- Checking out and giving my first impressions on the enhanced remastered edition of Quake 1 from Nightdive Studios! Not a full review and I didn't do any research beforehand, I just hooked up a modern gaming PC to some retro peripherals and started playing and rambling at 1024x768. It's pretty neat stuff.
literally looks like how the original looks in your memory ha love it.
Maybe because of the old ass monitor
@@linclokatz yeah that but also it just looks a lot more clean. maybe its just me, im not really a gamer but quake is one of me fave along with total annihalation, transport tycoon and duke nukem 3d are probably the only titles that id say i played loads of... but yeah i installed the original a year or so back on a window 95 computer. and remembered it looking clunkier than i remembered it.......so i mean it more like this version looks like it looked in my memory of the game when i was a kid.... when the reality was a bit more clunky if you get me :D
Great point! I love it
Exactly!!
@@LOOKMUMNOCOMPUTER I tend to prefer original graphics for most older games
I love how Clint is excited by seeing EGA in Hercules mode on a green phosphor monitor, and ALSO excited by the latest ambient occlusion settings. Really never met a graphics he didn’t like
Graphics sure are neat.
wait, you can use Hercules to show EGA graphics? I have to see this.
@@MontieMongoose i may have been exaggerating for effect, it’s been years since I watched his monochrome monitor review
@@MontieMongoose Not sure about EGA, but you can use programs like SIMCGA to run CGA software through Hercules cards! With mixed results.
@@LGRBlerbs Yeah, I I've used that before, but I've never heard of doing it with EGA. I mean it probably is possible, I just don't think I've ever heard of anyone doing it.
Happy you are enjoying this, we really worked our asses off on this one. Nothing's ever going to launch perfect but so far the issues seem minor.
Amazing job, runs like a dream, and the visual bells and whistles all feel natural and appropriate to Quake's... Quakeyness. I'm excited to dig into the new content!
Ohh Hey @QuasarEE! I take it you were on the team that produced this remake? Or was it the new expansion? Speaking of the expansions, tell us what they're all about. I'm sure I'll see them soon, going to buy a Steam key for Quake tonight or tomorrow, but I'm sure if you give a couple details, more folks will decide to buy it! Also, gracias for all your trabajo deficil!!!
The only complaint i heard is some issues with the highest difficulty not being exactly as the original?
I’d like to see quake team fortress running on this
@@real4070 there should be an option for original mode
I audibly laughed at the message on screen “nailed by space cowboy” 😂
My mind was blown when I signed into steam today and saw I had a huge update and the Quake Remaster was just a free upgrade for owning the original game! It's so neat seeing Quake get love, since I feel like it gets overlooked a lot of the time. Looks amazing on your setup!
DUDE SAME LOL! i hope they do something like this with quake 2
Is there also rtx option too ?
@@midnightblue3285 There's no RTX stuff that I noticed in the menus, but the animations on look like they were redone or smoothed out and the game overall just feels like it scales really well to 4k. It's not as visually impressive as the Quake 2 RTX thing was, but its neat nonetheless
Whaaaat, I didn't know that -- that's awesome
0:56 that scene is bringing back so many memeories of my first pc. A friend of mine and his cousin installed quake on my pc using a a demo disc and an unlock crack. One of my favorite things to do back then when I had a bad day at school was to put in cheat codes and just have fun with rocket jumps and the nail gun. Loved the game so much I later bought it and the the first two sequels. And they say piracy doesn't creat paying customers.
This channel is like going round to a friend's place and they show you some cool crap they found. I feel like we should all go fpr pizza and a beer after this.
I'm in lockdown, can you deliver them to me?
I’ll drink the beer if you buy the pizza!
I really miss those days, but unfortunately it's hard to justify going to a friend's place daily especially with covid around 😔
@@susu5331 are you in a city? I'm in a suburban area and I see my friends constantly. What other justification than "I want to see my friend" do you need? Unless you live with your grandmother or someone especially vulnerable I guess.
@@subarashiiashi3894 I am living in a city and since my friends and I all go to different universities, it would be almost impossible to meet a lot (I would need to spend hours on a train or bus)
Nice! It's good to see that water warping from vQuake is *finally* on another version.
