2003 Quake 3 vs 2024 Godot Games

Text on the meme

2003 Game made in the Quake 3 Engine 2024 Game made in the GoDot Engine Open Source (No need to pay) Open Source (No need to pay) Authentic Retro looking games Can only make """retro looking""" games Game runs on ancient 2004 hardware and ultra fast on modern computers You actually need to buy a computer after 2016 to run this retro looking game No tutorials Tutorials are everywhere No Juan Juan

What it means

A comparison chart contrasts games made in the 2003 Quake 3 Engine with games made in the 2024 GoDot Engine. It jokes that older open-source games can look authentically retro, run on ancient hardware, and avoid tutorials, while modern Godot games may imitate retro visuals but require newer computers and include tutorials everywhere. The “No Juan” versus “Juan” row is an absurd extra contrast for comedic effect.
