Outside of both being incredibly influential, which has better gameplay: Quake, or Doom?

tbqh famiglia, both are overrated, quake only got big because of e-sports and for being the first game with decent netcode on dial-up connection, doom was huge because the engine could run on a cheap toaster for the time and only survived due to how large fast and accessible the modding community is

In no way I'm saying I dislike Doom, though, I think the design is brilliant for the limitations they had to work with

in retrospect they are a bit overrated, yeah I know it doesn't make sense. even back in the day doom was being praised for being the very first 2.5D engine or whatever in the same year when marathon and ultima underworld came out, but of course neither of those two games could run on an average joe's pc build of the time while doom could

see that's exactly what I'm talking about, if it wasn't for carmack the fps genre would have taken off just fine a few years later with marathon or something else because computer cpus were evolving so fast, it was just a matter of time

carmack was visionary for making his product accessible to the poor unwashed masses, not for "inventing shooting at things in the first person", a million games before doom had first person perspective

I'd personally say Doom. I love Quake, but Doom is just so satisfying in ways Quake misses out on due to everything being brown and the weapons being a bit meh.

Favourite console port of Doom btw is the playstation. Bit laggy and such but I thought the music and slightly re-designed levels really worked.

Quake was pretty crappy. The gun variety/balance is terrible, and the enemies arent as fun.

Doom is so great I still play it often whenever I get the urge to play it.

In general they're tied, both have their own strengths and have awesome fan made map packs. Quake mp kills dooms though. Quakes campaign also kills both doom 1 (except e4) and doom 2. I think I like plutonia more than quake however.

Not that those things aren't true, but I think the gameplay is the biggest part of the winning formula.

That's why it's fun even when ported to the 32X, SNES or Jaguar, far from ideal ports, but the core gameplay is still fun, plain and simple.

Its engine may be less advanced, but Doom fills its space much more fully. It has a limited set of tricks, but deploys everything it's got to maximum effectiveness.

Quake is even more technically advanced than the contemporaneous build engine games, but those present a world that's much more fun. Sure I can jump, but why a three-inch vertical? With the build games, I'm leaping about, blowing up walls, interacting with the world...with Quake I walk into things with a meta-sign on them. Fun seems like an afterthought.

It's a real pity that the actual Aleph One source port is really bad compared to the stuff that Doom players can enjoy. 30fps cap, can't check the menu and change your settings without quitting the game, need to manually edit a script file to set the FOV to something that doesn't invoke instant nausea, and a lot of bone-headed design decisions aimed at the more needless elements of accuracy (ie. limits on number of active enemies) that only go half-way and break cool mods in the process.

It's sad. That series deserves better.

The community around it is trash too. Not that it really matters anymore; I gave that series until the end of Marathon 2 to get good and I still felt nothing at the conclusion of Durandal. If anything, the end of Marathon 1 felt more momentous.

I think not having "boss" monsters really hurt the gameplay.

Not true.

The map design, the weapon balance, the movement system. That was not part of a 'technology demo'. That was made to be played multiplayer, and played seriously.

Quake 3's design is all but peerless in this regard, and is to this day a masterclass that any game designer looking to make anything multiplayer should study as a matter of course.

Piracy or sharing games was also a thing back then. I'm fairly poor but I still managed to basically play an overwhelming majority of them. I'd grant maybe someone didn't play FPS games because it's not their thing. I played a shit ton of games, but FPS is kind of my thing so as far as that genre goes, there's a significant chance of me having played or at least seen most of it. Other genres less so. All the ones in the image are pretty mainstream as far as they go, none of them are for example Radiaki, Terminator Rampage, or Isle of the Dead. I'd understand that.

What would quake have been like if the iD team weren't burnt out after designing the engine, and decided to drop in doom weapons and gameplay in order to get the game finished, instead of sticking with their idea of a more RPG-like 3rd person game with NPCs?