Finally we officially get the Quake we deserved for so many years.. including the music!
Loving the dynamic lighting and no-fuss click and play gameplay. As much as I love Quake I never really played the expansion packs before. This is a good opportunity to finally do so.
This is one game where I hope that you only have to go into one menu to select the levels the original quake that I got from GOG has three desktop icons which means I had to make three steam configs basically you make one and then you have to copy and paste it but they don't make the process super seamless.
Also you have to download a program that can rip the music from an official CD for some reason.
@@bland9876 I showed it briefly in the video, but all episodes and levels are selectable from the menus now :)
Personally I do not care about the music. The best thing NIN ever did was write "Hurt" and that is only a good thing because of the Johnny Cash version.
We have been playing Quake thru source ports forbyears now, all made by the community for free and Better than this "remaster", including the music . Only took a few seconds to setup. And best of all no bethestha always online crap
Yeah, the online crap is annoying and unnecessary as always. But believe it or not but there are a *lot* of lazy gamers out there who just want to lean back and play their Quake straight out of the box without any bothersome extra steps or workarounds. For those this is an excellent way to get into it. Besides, this update - including extra maps - is also for free as long as you've got the base game (which you - officially - should buy anyway for the WADs, whether you use source ports or not), no reason not to at least try it out. Of course there is also nothing stopping anyone from keep using the ports, which are also quite excellent in their own way :)
The smooth enemy animations are a big change, so noticeable when you're used to Quake's choppy animation
The interpolation can be disabled if you want the old style back
@@colbyboucher6391 Yeah, nothing about this is exciting if you have used any of the existing, open-source ports before. Like *QuakeSpasm* for vanilla-like game or *Darkplaces* + mods for lighting, normal maps and modernized effects. The community has already taken good care of the game.
@@Kaucukovnik666BUT, this is something people can just download and play with minimal faff, on modern console platforms even.
Me, I'll keep playing it on Dark places, but it's nice that other people will get to experience it on something like it's full glory.
Saw this was a thing, grabbed it on Switch immediately. Night Dive coming through as always with that good stuff. Quake 64 also available as a free download. Splitscreen MP for up to 4 players? Online MP? I'm more excited about this than any new game coming out this year, dude.
Calm down.. it's sadly no real Multiplayer unless you sign in for Bethesda net with a third party account... -_- This is absolutely against what Quake stood for... But this is exactly what i expected from a scam publisher like Bethesda/ZeniMax.
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 But it does have splitscreen. That's offline, right?
@@obvfw Well i mean Quake Multiplayer should not require a third party account. It has always been integrated for both LAN and Online Multiplayer. Hosting and Joining servers was never behind an account-wall.
Is there really a Switch version? Is it a physical version?
@@KRAFTWERK2K6 lol its just an extra log in you can still play quake dude
NightDive Studio creates amazing remasters. Glad the og soundtrack is back
The GOG Version always had the Soundtrack. Only the Steam version lacked it since it was only the DOS version with added Steam DRM and no CD audio.
I want them to remaster the three 3rd person Duke Nukem games that were on the consoles.
@@Noname15514 That's be awesome. I loved "Duke Nukem Zero Hour" on the N64. Never played "Land of the Babes" though.
I hope they fix the issues they introduced with the new updates soundtrack though, search for the video: "The issue with Nightdives Quake 2021 Soundtrack"
But their discord is terrible
I love how blerbs feels like we’re closer to the content creation and creator!! Awesome content 🙏
@@alexanderzerka8477 I don't see how "content creator" is a worse term than "CZcamsr". "CZcamsr" just makes me think of annoying vlogs.
Content content creator creates content
@@alexanderzerka8477 youtubers create content. Therefor they are content creators. I don’t know how such a name can count towards propaganda.
I'm loving Quake all over again. So glad those of us who already own it get this updated version for free.
Overwhelmed to see Quake Remaster contents from two of my favs youtubers - specially when one was part of the development team - @Modern Vintage Gamer, and the other, the BEST possible reviewer for this game, @LGR! Truly awesome!
