Is the new campaign (and n64 campaign) any good? I’ve played through the original maybe five times and expansions 2-3 and they’re not that great. I appreciate the video’s sentiment though 👌
@@hikeskool I know this is a late reply but in case you haven't gotten an answer yet, the N64 port is enjoyable for what it is, but as it's a direct port, you can feel many hiccups (extremely small levels for example). The new MachineGames expansion is enjoyable as well, with my gripes about it being more on the minute gameplay side of things (like an over reliance on throwing a million mutants at you). If you wished to have the enemy count and objective based story/gameplay of the Q2 expansions but the out and out power fantasy of baseq2 with a bit of Quake 1 story and theme tie ins, the new expansion is going to be your cup of tea.
Hey folks... playing Quake II and then Quake IV in the sequence is a good idea now after this remake, it makes us feel more immersed in the full storyline.
I just found out that the mission button when toggled gives you unlimited bullet time, and honestly, playing on Hard or Nightmare on some of these missions, you need it.
I've been playing the remaster every single night, coop, deathmatch, CTF. It's like old times, without too many tryhards that ruin the fun for new people. Crossplay is great too, advanced AI is awesome too. Just lacks a few things to be perfect, dedicated servers and mod compatibility.
I think the server thing might have something to do with crossplatform conformity/regulations that would satisfy the guy's at Sony and Nintendo. Also, didn't they just release the source code to the remaster? So mods should be possible, right? At least that's what Digital Foundry said.
What I really loved to see in Quake are remastered cutscenes, the weapon wheel that was mentioned in video and new compass that guides player to next objective. Instead of just pulling Rockstar with Red Dead Redemption, they truly thought on how to improve experience for both new and returning players.
God I love Nightdive Studios! They have to be up there currently as one of my favorite gaming studios because not only do they remaster some old and sometimes forgotten games, they go above and beyond! They could've easily just give the games a shiny new coat of paint, put it out and call it a day. But no. They do So much more. It's not just the updated Graphics, Sounds etc... that get a nice upgrade, it's also the added content they include to make the game a more complete experience. And that's including cut content that I didn't even know about so seeing those things being implemented is just awesome. I've really enjoyed Nightdive's remasters of Shadow Man, Turok 1 and 2, Quake 1 and 2, and now with the recent announcement of Turok 3, I'm 1 very happy camper lol. Can't wait to see what else they decide to bring back.
Oh yeah forgot Dark Forces was announced at the same time as Turok 3. Tbf I played the crap out of Turok 3 so it definitely got my attention. Whereas Dark Forces I remember playing it years ago for a like 10 minutes I think. Not cause it was bad or anything. I was just in the middle of trying out all the different Star Wars games at the same time cause I got the Humble Bundle for it, and I just ended up not playing more of it lol.@@GTXDash
NightDive is my favorite studio at the moment. I'm afraid to look into them at all, because I will blacklist them if I find out something bad enough. They are being respectful of old games, for the most part, and they've still managed to improve them in many ways. It's a truly remarkable feat, and they are tackling some very good games. WTF? Is that flashlight available in the main campaign?! I didn't know about it.
The flashlight is also in the remaster natively but you have to type "give flashlight" in console or play a specific campaign (don't remember which one but it's not the main one)
1:10 the whole nonsense around hating the old and "bad" Graphics is just coonsumer brain rot typically for the average gamer these days. If an aesthetic is clearly readable ,consistent and Has all the essential details then it has good graphics. But the problem with newer gamers is that old school FPS navigation is too much for the average coonsumer with intelligence equivalent to the lobotomized strogg.
@@todesziege exactly what I have noticed too, there are cases where readability is purposeful obscured for gameplay function and risk factor. But modern games don't usually do that and thus the readability being poorer is a detriment.