Also you just can't compete with 3D level design. sorry doom. Its unfair to compare one game to its successor, like comparing a Tiger to a Panzer IV; both excellent tanks, just in different classes.

Both are sensational games, I remember playing shareware doom from floppy disks, renting a brand new (at the time) sega saturn and playing Doom .
I bought quake when it first came out, me and my bro used to play it every time we went to our grandparents house after school. So many great memories.

As someone who loves sound, quakes music and atmosphere is the dealbreaker. real CD audio instead of MIDI, supplied by no less that trent reznor-inspired-by-coil. One of the all time best game soundtracks in my opinion. Doom doesn't even rank top 10 in that regard, sorry, thrash metal pseudo-covers on MIDI just doesn't cut it, some ok music by mr prince, but quake has something unique, and I feel it really gelled with the aesthetic of the game to make what doom lacked: a fully immersive experience.

Honestly? Probably worse than we'd like to think. I'm kind of almost glad they didn't. They managed to have a really good game. Not that I wouldn't give it a whirl but if they did it, we'd have lost the two best FPS games for multiplayer ever released. I'd take it as an aside, but I'd hate to give up Quakeworld or Q3 for it. Doom 1/2 and those two games are the only games specifically guaranteed to never leave my hard drive ever.

>instead of MIDI,
I hope you meant because MIDI is non-standardized therefore the experience differs from machine to machine. MOD or IT etc would have been far better in that respect. But MIDI is fine, it doesn't sound like shit. Though honestly Quake's soundtrack was sort of ill fitting once you weren't bad at the game. Which means it loses it's impact after it's first playthrough. It's nice enough for creepy ambient, but for Quake it's a bit lacking.

Mentally retarded opinion right here. Doom was nothing like anything, including Wolfenstein, at the time, and the soundtrack is amazing. The level design is clever, and shows strong detail-oriented thought on behalf of the designers.

Quake was great for similar reasons, but the level design, despite being interesting to look at and having some good ideas, was boring. Also the protagonist was overpowered constantly, so whenever you'd be trapped into a one on one with something crazy, you'd dominate.

Yeah, I ended up playing more UT than Quake 3 and even I was wondering what exactly they were getting at with this bullshit. They were probably trying to say it was incomplete because it was multiplayer only. Calling the first Quake a tech demo is blasphemous. Sure it might not be as cinematic or character driven as Half-Life but it wasn't meant to be, that doesn't take away from what a fantastic game it was for it's time. Revisionist history at it's finest, right here.

I know exactly what MIDI is. More specifically your computers soundcard or whatever you're using to interpret the general MIDI data doom is sending out doesn't compare to pre recorded and mastered CD Audio. Let alone the quality of Reznor's work.

No need to be fatuous, you know what I meant.

3d Levels > 2d Levels
pre recorded music > MiDI data

quake could have been much more, but its simply the next step from doom. Anyone who think its a "worse" game than doom is just fangirling.

Both games have great gameplay and level design, both have paved the way for game modding.
I like Doom for gameplay, I just love running around feeling like a god destroying everything berserk style. Its really fun to play even today.
Although Doom has more polished gameplay Quake has much better atmosphere and music, I just love Lovecraft and Quake is the only action game(there are some great point and click games but damn, FPS action genre? And its such an old game too) I know that captures lovecraftian atmosphere perfectly.

Also the atmosphere is the biggest difference between two games. In doom you feel like you are indestructable, you take on giant demons with your guns feeling fearless, you don't use the strongest weps all the time, only on rare monsters. While in Quake monsters are much stronger, have more health you have to use rocket launcher all the time. The whole environment is unfriendly to you, monsters are more dangerous, there are more traps.
My favourite example is how sometimes you MUST take damage to progress through the game, you must fall into a pit and take fall damage to go to the next level, it perfectly shows that world of Quake is much more dark and unfriendly than Doom's.

