I love how you can pretty much tell how the review is gonna go just by looking at the timestamps around "Things I don't like" Also, I appreciate the mention of how it wasn't the first fully 3D fps... that fact gets swept under the carpet by a lot of people who should know better, and it does a disservice to a couple of my other favourite games :)

True. Bethesda definitely seems to have learned from the mistakes they made with the latest Doom ports, 'cause they seem to have resisted the temptation to make most of the same bizarre decisions I heard they were making there -- and they were a lot clearer in communicating what this was intended to be.
@mrbigglezworth42 2 жыл бұрын
Having played the original from Steam, the only thing I really wanted was the soundtrack that strangely doesn't play natively on said Steam version and I had to go elsewhere to make the game actually play said music. The Nightdive version still plays more or less the same but with no music issue, so that's nice of them.

The game is about as old as me, but I first played it in 2000s. I remember around 2005, with my outdated Pentium II 233 MHz, Quake was acquired for free as shareware, it is playable until the first episode ending: Chthon. The shareware game was widely known during the time where most people who owned PC were mostly dominated with Windows 98 as OS, but full version of it was not popular in my country.

I used to absolutely hate fps games. Im 17 so i only saw fps games as boring military games that are just slow monotonous multiplayer games, but then I found civvie and your channel, (specifically the what is a boomer shooter video) and was convinced to give doom 1 a shot. Best decision of my gaming life right there. I ended up during the summer steam sale buying a ton pf retro fps games. Dusk, Amid Evil, Ultrakill, Hrot, Nightmare Reaper, Ion fury, Wrath and Prodeus. I also got all the best old fps games. Apogee throwback pack, Return to castle wolfenstien, heretic , Hexen 1 and 2, Turok 1 and 2, and quake 1-3. I just want to thank creators like you for introducing these games to a new generation and for all these games for me to play. edit: somehow forgot to mention i had doom 2016 and eternal along with the holy trinity PS: if you have any more suggestions please tell me lol.

I could imagine a modern Quake game being pretty excellent, cranking up the raw power and speed to 11 with a fucking DEMOLISHING industrial soundtrack backing the action. Hopefully the remaster can generate enough interest that Quake can get the sequel it deserves, horrifying Lovecraftian evil and all

I bought the game on Steam sometime back, and was very pleasantly surprised at being given the remaster for free. Other publishers would have simply charged you for it. Multiplayer was a blast. Chaotic and can get laggy, but that's always been the case or Quake online. Quake was the first game I had put serious time playing deathmatch, and playing the remaster, it felt like reliving my childhood again (yes, I played this game as a kid lol). The game does have some technical issues, but they seem easily fixable, so I'm overall very happy with the remaster. Sadly, on the Steam forums at least, there's a lot of hate towards the remaster. Some hardcore purists are claiming movement isn't exactly the same as the original, and the changes to Nightmare means they can't simply rocket jump around for speed runs anymore. Some people are also calling the remaster 'not Quake' because the base game is wrapped around Nightdive's KEX Engine despite the game being demo perfect. Then there's some people stoking up groundless fears that an official remaster means Bethesda is going to clamp down on source ports and make the game closed source. They're extremely vocal in shutting down any reasonable discourse in the Steam forums and aren't backing down until the remaster is removed outright.

I was ten years old when the original Quake came out and was blown away by the 3d in the game. Yes the PC version of this you still have the option to play the original vanilla game and save files. This remaster was a great surprise. I have the Doom,Doom2,Doom 64, Turok 1 &2 Duke Nukem 3d remasters on Switch and PC. Oh i pre-ordered Quake physical disc for PS4 on Limited Run Games website. Great in depth video on an iconic game.

Coincidentally I beat Quake for the first time 1 month ago. I enjoyed it, but due to the lack of soundtrack and it's age I didn't have the stamina to tackle the expansions. Currently I'm slowly beating Quake II. Suddenly this was released, and now I'm playing the expansions with the improvements and music and it's a very fun experience. Though I still can't figure out how to keybind guns to different keys so I find myself using the wheel. Awesome video as always, and awesome game.

