I know you probably have seen this before as I have too but it's been a while and it is pretty funny so I thought revisiting this bit of humor would be good fun for some of you. Here it is then, without further ado, how Bethesda would release Quake today:

ALDI

:D

There are also a few episodes of Doom as it would be if it were released now. Search for "Call of DooTY" on Youtube. It's hilarious.

Needs more cover-based shooting and excessively elaborate HUDs with objective markers.

EDIT: Also QTEs. And an achievement for pressing space at the menu screen.

A: Hey, you wanted to license SpeedTree from us, correct?
B: Yes.
A: Okay, that would be $10,000 per developer / machine.
B: Any way we could lower that?
A: $8,000 per dev / machine if you include our logo during the launch of the game.
B: You have a deal.

:p

That was quite amusing. I loved that little video at the end with the rocket jumping, I actually used to be like that when I played Quake lol. Oh the shame.

Reminded me how grey, dark and bland Quake looked. Blech.

There's an WAD of Doom that's designed to play like Doom 3, only with a quad-barrel shotgun.

Deppresingly accurate .

And you're not going to get shooters like that any more while controllers continue to ensure that games have to cater for those with the reactions of a sloth. Maybe built in wiimote style sensors will help to change that?

I enjoyed the video, despite not having done much grenade jumping back with quake.

Liked the video. The graphics option i thought was cool.

now that was worth a watch! thanks :)

EDIT: I've been writing a few snarky, shitty posts because I get all defensive about the modern shooters that I like (Bioshock/Left 4 Dead/Far Cry 2), but then I was a little more considerate about the humour and I can't delete the post.