And yeah you'd say, that sounds flat still. That's not a midi issue, lack of expressiveness is pretty much purely a sequencing issue. Not a protocol issue. That's because they didn't tweak the sound perfectly and their input was more of a midi keyboard rather than something more dynamic like a wind controller or using a ribbon controller etc... MIDI sounds exactly like live music because it is ALSO live music when it's used live and the range of tonality is only depending on what you're putting the midi into, not midi itself. Likewise you can play all your favorite DOS games using whatever sound generators you want you don't even technically have to stick with GM standard if you don't want too.

The controller in >>2867445 isn't MIDI, it says right there in the description

We're talking about the general soundcard in most computers running Doom in the 90s. Not Wind-controlers. The sounds aren't great compared to CD Audio.
The fact you said "range of tonality" seems to imply you dont really know what you're talking about. Tonality has nothing to do with MIDI, and refers to the key a piece of music is in.

Even the best sequenced song in MIDI data with the greatest sound patches, all with nice reverb and effects still wouldn't compare to a professionally mixed and mastered recording.

What is "most computers"? Why are you trying this hard to move the goalposts, are you one of those turbolosers who just HAS to be right about everything?

Doom was designed specifically with the Roland SC-55 in mind. If you haven't heard Doom's music on an SC-55, you haven't heard Doom's music.

First of all, no, we're talking about MIDI. Whether that be a shitstick FM card or a SC-55 or whatever you hook out to midi. Secondly, yes we are talking about wind controllers and guitar controllers and keyboard controllers etc... because those are sequencing devices - they output midi. That means when you capture your midi output from them and play them on even the shittier cards you still get far more expressive music and when you play them on good modules you get great sound and great expression on a track. midi doesn't give a fuck.

Also let me rephrase that better, the range of timbre, fixed, now fuck off.

>Even the best sequenced song in MIDI data with the greatest sound patches
Actually, it does, in fact you just admitted it. What the fuck do you think real professional audio is made with? One point was oh it doesn't compare to reznors standard redbook faire... except midi is used in his studio for producing that music straight up digital audio and midi controller or nowadays also alternative (or even both) control protocols with better timing and bandwidth are mixed together. What you're hearing is often the result of using the midi protocols - even often down to the mixing and mastering using midi for level control protocols.

Hence the point, midi doesn't have 'a sound' it sounds exactly like anything you define it to play with device you set it up to use.

Also, it doesn't matter whether or not it was in the 90s. It still exists today. We're on a board that still plays it. It's relevancy has not changed in that respect.

My argument is entirely about the low quality of average soundcards compared to CD audio. How hard is that to understand?

Like I said, even the best GMIDI data requires careful attention from an musician or synth tech to make sound good. A CD just plays. It plays the same perfectly-mixed and mastered recording each time. This just provides a better product. No one buys CDs full of pure MIDI data. Games are one of the few places outside the musicians production studio where MIDI is put to use for the general public.

The general public had average sound blaster tier chips. Of course some hard core nerds had custom sound cards, but we can discount that small minority.

MIDI still doesn't provide as good an end result as CD Audio. I'm sure Mr Prince would have loved to use Actual recordings on doom, but for some reason he was left to work with only GMIDI.

Also If he makes such great music why does he do so many covers of mediocre metal songs?

Reznor and Prince are very different, and I dont really want to rate them against each other, but I believe the quake soundtrack was Reznor's best work, and made the game into something great. Something that "spooky" MIDI bends with lots of vibrato could never capture.

I wouldn't say something is someones best work without listening to their entire discography multiple times. TDS was one of my favorite albums for a while there.

Its simply my opinion that the soundtrack is his best work, because I dont really think much of him as a musician. Sure he can write angsty songs and is an excellent producer, but the atmospheres created in the Quake soundtrack are unique, and more in line with the music I enjoy. You dont have to agree with me, and many NIN fans wouldn't.

Compared to guys like Bach or Tristan Murail, Reznor is a small fry. But his soundtrack helped make Quake into a real experience.

