This remaster is excellent

[NT]

I love Quake II, I've been playing it for decades. I just wanted to say: this is how you do a remaster of an older game.

You fix the annoying stuff, you modernize the options, you add new content that matches the base quality, and you keep the soul. That's it.

On top of that, it's just a free update if you already own the game.

If you haven't bought this game yet, do it.

Right on brother

[Soulmarine]

Agreed

[bobbie424242]

Yup it is, with Bethesda / Nightdive going waaay beyond of a quick job.

The security annex level is what I want in a Doom/Quake game, this level is excellent. Doom 3 fans rejoice

[Alabeo]

Indeed. Nightdive is killing it. Quake 1 remaster was fantastic.

[Salander]

The multiplayer is frenetic as hell, love it!

[☆VK☆]

yes sounds good probly gona revisit it saturday gona get all nostalgia and cry

I should also add: let the players run the original version of the game, which is possible in this case. Choice is important.

Amazing job, really.

[HyperEgretVI]

It plays really nice. I like it!

[.:Jj:.]

It's pretty great. They even added fairly deep crosshair customization. The only thing I was really missing after they released an update for Quake 1.

Runs super smooths, looks great. On headphones sound fantastic. Shooting feels so much better.
And it's free! Mentioned above GTA 'remastered' Trilogy was a disgrace in comparison.

Yeah, also try coop. Bunny hoppping and blasting enemies with railguns is super satisfying. I almost feel bad for enemies that are getting obliterated almost instantly after being aggro.

I just played through the first two units in co-op through crossplay with some cool people and I have to say: ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥. This is something I wouldn't imagine coming true ever, and it's just dropped on us like nothing.

Is the options and the "qol" stuff mandatory or toggle?

[Kind.]

Yeah. I'm thinking WE'RE BACK.

Some stuff is mandatory, but there is a big chance it would be toggle in the future.

It seems like they've dramatically improved / fixed my least favorite official Quake series expansion, Ground Zero. It had so many design flaws that spoiled the fun for me. Now, the Tesla mines are actually effective, as is the landmine launcher (it no longer activates with you nearby).

I only briefly played it, so I wasn't able to check if the wall turrets still didn't nearly ruin the later parts of the expansion.

Also nice to see a N64 Quake II 'port'. N64 Quake II has some cool levels, but playing it with a controller was definitely inferior to M&K. Emulation of it has been pretty spotty in the past too.

EDIT: A fellow poster informed me, and I verified with level select, that turrets now have lasers on them! Fantastic enhancement that A: Tells you where these obnoxious hidden dangers are and B: Helps to avoid where they will shoot!
