ZeniMax files trademark for QUAKE

Shouldn't that be

iu
 
Looking at other trademarks made by ZeniMax on the same site it looks like a nothingburger. They did multiple Quake-related trademarks between 2024 and 2025, alongside filling trademarks for multiple other games like Wolfenstein and Dishonored. It looks like this current one is just trademark in one category that was previously missing, probably due to omission

Get Reznor back or get the fuck out Zenimax.

Open up that MS piggy bank and produce an amazing soundscape.
Depends on what they're going for. Quake 1's soundtrack is more of a mixture of horror ambience with hints of electronic music.



Quake 2 is when they went down the metal music route.



Then Quake 3 combined both sounds into a sort of Euro EDM/Rock mix




Honestly I kind of prefer Quake having it's own musical identity apart from Doom. The last two tracks are an example of what I think of more when I think of Quake, but maybe that's because I played Quake 3 so much that it just fits.
 
Make it F2P people hate paying money for a game.

Pvp or gtfo

and please add battlepasses for awesome skins

I hope they don't try to make it just Doom. And I especially hope they stay far away from that abysmal Dark Ages crap. One of the worst shooters I've ever played.
 
While it sounds good and i played the original and Quake 2 a lot, lets see what this turns out to be, Zenimax is Bethesda as well after all, hopefully it will be good.
 
I swear, this better be a reboot with the dark fantasy vibes of Quake 1.

Quake 2 was fantastic, but I preferred the eldritch horror of the original.
 
keep that hugo guy away from it, or he'll run it to the ground like doom
I mean the dude also helped bring Doom back, before hurting it again.

Next one they make they gotta throw away the desire to make the game accessible to everyone in the trash, along with the dude who said let's neuter the glory kills.
 
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO


(but i prefer the Quake Cthulhu)



I think i said it on the 9070xt topic. Bought the card to play some RT games, ended up playing all episodes of Quake 1 in Path Tracing. Plus some levels of Q2

It's impressive how old ID games holds up so well after 30 years.

I was just playing Q3A with my kids over the weekend. My excitement is tempered by knowledge that any new quake will need to be tailored to "modern audiences" who can't climb a wall unless an arrow is painted on it.
 
I love Quake and Q3A, not so much Quake 2 and definitely not Quake 4. Also really didn't care for the Doom reboots so it's hard to be excited.
 
Serious question time:

How do you even make a new Quake?

Is it Quake 1 which had basically no story, ambient music, and horror, with spongey enemies, and tons of movement where you can beat the game in a very short period of time since purists will hate it otherwise?

Is it Quake 2 which was Strogg and heavy metal, with slower movement?

Is it something like Doom 2016?
What are the weapons? Quake 1? Quake 2?

Is it a combination of Quake 1 and Quake 2, both with enemies and weapons?
Is it like Quake 4?

Does it have grenade and rocket jump?
Does it have a nail guns or machine guns?

It has to have a robust single player with mod support right?
It has to have custom personal servers right?

Does it have both Strogg and Shamblers, Vores, Ogre's and fiends?

I really liked Quake 1 and Quake 2. I wouldn't be able to decide. I can absolutely say I don't want it to be a graphical uplift of those, because I'd beat it in a weekend and unless it has custom maps and custom servers and map tools then I'd play it a few times and probably never touch it again. It has to be different somehow, but HOW?

What do you guys think?

I think "fuck the Strogg and give me a sequel to Quake 1".

A reboot like the one DOOM had in 2016 would be perfect imo. Game doesn't need a story, just good gameplay and a gothic/cosmic horror atmosphere to go along with it.

Give me a full Quake reboot in the style of Doom 3's horror FPS. Eldritch horrors plus the best tech id can conjure to give me nightmares.

I'm good with either but I'd prefer Q1 also.

But I need at least 20 hours of actual gameplay.

I also NEED player-run custom servers and map tools at launch and both PVP and coop, CTF, basically everything that Quake was known for both at and post-release.

Half my enjoyment of Q1 was the game itself. The other half or maybe more was the multiplayer and mods.

Him and Ross killed the Tron Soundtrack, they need that energy again.

As much as I dug it at the time, there is pre-With Teeth NIN and post-With Teeth NIN.

He needs that former energy back for sure.

There was a brillance and madness with the first three albums (and the Broken EP) and projects he worked on in between them, which includes the Quake soundtrack.

After With Teeth, it lost something.
