How would you make a Quake movie?

>>214335934 (OP)
Army of Darkness

>>214335934 (OP)
um, John Cena?

>>214335934 (OP)
Software mode only.

>>214335934 (OP)
Never played the games, what's the story about? Like Doom?

>>214336124
The first is like Doom in a sense. The second and others became more sci-fi with the whole Strogg thing.

>>214335934 (OP)
White boomer with a nailgun shooting niggers

>>214336147
Are the game characters charismatic enough for a direct y adaptation or just the setting with whatever characters for a movie?

>>214336256
There are no characters. It's like doomguy. You're just some nameless, silent badass that goes around fucking up enemies. There's no real cutscenes or anything.

>>214336256
There are no characters in Quake 1 or 2. Quake 4 ostensibly has characters and a plot but they're pretty bland and no one really cares about them

>>214336256
>game characters charismatic enough
they're of limited range

Didn't play Quake 1, didn't play Quake 2, but holy shit did I play Quake 3 Arena back in the day. I made it my entire life, joined a website that had official matches a top 300 (i think) player list, and when you reported your win or lose it calculated your new rank.

My best was I think 56th place. But late one night I had an exhibition/practice match with the #1 ranked player. It was first to twenty kills wins and I beat him, 20 kills to his 19.

>>214335934 (OP)
Quake 2 would be a better movie

>>214335934 (OP)
Lovecraftian fantasy story where the character gets sucked into a world of dreams, never to return to the real world. No cgi, all hand-models and puppets.

>>214336610
Hot damn, that was always a great feeling, doing something like that. I miss that so much.

>>214335934 (OP)
they way i always thought quake was
i didn't knew it had an intro
i only found out about it a few years ago on /v/
i thought it is about a ranger guy jumping portals through some timeless forlorn decaying realm, remnant of some elder world near entropic end
pushing forward with no memory like there was never anything else for him

>>214336610
Zoomers will never know the glory of Quake 3 Arena.

>>214337960
zoomers only know matchmaking
they will never know gitgud

>>214335934 (OP)
Hotel Inferno 3 basically is a Quake movie

>>214337890

kino

Do it all Hardcore Henry style.

And mash together all of the Quake games. It's a quakeguy who gets teleported into a hell dimension, and then they're recruited to fight against the strogg, and then they have to fight in a tournament, and then they get strogg-ified.

skip quake and do unreal tournament
specifically 2003

>>214335934 (OP)
I'd rather have a biopic about id software falling apart during its development.

Regardless, whatever approach you take, you need Trent on the soundtrack.

>>214335934 (OP)
you wouldn't because that's stupid

>>214335934 (OP)
Depends on what they’re adapting, the first quake is more of a sci-fi/horror/fantasy game, plot is pretty sparse, but it’s essentially about a dimension populated by demons/monsters sending them through portals to earth.
The second games is more scifi, and about an alien race called the strogg, and you’re a space marine invading the planet.

>>214339559
if someone makes a video game thread on here it's probably because they got banned on /v/

>>214336610
Quake 3 had such ridiculously good movement, only second to the GoldSource/Source movement.

>>214336610
based, q3 was such amazing fun

>>214335934 (OP)
Hardcore Henry but with eldritch horrors and NIN

must have rocket jumps

>>214340732
i don't think they intended rocket jumping to be so powerful here, since in quake 3 you take much less damage for rocket jumping so it's incentivized.

>>214336124
>Never played quake
You wouldn't like them. It was made back when gamers were actually good and games were difficult so you'd be eaten alive even on easy mode.

>>214336124
Humanity invents slipgates, i.e teleporters. An eldritch entity called Quake starts sending through monsters to seize control of the installations, so Ranger goes through and brings the fight to the strange dimensions where the evil comes from. It's basically Half-Life if Gordon Freeman wasn't a nerd and actually did damage to the invaders.

Doesn't really matter anyway because it's just endless dimension hopping from place to place without any hope of coming home.

>>214341742
Half the people who played that game were 12 and did it with a keyboard at 12fps with no issue you corny nigger lol

>>214342620
This is the OG game that created the PC master race class and solidified the mouse/keyboard combo as the superior gaming interface.

Games in the late 90s and early 2000s were harder than games today because the community was smaller and there were NO casuals.

the game played just fine at 60FPS and one thing most modern gaymers don't comprehend is 60FPS at 90HZ on a CRT is crisper and smoother than 120FPS on a modern display. CRT's also were brighter and crisper.

The only reason "flat panel" took off is because it was cheaper to manufacture in asia and ship to the US and the corporations loved them because they were cheaper and great for text--and they didn't give a shit about gaming.

>>214341742
dude come the fuck on, you really think Quake is that hard? Most of my deaths come from failing rocket jumps.

Combination of Quake Wars and Quake 4 somehow or different movies

>>214336256
yes

NIN soundtrack, white guy shooting demons (minorities) and some tits. 2b EZ

>>214342817
giv me hunter pusi

>>214342721
Oh you're retarded my bad

>>214342740
It's alright man he found it hard because he's retarded

Trent has been garbage since downward spiral

>>214342740
Episode 4 without a mouse is going to fuck anyone up

>no arguments whatsoever
can always spot the CRTlets

>>214343362
If you think anything you said merits a response, the decades-old cathode-ray tubes have fried your brain even more than I thought. My zoomer little sister beat quake on a laptop touchpad and the hardest part for her was she was scared of the Ogres.

>>214343534
everything about CRT refresh rate etc. is demonstrative fact; there’s absolutely no reason to believe anecdotal crap about touchpads and imaginary sisters but it’s your precious internet to waste, chief.

>>214343712
>Thinks 90's CRT's are a better choice than modern high-end gaming monitors
>Thinks a child beating a mainstream video game played mostly by children in the 1990's is an elaborate fictional story

Wow, really? Good thing it's not 1998 anymore and everyone has a fucking mouse now.

fpbp
not afraid to get over the top, lots of practical effects crazy monsters and buckets of gore

As an oldfag gamedev I miss the late 90s so god damn much.
A game like Quake is so extremely simple and elegant. The "story" is basically just something someone pulled out of his ass, but nobody cares.
It's essentially just a cool tech demo with the simplest possible gameplay loop attached to it.
Made by just a small handful of friends sitting in a small office.
The last game I worked on had literally thousands of people in the credits.

>>214335934 (OP)
Hire NIN to do the soundtrack like the first game

man that's amazing
i was 13 at the time and i bought Q3A for dreamcast, i was playing with a pad, it was horrible but i loved it
when quakelive released i discovered strafe jumping, it's the comfiest feeling in the world

on topic: Q3A has 30 amazing characters, and i would FUGG a cute Crash

>>214335934 (OP)
I wouldn't because it's a bad idea.

>>214342954
I agree about his industrial rock stuff, but Ghosts, his series of ambient albums over the past two decades, has been solid. I believe he could still create suitable music for Quake.

What I realised about Trent as I grew older is that the guy can't fucking sing. The more you hear of his voice, the more irritating that defect becomes.

>>214336610
quad numbers

>>214336610
i won in Q3 small tournament on some con, 4th place, they gave me Diablo2, lol, wtf?

>>214346943

Reward competitor in repetitive online game with another repetitive online game. Makes sense to me.
