Xbox Boss Phil Spencer Seems Extremely Excited About id Software's Next Game

I didn't know I wanted another Heretic or Hexen game until this happened. I would still really love to see a new game in the style of Quake 1 though.

Doom (or Hexen?) is likely in development along with Gears of War 6, plus previously revealed State of Decay 3, Perfect Dark, Evewild and Indiana Jones that were not shown last Sunday. My questions is, what other games do you think are being developed?

I'm going to say Banjo-Kazooie 😁.

didn't quake have a story mode game on 360 maybe? i was interested but it ran so bad.

Go Phil Go! So cool, He knows his T-shirts always spark interest and good positive media for Xbox, smart man indeed! Also a great bit of fun 💚✅

As do his magical shelves ha-ha!!

It's Commander Keen.

@Banjo- Contraband by Avalanche Studios - first teased at E3 2021

Please, don't toy with my heart, Phil.

@rustyduck

Quake used to have a story a story. Same about if "story" as OG Doom games though lol.

That said, I'm with you, I want them to bring back Quake with a nice story.

@TJ81 Original suggestion.

@InterceptorAlpha If Quake does get a reboot, would you want it to be the Strogg storyline or go back to the almost Lovecraftian/horror/fantasy storyline?

I doubt it to be Hexen, the IP is owned by ABK and doubt they would agree to license it out pre-acquisition.

I am still expecting it to be Quake, hopefully its like Doom and entirely ignores previous games attempts at story and just comes up with something that is visually faithful to the first game, but with a much more interesting plot.

@Episode_13 hello there👍

@GamingFan4Lyf With the direction Doom went, and I enjoyed the direction, I'd say Lovecraftian horror.

We've got the whole mechanical demons for Doom. Mix it up a bit for Quake.

100% I would love to see a new take on Hexen. I remember finding a copy of Hexen 64 in a GameStop discount bin for $6 when I was young. My friend’s mom gave them permission to sell it to me lol

@Moonglow Xbox always had games. People focus too much on the back end of the Xbox One gen where first party output was genuinely rather poor. They were focussing dev teams on this and it is about to pay off.

Its going to be a competitive 2024 and ultimately gamers will benefit. Bring it on.

@code45709 I'm here 👍😁 thanks for the recommendation. PX is a lovely area.

@Episode_13 im glad you like it. Its a great site 😁👍

I'd like them to do a fast paced game with a good campaign and great multiplayer. Something similar to titanfall 2. That game kicked ass, and ID would be the perfect studio to do so

@Banjo- thats a super good and hard question, i mean what else could be being worked on. They have a slew of games announced. What else could there be to answer your question, only cause i want it more than anything now that Diablo 4 is out, and it wasn’t at the show. I will still give a 40% chance there is the Gears of War collection or Marcus Felix collection as some call it. I have zero clue as to who is working on it if it’s real. Many insiders say it’s real and some think it should have been announced. Tough question but i will go with one I desperately want to see and it seems like you did the same with your choice. Banjo and chainsaw Lancer’s!

@rustyduck Quake 4, some discs even had Quake 2 as well.

@Mastodon3954 i really really hope so. I was so hoping it would be at this show. So now i am not sure where it would be announced if it’s a thing. But it would make sense for us fans and bring in new fan’s to the series and be a great side piece to the upcoming show they have planned. Sony has shown remaking older game alongside its upcoming show or movie is successful. Gamers of old and new buy into them. Gears deserves this as it’s still a staple of the Xbox brand.

@Mastodon3954 glad to hear the spider-man stuff clicked with you, i need to give it a try. I am not the biggest Marvel fan but maybe i just need to give it another try. I never bought Spider-man on my PS4 or the PS5. Favorite Gears of War game for the story single player side i would go with the first one, Gears of War ultimate edition. Part 2 is really strong in the story tho. Gears 5 for online multiplayer, i logged like 600 hours in King of the Hill mode alone. I still have a little faith that MS will bring the gears collection out at some point this gen.

Quake 1 reboot all the way, please!
It was my most anticipated announcement but unfortunately it didn't materialize 😥

@Green-Bandit @Mastodon3954 If we are talking multiplayer it has to be 5 but the single campaigns of 1, 2 and 3 are great and I also loved everything about 4. The only campaigns that didn't impress me were Judgment and 5.

@Banjo- i agree with every word you just typed. Spot on buddy.

@Green-Bandit I hope you get that remastered trilogy! 😁 Judgement has a different tone, communication among characters has nothing to do with the other games and controls are changed for no reason. No wonder it is made by another developer. 5 gives bad vibes with moody Kait.

@Banjo- thanks buddy, yeah 5 just didn’t do much for me in single player. Wasn’t a bad game, i overall enjoyed it, but i have it ranked at the last in story, so that means it didn’t do much right either. Then i learned they nailed the multiplayer. At first the online had a busted rank system, then 2-3 updates later it was a even more busted rank system and they redid it from the ground up and it was on like a song from there.