So you think MIDI is only a technique? Its a language for a game to tell a soundcard what to play.
A better language is real audio, where the signal is exactly the same each time, and doesn't depend on your soundcard or MIDI device.

Unfortunately, all this hair-splitting over sound cards is ignoring one crucial detail; even if you have the best midi synthesizer in the world, cheesy 90's synth metal is still going to sound like cheesy 90's synth metal. If you don't like cheesy 90's synth metal, then a soundcard probably isn't going to make or break your enjoyment of it.

For reasons left unstated, Quake has superior gameplay. However, Doom is better remembered in this modern age. Consequently many people are voting for it simply out of recognition of its legendary status, despite the fact that they are too young to have played either game when they came out. This accounts for the wide margin by which Doom is winning the poll. It's probable that these individuals enjoy memes.

The trouble with Quake is that the people still playing it are so good it's very hard for beginners to get into the game. Even if you're reasonably good at other FPSs you'll lose against people who've been playing for nearly two decades.

This is why Quake is an atmospheric experience, and Doom is a fast-paced shoot em up. The music really reflects the character of each game. Doom is all about thrashing through maps at breakneck speed and killing everything in sight.
Quake is about soaking up the ambiance and and trying not to die while navigating some lovecraftian mazes

If only iD hadn't just dropped in doom-style gameplay and weapons after being burnt out designing the engine. It could have been a totally different game, but they held a meeting and decided just to get that damn thing finished, and that meant scrapping all their ideas for original gameplay (RPG elements, 3rd person, NPCs, etc)

Quake feels totally different to doom, and it the superior atmosphere and music that make it so.
Running around a 2D collection of walls with sprites that always face you to MIDI metal, compared to a fully 3D game with dynamic lighting and a custom ambient soundtrack. The only similarity is the gameplay of key hunts and endless killing. The aesthetics of the two games couldn't be more different.

Except for the story being roughly mirrored, the level design and verticality in Doom giving it a 3D feel unlike say Wf3D where your 2D wall collection statement would be more appropriate, emphasis on portals, some of the enemies being similar enough (pinkies/fiends), (basic grunts/zombiemen that act in extremely similar fashion), (cacodemon, scrag). Both have a healthy dose of spooky light play and their own spooky tracks, both have significant amounts of lava and level trap designs, Similar weapon sets - shotgun, SSG, rocket launcher, (nail gun/plasma gun in mechanics). Both games are gritty looking. They aren't identical clearly, but yeah they COULD be more different, very different because they're actually pretty similar.
Also coincidentally playing Doom with a collection of 3D walls feels identical and the sprites that always face you can be set to not always face you or even to 3D models, it really doesn't change the feel of the game as much as you make it out.

>/stupid questions post/

1. Using mouse/wasd keys in vanilla Doom under pure DOS, ok or heresy?

2. If using mouse turning in Doom/Quake, is it avoidable for the Y-axis of the mouse to move the player forward/back (i.e. just use the X-axis of the mouse for turning and ignore any Y-axis input)? It's annoying that the player while mouse-turning also gets pushed back/forward a bit due to collateral Y-axis movement.

3. In the default Quake key config, the 3rd mouse button is used to switch to mouse look. However, it seems quite a challenge to get the third mouse button to work under DOS in the first place - the standard Microsoft mouse.sys/mouse.com driver from back in the day doesn't seem to enable it (at least for a mouse which has a pressable wheel acting as the 3rd button). How did one enable the 3rd mouse button back in the day with a standard driver? (Using cutemouse which supposedly makes it easy feels like a cheat as it wasn't available in the DOS days.)

1. Mouse support was in from the start, don't let anyone tell you it wasn't. It was totally fucked up for anyone using a PS/2 mouse (which were common) so that's where the myth that mouse support as a whole was patched in later - version 1.6 fixed PS/2 mice.

2. This isn't an issue with Quake as it was one of the first FPS with "true" mouselook, but I recall turning the y-axis sensitivity to 0 and that seemed to solve that particular issue in DOOM.

