why

Because I am learning 3D Modeling and plan on getting into Game development. I believe with the right game, advertising, & audience. It is possible to get the Arena FPS genre, back in the limelight. So first I am going to try & make Quake Live as modern as possible, with Textures, models, effects, etc.

Then move on to making an actual game.

Arena FPS's only don't do well for 2 reasons:

1.) They don't have good graphics most of the time & in 2017 with free access to engines such as Unreal & even Unity, this isn't excusable.

2.) They're only released on PC, which is a poor decision because there is already access to so many that have had active communities, for several decades. Where consoles have barely any to none, and never have/had any new releases. While PC does have a bigger community, the money is more on consoles. If you want a game to do well release it on both console & PC.

Also I just love Quake Live & feel the better it looks the more people that will play it.

Remaster of remaster...

And changing the texture into the "HD one" (and i believe you only just added ♥♥♥♥♥♥ filters on photoshop) is not called remaster.

I didn't make those textures ... lol. If you watch farther in the video you see me doing actual 3D Modeling where I am adding actual cracks and creases into a model. That's how I will make textures. Not some lame photoshop rip. XD

Except for the fact that there is mods that look eons better than QL for Quake 3: Arena, yea sure remaster of a remaster. ;)

imho the only thing that let quake live die was removing matchmaking......it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ perfect......how could you id, how could you.........its not textures or whatever that let the people run away screaming, its the fact that you have a 50/50 chance of having a good match or being raped like you never was so if you ever get into game development, always check your game for having matchmaking like quake live had it in the good old days.....if it has none, than keep smashing keyboards on your teams heads until they add it! Good luck for your future and dont stop chasing your dreams.....but whatever you do DONT ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ FORGET ABOUT MATCHMAKING!!!!!!

Mods I remember/liked was q3 rally and jail brake... I am sure it was a users mod and not a developers mod They ripped/copied it and put it in RAGE. maybe q3 devs made q3 rally i am not 100% sure. (mario)

That's so true. Why remove the tier system, it made sure you know what you were in for when you joined servers.

That would probably be because id doesn't host the servers (nor any kind of infrastructure) anymore so players would be able to do whatever they want with the tiers and their skillrating.

Which sucks ass, somebody needs to make a script and a small graphic that shows the Tier of the players in the game as the stats can still be found on sites like QLtracker. That might be something I'll see about in Quake Live Remastered.