IMPORTANT NOTE: The Nightmare difficulty in this port is Hard, but you're locked at half normal health. This actually makes the game harder as the OG Nightmare difficulty had Ogres, Deathknights and Scrags largely stay immobile and just spam projectiles at you. Made it very easy to pick them off at long ranges. It does make Shamblers and Vores easier, however, since they're slower to attack than OG Nightmare. That said, the game doesn't throw a lot of either at you so it makes the game overall harder since the melee monsters will actually box you in more. Plus 50 HP cap. Also unlike OG Nightmare, monsters can be stunned here.
Just enable god mode. You can also edit the config file to map keys to commands that you would type in the console. So you can turn on god mode by pressing the G key, for example.
Why? I don't consider making vanilla Quake harder as a negative. Quake 1 is on the easier side normally.
@@colbyboucher6391 It makes such a huge difference. Rooms really do end up being kinda distinct combat encounters and you can only make x-amount of mistakes depending on how many med kits are available. Things can 2-3 shot you in Nightmare and it happens quick. I've found the playthrough to actually be really punishing and I'm enjoying it.
Ah, that's what the "copper" mod used to do, so much more enjoyable and challenging.
It's pretty fun. Occasionally frustrating because some of the fights are definitely NOT intended with 50 HP in mind. The exit area at the end of Ebon Keep is the most recent level to give me a few issues, but I had even less health going into that. First time I quicksaved in my playthrough.
I imagine that a future build will include OG nightmare as a menu switch. I doubt they'd edit the start maps to make an actual in-game switch a la Quake 1.5, but then again, Nightdive just might.
I wasn't aware you had a second channel, so I'm glad this video was recommended to me after watching the trailer for this remaster which I also hadn't know about beforehand. So many good surprises! Anyway, I played _Quake_ *keyboard only* on DOS, so I'm really optimistic about how it will control on a twin-stick gamepad.
Man I would **love** to see a reboot of Quake in this kind of dark fantasy universe
Yes! The sci-fi meets gothic medieval fantasy aesthetic of original Quake was really interesting, fun, and unlike anything else at the time. It’s a shame they abandoned the theme in Quake 2 and after. Quake 2 is basically just more Doom, aesthetically.
It's rumoured to be ID"s next project with assistance from Machine Game. Hopefully it's true!
That would be the first Quake I would be interested in since the first Quake!
@@ahandsomefridge Right? I have been waiting with baited breath for Quake to get a major overhaul since what became Quake Champions was announced. I was so disappointed when it turned out to be just another arena shooter. Would love to see Quake get a reboot. So long as it is a single player campaign first and foremost, with multiplayer as a bonus.
@@shableep That's because Quake 2 wasn't supposed to be Quake 2. It was actually supposed to be a different game in the Doom universe.
Thanks SO much for this video. I totally wouldn't have noticed Quake was updated otherwise.
Wow! so much nostalgia in one video. Quake was one of my favorite games from my youth, great to see it remastered. Great content and great gameplay as always Clint! And hell yeah 10 dollars is a great price for this game with so much stuff included. Take care and stay safe Clint. :-)
Hey Clint!
Greetings!
Looks like your recent expedition was a success!
Nightdive did an outstanding job with Shadow Man. My heart exploded (in the best possible way) experiencing that all over again.
Shadowman is still one of my all time favourite games. Nightdive are killing it with these remasters. Powerslave/Exhumed remastered will be their next release, I can't wait. :)
@@mcborge1 I remember playing it so much as a kid and getting absolutely nowhere. Hahaha. I'd beat it many years later on an emulator. Now I'm finally able to get all the souls!
@@the_broly_arms Shadowman was one of the first games I played that I got to know were everything was. The first version I played was the N64 version, I still have the cartridge. :)
And Turok
I can confirm that if you got it like I did on bethesda's launcher back when they gave away the original Quake trilogy, that version ALSO got the remaster upgrade, it's so cool I'm loving the crap out of it!
