I have a highlighted a few of the more important changes and fixes. It really looks like id is finally narrowing down on the things that will make Quake 4 the game we were all looking for on release. Of course, much of life is about timing...id may very well be set to make Quake 4 the ultimate FPS DM and CTF game, there is no doubt of their capability to do so. Whether or not the time has passed for a game of this type is a matter of some small debate. Regardless, you have to give id massive props for the level of support they have provided for a game that was mangled by another developer so long after release. Frankly, I can't remember another company that stepped up to the plate with this amount of community support.
Personally, my belief is that this is the ONLY game that can help take esports mainstream. There are very few games that have the level of spectator excitement that Quake does. The speed of the movement and the high levels of skill required to compete make the game an easy fit for commentator coverage and mainstream media coverage.
Whether or not the world is ready for esports...who knows? If the world is ready, Quake is the only game that can make it happen. |
