We all thank you for Quake IV, Heretic and HeXen.

are you guys still trapped in the call of duty mines? we need a new soldier of fortune!

Youre games are awesome youre developers and artists have a good imagination

@@Sam1destroyer "Your'" shows posession, whereas "you're" is a contraction of "you are". Why do so many people write such poor english? It can't all be autocorrect.

@@stephensalex think you’re thinking to deeply bro and yes my pronunciation is crap I’ve killed a lot of brain cells with weed bro, I’m not getting locked up by the grammar police am I?

It works because even the NPCs who haven't been killed yet already look like utterly lifeless taxidermied mannequins lol. Sub surface scattering wasn't a feature of id tech 4.

Same :-)

Same. :D

Quake 4 is actual good or at least the last half of the game is

Yes 👌

I hope after Quake and Quake 2, they will continue with Quake 3 and Quake 4.

👍

I'm hoping for this. And I want controller support. I hate playing FPS games with a mouse and keyboard. It's just too easy and feels like cheating. You don't really aim with a mouse. You simply point and click on the enemy. Lame.

@@TurnerTurnip It's the only Way to play Fps games. Mouse and keyboard.

@@TurnerTurnip>You don't really aim with a mouse. >You simply point and click so one could say... you aim with a mouse... How is that any different than pointing the joystick in the general direction and pulling a trigger lol

Can we plz call this game quake 2 2?

@@guysmiley4830 lol sure

I'd argue even more so. The distant screams, the dark rooms, the blood caked everywhere... It was plenty fucked up in Q2, but Q4 was straight up horror.

I was beast of a game, graphics was so advanced at time you needed good pc

I almost forgot about this. Yes, this was great too, another cool feature within this game

Unless you live in Germany where it’s BANNED

​@@AstralWolf86why Bro?

​@@AstralWolf86really? Why?

Fun fact, the Makron didn't survive! Another one took his place. That, plus the ground assault going to shit at every turn, has me convinced the Big Gun, and by extension Quake 2's mission, was a trap designed to lure us into launching a full scale assault we couldn't win. Like they were *ready* for us.

​@@RegalRoyalWasTaken Another Makron? What makes you think that? I thought it was supposed to be his name, not a class or rank or anything. Moreover i clearly remember Strauss screaming "It's *The* Makron", not "*a* Makron".

@@Youda00008 From the manual for the Reckoning; "The Strogg civilisation is governed through a system of Warlords. Each is given strategic locations to command and control. A single leader, called the Makron, is chosen from the Warlords." This also explains why Q4's Makron looks so wildly different; he's a different Strogg entirely.

Interesting, thanks.

@@Youda00008 youre welcome! Ive been studying quake lore a lot recently haha, Ive been conceptualizing a reboot for fun

Nah, the game was well rated, the only cool thing that it had was the graphics, because the good gameplay came just when you get stroggified, and we all know why we play id software games

Q4 looks like a pure garbage from the gameplay angle. Yeah, “the graphics”, but Q1 and Q3 are the actual gameplayish games.

Great Great times

yeah that is one of the best cut-scene/sequences I have experienced in any shooter game.

I would love some prequel from the invasion of Earth. We hear everyone talking about it, so we could finally see it on our own.

​@@Youda00008Enemy Territory: Quake Wars?

@@calebzombie But that's only multiplayer.

@@Youda00008 True, gives us at least some lore though

Quake 3 was not lovecraftian if memory serves. It was space themed but not strogg themed. Lovecraftian one is Quake.

@@user-ue1ji4du2q That can be said yes.

Yeah most Q2 fans didn't like Q4 much either. Most of that was technical, and related to choices Raven made with regards to the "feel" of the game, the combat, etc. The story was predictable, but decent, level design was good too. The rest was a mixed bag at best. Even trying to mod the game was a chore compared to previous titles. And that's where all these games survived. While there was initial excitement, and some mods, the community as a whole took a hard pass on this.

@@m0deth I think Quake 4 is a solid game overall.

This is a bit late of course, but you actually touched on some history there. Originally, Quake II was intended to be a completely different franchise, but after trying several titles that turned out to already be trademarked, id gave up and just called the game "Quake II".

I’d argue the best port of quake 2 up until this recent remaster. Amazing port!

@@BLUEPELICAN234 Definitely

It's definitely a franchise with an identity crisis. Doom has always been doom, even with the drastic changes with Doom 3. Quake needs a reboot.

Why was such a ridiculous restriction applied though? Never seen anything like this.

@@yurkoflisk Probably because the German version was cut in content for excessive violence reasons and therefor miss matched with the international versions which were put on the German BPjM index.

@@armorgeddon I would guess something like Stroggification scenes were removed/altered, but these are in campaign. Multiplayer maps shouldn't be affected by this. Maybe there was some checksum checking or other anticheat technique for checking the game files validity/sameness for all players, but it shouldn't be much more difficult to support two versions.

@@yurkoflisk Sure, it wouldn't have been impossible to still make it work between versions, but I guess the German publisher thought it wasn't worth the cost since the indexing of Quake 4 meant that it would sell next to no copies in Germany. In fact barely anyone in my circles knows of Quake 4's existence much like other indexed games which is no wonder since once indexed the press and media wasn't even allowed to name those titles or at least the didn't fearing legal consequences. So when a gaming magazine couldn't avoid mentioning such a game for example to provide context for an article they'd use replacement names such as "Beben", which is the German word for Quake. When indexed games were played in Germany in 99,9% it was a pirated copy.

100%

Quake 4 and DOOM 3 are mine in both series

I'm sure it will. It'll most likely be like what Doom 3 BFG edition is.

I was in the middle of quake 4 before getting the red ring of death back in the day, but i do remember having that port of quake 2 as well that came with

I dont think you know what underrated means chief
