Hello, i'm new here. It's nice to be a member of the Quake community. This game is really the shit. I just wanted to say how i got into Quake from a player that only plays PS3 games.
It all started when i saw this clip:
[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1ZtBCpo0eU]If Quake was done today - YouTube[/ame]
I think that clip attracted a lot of new players to the first Quake game because it looks amazing compared to modern days FPS games. My reaction was "damn...games nowadays are like a stupid kindergarden teacher who forces you to go to the next destination by pulling your ear all the time
" No freedom whatsoever. Too much programed sequences and...you know the rest.
I'm more of a console player as i said. I only played Quake 2 on the PS1 when i was a kid. That game was just average, and to me the beginning of the standard FPS games that we have today. I tought that the first Quake was just like the second one. Boy was i wrong when i first played the game 2 weeks ago.
This really has to be one of the greatest games ever, especially when you combine it with the DarkPlaces mod engine. I was blown away a million times of the sheer awesomness. This is exactly the game i needed. There's a lot to explain, but i don't want to make the text too long. I will never forget this summer, the summer where i discovered a not forgotten by some, but by most players nowadays, a game that was the games of games and everybody talked about back in the days. Quake.
I just wonder when FPS games will go back to it's roots. They knew how to make level designs back in the days let me tell you that. And i wanted to say thanks to those people who devoted themselves to mod this game. a FANTASTIC JOB. You can't really say in this age which is the best FPS game ever, but to me, this comes first, second, Duke Nukem 3D and third, Crysis 1