3. Switching on mouselook is a standard menu option, you don't need a third mouse button. Alternatively, you can type +mlook in the console. Alternatively alternatively you can bind mouselook to a different key if for some bizarre reason you need to toggle it on the fly.

There is no y-axis sensitivity. There's just sensitivity for mouse. For Doom 1 and Doom 2.

For quake also you can put +mlook in a config file that autoexecutes when quake starts that does +mlook.

Yea, it was there in the setup, but wasn't enabled by default, so there seems to be a consensus that "the proper way" for Doom1/2 is arrow keys + space/ctrl/alt/shift/etc.

>It was totally fucked up for anyone using a PS/2 mouse (which were common)

Weren't serial mice still the most common in the mid 90s?

>for some bizarre reason you need to toggle it on the fly

That's how it's configured by default, isn't it? Default configs mostly seem to be associated with "as intended" (for a lack of a better word), same with the default lack of mouse usage in Doom making many think playing mouseless is "as intended".

(The mystery of enabling the third mouse button under DOS is, of course, only very indirectly related to the thread's topic, but if anyone remebers how to do it for a PS/2 mouse with a standard driver from the 90s (it must have been possible if Quake had the third mouse button preconfigured), that'd be great, thanks.)

It was pretty much a toss up - a lot of people who already owned computers *probably* had PS/2, and those who would have bought computers specifically to play DOOM and other games *probably* would have had serial. It's was a transitional period.

>That's how it's configured by default, isn't it?
Again, the mouselook option was a toggle that you set to either yes or no in the options menu. I'm pretty sure nobody really expected that players would be vacillating between control schemes while trying to shoot ogres. Quake was always a highly customizable experience via the console - the default movement keys weren't even WASD, and depending on whether or not you pirated a copy, it was entirely possible your idea of a "default" setup was actually some other guy's personal bindings. Why are you so determined to maintain a toggleable mouselook button - I'm seriously having a hard time understanding what you're trying to do here, do you actually WANT to do this stupid thing? For the record I had a three-button mouse back in the Quake days and it was bound to impulse 7 because everyone needs rocket launchers always, and I personally never had any problems binding anything to it, so if the question is "Could third mouse buttons be recognized in DOS?" then the answer is "Yes, why wouldn't they? (assuming DOS version 5.0 or later)"

>Yea, it was there in the setup, but wasn't enabled by default
>same with the default lack of mouse usage in Doom
You have to specifically say "Keyboard only" in the controls options menu when you install the game, it is NOT the default control scheme, it is specifically the third option after KB+M and the hilariously stupid KB+Joystick option. KB+M's keyboard default bindings still operated exactly the same as KB only.

DOS version is 6.22. Maybe the mouse driver is too old or something, it's the Microsoft driver v8.20 loaded from CONFIG.SYS (i.e. the mouse.sys file).

Anyway I found the DoomFAQ say this:

>[19-1-1]: Why does my mouse start moving itself during play?
>It is recommended that you upgrade to DOOM v1.666 to fix this problem.
>Older mouse drivers cause a problem with DOOM v1.2. Make sure you are using Microsoft mouse drivers v9.x instead of v8.x. Logitech mouse drivers v6.x work as well.

Maybe using a newer MS driver or a Logitech one will make the third button work, will try to test this later.

As for the defaults actually being such, if you delete the main config file Quake will recreate it with defaults and I seem to recall those defaults have mouslook set to toggle via either backslash or the 3rd mouse button. There I found the third mouse button (actualy a clickable wheel) did nothing and I wanted to resolve the apparently underlying issue of the 3rd mouse button not working.)

>it is NOT the default control scheme, it is specifically the third option after KB+M

I don't remember the Doom setup utility anymore, but if it's as you say, then I'm not sure why most people seemed to play mouseless. Maybe it was said PS/2 mouse issues they somehow wouldn't get around, dunno.

Well if you're using dosbox you can probably rig up a mouse driver that undoes it, but yeah it's annoying but you get used to controlling it so you don't slip too much.

