Quake: The Lore

Quake is one of the most important and revered video games of all time. Its release in 1996 set the stage for first person shooters for decades to come and created a community that thrives to this day.

We had the opportunity to create a series of videos about Quake Champions and the rich history of the franchise in the months leading up to QuakeCon 2017.

Honestly it's such wasted potential that they shove all this detail and lore into Quake Champions maps because in the end you just strafe jump your way through them too fast to appreciate it. Quake singleplayer reboot really needs to happen someday.

This proves that Quake Champions really needs a campaign mode.

Just make a remake of quake 1 please, the map designs and concept art proves to me that this can be a standalone game.

Love the Lovecraftian setting Quake has crafted. I hope it gets explored more in depth soon.

from the title and description, i did not expect this to be all about quake champions.

I miss so much a lore heavy quake game, a single-player of course. There's so much potential here, thrown out of the window, put into a game where people won't even look at it. It can have multiplayer, sure, but have it as a secondary feature. We need another Quake to shake the game industry like we had back in 1996. Good ol'times

Seeing this still makes me hold out hope for a Quake reboot with the lovecraftian setting.

I really want to dive back into that stuff.

Kinda reminds me how DOOM 2016 teased the Knight Sentinels home world with its Mutiplayer maps.

I'm still waiting for a Quake singleplayer. :'(

Anyone know where I can get the statue at 0:11?

Quake Champions could have been so much more than just fan service in e sport pandering crap. There was the potential to with nothing more than one move, summon multiple packages. Which could've saved a lot of trips.

When you make lore for a multiplayer game... You either have abundant resources or you make poor choices

[thelaughingmanofficial]

You guys could have remade Quake with all this stuff but instead you chickened out and made a stupid e-sport hero shooter. *golf clap*

Uhhh... Whatever happened to the cyborg enemies of quake? We have doom all over again it seems like...