I'm usually more of a UT99 guy, but til that gets a remaster I'm more than happy to sink several hours into deathmatching folks on Q1HD! (apparently you can also get the Quake 64 maps as well, gonna check those out at some point.)
ok, old quake is the remasted, there is no separate quake hd client
Unreal is only an engine now. Epic thinks it was founded in 2016.
@@Toonrick12 oh yeah I saw what happened to UT2015, it's a crying shame! So even if UT99HD never happens I'll at least have this.
This even has cross-play so Q1HD on console can partake in the arena fragfests (We might get destroyed but all in good fun)
@@colbyboucher6391 You can disable cross-play in the multiplayer part of the options menu. I don't have any fears matching up with PC players at all, I know I'll get curb stomped lmao
such a cool video. great camera angle too.
i like how they also ported doom64 and it makes it look like you are playing on a CRT
also super cool how they brought back multiplayer! i wasnt around when quake 1 came out and only been gaming on pc for under a year but glad i have a chance to experience it!
your channel has some really cool content! subscribed! I would love the chance to have a model m, or even play on the type of setup you have (very clean btw)
5:31 No.. they never added the soundtrack back in the original due to copyright issues. In short, because the soundtrack was made by Nine Inch Nails, they were "owned" by a record company like most musicians. So the record company also owns Quake soundtrack and they made the decision to not allowed them to have the soundtrack in mp3 with the game files, but instead they are recorded tracks on the CD of the game like a regular audio CD. So the only way they work is by having the CD on the driver at all times while playing. With digital copies.. the soundtrack is obviously missing and id doesn't own the rights for it.
Because this remaster is actually a new release and being sold on consoles.. they had to license the soundtrack back to have it in the game.
Nah, they were too lazy to add it to Steam. GOG version has an original soundtrack
@@punishedfiddle4476 That's obviously not true at all. You know nothing about licensing or rights issues, not the least about RedBook Audio and how it works.
Of course, that had the benefit of letting you play the game music in any CD player. And licensing issues notwithstanding it wouldn’t have inherently prevented later releases from including it, even if you needed to accept the hard drive space hit from the PCM, or patch the game to play compressed versions. So the main roadblock was presumably licensing, or rather lack of desire to go back and re-license, until now. Since evidently getting the music licensed again wasn’t impossible either once the parties came together.
There was no license issue, it was just a lazy technical issue. Original game only had Redbook audio and they never bothered to add an alternative playback method from audio files.
When Q1 was released, mp3 playback was a pretty big deal for a lot of computers. Redbook audio was common not because of some weird licensing or DRM but because it allowed developers to offload music to the CD-ROM - which delivered the raw audio to the sound card via a separate cable. The CPU didn't need to be involved at all. Cheap and simple music playback = more CPU cycles for 3D math and game logic, which was definitely needed in this case since the original Quake release was also before 3D accelerator cards became common…
Honestly my favorite thing is the improved models, they still fit the classic art style yet just look so much better...
It certainly needed a model revamp, that's for spit sure.
Oh, well this is a pleasant surprise! Super stoked to try this out later.
this game was SO GOOD man. I've been wanting to play again for a long time, but without the music it's not the same thing. I can't wait to try this
Seeing Clint masterfully play Quake is the exact opposite of watching him play racing games. 😅
Yeah I was impressed by his skills
Playing racing games on a keyboard is awful so I don't blame him
@@SlamBolts Couldn't agree more.
granted, he's playing it in on a normal difficulty level. And since I have not tried the remastered Quake yet, I don't know whether vertical aim assist (sv_aim) is turned on by default (like in the original Quake) or off. Still, he looks like he played the original Quake countless amount of times, so it's not painful to watch:D
on normal...
Texture smoothing is actually the good ol’ bilinear filtering (so it will look like Glide used to, back in the day). Without it, it’s similar to software mode. Anyway, I love that they enhanced the monster animations (which were fixed at 15 fps in the original) and they are now completely smooth.
animation interpolation is in quite a few of the source ports too, I think.
I like the effect, but there's also a staccato, Harryhausen feel to the non interpolated frames that I kind of appeciate. The option of both is very much appreciated.
