Quake Champions vs Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Quake Champions
Quake Champions is the reworked and improved version of the classic MMOFPS game, Quake. In fact, the game doesn’t only pay homage to the timeless MMO shooter; it also improves on the usual Quake formula, by including whole new multi-level maps, lineup of characters and a much wider range of customization options, bringing the entire series to greater heights. The changes have also been met with approving nods from both die-hard fans and eSport Quake experts so the game’s definitely moving in the right direction. Of course, the game is also touted as Quake's comeback in the eSports arena.Quake Champions is currently in closed beta and is slated to be released later this year.
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds
Totally Accurate Battlegrounds has rapidly grown from being simply a belated April Fools' parody of the increasingly popular Battle Royal genre into a full-blown battle royale game itself (note the irony). The game has a fun crystalline-like graphical style and a gameplay that may remind you of Player Unknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG)... basically meaning that although you cannot build stuff, you can drive vehicles, including helicopters.What sets this game apart from all the other battle royale games is how "not serious" the game takes itself. The silliness in this game is through the roof, making it an excellent game to goof around with friends. The game touts a "physics-based everything", giving rise to hilarious moments while playing, such as getting blown off the ledge you're barely standing on due to the recoil effect from your gun. Of course, like PUBG, there are tons of cosmetics for your "weirdo" character to wear, sometimes to comedic effect - a Gandalf-slash-samurai, anyone?
In the realm of competitive battle royale gaming, it's really nice to see a game such as Totally Accurate Battlegrounds taking a mickey out of the possibly-overhyped and heavily-marketed genre. The game is currently undergoing a major overhaul due to its shift from free-to-play to premium and will be adding in anti-cheat measure and matchmaking, as well as improving server operations. As such, if you're thinking of getting this game, you might want to wait a bit.
