Id Software is hiring, maybe for a new Quake?

The Zenimax web site at present has a bunch of open job opportunities on the Texas department of id Software program, and several other of them point out the positions can be concerned in “the event of a long-running iconic motion FPS.” Assuming that Wolfenstein stays with Machine Video games and Rage with Avalanche, that leaves Doom and Quake as the one id video games that match the invoice—until your private definition of FPS contains Commander Eager someway.

The job listings repeatedly point out “sci-fi and fantasy” when referring to environments, which appears like Quake, and following this yr's remaster of the original, which got here with an entire new episode, it might be a pleasant time for a follow-up. There was a rumor earlier this year about a Quake reboot being labored on by id and Machine Video games with each singleplayer and multiplayer modes, and a feminine protagonist, although that's all value taking with the same old dosage of salt.

What would you need from a contemporary reboot of Quake? The Lovecraftian horror-fantasy of the primary sport, or the alien invasion body-horror of the second? Excessive-speed motion, or one thing slower and extra deliberate? Quake's been numerous issues in its lifetime, and a brand new sport may go in loads of completely different instructions.