Open the console with the key below Esc, then type: bind g impulse 6 (this will bind the grenadelauncher to g) and bind r impulse 7 (rocket launcher on r) and bind e impulse 8 (lightninggun on e) and bind q impulse 5 (super nailgun on Q)... also you can change the mouse sensitivity by using the cl_sensitivity command (this allows to set sensitivities with a higher floating point precision than the slider in the options menu e.g. 1.53 instead of 1.5)

Playing this at the moment and thoroughly enjoying it. A great game that is constantly engaging. This was my first video game on my first PC and it still has the magic and tension I first felt. Maybe I have an old school bias but anything I played post HL2 or Farcry felt like a movie where they let me play some set pieces occasionally. If you have never played Quake you are in for an immersive treat and the value for money is ridiculously good. I can usually play just one level a session, not because I get bored but because I need a breather.

I played this when originally released. Few of my friends had PCs capable of running it but I got numerous people hooked, that turned into regular sleepover LAN parties at friends houses, even staying behind school because they had a huge network of PCs that very few school had in such numbers. Many a school hour when we should have been doing work was spent playing Quake. I spent hours playing massive amounts of expanded user created content, quake really blew the modding scene wide open. I even made modded some mods to create my own cocktail of mods. Quake was a game in its own right, but so much more. And this remaster is excellent. I hope other mods reach this new version, but my hats off to the devs who have very carefully and respectful bought one of the best video games ever created to a new audience. My hat goes off to them.

They already did knocked it out of the park for me with the 2 Turok games which was an awesome surprise since I used to play them back in the days on the N64. Now just gotta wait for Turok 3 hopefully. Plus now that we have a remaster of Quake 1, I wanna see what they can do with Quake 2.

Everyone who has a Switch and likes doom and quake, NightDive studios also remade Strife, it’s an excellent 90s FPS/light rpg on the doom engine.

You know instead of the weapon wheel, I love how the dpad quick weapon select works. Cycling different categories of weapon (shotguns, machineguns, explosives, special) really allows to quickly switch weapons on the fly. Takes a little bit of getting used to but it feels good switching back and forth for the situation at hand, this way.

I actually used the weapon wheel quite extensively when I played the remaster. It's such a great thing to have for those weapons that are further in the numbers section of the keyboard and I don't have to stretch to quick select.

Many in the quake community have mentioned that movement feels off, especially walking back is slower and there are some console command fixes for that. Hopefully that gets a patch soon as well as the other issues people have had.

I was 6 when this incredible stuff came out. I remember around 2002 I was playing it on a Voodoo 2, and a crappy CRT monitor I barely saw anything. It was creepy. Its so atmospheric, well designed fun game with a huge modding community.

Well I never played Quake back in the day because I thought it was a step down from Doom, but I just finished it on Nightmare using a controller and I have to say that it still holds up pretty well and it's amazingly playable.

Man you were pretty intense in this review. Not in your narrating tone, but definitely in writing (You even used some creative naughty words there). You still did good but that first half of the video wasn't your characteristic joyful self. That new episode does look like a breath of fresh air though, makes me want to play it. Most of the games you review make me want to try them at least. Thanks for the entertaining video.

Thank you for this video, there is a surprising lack of reviews of this remastered This game was a big part of my childhood, but I never was able to play the proper original version of it I had Quake 64 instead. Which was a great Port, but now it's awesome to really see what the game actually was. Never mind all of the improvements

You could've gotten any PC release (even a DOS release of the game) and then installed a popular Source Port of the game engine to play it on a modern PC.

I was introduced as a little kid to Quake II on the N64. Man the memories. But when this game was announced I was like "yeah I've never seen Quake I. I'm down" Now up to the final stage on normal in my first ever blind playthrough with the Witch mother or something and I'm having loads of fun with this on my Xbox Series X. Despite how hard it is it just has a way of making you want to keep going. I've never played a challenging game that's so addictive. What great value for 15 dollars.

Very nice review, I agree it needs a crosshairs customized and high res hud elements. If you want to play the Quake 64 addon but without the blurry CRT filter you can turn it off in the console on Pc, I think it’s r_crtmode 0 to turn off iirc.

Happy to note, that I've been playing through the original game, and first two expansions so far, and I don't think I've run into any of the bugs you've listed so far. And for the couple of months I've had it on my PC's it's been getting nearly weekly updates. Last one I saw was some tweaks for online play and maps.

This was a fantastic expose' on one of the most beloved PC games of all time! I've played the original Quake on and off since running it on my Pentium 1 PC with a 3DFX Voodoo2 card.. This is one of my top played games of all time along with the original Doom games and the two Half-Life titties. You're an excellent wordsmith in the way you talk about this game and I honestly can't imagine a better script than this.

I'm very looking forward to getting my hands on this and really hope arcane dimensions gets released onto the add-ons, cuz I've heard it's really good, much like death wish for blood
