It's my favorite FPS since the original Half-Life, even.
I like it more as time goes on.

So is Skyrim just going to be the PC version on ultra settings or something?

The Prey series as a whole is one of the most troubled game franchises in existence when it comes to development. The first Prey went through multiple builds and cancellations before Human Head restarted it for their 2005 release. Prey 2 has gone through development hell as well.
Excited for Evil Within 2 and Wolfenstein 2 though. I absolutely loved the first Evil Within and The New Order.

It's not like they pretty much gave away with a massive new twist that they are making a sequel in the second part of the dlc or anything.....

The base game and the DLC are super-sequel-centric, but I could reel off a dozen games and movies which did the same and never got to follow their logical conclusion due to under-performance.
That said, TEW2 probably has a good chance of existing. We've never had solid numbers for it afaik, but it sold strongly at launch and by all accounts Bethesda was very happy with its performance. Here's hoping.
Yep. They wanted a very specific look for TEW, and idtech, the only engine they realistically had access to, had to bend over backwards to accommodate it because it just simply wasn't designed to do the things TEW is doing. As a result, it occasionally suffers with framerate and some minor glitches. The game looks really, really good for the most part though.

How is Evil Within on PC these days? I recall it had some problems, correct?

It's so good. Wolfenstein and doom are shocking breaths of fresh air in the genre.

Well, yes, but... what about the fact of actual announcement of the game you didn't know about? It is almost non existent cuz almost everything leaks ahead of time nowadays.
Machine Games is the last dev on earth who should take on Quake. They really don't like multiplayer.
It's fine, but 60fps requires a beefy CPU:
You sure that graph isn't pre-patch? I remember they updated the game later which gave it a sizable performance boost.
If tno is anything to go by MG needs to stay FAR away from quake.
The thought is just utterly revolting.
I mean I sort of even like tno in a weird sort of way, but it was basically just another rote half life clone with dual welding and bad stealth sections, and raven already gave us a crappy half-quake anyways.
This terrible opinion aside, I assume that if a Quake reboot happened it would be a multiplayer focused anyway.
Quake was first and foremost a multiplayer arena shooter , the singleplayer was always seemed pretty irrelevant.

I don't see how single player in Quake 1 was irrelevant. The level design was fantastic and clearly tons of effort and time went into that aspect.
Maybe that could be said of the sequels but that it was never relevant in the Quake series isn't true.

Quake's single player campaign was completely overshadowed by Duke Nukem 3D. Multiplayer and modding was where Quake's strength really lied in. But at the same time, I still thing Quake's single player was a little overlooked, it was still a solid experience and something that I would like to see revisited.

I think Quake's single-player is pretty great. But I remember reading reviews of both Duke Nukem 3D and Quake 1 at the time of release and Quake was mainly praised for its tech while Duke 3D was praised for its campaign.
I've grown to appreciate Quake much more than Duke 3D over the years though, that's for sure.
A cursory search doesn't bring up any benchmarks with a particular version mentioned. There was a patch that removed the 30fps cap, which may be what you're thinking of.

Quake was a fine game, but Duke 3D and Blood both had a better SP campaign.

You know what is funny to me? I double dipped; PS4, PC and got to the same place on both platforms and quit.
need to go back and beat both versions! Btw, if you're curious.. I quit on

I'd be happy to see Prey 2 revived. I thought it looked really quite fun - Blade Runner: The Game - when it first appeared. Seemed like it was a long way along to just can it outright.

Would be over the moon to see a new Wolfenstein but The Evil Within 2 would be disappointing. It felt like Mikami and the rest of Tango Gameworks didn't really care about the game with most of the ideas being ripped right out of Resident Evil, Silent Hill and other horror franchises. I hope this is false and they are really working on a more original game that they are passionate about.

If The Evil Within 2 happens, it would likely be ID Tech 6 I would imagine.
Delicious nutty chewy gorgeous visuals at 60fps on consoles, yes?
But for the love of god, tone down that bob and weave effect in a third person game.

You apparently aren't familiar with what the word "rumor" means?
