I love how it still looks chunky and low-poly. They could have made it super high res and fancy, but nah, they’re preserving the retro aesthetic.
These games were how I got into 3D modeling.
Making custom maps and assets and playing them for Doom 1&2, Quake 1&2, Quake 3 Arena, UT2014.These games had such great longevity because you could make your own new content or get it from others.
The game you bought was just the beginning.
Also the base games were wicked fun to begin with.
They had long longevity cause you didn’t need a fucking client/gatekeeper (win only) to be allowed to use it, no DRM, was cross-platform from the beginning, was light, still light and the gameplay is simply awesome.
Oh shit… Quake 2 CTF was my jam
As someone who hasn’t been played games for more than 15 years now, this makes me want to play again for the nostalgia; but I dont know where to start. I only have a macbook and an old laptop running linux. Will the remaster work on any of those? Is Steam the best way to install it?
If you happen to own the original game on steam you get the remaster for free as an update for what that’s worth
I was pleasantly surprised to find this out last night.
I used to love Quake II, I’m definitely installing since I own it on Steam.
Lost count of the amount of time I spent playing Q3 Arena though… Damn that was sweet.
I’m sad it doesn’t work with Quake 2 RTX, I still find that to be prettier.
Action Quake 2 remastered?
I hope so, was my favorite mod back in the day…
Anybody remember the mods for this where you had a gun that would dispense bricks so you could build stuff? There was also a mini-nuke mod that you could use to blow up said constructions. It was one of my favorite things to do in Quake II and would often result in my computer crashing because it couldn’t handle all the collision physics.
Just saw the tylermcviker video and it seems like an amazing rework. Like THE rework of a game.
Does it have a “software rendering” looking mode?
I always thought games of this era looked better in software rendering vs those n64 esque shaders
Removed by mod
They have a CRT mode and it renders the game in a low resolution. It’s pretty hideous imo though.
