MachineGames

Maybe there's still a chance that that can come back and be a good thing at some point.

What was the rumor that Machine Games is working on one? That was a rumor? The rumor was that id software is making a perfect dark game.

Oh, that was when they let go of a bunch of people from id.

I remember they let go of like 75% of id.

see.

Killzone is what, like, Killzone came out, and then, like, Machine Games made the modern Wolfenstein games, and we were like, oh, like, this is what Killzone wanted to be.

Like, like, but machine games did this good like instead of like just average okay like but we have modern Wolfenstein so we don't need to

all right good for them I guess good luck for my guy you passed on Hideo Kojima and you're like let's let's let's kill zone back in the front get back into that's what everyone's waiting for to

Terrence's point like kill zone arguably I can't think of a more mid 2000s game title yeah all right all right we got we got a we got a first person shooter that's coming out this is going to be our halo what are you going to call it a halo

Blizzard.

Is Blizzard actually developing it or are they not handing it off to, like, Machinegames or somebody else who-

Mm-mm.

It was Blizzard.

The-

Uh, MachineGames.

We talked about it last time we were on your show.

They're making free updates to Quake.

Matt Ball tweeted a picture of that with some eyes.

And yeah, is that a tease for more Wolfenstein? To give you a little bit more detail, I will say MachineGames made Indiana Jones.

I think it's really good.

I would love them to make another Indiana Jones game.

But as we know from a recent Noclip documentary episode that focused on the studio, MachineGames studio head Jerk Gustafsson said that they hope they're not finished with Wolfenstein yet.

We have a story to tell.

So we know that there's a TV show in the works with Amazon MGM.

Oh, cool.

By the Machine Games people that they have.

They make do this.

Okay.

Yeah.

Because they have apparently at their...

They have a club... that people that work at Machine Games can join called Quake Club, and they make levels

for Quake together for

A positive one, actually a cool one.

For the 30th anniversary of Quake, MachineGames and its software have released a brand new episode.

And from what I've heard around the HowLongToBe community, it also slaps hard.

So get on that, I guess.

You can't go past Doom as well.

and also just I mean just a shout out to the new levels from Machine Games I haven't been able to check it out yet but what they did for Quake 2 a couple years back was amazing just you know new levels for an old game it's interesting like modern sensibilities with the old sort of old school gameplay aesthetic yeah totally yeah

and I enjoy I'm a big fan of Quake like Quake 3 clearly there you go yeah used to have a lot of let's say a lot of work time was spent playing Quake yeah With fellow colleagues because we were fully networked up.

So yeah, it's good fun

They don't call 'em WADs for Quake.

But, uh, if you own Quake for, like, Steam or Switch, their newer version, they just released a new one, MachineGames.

Nice.

And I've been playing that, and it's very fun.
