Talk:Quake 5

Going to point out some stuff since I can't edit the article:


 * It's rife with speculation. Granted, the entire article is based on speculation, but it goes beyond with phrases like "All in all, it appears that Carmack is thinking about the possibility of bringing the original Quake into the 21st Century."


 * It uses flavor speech such as "and being nothing like modern FPS games such as Killzone, Crysis and Call of Duty. It seems he wants a game just like Quake to compete with those modern games just like it was in 1996." and "But after years of hearing nothing, this at least gives Quake fans a bit of hope that perhaps in the future (albeit not the near future), they will be playing a new Quake game that, if Carmack's ideas are anything to go by, could very well be the best Quake since Quake." (especially here, since "best Quake since Quake" is not only poor grammar, but highly subjective in describing the original as the best).


 * It's outdated - Carmack is no longer with id, Rage 2 is dead, "Doom 4" has been released as "Doom," and it doesn't take into account the existence of Quake Live and Quake Champions, its history of past releases ending at Quake Wars.


 * New info from Willits, speaking as to the possibility of a singleplayer Quake and whatnot.--Hawki (talk) 09:30, June 29, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we've been thinking about retiring this page, especially in light of the already announced Quake Champions. This page used to be a huge (and very messy) pile of fan theories and speculation, until at one point it became way too ugly to tolerate and was thus reduced to what you see now. And this is why editing is not allowed - as a safety measure. It makes sense to focus our efforts on the Champions page (I keep calling it "Quake Legends" for some reason, still trying to get used to this name), while this one would be either deleted or archived in some way (for the sake of the "good ol' times"). -- Vorknkx (talk) 10:13, June 29, 2016 (UTC)
