    Never played it but the passion in this video… might pick it up. Looking for something to play between now and starfield

      I’m envious that you get to experience it for the first time. The Quake games are so worth it. Quake 3 becomes more arena-based but is an absolute blast to play online against people. It was a good chunk of my gaming life. 1 and 2 are FPS royalty. Simple and to the point.

        Q2 and Unreal tournament ruled my gaming life too. I started playing back in the “Heat.net” / MPlayer era. I miss those services so much

        Definitely will play this.

        Loved the newer doom games and absolutely loved Prodeus, so should love this too.

        Question is do I play switch, PS5 at 120hz or PC with mouse.

        (I have a kid so that list is order of how much I can play them)

          I would go for PC, simply for the fact that you can get a Quake 2 key for super cheap, and the upgrade is free on PC for existing owners.

          I played the Quake games originally on the PC, but they’re great with a controller. Just dial the sensitivity in and you’re good. That’s always my concern because I mostly play on consoles now too, but Id and Bethesda put a lot of care into their gamepad layouts and settings.
