Quake
Not 2 3 or 4, but good Ol' Quake, the first truly 3d shooter. I love this game, the atmosphere was dead on. i cant believe id Dropped the original idea and stuck with the whole strogg thing for the quake series.
Quake itself was a masterpiece, and both of the add-ons were great too, and almost as long as the actual game. I always wished i had more time and some skill with game programming so that i could get a team together to remake Quake with an upgraded engine (maybe FEAR or HL2), or a new chapter... i hate it when a good idea dies, espcially for one that is not as good. |
I loved Quake ...
before quake i played Doom a bit - wasnt that crazy about it. then i played Duke nukem - enjoyed that a fair bit ... But Quake blew my socks off - it was gorgeous - the layouts were rich and textured - and it was the first game i could crank up my resolution for. it's the only game i played for hours at the time it came out... i remember going to bed - closing my eyes and i was still reliving running down corridors, going ip elevators .. etc. Quake 2 was an improvement - i really liked that one too. I wish they'd put out Quake 1 and 2 for the xbox360 .. so i wouldnt have to play them on a computer :D |

you could probably ask around. Microsoft has a programming platform called XNA that is specifically for writing games, and allows them to be ported to xbox 360 with minimal work. I bet someone with enough time and skill could rewrite quake in a compatible language (which just happens to be C#, my specialty), especially since the quake engine has been open-source for a couple of years now.... So its not beyond the realm of possibility. |

well, that certainly leaves me out on both counts |

All it takes is the will and some time. I looked into it a couple of years ago, but the original c++ code is beyond me, plus i never have ANY time. |

Yeah even thought Q2 is up there with my most favourite shooters, I have to admit I said "ok what the fuck is going on here?".
I'd like to see the original game make some kind of return, either a sequel, or a remake...I'd love to revisit the q1 universe. |

Spent lots of time playing Quake and Descent...
once I get my new graphics card installed maybe I'll try Q4 and Quake Wars. |
