Always a possibility if it's on another studio. But, I don't see id juggling two projects at the same time, or Machine Games. I feel like they'll just show more footage at Quakecon. I'd love to be wrong though.
I see Doom. Where is Quake?

Live from NeoGAF, it's Friday Night!
With Dimension of the Past and Dimension of the Machine as well as Call of the Machine, Machine Games already showed they are very well capable of creating entertaining and cohesive expansions that fit right in with the first two games. I could see them establishing a new iteration of Quake that will please fans of the original. It's such a logical step to take that i'm just waiting for the announcement at this point.

I just wish they'd make something new that continues the Quake 1, PS1 Doom, Doom 64 style hellish horror atmosphere. I seem to be one of twelve people out there who doesn't find the middle school "Metal and memes fukk yeee lol so stupid" approach of Nu Doom terribly appealing.

Despite Quake 4 the series seems like it got pigeonholed as a MP property ever since 3.
Like a lot of people I really would like them to go back to the original and work from that. The slipgates, multiple settings, vague story and questionable mashups allow for a lot of potential for the devs to play around with.
Unfortunately id is fully entrenched in Doom and I'm not sure I'd want another developer taking a crack at before them.

What if Doom's ending leads into Quake?

And then the secret ending leads into Hexen.

Not a bad game, but the whole section of "boomer shooters" on steam next fest reminded me why indie stuff just can't replace the real thing we used to get. I tried most of them and I can't say I'd honestly want to play any of that longer than a few minutes.
There are nice ideas, some nice mechanic here and there, but overall - a huge unimpressive/unoriginal mass of games playing on nostalgia only way too hard.
I know their budgets are very limited and especially manpower, but let's not pretend they can replace the real thing. It's a whole different world compared to the impact REAL fps legends had.
And that whole "One guy can make a game in 2024" is starting to piss me off, really.

What games you tried exactly though.

Most that I found even remotely interesting. It's a personal thing, of course. Just my opinion. They don't do anything for me and I KNOW a proper Quake game would do a lot.
Even when there is something really cool and well made, it holds me for a few minutes only. The aesthetics and game design feel forced and even dishonest sometimes, like they're trying to sell you something and assume that you're stupid.

I mean, if you're just scrolling through the page of the fest its obvious you ain't finding anything interesting. Its like typing "novels" on amazon and hope you'll find something you'd read.

There are a lot of stunning indie or indie-adjacent boomer shooters. I'm amazed by the quality of Selaco, Mullet Mad Jack, Boltgun, DUSK, etc.
I don't think they FEEL the same as the old games for the reasons I posted above about what made Q1 so Q1-ish, which are mostly a "you can't go back" problem.
> They don't do anything for me and I KNOW a proper Quake game would do a lot.
This is the part that I suspect isn't true, at least for me. A new Quake game wouldn't have the vibe of the old one bc it wouldn't have been made in 1996 in a world that is now gone. Doom 2016 and Eternal are great games, but they don't feel like old DOOM either.

I enjoyed Q4, don't see why expanding it out would be any different, its basically Starship Troopers with Helldiver automatons

I'd say it's the other way around. Since the last Wolfenstein game (Youngblood) we got Quake 1 Remastered AND Quake 2 Remastered (even with some new content).

Hopefully after a Quake 4 remaster including the cancelled expansion.

You'd think the immense popularity of the modern DOOM games would revive the other iconic boomer shooter classics. It's a shame that Quake hasn't followed suit and had it's own remake or reboot.
