Still Not Convinced Another Proper Quake Is Happening

They have dug themselves into a hole by making Quake 2 the current quake mythos, and I really can't see them rebooting it completely back to the world of Quake 1.
They are much more likely to try to awkwardly merge the Quake 1 and 2 worlds together; a compromise that would leave a worse taste in my mouth than Jimmy Saville's special "frozen yoghurt" lollipops.

I'm not so sure about that... We already saw some organic/machine hybrids on Q1... who's to say the Strogg didn't get the idea from the "enemy codenamed Quake"?

Hrm, maybe, yeah. I hope not. I see them trying to make wolf, doom and quake as distinct from one another as possible, though.
I hope they ditch the strogg. Quake2/4 is essentially doom with less interesting enemies/story.
Quake2...

Had a strong individual mythology and theme for sure. Hell it almost had a plot which Q1 didn't. Q4 should have been a good reboot of that, but it was pretty forgettable.
Could there be a better reboot of it?? Possibly but then it would be pretty much directly competing with Doom4.
Could there be a blend of Q1 and Q2?? Possibly but then I really want to see Kinn sucking them lollipops....

When you boil it down though, Doom and Quake are pretty interchangeable.
Doom: Tech base, rocky alien planet, hell, demons, mecha-demons.
Quake 1: Tech base, medieval, sort-of-hell, demons.
Quake 2/4: Tech base, rocky alien planet, cyborgs that may as well be mecha-demons.
All of the Quake and Doom games have freely cross-pollinated with each others weapons, powerups, and game mechanics.
IMO Doom should just keep on being Doom, and Quake needs to ditch all the tech base stuff and just be about ancient fortresses of monsters and knights, and imaginative lovecraftian nether-realms, that are very different to the Doom Hell stuff.
<- Quake.

When most gamers say "Quake", they think Quake 3 or at best Quakeworld. ID would likely just use the Quake IP for multiplayer focused titles if they're smart.