The Bot Support, as you perhaps alluded to is a big one. The bots can be loaded in co-op games, by the way, so you can run through the entire game with friendly bots following you around, and they will follow for the most part. That latter feature though, it is not officially supported, was something they included for fun. That being said the tools to modify the bot waypoints are built right into the game, so you can do so as you find issues with bot pathing. Use the "addbot" command (without quotes) in the Console. The Scanline filter is actually incredibly customizable, you can do so with a series of console commands. I don't know them by heart, sadly.
if we are discussing unsupported features you can play with 31? bots if you change the maxclients command which i think technically supports up to 32 players although you can set it to something wild like 255 and it will show up like that in the server browser. there are also built in commands for allowing the downloading of custom maps models sounds and the like so I would hope for mod support at some point also
@@phalxor Oh yeah, there's probably quite a few small little "unsupported" features. I think what that really means is if you choose to increase player counts and such, you may not be able to play with crossplay enabled, which is completely fair.
Quake 2 remaster is really cool, one of the features they also added is the improved enemy AI and new map sections, quake 2 had some things scrapped due to time constraints and they brought it back for the remaster and its great and those features made me like quake 2 quite a bit more, features i don't like can just be turned off in the menus or with console commands which is good to see.
And thats why Quake 2 remaster of nightdive studios (ID software's weakest game BTW) is better and HAS ALL COMPLETE CONTENT and MORE!! AND DESPITE BEING OLD ITS FUN, unlike pre order stuff nowadays.
The main issue with this remaster is they failed to do more with primary part of the Q2 experience - the online multiplayer. They should have provided dedicated servers for DM, dual, 4x4, CTF, and plus some of the classic mods like CTF, Lithium, Rocket Arena etc. Bethesda could have easily spun up a bunch of dedicated VM's with server mods across the continents and then gradually run off the less utilized ones. Poor planning.
Hey! Good video! I agree that playing the Quake's is much better than AAA games nowadays. Quake 3 is the perfect arena shooter and I'm very happy with the Q2 remaster. But you forgot the best part: It's on console, supports mouse and keyboard and it's crossplatform! THAT's AWESOME! No Windows needed, no Steam or any of this crap that PC sadists enjoy. Just a console, a keyboard and a mouse. Simple as it should be.
I feel your frustration dearly. It really is that simple but sadly people are either too naive, don't believe it or don't care. Hopefully it will get better but at least we have a proof that among the garbage there is always the gold stash waiting to be opened with people who care and bring the good stuff back instead of trying to keep it for themselves and break everyone's wallets open just cause they can.
Ran across this video as a suggestion after RUclips randomly dropped a Quake 2 meme video on my homepage. Absolutely love to see this game get so much love from the devs and the community. Great video. ♥
The only thing I would want added to this full package - making it complete in my eyes - is Quske 2 for PS1. Maybe adding this at a later date? Please???
Let me tell you. My son of 8 and his younger brother like blocklike graphics. They like mindcraft and quake 2's graphics more than realistic 2023 games. Kids like when games look like games. We as parents of 40 to 50 are looking for better graphics and playability too. Kids today are real weird.
RxN aka Reaction Needs to come back and redo the mod Gloom for this. I'd come back to Quake2 for this very reason. Echon, Cataclaw, R1CH.... WHERE ARE YOU?!
Is the new campaign (and n64 campaign) any good? I’ve played through the original maybe five times and expansions 2-3 and they’re not that great. I appreciate the video’s sentiment though 👌
To me, Call of the Machine (the new campaign) I think is better than vanilla Q2 and is quite a different experience with far greater amounts of enemies with more elaborate maps. Its very Doom-like in that regard. Q2 64 however is the opposite. It's simpler than even the original set of maps in some ways. Not necessarily a bad thing, it's just more streamlined and linear than the originals.
If my pc could run DirectX10 and above i would lvoe to play the Quake 2 remaster, sadly i can only play the normal one, same with Quake 1. I really wish someone ported the new campaign from Quake 1 update to the old Quake if possible
I have finished it on ps4 yesterday, i dont like q2 at all but after nightdive did with first quake (wich i love at most) i was wondering if they will add new episode too. And it was awesome, i can recommend!
