Quake 1 and 2

[B33troot]

I played the original Quake around 24 years ago. I was thinking about it the other day and decided to look it up. To my pleasant surprise, remastered versions of Quake 1 and 2 were available on Steam on discount.

Picked up both games without a second thought, so now I have something to do in my free time.

Replaying Quake 1 right now and I'm enjoying every bit of it. I've forgotten most of the game so playing through it feels like a new experience for the most part. IIRC, in the original version you couldn't aim with your mouse and had to press buttons to look up and down. But in the remastered version, it plays like a modern FPS.

The character models and graphics have been slightly enhanced but still have that blocky "lo-fi" look of the original. It doesn't matter to me because the game play is solid.

Quake 2 will be a whole new experience for me as I've never played it before. But based on what I've seen in the trailers and gameplay videos, I know I'll enjoy playing it.

Good times ahead!

It's worth it.

The Steam version includes all the official expansion packs.

In the last couple of days, I beat Quake 1 and 3 of the 4 expansion packs. I'm currently half way through the 4th EP called "Dimension of the Machine". It's reeeally good in terms of visuals and level design.

Finished Quake 1 and Quake 2 and the expansion packs/extra content that came with them. Really enjoyed it and felt like I needed more, so I picked up Quake 4 a while ago. If it runs fine, I'll have something new to play.

Nice, have fun with Quake 4 br0. It's different from the first 2 games but still pretty good.

Quake wars was literally one of the best games ive ever played, and the concept itself absolutely mogs modern trash games
to hell and back.
I remember me as a kid playing the game, and it was massive lifefuel for me.
This thread makes me nostalgic

Hated that game with my friend like you wouldn't believe way back in middle school what a disappointment after 10/10 Wolfenstein Enemy Territory they have released that BF like slop but with worse gameplay. They've been missing with wolf et every single time and now their company looks like this :

Don't forget to play some of the best community made wads for Quake when you have finished.

Quake was breathtaking at the time although I also loved Duke Nukem 3D.

Quake 2 is probably my favourite FPS ever. Possibly tied with Fear 2

Quake 2 is probably my favourite FPS ever.

Not a huge fan of the sequel. Enemies are bullet-spongy and lots of cheap areas that weren't play tested in the DLC.

Nightdive is excellent with their remasters. The Quake remasters are amazing.

I definitely like Quake 1 more than Quake 2 though, just generally.
