My favorite Quake title is being remastered! One of my most nostalgic PC titles from the 90s. Finally a remaster I’m excited about.
That’s exciting :) I definitely have a lot of nostalgia for Quake 2. The Quake 1 remaster from a little while back was really well done, and remained true to the original, so I hope this keeps that up.
Very curious to see how this turns out. Q2 was a childhood game of mine.
Because of this post I just did a little round of Quake 1 (with glQuake) - it’s amazing how much the brain retains … from 1996?!? Shot this, push this, sink into this to find the secrets ;)
Heck yeah! Always fun to revisit the classics every so often. 😁
Would be awesome if they finished the Zaero mission pack. Despite the bad reviews, I really liked all the badass sci-fi. Quake 2 is the peak of FPS to me
Probably the best quake game with a story. I would argue Quake 3 Arena was the best in terms of popularity but as far as the Quake games with an actual campaign, this is probably the best of them. Quake 4 felt like a remake of Quake 2 but it wasn’t as fun. Quake 2 had a RTX version made as well which could be seen as a remaster. I wonder if its really just a remaster or an actual remake.
The opening cinematic to Quake II is a banger. I love it.
The soundtrack was amazing too. I ripped it to MP3 from the CD years ago when CDs and MP3s were still a thing. I listen to the soundtrack regularly to this day.
Would be real interesting to see it run at GDQ, you know, to really make the whole speedrunning thing come full circle.
