Simple remaster, I’m sure fans of the series will be stoked but it doesn’t really do much for me (someone unfamiliar with the series). Maybe I would have been more interested had it been a full on remake, modernizing level design and really bringing up the visuals to our standards of today.

This is my favorite generation of graphic style. It’s simple and doesn’t get in the way of the game. I swear new games will add trash and random objects in your way just because…

In new games with up to date graphics I end up losing attention on the game and start looking at all the random objects.

Looks awesome! Glad to see quake getting more love.

I already owned this on Steam, still have the big box CD version of the game and I’ve got to say, this looks pretty much like I remember.

I played the shit out of Q2 in 1999-2002, maybe 3,000 hours combined in multiplayer and participated in a few amateur online tournaments.

It’s a faithful remaster. Not RTX Quake2 but man is it good.

The new expansion pack (Call of the Machine) is decent but definitely was built by a modern level designer. It’s a lot more “fantasy-esque” with duels rather than subterfuge.

Hardware demands: Around 1300 MHz Core for maxed out 1440p, so a GTX 1060 or equivalent will run this flying, without any framedrops whatsoever. Very light on system resources, maybe 1-2 GB of VRAM tops. You can have an excellent experience on a variety of older cards and even laptops.

(I’ve got an overclocked RTX 4080, which is patent overkill for basically everything right now).

I’d recommend trying to mod the game with higher fidelity textures if you still have them laying around, maybe a few HUD palette swap upgrades. The remaster is “Vanila++” so it’s pretty much untouched.

Got excited until I saw Bethesda

Looks awesome

I still remember watching this with my friend and saying “imagine when games look like this.”

We still say it to eachother jokingly. Good memory.

Edit: oh actually just watched the video, and I’m only referring to the first part

Olalala