Dude. I use to have those speakers. Thx for your video. I brought me back good memories
I'm in love with the remaster... its old quake and sooooo pretty. Just bloody love
Back in the day, my PC couldn't play Quake, so i used to rent the N64 version A LOT
Aubrey Hodges' score and the dark fantasy settings conditioned me to play it slowly and methodically, as a survival horror before i even knew what that genre was. It always impresses me when i see Quake players running around everywhere. Imagine my surprise when i got it on Steam two years ago and it felt completely different!
I have gotten the Switch version, it's fantastic, gyro controls feel natural for this game and running around with the controller isn't half bad. I still go through certain places slowly and methodically though, i don't think that's going to change anytime soon.
Anyways, if you decide to get the port on any other platform aside of PC, my recommendation is one that has gyro support, both PS4/PS5 and Switch do, so... it´s your pick.
I feel like i'm going to triple dip soon. It's been so long since Quake had a port on any console that i want to have it EVERYWHERE. Now, here's hoping Quake II follows suit, with a full fledged Quake II 64, wich was a different game altogether.
now we need Arcane Dimensions & Zerstörer - Testament of the Destroyer for this
...in theory those should just work. They do in most other source ports.
@@TheTurnipKing can get them to show up in the remastered version works in darkplaces
@@TheTurnipKing yep did not know of the game gamename command
Had no idea this was a thing! Thanks for the video!
This is sick, I'm buying this tonight when I knock of work.
Just adding the music back makes this new port worth it. Most publishers would charge old customers for an upgrade like this.
If I remember correctly, there were some effects missing from quake if you use the GL render as opposed to software render. I'm more certain that this is also true of the original half life. Particularly with water effects. And who would render in software if you had a 3D accelerator back in the day.
Does this use OpenGL to render? It would be nice to have a Linux version.
@@louistournas120 well I remember downloading a bootleg of quake back in the day, and I remember there being an option/separate executable for "GL quake". My assumption was they added opengl support after the fact.
@@whosonedphone yes, original software render, then Glide, then GL were added after AFAIK
@@whosonedphone feel you, i didnt know that quake had backgroundmusic actually. because i downloaded is from kazaa :3
I literally spent my lunch break yesterday setting up and playing vkQuake, which has toggles to use render the particles and water like the software renderer
God, the sounds. This brings me back to my senior year of high school, playing way to late into the night, then going to school on a couple hours sleep.
THANK you for bringing this to my attention.
So I had no idea this was being released today. I logged into Steam with the intention of playing a totally different game, and I saw that this had been released. Didn't even know they were working on it -- that's how surprised I was. Of course, I immediately bought it ($9.99? Duh. No brainer, that.) And I spent about 2 hours playing it. Man, it brought back some memories. I don't think I'd played it since the '90s. Really looking forward to doing some multiplayer when I have the time -- we had a big group of friends back in the day who would have LAN parties and play Quake for HOURS. :-) So cool that this remaster is so much like the original.
Edit: I didn't already own Quake on Steam -- bought it for the first time tonight. And it *does* come with the "original" version, so I could choose to play that if I wanted to.
No one had idea.
They released it by surprise.
I remember the LAN party days. 95 guys on counterstrike, and 4 on quake.
Nothing like opening Steam and finding out Quake has been remastered with multiplayer servers.
Not via SteamPlay but only via Bethesda Net. So yeah.. fuck that.
Nice man, really enjoying the Quake update. Makes me want to dig out my old CRT tho hah
Dude I'm so happy. This takes me back to the days of my Pentium that I built as the first system that was truly my own
I literally just started playing Quake for the first time today lmao.
I said nearly the same thing.... back in 1995!
More Quake! Shout out to the Quakers!
"Quake is good for you."
New Subscriber here, Thank you for posting this video! It took me right back to the 90's. I had my computer connected to my stereo surround sound and I'd play while the N.i.N. soundtrack or a Grunge or a metal CD like Iron Maiden was blasting. It also gave the gameplay even more of a cool factor. And Playing Clan matches was a lot more fun with surround sound as well.
