During MachineGames recent reddit AMA, a fan asked if the team would be interested in making a Quake game. Jerk Gustafsson, one of MachineGames' gameplay and design leads, had this to say.
Now this isn't the first time someone at MachineGames has name dropped Quake 1. Three years ago, MachineGames released their own episode of Quake 1 to celebrate the game's 20th anniversary.
Presumably after Wolfenstein III comes out, MachineGames will be done with the franchise. Perhaps they'll take a stab at a proper Quake 1 style singleplayer game afterwards? Time will tell but personally I'd very much like to see a AAA Lovecraftian horror shooter with today's advancements in visual and graphic design. Imagine if the even got Trent Reznor back to do the soundtrack. What are your thoughts?
Quake is the reason I got into gaming. Discovering WorldCraft and Level Design, making maps for Quake, was one of the best experiences of my life - I even still do it today. Developing a Quake game (a re-imagination of Quake 1) is and will always be on my bucket list, but working with Wolfenstein and getting to work closely with my heroes over at id Software is pretty awesome too.
