Tim Willitsin mukaan Quakeen ei ole tulossa Battle Royalea

Battle Royale on tämän hetken kuuma juttu, ja kaikki tuntuvat haluavan osingoille villityksen tuloista. id Softwaren Tim Willits on kuitenkin toista mieltä.

Gamespotille antamassaan haastatelussa Willits sanoi, ettei Quake Champions tule saamaan omaa versiotaan Battle Royalesta. Pelimuodon kehittäminen valmiiksi veisi kauemmin aikaa kuin mitä villitys todennäköisesti kestää.

"Listening to what your fans [and what] game modes they want is important. Like CTF in Quake Champions is the next game mode coming out. We originally did not plan on having it in. But our fans are like 'Duuude we need CTF.' But the time it takes to develop games and make them successful can actually be longer than the public's interest in a game."

"So you need as a developer to be really careful that you don't chase trends because by the time you come out with it, people can be like, 'Really? this was like three years ago; this was fun.' If you just copy fun game modes from other games, you'll always be too late. So that's the approach we take."