Great video and as an old-ass Q2 fan I wholeheartedly agree, but: why does the footage show Quake 2 RTX? [edit] nevermind, I should've watched the video till the end haha. Still, great vid!
Seriously othee then a few remstered games oije the metro games,and well not nuch else, nothing really comes close to how a complete edition this is compared to g hmm mw2 100 dollar vault edition,other modern shooters this was an instant vuy and im proud to have all the classic shooters on offer for console its bice to look at the expansive folder along with the mider wolfenstiens and doom, still its like being back in the 90s a great era and many important and cultural impacts were made then and for generations to come
It's like been back in 1997 again. I got Quake originally and the new chapters have really brought new life not seen in 20 years. I just hope the Quake Moding scene gets a bit of a revive as unlike Quake, there is not much of it left.
That's a real shame. I think it might have something to do with the fact that modding for the remaster isn't compatible with vanilla, and seems to add an extra divide between modders.
@@GTXDashI was looking for some maps for Quake II and hardly found anything. There are several sites hosting Quake levels and some even review them still. It's a shame sites like PlanetQuake are no longer about as they had 14 years worth of stuff but they got turned off back in 2010. All those mods probably gone forever.
So true i never play this gme but i buy it for the switch just too have a nice fps and it just❤ so fun game and there are even more inside i dont know if they all quake games are but when i finned all i need quake1
This is Quake 2 XP. RTX looks way different. We intentionally disable blood (mostly for deathmatch). It's too distracting. A lot of the footage in this video is that of the remaster, I don't think anyone is stupid enough to not see a difference.
I have played both of them... a lot 🙂. However, I won't spend money on them unless I'm allowed to play a match that doesn't require connecting to one of Bethesda's servers.
@@speeedrunner4218 They were but Bethesda needed to kickstart it off with a strong selection of dedicated servers. Right now it is a total clown show of connecting to randoms, poor server browser ETC..... They had such a great opportunity to ignite something with this remaster.
I've been logging in to Call of Duty mobile for months now just for the daily log, not to actually play it, then i jump over to Freedoom to play any wad i want with any mod i feel like using. The difference between fun and graphics are miles apart. Cod mobile doesn't have gore but it has try hards with hyperactive disorders that ruin the fun, but the graphics are cool lol ppl just turn the graphics down to increase fps anyway... at some point you gotta be honest with yourself and decide if you want to have fun or just play something that has cool graphics and needs wifi.
I remember when Quake Champions released and a lot of people complained that they couldnt turn the graphics down enough. They eventually offered even lower settings. I like nice graphics, so I just have everything set to max. But yeah, if the framerate drops bellow 60, graphics goes down. We have to get our priorities straight.
Precisely. Why pay for an over-priced port (talking to you Red dead Redemption!) When you get a fully remastered game with new stuff that ends up being way less costly!
This game is awesome, “sigh”too bad the Triple Alers have been brainwashed by the industry into thinking what constitutes a good game and what is considered outdated. “Sigh” oh well, I hope they can come to their senses one day and realize what they are missing out on whether or not it’s old games like these or indies. Seriously people expand your horizons, there are so many video games out there that puts Triple A to shame.
These kids today don't know what a shooter is quake. 2 online is pure fast Paste chaos, and it takes skill to actually kill more than 1 person. It is by far one of the best shooters of all time. And I still play it everyday online
@@GTXDash Gl , its 10 bucks and well worth it. I have it on pc ps and switch. I remember playing it on a 56k modem. Great times with the exception of the 56k. I miss the days of clans and being the top player in the room. All based on skill. No character lvls or loot boxes. We played because it was fun.
@@christopherobrien1463 I wish I had a powerful enough PC to play Q1 and Q2 during their heyday. I only got onto the scene when Q3A was already out for a year.
This is Quake2 XP. It's a source port for the OG quake 2. However I've modified it quite a bit, I'm thinking of doing a video or posting the cfg file for people to download to get their Quake2 XP to look the way I've set it up.
