Can you do Quake mapping & modding on potato laptop and how difficult it would be?
That's one of the main concerns that stop me from giving it a try, but I feel like I'm just waking up excuses due to my indecisiveness/lack of self-confidence.

>The promise of a Bethnet server for all quake games seems to have died out with a new source port and the console ports like DOOM.
When and who made such promise? What exactly was promised? I tried to look that up, but can't find any mentioning of it. No article or anything like that. Would be nice if you have something as a prove.

It's just great. Gameplay, visuals, music... The game works and feels really well. Planning to replay Mission Packs at some point (they're good as well) + go through many mods/maps. Something I didn't really do when it comes to DOOM or any other game because I'm not much of a mod player, but in case of Quake it seems to be an exception. I simply wanna play more Quake, even though there's a ton of other games waiting for me in my Steam library... Damn, I might even try to make my mod (probably not, because I'm an indecisive loser with potato laptop).
It kind of bothers me that I abandoned my Heretic/Hexen marathon though.

Did anyone played in on QSS? Actually thought about playing it, but I have a feeling it could be janky on source ports.

In theory R. can look at it for Clovr along other games. Just ask him when he's around or I might do that.

>I've heard there'll will be a female doom skin soon.
Where did you get that from? Next couple of skins are more likely to leak after Keen event ends and new patch gets released.
Kind of expect Ranger skin, to be honest.

>That's actually pretty clever
It is indeed, although... Let's be honest, it's an obvious choice of a name for that skin. At least for people that are familiar with Quake.

>Definitely not Flynn because it sucks and it's from the novels.
Stan Blazkowicz? Its from DOOM 2 RPG and many people love those.
>Same goes for Quake Ranger.
Michael. Don't know about last name. Maybe take one from Lovecraft, but I'm not familiar with mythos. Champions mentioned how he played american football Miskatonic University, which is part of Lovecraft lore.

No idea, honestly.

>Quake Champions should've focused more on the niche crowd given that is now a dead genre.
Perhaps they'll catch up. I would say that this Ranger skin is an example of them focusing on niche crowd, but that's probably just me.
>Like that it could've get more popularity.
Honestly... I kind of feel like its great that QC isn't really that big. Probably that's because it reminds me a lot about Heroes of the Storm and in maybe reality its not that great for Quake to be as niche as it is.
>there's clearly tons of effort put into it.
Yeah. It's one of those cases where you look at some models and can feel that author put a lot of love and care into them.
>Maybe if they used an Id engine instead of whatever they're using which is not that good it could've helped the metagame.
Going back to Quake reboot discussion, I'll repeat my point about Champions: if new singleplayer Quake will happen, I hope they'll revamp QC in favor of multiplayer mode for that new game. Switch that hideous hybrid of id Tech & Saber3D Engine and put the game on proper id Tech 6-7.

>>Quake Champions lore initially said that Ranger after killing Shub Niggurath it decanonized the expansions
What? You mean, "Ranger being there only after killing Shub-Niggurath makes expansions non-canon"? That's not how it works. Like, Doomguy in there is from DOOM 16 time period and that doesn't affect Eternal in any way.

>lore
There's actual a lot of neat lore stuff in the game, surprisingly enough.
>Even Quake 2 Mission packs are now being acknowledged.
There's a weapon skins from like all Quake games and mission packs, no? Pretty cool.

>>7712165
>In theory QC's stuff may be salvaged for a hypothetical new SP Quake.
Wouldn't be the first time for id, honestly: Classic skin in Eternal was basically taken from Champions and slightly edited to fit in.
Getting Ranger in his Gladiator skin fighting Visor and Death Knight as DM-like heroes could be kino.
>I really doubt that though.
Who knows. I prefer to be optimistic while I can. There's a lot of setup with good potential for it in lore texts.
