Oh don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Quake 1's single player well enough and the Stroggification scene in Quake 4 was neat. I just don't think there would be as much nostalgia for a theoretical Quake 5 single player because the single player in every Quake game is completely different from each other, unlike Doom which people do have a lot of nostalgia for the single player and people were down on Doom 3 for being completely different from the previous games. Whereas Doom 4 obviously had a lot of care put into the singleplayer but the multiplayer is kind of tacked on and not so great, I'd imagine Quake 5 would be the opposite where the multiplayer would be strong but the singleplayer, if it even has one, would be an afterthought.

I feel like the lack of nostalgia could work in a Quake reboot's favour. It seems to me that a Doom game has so many identities to live up to in a sequel/reboot. Quake does not have that problem, it's more synonymous with the gameplay aspects like strafejumping/rocketjumping, and it's mazy leveldesign, and of course the multiplayer. There's room to redefine Quake in a singleplayer setting without trampling over a legacy that people clamor to. Personally i liked the idea of lovecraftian horrors in Q1 and there are places to go with that. I'd be interested in a Q1-style game with enviromental storytelling and lore focus so the story doesn't force you out of the rhythm of the gameplay.

The original version of Doom 4 was basically a Hell on Earth scenario, but with Call of Duty mechanics and cinematic style instead. Assuming they still have the assets of the original build, I wouldn't mind an expansion or sequel that uses those assets but tweaked to fit the gameplay style of the final build.

On pistol start, it seems like you have just barely enough bullets to deal with the hordes as long as you don't miss many shots. It adds an additional layer of strategy to the map, making it very tense in parts. I'd say the maps after 22 are a bit easier again, though the Archvile abuse definitely gets pretty bad. Map 23 in particular has one area just before the end that killed me more than anything else in the wad.

I'm sure there's some vid on youtube of somebody aiming more competently than that.

Not even people playing with a controller at that bad. I think the person playing this has only one hand and it has arthritis. And also only has one eye so their depth perception is screwed. And never played a video game in their life before. That's the only way anyone could possibly be this terrible.

I noticed that, with effort, you can lower the invincibility platform before hitting any switches and then grab it after lowering the red skull. Even then I'm unable to get anywhere in that loving map. That part in map 23 is kind of annoying but you just need to get out of That Hallway before things get a little too hot.

No autoaim, just some slight tracking assistance to make circle-strafing smoother. Weapons always fire exactly where the crosshair is pointed, and there's no aim-down-sights lockon like in Call of Duty. The player in the video is just astoundingly bad - my first playthrough was on PS4, on Ultra-Violence, and while I died occasionally it was usually because I did something stupid like run backwards off a cliff or not realize there's a mancubus shooting at me. Nightmare mode is pretty brutal though and I might need to upgrade to PC to deal with that, but I must admit that I've gotten noticably better just playing a couple of levels on that difficulty. You'd be surprised how good you can get with a gamepad with a little practice.

I've been playing the game on PS4, and while it'll probably be better with a mouse + keyboard on PC, it controls fantastically with a gamepad. It's just that whoever did that gameplay video just has no concept of how moving and aiming at the same time works. Or how a gamepad works. Or what video games are.

I've casually thought about getting goon-filled multiplayer matches and forcing everyone involved to play with a controller. Alternatively: set up an imbalanced game (3-4 vs 1) where the larger team is playing with controllers and the single player is on mouse and keyboard. Of note that I haven't actually touched the multiplayer, so I don't know if that second option is possible.
