![]() The reveal uses cinematic editing and apparent cut-scene camera framing to look a little bit sweetened compared to how the game will play when it actually launches (which Bethesda says will happen "in 2017"). Meanwhile, Prey's "gameplay" reveal appears to contain all in-engine footage of the upcoming first-person shooter. We'll have to wait until "2017" (no month or season yet announced) to test QC's speed-to-quality ratio once its first open beta launches. ![]() (Clearly, the squad working on QC wants to evoke your fondest Q3A memories, what with a combatant who looks a lot like the hoverboard-riding character Anarki from the game of old!) This seems intentional, as id has advertised support for 120 Hz monitors for the sake of twitchy, high-speed gameplay-and QC's reveal looks mighty fast, packed to the brim with running, bunny-hopping, and precise railgun kills. While some details-particularly a giant, chained eyeball-are rendered well and smothered in cool lighting effects, other parts of the reveal look less polished than id's other recent, major shooter, the Doom reboot from earlier this year. The verticality is strong in this one, as the QC sequence's combatants take advantage of booster-jump pads and their own rocket jumps to bounce around large, well-decorated arenas. Champions'combat was shown from an apparent first-person, mid-combat perspective, along with a few floating-camera shots of at least three arenas that look like modern upgrades of the castle, sewer, and factory settings from its forebear, 1999's Quake III Arena. The upcoming Quake-branded online shooter from id Software was shown in what looks like a fully functional pre-alpha state. That event kicked off in Grapevine, Texas on Thursday with gameplay reveals for both games, though Quake Champions' 75-second video was more revealing. Deep down, we knew why Quake Champions and the Prey reboot got such content-thin reveals back in June: because Bethesda had to save something for its giant, weekend-long QuakeCon festival. ![]() This year's E3 gaming conference began with one of the industry's current heavy hitters, Bethesda, announcing two new games in a blatant "more smoke than fire" kind of way. Newest Quake entry appears to choose speed over visual shine Prey takes sharp detour. ![]()