>Weren't serial mice still the most common in the mid 90s?
Were they? I remember seeing like three. I mean maybe in old businesses, that's where I almost exclusively saw serial mice coming from, getting binned from old businesses or corporations cleaning shit out. It was rare as fuck to see anyone's home with a PS2 mouse and PS2 ports were basically standard on every home machine at in the 90s for the most part. I can see businesses actually having more serial mice than home users during the 90s honestly. It's why LCDs picked up in this era despite being mostly garbage for actual displays, because businesses swapped that shit out right quick for electricity savings and ease of moving. Most businesses don't need something that looks good, but they want something cheap and easy to deal with.

Wheel mice took a while to get in, there were two button PS/2 mice readily available for way longer than there should have been even with three button mice already being a thing. I can't say I remember specifically how to set up a PS/2 third button in DOS.

>so there seems to be a consensus that "the proper way"
That's also bullshit. Yeah it's the default but there is no "proper way" and people were rocking the mouse and keyboard way early in Doom, check out demos of some of the deathmatches with chocolate doom and shit. Some of them from as early as 1994-1995 were using mice to aim. There's no reason not to be using it now either. Honestly even games that didn't support modern controls can go fuck themselves as well, no reason a person shouldn't be using better controls for their games.

>then I'm not sure why most people seemed to play mouseless.
Because it was awkward and a lot of people didn't switch off arrows which was awkward as well. People were used to keyboard for other games as well and they could get by with keyboard.
Multiplayer is what accelerated mouse usage faster than anything else. Doom had more singleplayer people than multiplayer, though it did kick up a huge multiplayer scene as well.

That's odd. After all it's a microswitch like any other, and doesn't really have much to do with the wheel itself other than the fact that it's mechanically triggered by pressing down the wheel. Anyway I will try out some other dirivers later and see if I can get it to work somehow.

Romero played Wolf/Doom/Quake with mouse and keyboard
Carmack played Wolf/Doom/Quake with mouse and keyboard
Everyone on iD played Wolf/Doom/Quake with mouse and keyboard, the games were literally designed with this in mind, keyboard only was always a concession for people who didn't have a compatible mouse back in the day.

You can go ask Romero or Carmack on twitter, or send them an e-mail, I promise you they won't tell you that Doom was designed to primarily be played with just a keyboard and no mouse.

Well, it's kind of disingenuous to say they all used mouse and keyboard like it was a modern setup. I mean, John Carmack's config was arrow keys for strafe/movement in Quake 2 for fuck sake.
Same with Paul Steed more or less.
Similar with Paul Jaquays.
Sean Martin on Q2 had worse arrow keys in that they his wasn't even strafe. They were default arrows.
Tim Willits didn't even have a setup for strafing.
Todd Hollenshead has strafe added to his - but his config setup appears to either either the basis or based on Willits config. Someone had a config file they setup and passed to either of them and they modified it.
Barret Alexander had a sort of makeshift config where . and / were for strafing and , was duck. He clearly moved his hand left and used a mouse button for forward and left arrow for backwards with his thumb and had weapon binds around the middle of the keyboard next to the strafes.

The only config in there that's really a proper MKB setting that isn't clearly half-assing it thresh. Which has WASD and other keys around it for weapons and such. A little odd with his for his choice of ducking button, but whatever.

Not even by Q2 were they optimally using it. If you asked them if they were using mouse and keyboard the answer would probably be yes but the technically correct response would be likely (rolling the mouse forward to move forward and other weird shit while hitting other things like space and number keys occasionally.)

Romero didn't have a config, but I'd put a small amount of cash down that his was closer to thresh's than anyone else at ID by Q2 since he actively played Doom deathmatch at LANs and tournaments and such, his doom config likely changed a bit to keep up.

Doom was clearly designed to use the mouse, but not to use the mouse correctly. Even turning the Y sensitivity off and only using it for left and right movement would have been the best and most straightforward option if they were, yet no such option like that was created.