There is a problem. Unlike the PC version, the Console version lacks the *"Always Run"* enable/disable setting, forcing players to play the Campaign and Local MP at breakneck speeds. When the game first came out, I put it in disabled because I thought the running speed was too high. We're testing the latter playing in 2-Player Split Screen, and being forced to move at such high speeds makes for an experience that's quite jarring. 😟
@@GTXDash Oh, you're right. I actually played some of it back when the remaster was released. I dunno why they didn't put it in the campaign list, like the did with Quake II 64.
I'm having a blast playing brutal Doom or project brutality with various free map packs. It blows modern AAA games out of the water, and it doesn't turn my PC into a radiator. I'd rather give a few bucks to the modders who made these games than give EA a cent.
Nah, quake 2 sucks balls, it did back then when I first played it and it still does now. Try Duke Nukem 64, it's arguably better than Duke 3D, THAT game was fun, Quake gets old fast.
The new expansion was made by MachineGames.
I realised that after I already uploaded the video 😅
I wouldnt call Machinegames AAA in nature. They produce excellent games, but never soulless.

For FPS games, I’m sticking to Boomer Shooters like Quake, Doom & Turok etc.
I fukking love this game. Just pure fun. Pure shooting, no bullcrap or gimmicks.
I'm hoping they do Quake III next. I'd love the Heretic/Hexen games but I won't hold my breath on it.

All that and he hasnt bought it 😂 I did its awesome.
Yep 😄. I never buy at launch. I always wait 2 weeks to protect myself from impulsive buying.
@@GTXDash Gl , its 10 bucks and well worth it. I have it on pc ps and switch. I remember playing it on a 56k modem. Great times with the exception of the 56k. I miss the days of clans and being the top player in the room. All based on skill. No character lvls or loot boxes. We played because it was fun.
@@christopherobrien1463 I wish I had a powerful enough PC to play Q1 and Q2 during their heyday. I only got onto the scene when Q3A was already out for a year.
I just... it's impossible for me to disagree with any of this.
0:09 What mod is this?
This is Quake2 XP. It's a source port for the OG quake 2. However I've modified it quite a bit, I'm thinking of doing a video or posting the cfg file for people to download to get their Quake2 XP to look the way I've set it up.
There is a problem.
Unlike the PC version, the Console version lacks the *"Always Run"* enable/disable setting, forcing players to play the Campaign and Local MP at breakneck speeds.
When the game first came out, I put it in disabled because I thought the running speed was too high.
We're testing the latter playing in 2-Player Split Screen, and being forced to move at such high speeds makes for an experience that's quite jarring. 😟
I don't think ive ever turned off run. I guess its more needed for controllers.
@@GTXDash Just needed that setting to be available so I could slow things down. Don't understand why it's missing on Consoles.
Play it on pc like it's meant to
Graphicsmare the most overrated thing in games..... killing floor looks like shit but for me its fun like nothing else....
1:44 But... Quake Remastered did not come with Quake 64... ?
Quake 64 is accessed in the add-on menu.
@@GTXDash Oh, you're right. I actually played some of it back when the remaster was released. I dunno why they didn't put it in the campaign list, like the did with Quake II 64.
@@szeltovivarsydroxan9944 Probably because it wasn't a new campaign, unlike Quake 2 64.
I don't like Quake 2, I prefer Quake. I only play "old" games though.
Imagine playing AAA in the current year 😅😂
Quake 1?
I love Quake 1 even more than Quake 2.
@@GTXDash I prefer Quake 1 for its uniqueness.
I'm having a blast playing brutal Doom or project brutality with various free map packs. It blows modern AAA games out of the water, and it doesn't turn my PC into a radiator.
I'd rather give a few bucks to the modders who made these games than give EA a cent.

Nah, quake 2 sucks balls, it did back then when I first played it and it still does now. Try Duke Nukem 64, it's arguably better than Duke 3D, THAT game was fun, Quake gets old fast.
