Quake Champions is encouraging. Impressions from QuakeCon. Don't forget to order Quake Champions - Scalebearer Edition! Champion Balance Changes

Just a year ago, we rejoiced wildly when id Software described their future in very correct words. doom. Guns, gore, rhythm - exactly what was expected from that game, and it was very nice to realize that the developers understand this.

Now, at QuakeCon 2016, they talk about the new part Quake, subtitled Champions. And again, the very words that are expected of them.

Key word: speed

As wild as the relaunched Doom was, it was still accused from time to time of the "doom-marine" running slower. It is clear why the pace has slowed down - in early Doom and Quake it would have been fundamentally impossible to aim with a gamepad, and the new game has nevertheless adapted to all current platforms.

But Quake Champions will be exclusive to PC. And the very first word that sounded at the presentation was “speed”. Watch the gameplay video. Compare the novelty with any shooter with console roots. Yes, that's the pace Quake 2 and 3 were played at. And that's the pace Quake Champions will be played at.

This is the most classic arena multiplayer shooter. With weapons appearing on the map strictly according to the timing. With a complex and intricate level structure, where the advantage is the one who has studied all the corners and outlined all the routes in advance. With rocketjumps, finally - a jump on a rocket explosion here throws up a good seven floors. And there is jumping, and strafjumping. Almost all of the advanced movement techniques you learned fifteen years ago should be used in Quake Champions.

id, as the developers say, has many projects, but few people, so the main work on Champions is done in New York-Petersburg Saber Interactive. But this does not mean that the development was given to them at the mercy of the whole.

Now there are heroes here too

The main innovation regarding Quake 3 ( Quake 4 and Enemy Territory we don’t take it into account, they are good, but too ... different) that heroes and skills appeared. The division into classes here is not as rigid as in Overwatch, where each has one gun and a bunch of skills. In Champions, you use any weapon that you can find on the map, just in addition, each hero has a nice bonus that can help in battle and partly change the style of combat.

The heroes themselves are familiar to us, it's just that in Quake 3: Arena they were strictly decorative images, but here they gained their abilities. For example, Visor can from time to time highlight the silhouettes of enemies through walls, and Nyx (we assume that a relative of Mynx from the third part) becomes invisible and invulnerable for a few seconds, hiding from enemy fire.

In total, a dozen heroes are expected at the start. Then there will be more of them, although here, of course, there is a difficulty in maintaining a balance.

Ranger teleports short distances (remember the translocator from Unreal Tournament), the Scale Bearer accelerates and blows everyone in its path, tearing to shreds (like a bull in a bullfight or, if you like, the Juggernaut from the X-Men). The lizardman Skorlagg is slightly more survivable than the others, and can spit acid, leaving puddle traps. Familiar from the third part of Anarky is accelerating, newcomer Galina places strengthening or slowing down totems, and so on.

At the same time, many skills operate on the principle of "rock-paper-scissors". If the overclocked Scalebearer runs to Minx, and she suddenly disincarnates, he will simply run through and get shot in the back. But against Vaysor, the trick is useless: if he enlightens the surroundings, he will see the invisible. Skills are recharged in thirty to forty seconds, depending on the character, and the only way this is to speed up - collect bonuses in the form of an hourglass on the map.

Cannons - you've already seen them

Development lead Tim Willits specifically draws our attention to the fact that abilities are like another set of guns that you can experiment with. All heroes are geared towards combat - no "tanks" or healers.

As for weapons, here we get a wild combination of the arsenals of the first and third Quake. For the most part, however, this is a proven set of Q3: assault rifle, shotgun, lightning gun, railgun, glove with circular saws, rocket launcher. From the first part, only a nail gun was taken: it is more powerful than a machine gun, but the bullets do not reach the target instantly, you need to calculate the lead.

What fate befell the grenade launcher, plasma gun and, most importantly, the BFG, is not known. Or rather, the developers, of course, know, but do not say yet.

* * *

How Quake Champions will be distributed (for a fee? for free? with a subscription?) is not mentioned at id. They don't know yet. The game is definitely due out next year, and the developers are confident that they will be able to shake up the online competitive shooter genre. Things like lawbreakers suspiciously cheerfully striving for the same niche, but still, it was with Quake that esports began at one time.

And it would be time for the veteran to return to it.

In an inconvenient for most Russians, the presentation of Bethesda began. From 5 am on June 13, an amazing number of games were shown, some of which flashed in the press in quality. A squeeze of announcements and trailers for those who overslept everything.

Quake Champions

The seed turned out for those who love to combine nostalgia and new game techniques. Announced multiplayer shooter Quake Champions, exclusively for PC.

