#QUAKE 3 ARENA NINTENDO SWITCH PRO#
Added a Sennheiser Ambeo soundbar (crazy expensive but amazing) with SVS SB-1000 Pro subwoofer to round out the new home theater experience, and I feel like. I just upgraded to an LG C1 OLED TV, and it's made me a believer. And that gorgeous Switch OLED screen to play them on. What I'm really waiting on though, is WarioWare, Cruis'n Blast, Monkey Ball and Metroid. And Monster Hunter Stories 2, and Neo The World Ends With You, and Zelda Skyward Sword. First AA game to really grab me like this. Bethesda is on it when it comes to modern motion control schemes.īeen playing Great Ace Attorney Chronicles and I'm totally addicted. I knew they'd offer Gyro seeing as Doom 1, Doom 2, Doom 64, Doom 2016, Doom Eternal, Wolfenstein 2, Wolfenstein Youngblood and Skyrim all offered Gyro. It is also renowned and still much-loved to this day for the way it revolutionised and introduced varied and fun multiplayer options, including support for the very early days of online play.
#QUAKE 3 ARENA NINTENDO SWITCH SOFTWARE#
If you don't know Quake well, it was a major release from ID Software in 1996 that followed on from the success of the original DOOM, in some respects providing another notable advance in the company's technology and design. A big anniversary and the presence of a studio renowned for its work on FPS games, it's subtle. For one thing, this year's online-only 'QuakeCon' kicks off at 11am Pacific / 2pm Eastern / 7pm UK / 8pm CEST with a show titled 'QuakeCon Digital Welcome + Celebrating 25 Years of Quake with id Software and MachineGames'. There are multiple reasons to believe that this may be pointing to some kind of celebratory re-release of the classic from 1996. An entry simply called Quake has appeared, pleasingly including the Switch as a platform. Just manage expectations is all.It seems that QuakeCon is having some reveals leaked ahead of time, with the latest seemingly emerging via an ESRB listing. It's still the low-pressure fun and worth your time if you're into gaming history. They're not there to add anything to gameplay or atmosphere but to create buzz and pander to the goth demographic of the 90's.ĭespite all that, I'd still recommend it for the sheer nostalgia value alone. Basically, Nine Inch Nails is the equivalent of the Ewoks from "Return of the Jedi". And, the environments have a deliberate try-hard-ness about them. It isn't bad by any means but it's there to show off the visual effects and 3D environments (much like Half Life 2, now that I think about it) rather than make an engaging experience. Doom (Empire Strikes Back) was a groundbreaking shift in graphics and gameplay which broke into the mainstream. W3D (Star Wars) was a new variation on a standard theme - even back then, WWII-themed games were almost cliche - which put FPS on the map. Wolfenstien 3D, Doom and Quake are kind of like the Star Wars Trilogy. If I'd caught it back then, though, I think I might have been disappointed. I guess after 26 years a lot's passed it by and it still holds some nostalgia for that era. All the more a letdown because of it's legendary status. To me, it's the "London Calling" of video games. Despite being a huge Doom fan, I only got around to this recently.
