Great video

12 years later... still the pinnacle of FPS gaming.


Quake came before Unreal, and Unreal is just a poor man's quake, it tried to be more "Realistic" and such, and tried to compete against Quake III, they even released  earlier than they wanted to gain some market share, so they released it about a month (if i remember?) before Quake III ,  but nn the end, no one cared much, was too much of the same, that is until UT 2003 was released, that Epic Games got that iconic Bulky armored character design that they have in all their games

oh and as you notice already i was with the "Quake Rocks Unreal Sucks"club, kind of like today's Battlefield 3 vs CoD MW3 , but really more tounge in cheek and less retarded ...

Ok but Wait. What is exactly realistic about UT? Yes Quake came out before and it was better than Unreal, but I'm talking about Unreal Tournament. I'm not an Unreal (only) fan.

Btw. I loved both Quake3 and UT, in the end I prefer UT only because it has a better selection of maps and weapons imo, also it was even more frenetic.

You can ask the developers it was hyped as a more realistic and bloody ,gory...ect ect FPS than it's competition, then after that when they saw that it looked too much like Quake , they tried to change it a bit.

Quake 3 is the pinnacle because of the strafe jumping alone.

What do you mean? You don't like strafe jumping?

- you say Unreal champ

- me say Quake champ because of strafe jumping

- strafe jumping listed under Quake and not Unreal: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strafe-jumping

- you ask me if I don't like strafe jumping

- me scratches head with thoughts along the lines of ''how on earth did he misunderstand me''

That is too true. Really sums up my feelings about this ridiculous generation.

People can have their "expanded audience" and "broad appeal", I want to play games.

Great video but he forgot some things:

- Regenerating health
- Online/Co-op options (but no splitscreen)
- 2 weapon system
- Maybe a couple stupid ass AI teammates that just get in the way and don't help

and lots more

Ah, ok. I have misunderstood the meaning of strafe-jumping. I didn't knew english at the time I used to play Quake 3 (I still don't know it very well now ).

UT had a sort of very simplified strafe-jump.

Funny, but an exaggeration.

no worries!

My friend is one of the best Quake 3 players in the country - Nothing comes close to a one on one deathmatch between 2 skilled players in. It's really a sight to behold.

UT had normal strafe dodges with pressing arrow twice (IIRC it was still before gamers moved to WSAD as default) that's completly different than Q3 strafe jumping which increased speed of your movement)

Marking this thread so I can watch the video later.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?