Developers from id Software announced from the stage that the project will be directed towards e-sports and they will launch several tournaments at lightning speed at the same time as the release. The debut trailer looks really good. The game itself promises a lot of classes, maps and weapons. We will get more data in August at QuakeCon.

The Elder Scrolls: Legends

Curtsy to Hearthstone - The Elder Scrolls: Legends. Online card game in your favorite universe for PC and mobile platforms. In the same block, it is stated that Fallout: Shelter will come to PC.

Updated The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Something that everyone was guessing about. Remastered The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for current consoles and PC. On October 28, everyone will receive a game with a pack of all DLCs, an improved picture and mod support. Steam users who have previously purchased it and add-ons will receive new version is free.

A little later, they talked about the new addition The Elder Scrolls Online entitled " The Dark Brotherhood". In addition, the BethesdaVR program was announced from the stage, within which and for virtual reality glasses will appear.

Prey

A few more new games followed: a spectacular relaunch of the long-term action game Prey. The project is in no way related to what we were shown before, and is being created by the creators of Dishonored - Arkane Studios.

The protagonist participates in an experiment to improve a person, but gets into trouble with aliens, eventually becoming a target for hunting by people and aliens. The sci-fi thriller will premiere in 2017 for PC. Xbox One and PS4. And Fallout 4 will get three minimalistic additions: Vault-Tec, Nuka-World and Contraptions. In one of them they will let you build shelters!

Dishonored 2

The largest block of the exhibition was assigned to the sequel Dishonored: it is understandable, because the game already looks phenomenal and cool. So the new city is called Cornaco, storyline can be completed in two ways: playing as Corvo Attano or as Emily Kaldwin.

The gameplay trailer blows the tower: the atmosphere of the original in a pleasant combination with fresh architecture and an original story. Emily has a bunch of powerful abilities, like hypnosis on people and dogs or mass techniques for a large number of opponents.

They promise well-developed chips from Corvo, as well as a skill development tree that can be managed in a more variable manner.

The release is scheduled for November 11 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One. At the same time, a collector's edition with a canonical mask will appear on sale.

"Disgusting Men" is leading from E3 2016, which is now in full swing. Our conference report

The history of Prey began 19 years ago. The announcement of the game took place in 1995, and two years later the game was shown at the E3 exhibition. The bold ideas of the developers excited the minds of the players, but it turned out to be expensive and difficult to realize the promise. The concept changed, work on the project was suspended several times until Human Head Studios and 3D Realms Entertainment got down to business. The game reached the shelves only in the summer of 2006, and soon the second part was announced. The history of Prey 2 was almost as complicated. The game has been in development since 2009, and the first footage was shown at E3 2011. It seemed that this time Prey will get to the release on time. Then the project came close to alpha testing and all the main content was already ready, but Bethesda Softworks was not satisfied with much. "The game did not meet our quality standards and we have made the decision to cancel it," Bethesda said.

Watch

The project was suspended, but, with the support of the developers of Dishonored - Arkane Studios, they decided to bring the game to mind. The developers completely revised the concept of Prey 2 and abandoned the id Tech 4 game engine in favor of CryEngine 4. The second part has nothing to do with the original, except for the name. Spatial portals from original game in Prey 2 are simply absent. The developers once again abandoned multiplayer, focusing only on the story campaign.

The first gameplay video of Prey 2 was shown to journalists the day before the start of QuakeCon 2016. In a two-minute video main character Morgan Yu describes the mysterious events happening to him on the Talos I space station, which is in orbit around the moon. Players will have to fight phantoms that can blend in with their surroundings. The developers promise non-linear levels that can be explored different ways, and complete role system. As gamers note, Prey 2 is reminiscent of System Shock and Half-Life, the series of games that have always inspired Arkane, also made Bioshock and Dishonored. The release of the game is scheduled for March 2017.

New presentation of Dishonored 2

The presentation of Dishonored 2 took place behind closed doors, any video recording was prohibited, but, according to journalists, it was the most memorable moment of the festival. At QuakeCon 2016, the same mission was presented as at E3 2016. At that time, the passage for the character Emily Kaldwin was shown, but, as you know, levels in Dishonored 2 can be skipped in several ways, depending on the style of play. There will be a choice of character, but the chosen hero will have to go through the game from start to finish. Emily is a lighter and more agile character, but Corvo is a real "brutal".

Watch

This time, the developers showed the ability of Corvo. Some of them are already familiar to us from the first part, but they work in Dishonored 2 a little differently. When choosing the ability "Transfer" (Blink), Corvo is now able to not only move, but also immediately attack the enemy. Bend Time allows you to slow down time. The Possession ability will help you quickly leave the battlefield, turning into a wasp. Other novelties will allow you to scatter the surrounding enemies (Windblast) and unleash swarms of rats on the enemy (Devouring Swarm).

