    Earlier today the schedule for Quakecon 2021 went up, with a surprising bit of spoiler-y news to be found if one clicked into the calendar event for Friday’s “Let’s talk Quake” event. John Linneman of Digital foundry will be talking with Jerk Gustaffson of Machine games about a “revitalized edition” of the game Quake. Which appears to be a co-production between iD and Machine Games.

    The page was quickly scrubbed of this information and visiting it now gives you only a “…” as the description of the event.

    Color me intrigued.

    tried back 4 blood vs mode. can't get into campaign mode right now because their matchmaking doesn't work.

    if you like L4D vs mode there's a good chance you'll like this. if you didn't, you probably aren't gonna like this either.

    in either case, there's a ton of frontloaded complexity they don't bother explaining to you, I guess because it's a beta, but also, we live in an era where being deliberately obtuse is considered a valid design choice so who knows.

    Ah ha hah. I just beat Hades with full health, with the absolute most bonkers broken build I have ever seen.
    welqydh22byn.png

    My Special fires five rockets, which all Deflect upon detonation. I got a splitter witch chamber in Elysium and it was just the most glorious ten seconds. It also deals +110% damage from a Chaos boon, on top of the +110% from Athena. If I hit an enemy at point-blank range, they just eat all five rockets at once.

    Any time I Deflect, I briefly gain a 20% critical hit chance.

    My primary attack inflicts Doom.

    If a Doomed enemy is struck by a Deflect effect, the Doom stacks immediately hit with 40 bonus damage.

    Both my attack and special are 20% faster, thanks to Hermes.

    I did have the evergreen acorn, but it still had a charge left, which means I only got hit four times in the entire thirty-second final battle.

    I don’t think this is a tale of family reconciliation anymore, I think I’m back at war with my dad and this time I deserve it.

    What a fantastic game this is.

  • ProhassProhass Registered User regular
    I’m playing on Xbox so definitely using a controller. It’s more just getting used to it since I was playing ascent right before

    Also my problem with these games is early on I can never tell if I’m bad or if I’m just too early in runs to make any headway. Like I know it’s a run game and you’re supposed to die, but until I get used to that fact it’s always triggering my “you’re losing play better” response

  • KamiroKamiro Registered User regular
    I feel like every Hades player goes through that. Early on, I had what I thought was the best build I would ever get and I died at the last boss, and I thought to myself, how am I ever going to beat this game. Many wins later, it's just a huge difference.
