I'm still infinitely disappointed in Bethesda/iD for this. First they put out Wolfenstein: The New Order, and it was fucking amazing. Then they came out with DOOM2016, and blew my goddamned balls off.
But Quake? Quake they just poop out an Arena DM game, instead of re-imagining the Lovecraftian future medieval space nightmare campaign that the original was. I want THAT. SO BADLY.
I agree that there's a super interesting game to be found in a re-imagined singleplayer, but unfortunately that's not what Quake fans want. They want a literal remake of Q3A but also make it better and introduce modern quality-of-life improvements but also leave everything exactly the same as I remember, and it has to have 2 million players online at all times or else it's a dead game and not worth playing.
Yeah, that all is what Quake Live is for. It's fantastic. DOOM fans also wanted the DOOM2016 DM to not suck if we're going to go with making what the fans wanted. If what I'm seeing of Champions was the DM component of a larger game that also included a Q1-style campaign handled as well as DOOM's, that would pretty much be instant GOTY.