I still have the original Quake CD-ROM and the Shareware version that you could get at pretty much any computer shop. I even have an old Packard Bell Win95 Desktop in storage that I need to bring out and play Quake again as well as play my some of my other old DOS and Win95 games like Doom, Duke Nukem, Terminal Velocity, Flight Unlimited and Dragon's Lair etc... And even some FMV games like CapCom's Fox Hunt, Johnny Mnemonic and Silent Steel.
Btw, can you use the cheat codes in the new Quake like God Mode and getting all of the weapons and ammo etc... and create auto smack talk responses after you frag someone?
Your Duke Voice still Kicks Ass!!! That Quake remaster was very nice. I am a huge Night Dive Fanboy!!!
I'd like to see some of these old fps's in VR. Another great blerb!
I think I would puke if I played a high mobility and frenetic game like quake in VR
@@ElShogoso I've played a port of Quake in VR. It's puke-inducing if you run, but I found it quite enjoyable just walking around at a slower pace!
@@LGRBlerbs Oh neat! I will check that out sir.
@@ElShogoso I'm so blessed that I have an iron stomach. Circle-strafing in VR is an absolute blast.
@@Bannanawaffles2 Same, I have never felt weird or nauseous playing any VR game. Guess we are lucky! If anything the headset can get heavy after a while.
If you own it Steam or on Bethesda's store, you get the update for free. Unfortunately, not if you got it through GOG. And you own all official expansion packs and you get the music from all the expansions. Before, I had to rip the music off the CDs that I owned and placed them in a folder, and had to use a new Quake engine program to get it to work. No more! Love it!
Online play was fun, but seemed very laggy for some reason. Still, it's crossplay so I assume it means us PC games can play against console players as well. Love it! Makes the Quake community that much larger and able to interact.
Yeah the online feels a little rough at the moment.
Also means that if there are any cheaters on PC (although I don't think there are that many people that will play Quake online, let alone cheat), it'll ruin the console players' experience as well.
@@ZX3000GT1 people chat on console too. May not be as rampant as it can be on pc, but it's not just pc players. There are plenty of stories and articles on console cheaters too.
@@bolski6125 Yep. But most of the time that involves jailbreaking/modding the console, which is harder than getting a file and run it on PC.
Much, much less cheating occurrence of cheating on consoles than PC, hence the rootkit anticheats on a lot of PC online games.
@@ZX3000GT1 I was just trying to be positive since more people across different platforms can join in together on the fun.
Man, this is beautiful! If I had a dollar for every hour spent playing this game in Single Player or Multiplayer modes…I’d be a very rich older man. Thanks for sharing this, Clint!
This is pure awesomeness, can't wait to play this on hard mode myself soon!!☺️
Dimension of the Past is the episode Machine Games made for the 20th anniversary.
Dimension of the Machine is a whole new episode Machine Games has done for the 25th anniversary.
Have you played Dread Templar yet? It's a modern boomer shooter that is very Quake 1-esque. It's on GOG and Steam on sale this week early access.
That game is too edgelord and upbeat in tone, none of the low-key, rusted moodiness.
Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the expansion packs!
that setup is incredible, dude
It seems we are in need again of a cracking scene. These days to get rid of all the phone-home crap in everything…
I would note that you can still play split screen and single player without an account. It's just for the online servers. In order to use the Bethesda server infrastructure you need a user account, which seems fairly reasonable - Steam requires the same thing. You just don't notice because you already have to be logged in to play.
8:24 You can turn off the CRT filter on the Steam version by entering this command in the console: r_crtmode 0
Hopefully Nightdive/Bethesda will add an option to disable the CRT filter on Quake 64 for the console ports, since there is currently no way to disable it
Does it have scale?
Good to see people are using my findings for good use.
Found that day 1. Posted on my Twitter and on a few discord groups
Such a beautiful setup. I love it.
Man those sound effects bring back memories.
46 seconds into this video and I'm now on Steam installing Quake, having not played it since 2014 apparently...
It's definitely a cool remaster considering it's free for those who already own Quake. I'm slightly worried by the fact that the 2 new mission packs are bringing my FPS down to 35, and I have a GTX1080....