Corvo was shown how to complete the level in an aggressive style, but players can also choose to stealthily pass. In addition, it will be possible to complete tasks in completely different ways. At the end of the presentation, Corvo had two goals to choose from: destroy Viceroy Byrne or Paolo. At E3 2016, Emily chose the first scenario, while at QuakeCon 2016, Corvo hunted for Paolo. It is possible that, despite the closeness of the presentation, a new recording of the gameplay will soon be on the Web. Dishonored 2 will release on November 11, 2016 for PC, PS4 and Xbox One.

Gameplay trailer and first details of Quake Champions

A lot of attention at QuakeCon 2016 was paid to the new part of Quake. Not everyone will remember now that esports appeared as a phenomenon after the first Quake tournaments in the 90s. In recent years, Quake has fallen into disrepair, and with the rise of MOBAs, dueling shooters have become a bit lost. With the release of Quake Champions, everything can change. id Software has already stated that they are ready to hold championships and invest heavily in popularizing the game. With the right combination of circumstances, Quake Champions is quite capable of attracting the interest of young players as well.

In Quake Champions, we again have to make quick decisions, constantly move and shoot accurately in order to survive. But there will be no pure old school: the developers had to make some compromises. Character classes will appear in the new game. Each character will have their own unique skills and abilities. Ranger, better known as QuakeGuy from the original Quake, can throw a teleporter that allows you to escape from a dangerous situation. Introduced in Quake III Arena, the character Visor will be able to see through walls. Nyx is endowed with the Ghost Walk skill, upon activation of which the character becomes invisible for a while. Another newcomer, Scale Bearer, is endowed with the Bull Rush skill, which will instantly reduce the distance to the target. Anarki, another familiar character from Quake III Arena, will be able to move around the map a little faster than other heroes.

Watch

It remains to be seen if Quake will follow the path of Overwatch. Class skills and abilities, according to id, only affect the style of the game (although there will be even more of them in the future). Otherwise, all heroes will pick up the same weapon scattered around the map. In the video, you can see cannons recognizable from other parts. After the introduction of "loadouts" in DOOM 4, there were concerns that there would be a similar feature in the new Quake. But here the developers remained true to the old principles.

It is already known that the starting weapons in Quake Champions, as well as in Quake III Arena, will be Machine Gun and Buzz Saw Gauntlet (machine gun and glove with a saw). In addition, the following barrels have been confirmed - Shotgun, Nail Gun, Rocket Launcher, Lightning Gun and Rail Gun. The gameplay video also showed a few seconds of jumping - the familiar strafejump and the circlejump from QuakeWorld. Rocketjumps (jumping with rockets) showed even more.

Compact levels, dynamic gameplay, modern graphics and recognizable from other parts game process. What else is needed for happiness? Probably only one thing - that the developers take into account their previous mistakes and continue to support Quake Champions after the release of the game. One QuakeCon is clearly not enough to popularize games from id Software. We need intrusive advertising, tournaments and constant work with the community.

First DOOM 4 DLC - Unto the Evil

The first paid expansion for DOOM 4 was released at QuakeCon 2016 - Unto the Evil. This add-on is for network game. Players received three cards for multiplayer battles - "Ritual", "Cataclysm" and "Offering", one new demon to play as, a new weapon - an EMG pistol with an alternative type of shooting in the form of powerful accumulated charges, armor sets, hacking modules and ridicule. The add-on is already available for 499 rubles.

Watch

id Software revealingly continues to support DOOM multiplayer, while not promoting the game in eSports. Apparently, if the developers do not announce eSports support for the game separately, as in the case of Quake Champions, then it is not worth waiting for. Even at QuakeCon there was no DOOM tournament - more proven disciplines were chosen for the competition.

QuakeCon remains the only major tournament where Quake is still featured. The strongest players on the planet every summer put aside all their business to come to the USA and play at the oldest championship. Despite the absence of Anton "Cooller" Singov and Alexei "Cypher" Yanushevsky, who could have graced the championship with their presence, our fans had someone to worry about. Sergey "Evil" Orekhov seriously claimed a high place and was the main rival of the four-time QuakeCon champion - Shane "rapha" Hendrickson. The American had a great chance to become the most titled player in the history of the tournament; his age-old opponent Cypher, who won QuakeCon four times, was absent this time.

Like all the favorites, Evil easily made it to the playoffs, where he passed two Australians - the legendary python and Fraze, but in the finals of the winners he could not oppose Rafa. The American's style of play is geared towards constant pressure, which the Russian player could not handle. Evil made several hurtful mistakes and lost outright on three cards. After the defeat, the Russian player did not lose heart and in the very next match did not leave a stone unturned from k1llsen, who defeated Spart1e in the losers semi-finals, and outplayed the three-time world champion Zero4 in the first losers final (albeit more than a decade ago). There is one more chance to get even with the offender and take revenge for the defeat in the Grand Finals of QuakeCon 2015.

