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.

AND! They’re giving us crossplay co-op and deathmatch all for the ridiculous total price of 10$

Edit: wording

Now if they could just remaster my faded FPS skills...

Fuck. YES.

Greatest railgun in gaming.

I love seeing this stuff! I really started PC gaming around 1995, but by the time Quake 2 came out, my old 75mhz Pentium Acer couldn't keep up, so I didn't get to play Quake 2. But it does my heart good to see these classics get loving remasters.

Action Quake 2 remastered?

Oh shit… Quake 2 CTF was my jam

I'm sad it doesn't work with Quake 2 RTX, I still find that to be prettier.

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.

Is the original soundtrack with it?

Quake 2 is so back. Hopefully we get some awesome user made MP maps!!!! Can't wait to jump into the new expansion too!

As someone who hasn’t 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?

Played the campaign last night and got reminded of the enemies that would fall to the floor and still shoot you. That was my biggest annoyance with quake 2 and still is 😂 what an amazing game though

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.

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

Had a quick blast on multiplayer last night, and promptly got my ass kicked while doing so - great fun though!

No way I was going to rebuy this game so it’s nice as an upgrade. Use to play a bunch of years ago online by patching the demo. Could only play custom maps though because the server wouldn’t let me download base game ones.

Just saw the tylermcviker video and it seems like an amazing rework. Like THE rework of a game.
