I’m certain they will. Dimension of the Machine is brand new and was released alongside the recent remaster. It seemingly helps connect Quake and Quake II.

@@Woodyisasexybeastespecially because of Quake 2s dlc called Call of the Machine. It’s very similar and you even travel to some familiar places during it too

@ColeGenthe-kw7qf oh yeah, I’m quite familiar. I did a breakdown similar to this for Quake II and all of its DLCs

I’d love to and plan to. I found call of the machine to be very interesting and loved how it actually connected the two games. I never thought I’d be so happy to see shamblers lol

@@Woodyisasexybeast yeah, infact call of the machine confirms quake 2 is not just a sequel in name anymore it is THE sequel for quake 1.

Thank you :). I’m planning on doing Quake II at some point as well

@@Woodyisasexybeast Can't wait - it might be worth putting Quake 2 & 4 together, as they continue the same story. Quake 3 unfortunately is low on story, but it's nice to see the Ranger from Q1 is still going in it!

That was a thought I had but I’m not sure.

If you look hard enough there is a fairly substantial amount of q3 lore to explore

@@SlimeBlueMS Please point me in the right direction!

I have something like that for Quake II and every other game dealing with the Strogg war. Quake II, it’s DLCs, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Quake 4. It’s sort of similar in that I talk about the characters thoughts and things. That’s not a bad idea though and it’s something I’ve been thinking about. A more generalized timeline that’s sort of outside the characters heads for the most part

You should check out the comic, Quake Champions. I used some of it in this video to help flesh out the rangers backstory and give him some more context. It’s a really cool comic and totally worth the read. Only one section is from his POV though.

Working on a Quake II breakdown as well

Thanks a lot. The original cut used the Quake soundtrack but sadly, I wasn’t allowed to use it and had to re-edit the video with Halo stuff. Is what it is I suppose 🤷‍♂️

Thanks though I have no idea why you saw no ads. I need every penny I can get cause making these is a lot of work 😅

@@Woodyisasexybeast He must have an ad blocker on as I saw the ads

@Induna123 almost certainly

@@Induna123 KZfaq app does not have ad blockers.

@@Woodyisasexybeast KZfaq app does not have ad blockers.

Sure thing. I actually just posted a massive breakdown of Quake II, 4 and everything in between (the entirety of the Strogg war)

​@@Woodyisasexybeast i'll give it a watch no doubt. Must have taken a lot of work to make.

@Induna123 you have no idea lol Gotta be like 100 hours worth of time put into that beast

Glad you enjoyed. This was quite the effort to produce. I like Halo 5 and Infinite. Both stories would’ve been much better had they stuck to their guns and not coarse corrected so hard. The Didact should’ve reappeared and Cortana’s created should’ve stuck around. They needed more time to develop both plots. I can’t stand retcons. Running with mistakes and improving upon them with content later is always the way to go. Though I am glad that Infinite brought the Banished into an FPS.

Everything after Shub is DLC. Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity were official level packs for the original PC version of the game. Dimension of the Past was made in 2016 by one of the main devs at MachineGames. The final DLC, Dimension of the Machine, was created very recently and made available along side the 2021 re-release of the game.

Hard/Nightmare are NO JOKE. especially in the expansions

I’d never heard of Abyss of Pandemonium until this comment. It’s not an official release so I would agree with you that it isn’t canon. They could always release it through their add ons system though. Not that that would make it canon because there are plenty of add ons that aren’t. I like this “Dark Young” idea. I’ve also never heard of it until this comment. The idea that Shub might still exist in some capacity is interesting. I assume that the forces of Quake are lead by gods with a little g and that something greater exists beyond them. The rulers of the arena eternal, specifically. Perhaps they’re the ones responsible for the creation of the lightning mechanism used to dispatch Chthon the first time around? That’s the only other really big unanswered question. A question I find more mysterious and intriguing than the identity of the voice. It’s very possible that the voice was the dragon but the little bit of lore from that DLC is very vague. So it could really go either way. I think that might’ve been the original intention but it’s really hard to say with absolute certainty.

​@@Woodyisasexybeast The dragon sounds more plausible the more I think about it. Though, I'm just curious, had Abyss of Pandemonium made the cut based on the rumors making it sound official, I wonder how the time timeline would of shifted. You'd have to play the mappack yourself a few times to try to get a sense of the history behind it too if there was any curiosity. Honestly, I consider it the "unofficial" 3rd mission pack based on where it would of sat it's own release, although we already know Dimension of the Past is real official one.

