1UP - Quake may be the most influential game of all time. Not the best game, not the most innovative, but the most influential. Without it, the industry would be a very different place today. It gave rise to many of aspects of modern gaming that we take for granted. Its developers, modders, and even the very code of the game itself are ubiquitous in the industry today.
Have you ever looked at a modern first-person shooter and wondered "How did we get here?" Wealth of Geeks performs a deep dive into the genre, including some of the most influential games, from the very first FPS from the cross-genre experiences that changed the game entirely.
Call of Duty owes everything to Quake, an iconic FPS game that is heavily discounted for PS5 players right now on the PlayStation Store.
I bought both. I love the graphics. Slightly remastered without losing its og look.
Rebooting seems to be all the rage these days, so here's Chit Hot's picks for seven game series that need a reboot.
Dino Crisis and Legacy of Cain I can get behind. The others, meh. I would also love to see a Remake of Resident Evil: Outbreak, Legend of Dragoon, and Jade Empire.
I absolutely love Banjo Kazooie but holy crap is a Dino Crisis remaster such a massive opportunity for Capcom.
The engine they have used for the RE Remakes is perfect and it would be so cool to see the first two games remade.
Mercenaries, True Crime, Dead to Rights, Max Payne, Manhunt, Duke Nukem, Prince of Persia, Burnout, Matrix, Outrun, Jet Set Radio, Otogi, Kenka Banco, Syphon Filter, Power stone, San Francisco Rush, and despite not being a series, BLACK
The Saints Row reboot needs a reboot. Saints Row 2 holds up quite well, but the original needs a remake at least. Keep everything exactly the same, just with better graphics.
Quake 2 is one the best shooter games on PC, of all time.
Carmac made the engine. It even uses a primitive form of ray tracing, WAY ahead of its time. Then we got doom3 and every COD game running on it even to this very day. take ID's new engine for r=Rage is only getting started, wait into Doom4 and a ton of other games tweak it.

Yeah Doom 3 was on id tech 4. CoD is on id tech 3.
I played a lot of insta-gib rail rounds on Quake 3 yesterday, game is still beyond amazing after all these years.
I think RAGE was more of a testing grounds, just wait until other games are made on it. Doom 4 and Quake V among others...
Quake 1! The best shooter all time!
So the Doom3 engine is even better then the cod one?