I'm noting that I'm stating that because he was one of the primary guys on Doom and Quake. Obvious reason why his config is not in Quake 2's pak file.
Quake 1 only has the default config in there. Though whomever is playing the demo for both Quake and Doom, actually has a decent but not amazing handle on modern style MKB. I'd imagine it's Romero because he had a reputation for trouncing everyone and just being able to handle like that would likely do it.
Whoever is playing the Q2 demo, is a lot worse than Doom and Quake's player.

Yeah quake really was a big run-out-of-time fest.

I guess all that innovation and hard work that went into the engine didn't really pay off for the gameplay. A pivotal game for FPSs, but essentially a doom clone in the gameplay.

Of course, many people have done spooky ambient better than trent reznor, but we're talking about Doom vs Quake here. Other games and composers/producers aren't really relevant.

I personally prefer Tristan Murail as my spooky go-to guy. Anyone who isn't a trained composer isn't really worth listening to, but thats just my opinion.

If you knew what you were talking about, you'd know that the NIN guys did have plenty of input, and were able to play/see mock ups of the game to get the feel of it.

It was one iD guys job to fly to New Orleans and bring the latest build of quake to the studio NIN were using, and see what they've been up to / give feedback. I think it was American McGee. I remember reading an interview with him recently.

It actually was. I never played mutliplayer. Only the singleplayer. And loved it every time.

I think the moral of the story is, not everyone is you, and people have different opinions on games. I personally prefer the Quake single player to Doom.

If I was to go back and play either Vanilla Doom or Vanilla Quake, I know I'd be playing quake.
For me, thats a clear winner of "which game was better". Its not really fair on doom due to quake being released after doom, with all the knowledge and hindsight iD had at that time.

Due to very peculiar circumstances, Quake's development was dragged out, yet also rushed.

It was gonna be a medieval fantasy RPG FPS initially, but as the deadline drew closer and with little done, it wwas decided "fuck it, this isn't ever gonna work, let's just take what we have now and turn it into a Doom-like game"

I don't think a game like Quake could have ever become what it was if it wasn't for these circumstances. Some things seem nice and polished, but others just aren't at all. It's a good game, but not at all what anyone had in mind.

I like it, but ultimately I think Doom is a much more complete vision and game, things changed during development, but ultimately iD made what they had set out to do.
Quake wasn't that at all.

The original idea for Quake dates back before Wolfenstein 3D. Initially it was titled "Quake: The Fight For Justice"

Basically, it would star this guy named Quake, a big bad mama jama of a hero warrior, Romero had a lot of grand ideas for it, he wanted advanced NPCs with daily routines and all that shit, you were supposed to have a companion which was called the Hellcube artifact, that would punish you if you were doing badly (by hurting you, or possibly just fucking off somewhere for a long while), and reward you for doing good, like healing you and stuff.
This was discussed as early as the days of Commander Keen and Dangerous Dave, Romero had even made a few bulletins discussing it as if it was an upcoming game (several years before it would have even been on the table or realistically doable). He was excitable like that.

After Doom 2, Romero was put in charge of leading the development of Quake, and he really didn't do a good job of it (absent, neglectful, unhelpful, etc, it was the real beginning of his asshole period), which is why it was eventually retooled into a Doom clone.

He really liked the idea of it, and wanted to do it, but he didn't at all put in the effort into it that he put into Keen, Wolfenstein or Doom, he wasn't there all day, working, making his ideas come through, guiding the team in development, making maps, his design document was a one sided sheet of paper.
He was supposed to be there to direct the team but he never was, and they got tired of that, sitting with their thumbs up their asses with the deadline drawing ever near.

http://hnv.nin.net/hnv8/mcgee.html paints a completely different picture.

Also calling Chris Vrenna "one of the guys from NIN" is like saying Dave Grohl is one of the guys from Nirvana.

