Quake 6? Will there be one?

[Baker]

One upon a time, long long ago they thought there would be an infinite number of sequels to the movie Friday the Thirteenth.

But there WEREN'T!

I think they made 8 or 9 Friday the Thirteenth movies, if you count that Jason vs. Freddy movie from 2 or 3 years ago.

There is a Quake 4, but I think it was a 6/7 year gap between Quake 3 and Quake 4. (Quake 3 is 1999, right? Or was it 2000?)

The question ... what will the final # in the Quake series be?

----

My thoughts: I think if they make a Quake 5, and I bet they will, it will be the final Quake in the Quake series IF they don't finally do an actual sequel to Quake as Quake 5.

I think the Quake series has drifted far enough away from scary organic monsters to off to the land of aliens to blur the identity of the game.

I think if they make a Quake 5 and do it right, where doing it right is making an actual sequel to Quake with all monsters and no talking enemies -- because Quake monsters don't talk and maybe they don't even truly think -- in a nightmare dimension, I think there would be many more Quake sequels due to the success.

Id Software has already claimed to have decided to end the Quake Series, as well as the Doom series with Quake 4 and Doom 3 respectively.

(with the exception of Quake Wars, which is non-cannon)

There are other Quakes? what the hell?!

OH HELL! Screw you guys, I'm going to play some Quake 4 DM! Railgun here I come!

Bank: Where is the source for that statement?

I don't believe id Software will make any more Quakes... but other companies might keep it going. like Raven, or Splash Damage...

Bank: Where is the source for that statement?

During an interview concerning Doom 3 (included with the Doom3 collector's edition), they not only said that they would discontinue the Doom series, but that since they ported the last game to Raven, the Quake series was over as well. There is a slight possibility that Raven would try to make an additional quake game, but it's very unlikely, and even more unlikely to be approved. Quake Wars is the final spinoff. Id stated that they are moving on to a new franchise.

I always thought there was going to be Q5 because Q5 felt sort of incomplete.

There has to be an expansion on quake 4, just listen to what happens at the end. the commander guy says, "kane, you have a new mission..." and you hear the makron's evil laugh in the backround...

[Sajt]

Expansion pack? :p

Expansion packs a game do not make.

They can't just leave us hangin...

ive imagined before the best sequal quake 1 could have and it was pretty awesome at times. of course thats just a dream, i still think its possible somewhere down the road

[scar3crow]

If there is to be a sequel to the original Quake, I will be involved.

[Entar]

Yep

I was just thinking recently how cool it would be if id software made Quake5 a sequel to Quake1, maybe using that next-gen techonology Carmack has been working on. /me grins diabolically
