This is a serious remaster, with crossplay, co-op, new graphics options, the source code for modders, and more.

    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.

      I still play quake and doom and hexen and heretic and a whole bunch of others. Gog.com is my favourite place to buy games if I can get them there.

      I also dabbled in 3d modelling back then in 3d studio max or something. I used to love it, now I just don’t have the time 🤣.

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

    Edit: wording

      Anyone else starting to experience hand fatigue while gaming or am I the only actual old person here?

    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.

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

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

      RTX looks incredible, but I can’t forgive them swapping out the railgun and BFG models. Played through it several times and every time I hit ‘9’ I feel a little sad.

    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

    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.