Id was good at saving resources. Where’d you hear that? I did this in release order because there’s no other way to date these. Especially considering they seem to take place beyond linear time.

@@Woodyisasexybeastread it on wikipedia, they even linked three sources to it, but looking at the linked sources, it appears that there's no factual information to prove this. Weird, why include the sources as proof if they're arbitrary at best?

@georgeoldsterd8994 (reposting my comment so you see my edits) that basically sums up my entire experience with both the Doom and Quake wikis. They’re extremely unreliable and almost never cite actual sources. I’m still trying to track down where it’s stated that the capital ship Bitterman is aboard during Quake II is called the Phobos. That’s what the wiki claims but I’ve seen literally 0 evidence of that elsewhere. I just found the links you’re referring to. Didn’t realize you meant Wikipedia proper. How strange. I think they’re saying that because it’s listed as “episode 5: dimension of the machine”. Suggesting it takes place right after episode 4, the netherworld. Not so sure that means it actually takes place between them though 🤷‍♂️

In all seriousness, I imagine that’s what might end up happening. Sort of. If id is working on a new Quake game like I suspect, I imagine it’ll tie into Doom somehow.

I’ve actually never played either. Maybe 🤔

@@Woodyisasexybeast I think you'd at least like Heretic. HeXen is a bit of a love/hate type of game.

I’m certainly not against giving them a try. I mainly tackled Quake because of its narrative connections to Doom and I’m pretty damn certain id or machingames are working on a new one.

@@Woodyisasexybeast Dude I loved this video.

Thank you. I have one for Quake II and the entire Strogg war too

I wanted to use Quake music but unfortunately, Trent Reznor retained the rights to all of it, so I was unable.

Loss of family is the same too. Doom guy had a wife and kid (as seen on a picture within the fortress of doom)

@@Woodyisasexybeast is it confirmed that Ranger guy loses his family as well to the quake forces?

No. His struggle in the comic that I used throughout this video is all we’ve got. I imagine they’re fine though. The Shub incident was pretty self contained. Especially considering it seems all but forgotten about during the Strogg war. Quake II’s Call of the Machine seems to show that humanity doesn’t know about Shub-Niggurath at all. In the case of Doom guy, it’s not confirmed that his family was killed by the demons but given his rage, I imagine that’s exactly what happened.

@@Woodyisasexybeast no actually in the case of doomguy, it was confirmed that both his family and his bunny were killed. About quake, yeah now i feel that everything is falling into place. It's different from DOOM and it's because it takes place in a different multiverse. Quake champions is where all these universes overlap, isn't it?

No no, you’re misunderstanding me. His family for sure died and Daisy for sure died at the hands of the demons. We don’t know for certain whether or not his family was killed by demons though. Daisy is the only one that’s 100% confirmed. Doom and Quake are absolutely within the same multiverse. Quake 3 and Champions have shown us as much

Every single time I read it in the script, I got nervous I’d pronounce it… poorly

Oh boy do I have a surprise in the works for you 😉 Keep an eye out. I think you’ll like it

I tried to say their names throughout whenever I talked about them but here’s a list. Base game Standard infantry - grunt Heavy infantry - enforcer Dog - Rottweiler Zombie - zombie Grenade thrower - ogre Small armored guy- knight Big armored guy - death knight 4 legged freak - fiend Flying prick - scrag Giant electricity flinger - shambler Gooey guy - spawn 3 legged thing - vore Lava dude - Chthon final boss - Shub-Niggurath Scourge of armagon Bat like corpse eater - gremlin Scorpion - centroid Seed pod - spike mine Final boss - armagon Dissolution of eternity Flying reaper guy - wraith Flying reaper guy boss - overlord Floating sword - phantom swordsman Eel - electric eel Statue - statue Upgraded spawn - hell spawn Multi nade douche - multi-grenade ogre Mummy - mummy Egyptian guys - guardian (3 different versions) Small Chthon - Hephaestus Dragon - dragon

​@@Woodyisasexybeast I prefer the names you've given them.

It’s in the works :)

@@Woodyisasexybeast thanks... you did a great job on this btw... made a fun *not so little * story out of a game I thought made no sense

Originally, I had intended to work a bunch of Nine Inch Nails references into my script but the idea got lost during the process 🤷‍♂️

Yep. I wanted to keep that out of this video and save it for another.

You Ever Written A Story Before?
