Quake 2 remastered

[DeGreZet]

Damn, I wish for remaster of my favorite fps of all time. Just like ID did with Q1 - some qol improvments, resolution fixed and textures rescale, some new maps and mods support, nothing more needed.

would be sick. q2rtx comes close. but a newer engine like id tech 5 or newer would be amazing

Release Date
December 9, 1997

soon will be the 25th of Quake 2.It's likely that something will happen. Q2 RTX is more of a fan project picked up by nvidia.

Yeah it's seems like they're trying to drum up some quake interest these days. Hopefully a Q2 remaster and new game announcement at quakecon.

There's been rumors about a Quake reboot for a couple years, also Id has been recently hiring for a "long running iconic FPS".

Quake1 remaster wasn't a coincidence and quake2 is the same price, its coming you can bet on it.

[Revelator]

Yamagi brings some nice quality of life improvements, but Q2 getting the Q1 treatment? Oh yes, that would be awesome, especially new episodes, native bot support, and Horde mode.

I'd honestly rather Quake 2 getting a much more deserved full on remake.
With how well Half Life Black Mesa went, people have shown they are up for a remade/re-envisioned FPS that tells a story without cutscenes or massive dialogue

hope we'll get announcement around autumn

If they ever release Quake2 remastered, I hope they will include all expansions + Zaero

I was thinking the same idea. I was just playing the Quake source port they released for owners of the game, and it's fantastic. Lots of nice graphical updates that make it more friendly to the modern eye, but, critically, it maintains the visual style and feel of the original game. It's so customizable too, like a GZDoom for Quake. A new official episode is nice--I've yet to check it out, though. (Still never finished the 90s Quake expansions either, though I loved the levels I got through).

Perhaps best of all, the cross-platform multiplayer (and renewed attention to the game) means old-school Quake Deatmatch is back, baby! Seriously fraggin' awesome. (sorry bad pun). But still, even after loads of Battlefield, CoD, etc. heck even UT and Quake 3/Live, there's something special about Quake 1's deathmatch that makes it some of the best, most fun deathmatch fragging experience of all time. And now thanks to the source port, it's alive again!!!

Quake II on the Yamagi source port has always 1 server running at least, from tastyspleen.net. Which is cool, but if we could get an official source port re-release from id, I imagine we'd see an increase in both server count and players for Quake II. Bring this baby back too!!!

We already had a remake of sorts/sequel for Quake 2...that was Quake 4.

Do we *really* need another?
If you're going to make a new Quake, make it a new setting.

Original Quake II is fine as is. But a high quality source port with more modern features to make it accessible to more people could really help restore its online playerbase.