Your interview also greatly overstates Vrenna's involvement in the Quake 1 soundtrack since it draws from an interview in which they are clearly discussing the Quake 4 soundtrack (which Vrenna deserves a credit for). All McGee has said about it is that he met Vrenna because he was in NIN up until Trent was (being essentially the entirety of NIN) doing everything himself on that game because that's how Trent works. If Vrenna has any musical contributions to the Quake OST it would have been done through Trent's discretion and since he doesn't have a credit for it, then I guess we can safely say his contributions were negligible and he quit right afterwards, anyway, allegedly because Trent's a control freak.

"Keyboard only" IS the *default* option. In earlier versions of the setup utility it was listed first, in later versions last, but it's always highlighted by default. Back up your default.cfg file, remove it from the doom/doom2 directory, start setup.exe and see for yourself. That, coupled with the buggy PS/2 support up to and including Doom v1.3 is probably the main reason behind why many if not most users started playing with keyboard only and sticked with it (most people stick with whatever is default and/or don't bother reading docs from which they might have learned that PS/2 mouse support was fixed at some point).

That is the stupidest thing I've heard about DCotE. The raid ends with you escaping the factory while being chased by a shoggoth - this isn't a cutscene either. After that you're fighting cultist wizards and minions of Dagon (and Dagon himself) while having PTSD nightmares of being part of the Great Race of Yith's lore-gathering mind switching.

Saying that it abandons the lore at ANY point in time is fucking ridiculous. It has like 3 action-shooter setpieces, the rest is pure nightmare sauce.

I've never seen the goonies. I thought I was the only one.

For me it was Quakeworld, by the time I had a computer that could actually run Doom fullscreen Quake 2 was already out and I started with that. Then I went back to Quakeworld, which I played non stop for 2 years.

Haven't played Doom in years. I distinctly remember it being a more light hearted and fun, whereas as Quake felt more serious.

It's horses for courses. They're similar in mechanics, but the feel is completely different. Doom is a fast paced blood soaked kill'emall style of game that's about a Marine tearing his way through hell to the sound of heavy metal. Quake, while it really could have done with more plot, is about some mysterious force fucking with a science project and destroying an entire organisation, forcing the survivor to make his way through Cthonian labyrinths across time and space to try and stop it filled with dread.

quake has a good rocketlauncher, a fucking LIGHTNING GUN, TWO. NAIL. GUNS., a god damn AXE, a GRENADE LAUNCHER

the minigun in quake feels like a bb gun, the chainsaw is worse than the fists, and the bfg is just a plain shit weapon that completely ruined multiplayer railgun style

Quake's shotguns feel weak.
The nailgun is kind of bland.
The Super nailgun is kickass.
The grenade launcher is bland
The rocket launcher feels really powerful and amazing
The lightning gun is ok
The axe is boring

The Doom shotguns feel like they actually pack punch and matter.
The chaingun is ok
The rocket launcher is ok
The plasma rifle is awesome
The BFG9000 is awesome
The chainsaw is cool as fuck

I prefer Quake over Doom because of all the technical advances it has brought to the First-Person shooter genre. It's a game that has all of the aspects I love about FPS games from having tons of Single and Multi-player maps to pick from. Even though Quake III Arena crumples it in the Deathmatch department, the Q1 maps still have a ton to offer when it comes to appreciating the architectural marvels.

Sure, check with your local library they've all been jumping on this new information tool that can be used on things called computers there. They set it up on a 'network' that connects to a so called "information superhighway." It's pretty much guaranteed to be available there. If you're not sure about what do many libraries have classes for using it, going over such advanced features as mouse, mouse clicking, peripherals, files, folders, opening programs, and using the world wide web.

>Quake's levels are fucking garbage.
Thats your opinion.

I think Quakes levels far exceed doom. 2.5D level design just doesn't stack up to fully 3D levels. Some of the later episodes are glorious, and all levels display excellent design and ability to go a few different routes through a level.

Neither game compares to the level design of Blood. Truly an underrated gem compared to ID games.
