QUAKE III REVOLUTION demands a remaster.

[@charleschamp9826]

I could have sworn hearing somewhere that the Xbox Live Arcade version of Quake III does have a story mode of sorts that was different than Q3R's. And yeah, I hope Nightdive is able to include all the content from all versions if they're ever hired to do a Quake III remaster. I'd like to use all these various Tiered Skins of the Story characters online, that'd be cool.

[@HXRDWIREDGaming]

saber will never allow it, they killed quake champions by fixing the netcode 4 years in. It's a trash shovel company.

[@JeffreyPiatt]

Quake III has a single player storyline

When I played Q3 Revolution on PS2 I LOVED it so much, before I never played the pc version but had the Dreamcast version before it. The controls on Q3 Revolution are great, and frame rate very solid, didn't mind the lack of online play. Spend hundreds of hours on it. Good old days...

[@okaywegood]

​@RubyRangerr if only you just posted these videos instead of 500 shitty 2 hour livestreams.. then you'd had more subscribers (put the livestreams on a separate channel and you'd be so much more successful).

[@RubyRangerr]

@@okaywegood here's the thing: I've already tried that. Once KZbin set it up so that videos and livestreams appeared as separate tabs and that the streams didn't push the videos out of the algorithm, I decided to keep everything here on one channel. I've built up a community with my friends and my audience, and when I stream, that is just as much for the community as the videos are. Stick around, hang out, check out the memes and get to know the folks around here. While I would to see larger financial success from this channel, the bigger success I gain is from the community and how we interact with each other. Stay hydrated.

[@kwaddamage8286]

I played quake 1 and 2 in some pay-by-hour coffee shops in the mid 90s, but didnt have a good PC for quite a while. My access to quake at home was Quake 3 Arena on Dreamcast. It is hard to go back to controller after being into PC games for so long, but man it was fun at the time. staying up late at night playing Arena. i remember you could spectate, and id end up falling asleep watching spectate

[@samuelantoniocastillomeza5034]

As much as I love Quake Arena Arcade, I wish we could get this version of Quake Arena in modern systems. I got to play it on the PS2 when I was a kid and was addicitive!

[@Tokumastu1]

Really wish Nightdive would remaster Quake 3. I think they could easily make Revolutions campaign part of the main game I'll be it by sticking to the original gun roster for the sake of balance. Getting the rights to use Revolution's additions shouldn't be hard. Quake 1&2 expansions were done by other companies. Quake 2's The Reckoning was done by Xatrix, later absorbed by Activision and we still got that expansion in the remaster. Quake 3 deserves the love and also fingers cross that we can get Machine games to add some new maps or characters.

[@JeffreyPiatt]

Microsoft aquired Activision basically rescuing ID Software's partner companies

[@NavJack27gaming]

THANK YOU FOR ENJOYING THE N64 CONTROLLER FOR FPS GAMES!!!! People think i'm CRAZY but the analog stick + shoulder hold targeting makes absolute sense.

[@Robert_G93]

Yeah this version deserves a remaster

[@austinblack7991]

Ruby the Dreamcast version is better because you can play it with a keyboard and mouse

[@Chuma95]

I think with this video it suggests an amazing approach, a Quake 3 remaster (made by Nightdive/Machine games) that mixes all of Quake 3 content : Quake 3 Revolution singleplayer, Quake 3 Dreamcast extra content and a base game of Quake 3 that can switch with Quake Live options and settings to keep the community together, with this the singleplayer aspect is covered and Quake 3 can get an amazing resurgence and preservation! Nice job Ruby! best wishes for you!

[@toiletwineconnoisseur6434]

New QuakeDad video?! perfect thing to relax with after a rigoruous workout!

[@IcyXzavien]

Despite me being on console for most of my gaming life, I never really liked playing shooters all too much. It wasn't until I played BotW for the first time in 2019 where I experienced gyro aiming and it just clicking with me. I didn't realized I hated stick aiming until that moment and I haven't looked back since. Even though I struggle with getting used to keyboard movement, I have been able to enjoy a ton of boom shoots with a controller because of gyro (and pc remappers like steam input).

[@Ohmygodiamonfire]

[@SAYHI2JAMMY]

It’s finally here!!! Been waitin on this one, I love me some q3r

[@jess648]

the system shock elevator music LOL

[@SR-388]

I enjoy both control inputs personally, a big issue alot of older fps games have on twin stick aiming are large input deadzones that love the axial aiming method with no circular motion, lowering those helps alot with input and reaction, but again controllers aren't for everyone when it comes to fps games. I view the control and its playstyle similar to keyboard only controls that doom and marathon offered. as for this port it seems cool and I like the hud more then pc quake 3.

[@spitt0110]

I wish I could still play mouse and keyboard, I cant seem to get the ergonomics right, all these games with controller mapping saves me. and modern tweaks to controller sensitivity helps. I fought through it when Quake 1 was remastered but my hand hurt for days after. My wired XBOX controller is the best. I also don't play hard so it for my now casual gameplay. but I would love to replay this game as I did have it on the ps2 for the LOL

[@casanovafunkenstein5090]

I feel like you may get something out of the Unreal Championship games on Xbox, which is a more developed take on a single player focused arena shooter for console. It adds a bunch of unique cutscenes and mechanics, such as melee attacks and special moves that provide an alternative to guns and help address the issue of respawning and being underpowered by allowing for incoming shots to be blocked and increasing mobility without requiring execution heavy stuff like bunny hopping. It does however get rid of the weapon variety in favour of load outs that use generic ammunition of several different types, which makes for a less nuanced overall metagame due to you only getting the weapons you favour instead of weapon locations being tied to the level design in a more curated manner that requires a bit more planning. I'd have liked the melee and mobility options to have been included with no deductions or streamlining of the ranged game, personally.

