I love how it still looks chunky and low-poly. They could have made it super high res and fancy, but nah, they're preserving the retro aesthetic.

These games were how I got into 3D modeling.
Making custom maps and assets and playing them for Doom 1&2, Quake 1&2, Quake 3 Arena, UT2014.
These games had such great longevity because you could make your own new content or get it from others.
The game you bought was just the beginning.
Also the base games were wicked fun to begin with.
I still play quake and doom and hexen and heretic and a whole bunch of others. Gog.com is my favourite place to buy games if I can get them there.
I also dabbled in 3d modelling back then in 3d studio max or something. I used to love it, now I just don't have the time 🤣.

AND! They’re giving us crossplay co-op and deathmatch all for the ridiculous total price of 10$
Edit: wording
It's a free upgrade on PC if you own the game on Steam. Really decent for them to go that route rather than a paid upgrade.
It's also free on gog if you own the original.
Wow that’s sick. Unfortunately became an xbox user a couple of years back, but this means I got more games to play with my pc friends
Worth noting that the Quake 2 RTX code is on github as well. Hopefully someone enterprising will combine the two.

Now if they could just remaster my faded FPS skills...
Anyone else starting to experience hand fatigue while gaming or am I the only actual old person here?
I've been thinking of using a trackball instead
I like trackballs for general productivity but I haven’t seen one good for gaming.
If you haven't already, you might also consider a vertical mouse. That fixed my capital tunnel, trackball didn't help for me

Fuck. YES.
Greatest railgun in gaming.
Quake 3 railgun FTW. Its all I used to play in the late 90's
Action Quake 2 remastered?
I hope so, was my favorite mod back in the day..
I love seeing this stuff! I really started PC gaming around 1995, but by the time Quake 2 came out, my old 75mhz Pentium Acer couldn't keep up, so I didn't get to play Quake 2. But it does my heart good to see these classics get loving remasters.
You needed that sweet sweet Pentium II with MMX technology.
Oh shit… Quake 2 CTF was my jam
CTF was epic on Quake 2. Many many hours spent on my 56k.
Same here. And look how long it's taken for grappling hooks to be reintroduced to gaming.
I'm sad it doesn't work with Quake 2 RTX, I still find that to be prettier.

I used to love Quake II, I'm definitely installing since I own it on Steam.
Lost count of the amount of time I spent playing Q3 Arena though... Damn that was sweet.

Quake 2 is so back. Hopefully we get some awesome user made MP maps!!!! Can't wait to jump into the new expansion too!
Is the original soundtrack with it?
Sonic Mayhem, baby!
Yup, and they're releasing it on vinyl as a collector's edition too.
Anybody remember the mods for this where you had a gun that would dispense bricks so you could build stuff? There was also a mini-nuke mod that you could use to blow up said constructions. It was one of my favorite things to do in Quake II and would often result in my computer crashing because it couldn't handle all the collision physics.
Played the campaign last night and got reminded of the enemies that would fall to the floor and still shoot you. That was my biggest annoyance with quake 2 and still is 😂 what an amazing game though
Does it have a "software rendering" looking mode?
I always thought games of this era looked better in software rendering vs those n64 esque shaders
They have a CRT mode and it renders the game in a low resolution. It’s pretty hideous imo though.

Had a quick blast on multiplayer last night, and promptly got my ass kicked while doing so - great fun though!
No way I was going to rebuy this game so it’s nice as an upgrade. Use to play a bunch of years ago online by patching the demo. Could only play custom maps though because the server wouldn’t let me download base game ones.
Just saw the tylermcviker video and it seems like an amazing rework. Like THE rework of a game.
