Last weekwas a shoot out between the two classic first person shooter seriesQuakeandUnreal Tournament. Some argued thatQuakedeserved the win this week for paving the path of online play, while others thoughtUnreal Tournament‘s multitude of maps and gameplay made for the winning combination. It’s hard to call the debate result a landslide when the losing side still received dozens of votes, but it’s obvious that there was a clear winner this week:
This week’s game developer debate comes from the suggestion ofKartzan, who wants to see Valve and id Software face off against one another.Valvehas taken the industry by storm in recent years with its successfulHalf-LifeandCounter-Strikegames, whileidhas been pushing profits for two decades withCommander Keenand severalDoomandQuakegames. Which is the better company, and why? Cast your votes, give us a reason for your decision, get some friends to give their opinions, and check back next week for the winner. Feel free to suggest other developer or publisher debates you’d like to see play out.
