id's downfall as a company kickstarted by one (1) single game:

Yep, but Doom 3 isn't /vr/

Dafuq you talking about OP, Quake 2 is awesome.

Yeah, maybe if you're a RETARD. Slow firing weak weapons with bullet spongey hitscan enemies doesn't make a game good.

Honestly Ids downfall was because Carmac refused to expand the company. It was taking too long to produce new games and by the time they were finally released they weren't cutting edge anymore. Quake2 comes out, then Unreal makes it look like shit. Doom3 comes out, but Half Life 2 was an even greater leap of tech. Rage comes out and nobody cared. Selling out to Bethesda was the right choice.

what's with all the quake 2 threads lately?

>>5678714
bretty much this.

The fact they lacked top talents in the area of design. Is also an Issue. The absence of Romero is glaring.

Quake II may not be very good but it's still better than Doom 3 and Nu-Doom

I don't know, anon
it's as if something related to quake 2 happened recently

>> No.5678972

fuck off zoomers you only care about quake 2 because the ray tracing demo.

>> No.5678983

id kinda kept making the same game over and over just with more bells and whistles. The formula eventually got really old with Doom 3 which received mostly negative reviews and feedback vs. Half-Life 2 which released around the same time. Even Quake 4 (which was made by Raven on the Doom 3 engine) was a much better game, even though still mediocre.

what a trash list, JK is infinitely superior to Q2.
Even it's multiplayer is more attractive.

...are you implying that's Carmack's ideology? Because that makes zero sense. Or is the idea that Carmack is making that smug face at somebody else saying that?

Tim Sweeney, are you fucking desperate that this techdemo is relevant once again and it even outddicked your garbage unreal engine at every turn ever since 98?

Theres so much wrong with that tally. Quake 2 is a good shooter for 97 but come on. This only goes to show what it was like back then with critics and the general consensus about graphics/tech over gameplay. What magazine did this come from by the way?
