Now "remaster" Quake 3 (especially after you broke it)
First Quke 1 gets an "HD update", now Quake 2, so do it to Quake 3 as well. I would like to play full screen without it flipping resolutions and messing up my desktop or in a window I can actually reposition. Also make the skins work again. I've been using some custom skins since like 2001 and they even worked here on Steam and only with some recent update they broke.

MS is great at remastering remasters see AoE.

Q3R will come. reason is to bring it on consoles.

And making money with old content.

Quake live didn't go as planned. So an actual remaster of Quake 3 Arena it's still in order. I say it will happen. But we will have to wait.

As true as that may be, it still lacks some nice features that the Quake 1 and 2 remasters have. Also if you wanted to play against bots in Quake Live, they were a bit dumber than Quake 3's bots, and their pathfinding (if you can call it that) was broken on some maps.

Also I've had OS updates become incompatible with the Quake 3 engine (unless I turned on compatibility mode) and the Quake 3 engine change my brightness on my desktop and I'd have to change it manually. Not a big deal, just annoying. And these issues occur on Quake Live as well.

I'd honestly like to see both Quake 3 and Quake Live remastered because of these things. It may be weird that I'm asking for Quake Live remastered as well, but it's the only Quake game with workshop support which is almost always nice to have. So I'd love to see a remaster that utilizes that. And in all honesty, they probably won't add that to a Quake 3 remaster. I want them to, though.

Just use ioquake3 source port if you're having problems with the original engine. It's designed for modern systems so it shouldn't ♥♥♥♥ anything up

I haven't had issues lately because some of these issues got fixed with OS update's or I found out how to prevent/fix these issues efficiently on my own. I've just had issues in the past that I know could happen at pretty much any time and also know that there's also people out there who won't understand how to install ioquake or how to use the fixes I found.

I am also moreso advocating for other features that could be included in a remaster like what Quake 1 and 2 got. Ya know, like crossplay, better controller support, split screen, remote play together... Those last three might sound especially weird, but I can actually very much utilize all three of those, and I know some friends who'd very much love all that too.

Holy crap I can only pray to the gods there will be a remaster of this from the ground up with Team Arena for free.
