Last week I asked everyone what game debates they wanted to see, and one topic that got a lot of praise was developer debates. It's the best suggestion I've read in a while and I'm definitely going to designate a few weeks to that theme, but first I want to hear which game developers you'd like to argue over. So on top of this week's debate vote, also leave a few comments telling me what some of your favorite developer studios are that you'd love to stand behind in a fight to the death.
This week's debate comes from DaedHead8's suggestion of the Quake series versus the Unreal Tournament series. It's time to put your fragging fingers to the test -- tell us which FPS series is better, and why? Take a break from playing BioShock, 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.

UT.
Quake doesn't even know what it is as a series. We're not going to play Quake Wars because it's Quake, we are going to play it because it's Enemy Territory.
UT, hands down.
If more people showed support for this gem, maybe we would see more spinoffs of the series that catapulted, nay, defined, Multiplayer FPS.
So count my vote as Unreal.
Oh shit Kevin Pereira is pissed cause I said UT was better then Quake. Now a famous person I'll never meet in real life is mad at me!
that was until my friend booted up UT on his dads mac... oooohhhhh pretttyyyy
UT
No really. I was kinda hoping for a good debate here as I'm an über hardcore UT fan. But this topic is teh fail. :(
Maybeee... UT vs CS? :<
How bout Valve vs id Software for a debate?
So my vote goes to quake, although we've already lost.
And as far as the FFXIII discussion, no, FFXIII does NOT run on the Unreal3 engine; it runs on the SquareEnix designed White Engine. The first (and so far, only) Square Enix game to use the Unreal3 engine is Last Remnant.
UT was always better to me. Better maps, much better weapons, more fun peeps to play with.
Quake II + super hero mod owned my high school years.
Quake III owned my high school years + some college + I regularly still face Fata1ty for domination rounds...
Quake FTW
So many days in the CS Lab were wasted on massive capture the flag matches.
Hmm? Do work? Err... it's a study in umm... physics...and.. umm... GODDAMMIT BASTARD SHOT ME IN THE FACE!
For pure fun, madness, and plenty of content to keep the maps and gametypes new for hours and hours? UT, hands down. Between the metric fuckton of maps that come with every version of UT, the mutators that turn any game into a unique experience, and the loads of fun gametypes, we spend a lot of time play UT before anyone gets tired of it.
When it's time to decide who wins the last soda, it's time for Quake 3. When it's time to have some pure fucking fun, it's time for UT.
As far as the debate goes, I'd like a SK/Epic free for all, but the Gears/UT crowd is way bigger than the Eternal Darkness crowd.
Maybe Atlus vs. SquareEnix?
