I really start hating this meme format because there is never any explanation why they categorize things that way.
Quake, like doom is just point and shoot with fast movement and no real story.
With half life you have to think more about covers, envoirments etc, its story focused and not too much about running around as fast as you can
And Doom predates Quake, so why use Quake as example? Doom is also still pretty well known thanks to the “but can it run Doom” meme?
Also does not explain why Quake 2 is not Quake. Sure there was a story but how important was it really?
If you just give people the boundary condition, it’s just another arbitary way to divide the world in two. There would be nothing to talk about.
This way people can feel clever for inferring the rule.
I have a hot take on this theory. Half-life actually fits in the quake category and the second category is Half-life 2
Especially since Half Life runs on the (heavily modified) Quake engine.
Half-Life 2 is actually Medal of Honor
They both fall under the common genre of sewer barrelers
I’d love people getting as excited about rpgs and turnbased games as they are for twitch games 😕
Quake 2 (1997) came out before Half-Life (1998). So Half-Life is a Quake 2 game, if we’re accepting the 3rd panel as true.
Half-Life is a Quake 1 game. Valve received the source code of Q1 engine, not Q2
The OP called Quake 2 a ‘Half-Life’, but Quake 2 came out before Half-Life.
All FPS fall into two categories: Quake-likes, and Quake 2-likes, or as I like to call them, 2uake-likes.
I support Unreal tournament and fuck y’all refuse to admit is like duck sounding shit…
I don’t get it. Is the main difference story, or is it a gameplay thing?
Meh I love FPS games and here is how I would categorize things.
-
movement shooters (subcategories singleplayer and multiplayer) -> Xonotic, Quake, Unreal Tournament, Ultrakill, Doom etc…
-
battlefield awareness/combined arms games -> Battlefield, Battlefront, Insurgency, Easy Red 2, Angels Fall First, Operation Harsh Doorstop, Project Reality etc… I also include battle royale style shooters here as they also primarily test battlefield awareness.
-
repetitive aim focused games on small memorizable maps -> Call Of Duty, Counter Strike, Valorant etc…
-
pve swarm focused games -> Deep Rock Galactic, LFD2, Hell Divers, Warhammer Darktide
-
Gears of War?
That’s a third person shooter
Fair. I can take the loss
Here ya go
