SQUEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

It could be a remake or reboot. We will find out next week at QuakeCon.

I hope it's anything.

QuakeCon 2021 begins Thursday, August 19.

Not long to wait then.

I don't think the new Quake game will be released this year though.

Being another fps game it will compete directly with the upcoming Fall release of Halo Infinite another AAA fps favorite.

They will probably just announce it's development so as not to conflict with Halo Infinite, since Quake is now also a Microsoft IP.

The timing of a Quake reboot does make sense. id Software first launched Quake in June 1996, making this year the game's 25th anniversary.

Man, ever since the reboots of Wolfenstein and especially Doom (2016) I have been wanting a Quake 1 reboot. Hell when the Quake 2 ray-tracing tech version came out, I was hoping they'd do the same thing for the first game.

I love Quake 2 and 4 - I think both games are amazing, and a Quake 4 remaster like the Doom BFG version would be cool, especially because I don't think it would be as polarising to the original fan base.

But if there is a reboot of the franchise I hope they go back to the original setting - it is just so different from everything that came after it. I love the loose abstract concepts that they mashed together to create a truly odd looking world space.

Quakecon on Youtube right now. Just started. Am watching.

Quake gets a visual overhaul on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Switch for its 25th birthday
2 comments

It’s available today for $9.99

Machine Games and id Software have teamed up to create a visually enhanced version of the original Quake game, after June 22nd marked the 25th anniversary of the game’s release.

It’s the classic Quake, run-and-gun combat through medieval mazes with nailguns, grenade launchers, and shotguns, but it’s all in 4K with widescreen support, online multiplayer, and even new expansion packs.

The original version of Quake is now available on PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo Switch, complete with up to 4K support, widescreen resolutions, enhanced models, dynamic lighting, anti-aliasing, depth of field, and lots more visual enhancements.

Both the original Quake expansion packs are also available, as well as two expansions developed by Machine Games. A four-player online mode for the campaign is available, or local split-screen co-op. There’s even eight-player multiplayer matches with crossplay support, or four-player split-screen local ones. Quake will also include support for fan-made mods and missions, including Quake 64.

Quake is available on PC, Xbox, and PlayStation for $9.99 (or free as part of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate), and on Nintendo Switch.

This is a pretty major overhaul of Quake, and it follows Quake II being improved to run on modern PCs recently. Quake II was modified to run with ray tracing in 2019, and Nvidia released the project as Quake II RTX to demonstrate its RTX line of GPUs.

You can also still play the original 55MB Quake on a Windows PC today, but the Steam version doesn’t include high resolution widescreen support and the controls are awkward by today’s standards.

Honestly if they fixed the blurry texture bug so we don't have to manually edit the file then I don't really feel the game needs a remaster. It still looks great in 1920x1080, small panels are readable and the texture look smooth enough for it to still be visually appealing. Would rather get a sequel

[ARMVDA]

+1 if id would replace all devs working on quake because if they released remastered q4 now it would be a disgrace.

I replayed Quake 4 recently, and it's still great game.