Watch

The decisive match of the championship was scheduled for six in the morning Moscow time, and those who got up early for the sake of the final were not upset at all: the duel turned out to be a feast for the eyes. If in the finals of the winners Evil could not break through the "viscous" game of the American, then in the grand finals Rafa became bolder and more often made mistakes in attacks. The second map was indicative, where nine overtimes were played. Unfortunately, the Russian player lost 2:3, but made a lasting impression. And who knows how the grand final would have ended if American player did not have an enviable head start in the form of one card.

For first place, rapha received $12,000 and the title of a five-time QuakeCon champion. Evil after losing the finals in 2013 and 2015 again became the second, k1llsen - the third, and Zero4 - the fourth. At the next QuakeCon, the central tournament will most likely be Quake Champions. The current favorites will have to prove their worth from scratch.

QuakeWorld: 19 years later

In addition to the Quake Live duel, QuakeCon hosted a 2x2 QuakeWorld tournament. It's hard to believe, but in fact it was only the second QW tournament in the history of the festival since 1997. Prior to this, QW was introduced at QuakeCon 2007, when a special tournament was held for all parts of Quake at the same time. The competition could not be called amateur: a lot of eminent players showed up in Dallas, many of whom had not seen each other for years. First place was awarded $12,000, a sum unheard of in the ancient discipline. The whole pedestal was occupied by the Scandinavians: the Swedes - carapace/LocKtar and bps/Locust took silver and bronze, and the Scandinavian mix Ragnarok won. Finn Milton and Norwegian Rikoll, the strongest in QuakeWorld in recent years, played for him, which directly affected the results of games - even in playoff matches, victories were often devastating.

Watch

Although this year's QuakeCon fell at the time of The International 2016 (not to mention the Summer Olympics), the festival received its portion of attention as gaming industry as well as in esports. QuakeCon remains a treat for fans of Quake, as well as any other id Software and Bethesda games. Behind twenty festivals - we hope there are at least as many more ahead.

October 11, 2018

Placement date

Update date

Greetings to all champions!

According to our calculations, the update of the game will last from 14:00 to 21:00 Moscow time.

Key points:

New Mode: WORMHOLE

Wormhole is a mode in which two teams fight for one wormhole portal - a huge black hole that can expel an ancient unknown horror from itself. All players enter the game with a full arsenal, health and armor, but with only one life - that is, without the possibility of respawning. The cultists of the Old God who protect the portal are trying to open the Wormhole, and the attacking team must close the gate before any tentacled fearman crawls out of it.

TIME-LIMITED EVENT: WORMHOLE CALLING

FROM 11 to 31 October all players who take part in the event from the very first day will receive coloring "Tentacles" for all starting weapons ( machine gun, shotgun and nail gun)! After other conditions are met, all participants in the event will receive a skin for a heavy machine gun Destroyer, unique Scalebearer skin, and at the very end - a new champion Athena or - if you have already unlocked it as part of a set of champions or simply purchased - its unique appearance.

Details of the Wormhole Calling event.

NEW CHAMPION: ATHENA

Athena was one of the first to join the SOZ to take revenge on the Strogg who invaded Earth. The expeditionary force in which she fought fell into a trap, and she managed to escape only after the destruction of the Wormhole generator. Her escape pod was thrown into the arenas of the Dream World. Now she uses her hook and performs marvels of aerial acrobatics to achieve air supremacy and attacks enemies from the sky.

Basic Features:

• Health: 125/100
• Armor: 0/50
• Speed: 320

Active Skill - Hook: Athena launches a hook at the target location and instantly teleports to that location. In flight, Athena is able to stop and turn, allowing her to perform dizzying maneuvers.

Before the Bethesda conference, there were active rumors that the company will present Quake 5 at E3 2016. The sources of these rumors were not mistaken - the studio ID Software really working on new part Quake, the debut trailer for the new shooter that opened the Bethesda show.

The new game has been named Quake Champions. The person who wrote the code for the original game came on stage and talked about the continuation of the multiplayer arena. According to him, the main element of Quake has always been the speed of movement and the rapid dynamics of what is happening. new game promised to do true to the roots of the series, including maintaining the incredible dynamics and speed.

Quake Champions will challenge the most notorious esports players, but will also be of interest to ordinary players. According to an id Software representative, at the time of the conference they will limit themselves to only showing the debut video, but over the next few months they will share all the details of the new project.

Among the platforms on which the game will appear, only personal computers were mentioned. According to the site, at the conference, the developers did not announce a version for consoles, but noted that they remain devoted to the PC even 20 years after the release of the very first part of Quake.