@@ihatepokemonthings The new Quake remaster is actually using Vulkan, surprisingly enough.
Probably just need too turn off vsync, also fps cap is a bit bugged, it stays on screen hz for me until you change it too something else like 120 fps & then back too unlimited for it too work properly. running a gtx 1660 super here.
They somehow made Dusk, a game with the aesthetics and mechanics of vintage 90's shooters, a whole whopping 13gb... I don't think the devs are as talented as their community talk them up to be
@@Azerkeux Large file sizes are not indicative of bad devs. It could be that they didn't bother with compressing any of the music or graphical assets.
@@shadowtheimpure Well for comparison, 3DRealms, one of the original purveyors of our beloved Boomer Shooters released Ion -Maiden- Fury a couple years ago and it was like 80mb with music and all
This game’s release timing couldn’t be more perfect. Just a few days ago, I was showing my brother how to get the quakespasm port working on pc and all of the sudden on the first day of quakecon and the first day of school, this came out of nowhere!
Quake is such an iconic game, I'm glad they put out a modern version so people that are not so savvy can easily play it. Thanks for another one 👍
Personally one of my favorite ways of playing Quake is DOS or WinQuake on a fast enough system to run at least 640x480 smoothly.
GlQuake ruined me for running it in software mode.
@@travis1240 I like the extra performance GLQuake gives, but other than the better color palette I don't think it looks as good.
So basically it's the good ol' Quake we all know and love - if modern graphics capabilities existed in 1996? What more do we need?!
There are honestly a lot of great old games that deserve a wider audience today, but are held back because they don't live up to modern standards. Faithful remasters and ports like this are a great way to give them the audience they deserve, and at a reasonable price too in this case!!
That keyboard sound is so satisfying.
super enjoying your muscle memory on e1m1. carrying on an entire conversation while effortlessly grabbing the first secret and smoking the first monster. :chef-kiss:
I love this update. Game feels so much smoother and the modern controls are awesome
Modern controls? What modern controls did the original not have?
@@MosoKaiser looking up and down with the mouse. For some reasons it would never nork for me. Even when I tried turning mouse look on. I'd have to use page up and page down to look up and down
@@rustynuts89836 Oh, that one. In the original it was done a bit ass-backwardly, with no proper mouse look toggle option in the in-game menus, just a key to hold down for mouse look. You'd need to input the "+mlook" command in the console each time you run Q1 for permanently enabled mouse look. Or put to the command in the autoexec cfg file for it to be run automatically on startup.
@@MosoKaiser I knew I was missing something
Oh, this is why Quake got an update on Steam earlier lol.
Love your setup.
I still have a heavily modded version of Quake on a USB stick around here somewhere. It looked pretty on par with this and I originally downloaded it years ago. It ran on the Darkplaces engine if I remember correctly. With the best paks and highest settings, even my 1070 struggled to push it at 4k. I never cease to be amazed at what fans can do.
I'm more into the Doom Remaster than Quake (albeit its fastpaced gameplay could just as well be Quake) but seeing you playing Quake makes up a good morning 😀
So pumped that all three Quakes are released on Game Pass - gonna be a great weekend!
I bought the game years ago in order to move the files into a source port, but I never expected this gift to show up in my Steam library. I had to turn on the View Bob to make the movement feel right, and turn off the Enhanced Models to make the hitboxes feel right, but for the most part it just works perfectly right out of the box.
Thanks for the video, I checked steam it was just over $2.00 to buy, I had to buy it. I loved this game, it changed the gaming industry forever.
Also on game pass! Loving it so far.
Oh nice!
Must be nice to run the game with all the bells and whistles on and still at a nice high framerate. Definitely couldnt do that back when it came out.
Quake didn't have many bells and whistles. There wasn't much other than resolution iirc.
Thanks for the heads up. I did not know about the remaster.
Cool game and nice playing. Keep up the good work! ;)
When this leaked recently, I was hoping to see an option of moving the weapon to the right, or left for southpaws. All the videos seem to have the weapon centered though. I assume there's no right/left option?
