30 years after it ruined id Software, Quake gets another big update while the studio once again grapples with adversity
The recent update for Quake has reignited discussions on id Software's legacy and its struggles over the decades. While the update introduces some nostalgic features, it feels somewhat lackluster compared to modern FPS standards. The studio's history of innovation is overshadowed by its current challenges, making it hard to celebrate this milestone fully. - Visual enhancements are welcome but don't significantly alter the core experience. - Multiplayer remains a mixed bag, with matchmaking issues still prevalent. Fans may appreciate the homage to the past, yet the question lingers: can id Software reclaim its former glory? Overall, this update feels like a step forward, but only a small one on a long, winding road. For more insights, check out PC Gamer. It’s a bittersweet reminder of what once was and what could have been.
