Thank you to Bethesda & id for supplying me with early access to this release.
A full remaster of QUAKE II has released on August 10th 2023, and I've played everything this new game has to offer.
From the press release:
"Enjoy the original, authentic version of Quake II, now enhanced with up to 4K* and widescreen resolution support, enhanced models, improved animations and gore, improved and restored AI behaviors, enhanced cinematics, dynamic and colored lighting, anti-aliasing, depth of field, and the original, heavy rock soundtrack by Sonic Mayhem.
Go beyond Quake II with both original mission packs, “The Reckoning,” and “Ground Zero,” as well as “Call of the Machine”, a brand-new, full-length Quake II experience from MachineGames. In addition, every level from Nintendo’s classic Quake II 64 is included."
This is the best example of a classic PC game being remastered in the modern era, complete with all preiously released content, brand new content that exceeds the original in quality, and for the first time ever, an attempt to archive the production history of the game through a new feature called the 'id Vault.' This is no joke.

Special mention should be given to Brendan Mckinney (LoH Bros) who went from making a fan remake of the Quake 2 intro cinematic a year ago to being hired to work on it and the other cinematics in an official capacity for the remaster. He's moving up in the world, that's for sure.

@Chozo_Ghost 10 месяцев назад

Per Stephen Kick (Nightdive CEO), he's also working on remastering the cutscenes for another of their "top secret projects"... and something tells me that that top secret project could either be something like NOLF or Turok 3 👀

@Reactor10k 10 месяцев назад

@alizaprokop5259 10 месяцев назад

This whole thing blows me away

@lamelama22 10 месяцев назад

I mean... on that note; the KEX engine started as a fan hobby project to port the original DOOM engine to OpenGL and to reverse engineer / port DOOM 64 to it, simply because he wanted to play DOOM 64 on a modern machine (& fix the lighting so it was playable), and it was open sourced & publicly available. And then they got hired to sell it as the official DOOM 64 port.

@professordetective807 10 месяцев назад

@@Chozo_Ghost | I'd love it to be NOLF, but that legal knot between Disney, Activision, and WB is still in the way. Unless the new bosses at Atari have enough liquid cash to cut through it... Plus, all on NOLF's cutscenes were real-time, in-engine. They'd be upgraded alongside the gameplay.

@TacoWrath95 10 месяцев назад

@@themisterdellou Quake Live isn't the same experience as the original Quake III Arena. It's missing all the gore, a lot of the original maps, you need to jump through a million hoops to play the Multiplayer in its original form, and they dumbed down the A.I. quite a bit. Also, getting the original to even run on a modern system is nearly impossible for a layman, and even if you do it'll break the cinematics and even the UI if you're really unlucky.

@Wobbothe3rd 10 месяцев назад

We already have Quake Live and Quake Champions. It would be nice to let consoles in, but it would be better done with a plain old spurceport. Don't want to split the multiplayer community AGAIN.

@Wobbothe3rd 10 месяцев назад

@TacoWrath95 dude, there are plenty of modern spurceports for all the Quake's ESPECIALLY Quake 3. Quake Live is all they need to port to consoles, I dont know when you last played it but a lot of what you said is wrong. The bots are actually better than the OG Quake 3. Virtually every map is available in QL for server operators or local games.

@Cellsius 10 месяцев назад

Something I really appreciate about this remaster and the remaster of the first Quake, it's the different (and much better) treatment id software gave to his old games compared to other companies, and I'm not only talking about the remaster itself, but how they preserved all about those old games, the source code, the assets, the demos and all that stuff. It's miles away from companies like Square-Enix which lost the source code even for some of their biggest videogames like FF VII or Kingdom Hearts... This is the kind of things that tells you how a company really is. Of course, all of them are here for the money, to make big bucks and all that; but in the process, some take more care for their legacy than others, and id software have my absolute respect for that. Bringing back this game with more content, remaking or enhancing things, putting a lot of stuff giving it more value and quality, and even giving it for free to those that had the game before, it's absolutely top notch. I really really appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.

The new AI is amazing. The first time I saw a berserker leap across the room and slam me in the face I was genuinely shocked. Berserkers are utterly useless in the original release, but here they're actually dangerous. Explosive armed Strogg also like to try and put pressure on areas you're hiding behind and most enemies now actively try to dodge your shots. It's great.

Q2 is my favorite. I grew up with this game. I played Rocket Arena 2 for hundreds of hours. I love the setting, the aesthetics, the music. I truly hope we get either a complete remake or a new entry in the Strogg universe. Tho the chances are probably very slim. After Doom/Eternal, I highly doubt we get another sci-fi remake. Also, SonicMayhem’s soundtrack is GODLIKE. It is so good. To me it’s up there with MickGordon’s recent Doom Soundtracks.

@Kaleidio 10 месяцев назад

I do have to agree with you here. For some reason, the more I play it, the more it makes me realize that doom eternal feels like a quake-and-doom-simultaneous-reboot thing. maybe that's why the ranger skin was included and the ancient gods released like mission packs were back in the day...hm....but I would prefer a quake focused game.

@Grandmastergav86 10 месяцев назад

I enjoyed Doom 2016 for the most part, don't really care for Eternal but I hope they don't go down the reboot route with Quake. The purity of OG Quake is beautiful. I'm not keen on the tonal shift in the new Doom games (collecting toys etc), I'd prefer a "darker" more visceral experience.

I'd be running back and forth during StarCraft because you can only pause it 3 times, so me and my cousin would strategize our attacks. I still remember him almost being over run by the Zerg, him being Protoss, and I flew in with my Battlecruisers to give him cover. Also flew my Terran Command Center to his base when I got over-run once, then we figured out he could mind control one of my SCVs to have extra units.

should be pretty apparent to quite a few people but you can use the console to gain some extra features like 32 player coop, bots in coop, scaling the physical enemy size, how much damage they take and lots more.

I can't describe how awesome it was to play Quake 2 on a brand new 3D accelerated pc back in the day.

Call of the machines is an absolute blast. I sometimes stop and looked the map thinking I was playing half life 2. The levels environments were on that level of awesomenes.

I just realised this came out yesterday and bought it immediately. I always hated the expansion episodes, but saw one I didn't recognize and decided to try it first. I started playing it and immediately thought, "I don't remember this, but it feels so familiar, it reminds me of tech levels in Arcane Dimensions for Q1 or the MachineGames episodes that came with Q1 Remastered". I didn't play too much of it or look it up because I still wanted to keep playing Swat 2 before going to bed (I literally stopped everything to buy and install Q2R lol). This remaster is amazing, and even fixed the only things I dislliked about the original: diagonal pixels on gun textures when not using texture smoothing, and the lack of muzzle flash. I really hope that Machine Games' new episode inspires some of Q1's level creators to make something as special as Arcane Dimensions for Q2 now that we have a pretty solid base for them.

@chloewebb5526 10 месяцев назад

@@TylerMcVicker1 It got me into tactical sims and RTS at the same time as a kid. I remember playing Commandos back in the day and thinking "why is SWAT 3 a Rainbow Six clone..." - It could really do for a remaster, like Commandos 2 got.

@HaraldQuake 10 месяцев назад

They probably all quit and moved on... Just like all the Half-Life 1 clans I used to play with... I miss those times when people actually cared about socializing around a game, forming a community and having clan culture and ladders/tournaments. Now it's only duels. We need more comp TDM and CTF!

@gerrysmith5597 10 месяцев назад

@@HaraldQuake - yeah, I moved onto Battlefield and play every night (I just hit 70 years old last month!) and it defo needs a decent CTF mode. Looking forward to a few hours on Quake II though.