[@RubyRangerr]

I'll have to go check that out now!

[@KingSigy]

Unreal Championship 2 is legitimately great. It’s also backward compatible on Xbox One.

[@Gremlini-Elf]

Man the unreal championship series had some great character designs...

[@a-dragon-hoarding-teacups]

@@RubyRangerr also came to the comments to say you should check out Unreal Championship 2, game is quite a bit its own thing. You can reflect projectiles in it with the melee weapon and get the Mortal Kombat announcer to go, "Rejected!" as you kill someone with their own Instagib shot. Game was only on the original Xbox though, never got ported to any other platform.

[@ThommyofThenn]

Edit: its not just an age thing. I'm at least 10 years your junior and agree completely You truly know your audience haha. I was about to go on a very angry rant about that mutant controller but you followed it up with the anti-goldeneye part and that balanced out my rage with a sense of righteous happiness cause i also find it's one of those games that only has its rep due to its fans nostalgiacoping THAT hard. God damn saying anything bad about goldeneye is like spitting on the mona lisa or punting a baby off niagra falls. Thanks for not cowtowing to the goldeneye lobby

[@darthagent6]

You’re gonna be pleasantly surprised when you play the Slave Driver version of PowerSlave. That game is a shining example of remaking a PC FPS for consoles. I haven’t played it with a controller it was designed for, but just from my own experience playing the remaster I can feel how controller friendly it truly is. The level design and game mechanics really stand out as custom-tailored for consoles with a world map, solid platforming, and metroidvania elements in 1996! That was half a year after Mario 64 and four months before Symphony of the Night! I still love the Build version, though, as it has its own cool ideas. Gosh, both versions are great, but comparing them is like night and day. …I got a bit off topic didn’t I? Great video as usual. I’ll have to pick up a copy of Revolution for myself as they are fairly cheap nowadays.

[@contrabandresearch8409]

Turns out aiming well with a controller has a lot to it. A couple videos I've watched said there are games just to test your aim with dual sticks (they have you aim and shoot at spheres that are displayed all over your screen) and you need to use these warm up your hands and fingers. Also aiming higher up on the screen is better (in a lot of your footage you're mostly looking towards the ground). There are different grips to use on the controllers and better ways of flicking the sticks to make aiming accurate.

[@RubyRangerr]

Maybe I'm not aiming well because I have a hard time with dual stick controllers in first person shooters.

[@bloodborne410]

ı really liked this video ı can sacriface my left ball

[@Twisted_Logic]

Didn't know there even was a console port of Q3A. This looks pretty cool! Also: the 64 did have some weirdly great shooters on it. Kinda sad that when dual analogue came on the scene it completely killed single-analogue style experiences. Probably bias talking, but the GameCube Metroid Prime games are probably the pinnacle of the single-analogue shooter. And, imo, the original GCN versions are still the 2nd best way to play them after PrimeHack (a modded version of Dolphin that adds true mouse and keyboard support)

Duke Nukem 64 needs an official remaster with mod support. That port was better than the original game because of it's guns... fight me. Halo CE with a controller it still a good way to play and I crush PC players in Matchmaking, I prefer that over mouse and keyboard but playing Quake with the same controller is awful. I wish Q3R was ported to the OG Xbox too just because the Xbox was stronger hardware and had xbox live.

the console kid in me who grew up playing Goldeneye is very upset with you right now. Adult PC gamer me is much more understanding(also love the use of System Shock 1 elavator music for that bit)

[@spitt0110]

i remeber at one point someone did get the skins and keeper level ported to q3a. But an entertaining large boss fight is totally what q3a was missing. the challenge tutorial maps of quake live where a welcome edition. but how much of a single player game can you get out of an arena shooter other than copying like The unreal formula.

[@DreddMeister]

I played through Q3R a few months back, on a PS2, just to add to my list of completed Quake games, and it was painful. The only reason to play FPS with a controller are for splitscreen co-op/deathmatch with friends. I've been calling for a 25th anniversary Q3/live remaster for nearly two years now. Would be awesome to add a remastered Q3R to the bundle. I like the Kex engine but please don't use it. Needs to use id tech 3.

[@kobra7227]

TBF the PS3 got the short end of the stick when it came to multi-platform ports so I couldn't blame you for hating the experience overall. Being an xbox 360 kid before going to PC i had better first impressions of shooting on a controller. Do I prefer M+KB? Yes ofc. But anything like Devil May Cry or Ninja Gaiden I switch to a controller cus its just a better experience for me.

Absolutely, controller always for hack n slash action oriented movement.

[@ADistantImage]

@RubyRangerr If you say so, but people literally develop health problems from playing that way instead of with the tools designed for it. Are you sure you're not just limiting yourself because a bunch of elitists couldn't adapt to something new for decades and decided to talk trash instead? Be a shame since the DS5 fn destroys (and I don't even like modern Sony, I just use their controller)

[@RubyRangerr]

@@ADistantImage Wow. "A bunch of elitists." Look, gamers of all kinds and types suffer from elitism. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo, and PC fanboys alike. I've been playing these games since 1992. While I *can* play shooters with analogue sticks, mouse and keyboard feels much more precise, and better to play for me. If by health issues you mean carpal tunnel, you can develop that by using a gamepad also. I have tendonitis from working in service, and I have to take care of my wrists. Whether writing, playing games on keyboard or gamepad, or working out, I take care of my wrists. I don't understand what makes you think PC "elitists" who stick with mouse and keyboard are any worse than console "elitists" who swear up and down by gamepads and nothing else. For me, the old ways are the best ways when it comes to first person shooters, and yes, I've tried them all. There's no school like the old school.
