I'm on the same page as you re: Eternal. The first hour out so was fun, and the graphics are neat, but it stops feeling like a Doom game pretty quickly. It doesn't even feel like a Quake game, which would at least be tolerable.
Will probably give this one a shot eventually when it's on discount, but not in a hurry.
God I miss Quake. That was such a great series. Can you imagine what they could do with that on modern tech? I’d love to see a quake reboot a la 2016 Doom. That would be fucking awesome.
Based on everything Ive seen.. theyd ruin Quake too
I agree. Unless they got very lucky I think the only way they could do Quake 5/2030/whatever is if they gave it the indie treatment, which as vassals of a giant publisher they are unable to do with an important IP.
I recently replayed Quake ii + expansions, too, and it's also its own joined of fun. Hunting for secrets never got old.
We can dream
