PS1 Multiplayer Maps

[soupjake]

I used to play Quake 2 loads on PS1 but I don't recognise any of the multiplayer maps in this. Did the PS1 version of the game have different maps?

Edit: Yeah looks like the PS1 version had it's own maps:

Cold Storage
Warehouse
Aquaplex
Coliseum
Mainframe
Quickfire
Captivity
The Shaft
Hydrophobia
Toxic Vats
The Forge
Badlands

Do we know if there's a chance these could be added?

I know all of the N64 Multiplayer maps have been added, it's a shame they didn't add the PS1 Multiplayer maps, but they did add the PS1 Exclusive Enemies!

Maybe some maps here are better than the PS1 versions...

There are rumors of a future inclusion of the PSX's campaign, so adding more multiplayer maps wouldn't be too far fetch.

I remember a pretty cool one with a pool in the middle filled with poison water and a overpowered weapon at the bottom (probably "Toxic Vats"?). Ah, playing it using a multi tap was awful beyond belief but I have fond memories of those sessions.

I don't know about the multiplayer maps, but one of the Night Dive devs has been recreating the PS1 campaign maps as a personal mod project (ie, not as an official update to the remaster).

PS1 campaign isn't that interesting to me, tbh. I don't recall it being anything special. Impressive for ps1, yes, but nothing much in comparison to PC version as it was mostly the same thing. N64 at least had a different campaign.

But multiplayer maps can be really nice to have. They were designed around 2-4 players in the first place, so they'd be nice to have in the remaster with it's split screen support.

Yes, i want to see these maps too.
By the way, PS1 version of Quake 2 has better graphics.

Quake 2 N64 had better visuals over all and the sounds were closer to the PC, PS1 version while nice, had a lot of compromises, sure it has lens flares and everything and fully 3D gun models, but the visuals and sound take a huge hit. The Marine sounds were all high pitched as well. the PS1 version is a technical marvel though.

apparently they're going to add the PS1 port.

whats your source?

Night Dive's Discord. 6000 ANGRY BEES stated it before in this same thread.

Me and my friends wanted to play on PS5 to remember good days back from PS1, but we weve unleasantly surprised that there were no maps from PS1 in multiplayer. Shame...
Hope, that they will be added.

На ps1 были отличные компактные карты, а тут огромные мерзкие карты как будто на 100 человек. Если вдвоём играть, можно полчаса друг друга искать. В общем, без старых карт в локалке делать нечего

It's 2024, still nothing.

It exists and is currently in beta. It will be released on Moddb when it's ready, I have no idea if multiplayer maps will be part of it, there aren't any in the beta though.