Quake has always had the weapon in the center, just like Doom :)
scr_ofsy in the console and you can push the weapon left or right if you want
@@LGRBlerbs I know that Clint. I got the game in the first week of release. When FPS games started to come out where it was placed to the right/left, I thought it looked much better though.
@@jackoneill45 Thanks. Will take a look.
"Are the bots talking?" - This will be remembered as the exact point in time when Skynet became aware.
Long ago I interviewed the guy who wrote all the dialog (and there was A LOT) for the quake 3 bots. No one seems to remember that you can actually chat with them via the console, and start whole conversations!
@@MichaelEilers
Never knew. Thank you for that. 👍
There’s a bot mod for Modern Warfare 2 where the bots will make some rather amusing chatter directed at one another and the player... Seeing the bots accuse you of using an aimbot never gets old.
@@blunderingfool That is kinda funny!
The bots seem a lot more polite than human players, so, uh... I for one welcome our new machine overlords.
Seeing this played on a crt brings me back to my high school days. I miss the 90s..
Nightdive dropping the announcement of Exhumed/Powerslave then releasing Quake by surprise only months after an amazing remaster of Shadowman.
These people are on a roll and I hope they get more of these old games back into the limelight.
I just discovered something neat in this remaster -- the second episode ends with John Romero's ORIGINAL Dismal Oubliette, with the expanded introduction dungeon!
It totally wrecked my playthrough, too (I was hoping to do no deaths on my first run.).
It's a shame us folks that have it on GOG don't get the remastered version.
Maybe the GOG version will come later. I hope
@@mr_beezlebub3985 I hope so. I'd hate to have to buy it twice.
Thank the gods we don’t! We can just use source ports & have the ISO for the music.
@@NinjaRunningWild True, but the split screen couch co-op looks fun.
There's a forum post about it - they are working with Bethesda to get it out and all current Quake-havers should have new Quake when it's ready for distribution. Rumor has it that it might be after the big sale going on right now.
I will give it a try. My nostalgic nerves are tickled. Played Quake alot back when I was a kid. I was 13 years old when Quake released.
I love seeing the shadows being casted from the explosions
Please always activate subtitles. I am hearing impacted and without subs i am often lost. TIA Clint...
I never, ever disable subtitles. CZcams simply takes time to generate them and match them in regards to timing, and since this was only posted a few minutes ago it’ll unfortunately be a while. This is not something I can control, it’s simply up to Google’s system to catch up.
@@LGRBlerbs Hmmm lets wait then. Usually i always find subs on your (excellent) videos. But lately somehow not. Thanks for response. Lets see. Cheers
@@HighwayHunkie Hopefully it generates soon, my apologies for Google's slowness!
Have you tried to see if your phone has Live Captions? My Note9 recently got it and it's impressively good.
@@Fay7666 Using alaptop with Chrome - yet there are still no subs available hehe
Movement in this just doesn't feel right to me for some reason, it's not smooth. At least compared to some ports like vkQuake.
vkQuake can run at 1000fps (well I limit to 238fps for my 240Hz g-sync monitor) but the movement on this is still great.
Never got to play Quake back in day. So it's nice they remastered it and added a bunch of awesome stuff.
Man, there's nothing like the feel of old school shooters. I'd like to say it's in the frenetic gameplay, but really, a lot of it is level design.
The fact I can actually see what the hell is going on is somehow more amazing than the fact my laptop can run the remake at over 120fps.
Would’ve been more interesting if they remastered the Saturn version of Quake rather than Quake 64
Saturn Quake only has 4 wholely original levels, AFAIK
Thanks for the update, I'm on it!
i had no idea it was a free update, this made me pretty happy
For some reason I could never get into Quake. Probably because I've played FPS's that released a couple years after Quake. And can't appreciate what Quake brought to the table. However I could never get tired of DOOM. I could get physically tired from it though.
This is a nice looking update. I really can't stand most of these HD remakes, the artistic direction is simply horrible. Their idea of a hd texture is a texture peppered with noise. They also don't seem to have any understanding on shaders, everything reflects light like wet plastic.
Man that looks smooth
Thanks Nightdive :)
