It's been early access all these years? I'm confused haha.
Apparently it is coming to Xbox as well.
I wonder if Microsoft will port to playstation and add crossplay too, like they did with the quake remaster.

Not since a long while. Also the OP literally shows a link to Steam lol.

LOL you go to the steam link and it tells you, that you need that AIDS of a login to Bethesda shit.

I just tried it and managed to play a match without doing any of that. Launched the game, it asked me for a nick name (no account creation) and that was it.
I played DOOM Eternal previously on this same machine and Steam account so who knows, maybe everything was already linked between Steam and Bethesda and that's why it was so seamless for me.

Yeah it doesn’t require but some games on Steam still require external launchers.

I can't believe it's finally out of EA. There was a point where I played this a GREAT deal. I had a good amount of fun with it for awhile.
Though I never really agreed with the "Champion" thing in a Quake game, it was still pretty fun. I just think the saddest part is that there was still so much potential. Should've been more characters, more maps, more modes, etc. But for whatever reason, they called it when they called it. No idea why.
It was also marketed EXTREMELY poorly, it was in EA for the LONGEST time, and SO many people didn't even know it existed. Strange stuff all around honestly.
Yeah, it's sad. Saber's contract with it was fulfilled, so they moved on, which is standard. The thing that bummed me out is that id DID still work on it, however it's straight up like 3-5 people. So the updates were EXTREMELY minimal.

Did you make it to dinner, though?
Ye the whole *champion* thing always felt off but they wanted to promote quake as their esport and had to find the way to allow new players in. OG quakers were just too good at item control and had been playing some maps (cough q3dm6) for 20 years.

Right? Yeah, true. Exactly, haha. I remember they did say at one point that you could disable abilities to make it play like classic Quake. But I'm not even sure they got that far?
I was genuinely surprised they didn't just take all popular Quake maps and add them in. I mean, make it a game that celebrates Quake. Add all the big Q1, Q2, and Q3 maps. They eventually did that for Quake's anniversary. But I don't understand why such an easy get didn't happen sooner. I mean, now Q2DM1? Come on man. :\

Old news then if it still says it requires it as it doesn't (ever since it hit Steam it didn't)

And they still beat out Star Citizen with release code.
Well they kept the champions but at least reverted the duel format to no rounds and with time limit

Yeah, very true. I just remember being VERY excited about the whole being able to disable abilities thing. But I grew to accept them just fine.

It’s been in EA this entire time?
Damn, it’s like a thirty something moocher finally getting kicked out of their parent’s basement.
Microsoft’s like, get the fuck out already!

Thanks for trying it out, was it easy to get a game? Was it fun?

I hate the fact Q3A was removed from the browser and added to steam instead for $10.
Only for the starting weapon iirc (weak machinegun or weak shotgun I think). Then one has to pick up proper weapons on the map like a big boy.

Sure, I clicked "quick play", picked the modes I wanted to try (dm and tdm out of like 8 or so) and waited for like 20 seconds.
It was kinda fun but the weapon feedback sidn't feel too "meaty". Gotta play some more tho, aside from that it was fun.
I would recommend Diabotical on Epic store, it's free and a blast with friends. Plays VERY similar to old school quake 3. The playerbase in general is almost dead, but awesome with a group of friends.
Diabotical feels aweful to play and damn these models/hibox. Reflex was actually a way better try to revive the quake scene but the vq3 players disliked aircontrol too much
Quakelive is still king and actually has players.
I waited for over a minute and I couldn't find a match. It just gave me a connection error... oh well. I played it with bots, and had enough of the weird characters with different skills, they really didn't need to shoehorn that shit into Quake.
They really should have worked on putting this on Xbox and maybe that would have brought a different kind of community to it, ANY community at all.

No its not. The abilities are barely useful. You can rekt people without even using them. Abilities aren't gonna save you from someone with better aim.

Ya Quake Champions is a different take on the traditional game. Alot of games i played in the champion ability were disabled so it was no hero abilities just straight fragging

:^)--?-<
Its been a while since I read the word "fragged" - ahh good times.
And that's a quite inoffensive one. Dunno how long one would last after typing "spawnrape" in a QPL stream chat
Different times for sure !

Didn't Microsoft scrap that shit? They even let you transfer your games.

Between Bethesda and (SOON) Blizzard and Sierra it's hard to believe that Game Pass will pretty much have about 75% of my favorite games of all time.
