Quake review on the nintendo 64. Recorded using a dazzle and on original real console hardware and game cartridge.

"It's pretty much a straight PC port which is disappointing." 0_o. That's a dream come true for any games being ported over from the PC, as long as the framerate is stable.
Yeah that’s true but you got to consider that the pc version had already been out for years by this point and to get a straight port with nothing much else added like maps etc was a let down. Also no 4 players. Thankfully they did a great job with quake 2 though which is awesome
@@n64glennplant Note that you needed a decent PC to run it well. Getting better performance than on AMD and Cyrix 5x86 PCs even with 3D acceleration was nothing to sneeze at.
@@n64glennplant Hey Glenn, have you played the recent remaster of Quake that was released just a few weeks ago?
@@Nutty151 yes I have it on series x
@@n64glennplant Cool, I'm having a blast with the multiplayer. It's also great that it has all the expansions included plus a brand new one.
For anyone thinking about playing this on N64, I HIGHLY recommend:
Go to video settings, turn "Filter" to off. This helps sharpen up the terrible blurry textures a bit.
And good lord the stock controls, change them.. I prefer the following:
C UP: Move Forward
C DOWN: Backstep
C Left and Righ: Strafe left and right
Right Shoulder: Jump
D Pad Left and Right: Next/Prev Weapon
B: Button Look
A: Center View
Z: Shoot
This is much better!
jeremysart can you use the d pad to move and the analogue stick to aim like in goldeneye?
No one You know yes
No no no, those controls suck.
Do it like this.
C = Looking
Analog stick = Moving
A - Previous Weapon
B - Next weapon
L and R - Jump
Z - Shoot
@@kieranocity So basically the same except the a and b buttons for swapping weapons lol. ;P
Your setup is exactly what I use when I play
@@bangerbangerbro why some one should to this? You can not hit the Buttons with this oO
Trent Reznor's PC soundtrack was atmospheric, eeire, with sound effects and minor noises. It didn't subtract from the game at all and added to the haunting atmosphere. The only song that was rock was the menu music.
Yeah I was thinking that same thing. He probably just watched a video of quake for PC and saw the Intro of how people always play the damn intro song on all their quake videos. This guy clearly doesn't know what he is alking about
I always did like the creepy soundtrack of this game.
rmtheg234 i dig it too :)
wtf.. the best part of quake was the Trent soundtrack..
Aubrey Hodges did a good job with the soundtrack as well. Its was some big shoes for him to fill and he nailed it.
logicone agree with you there man,
trent did a good job with the soundtrack and love those creepy tones
and noises in it! so i prefer the pc version over the nintendo 64 version and great vid man.... keep up the good work:)
yeah,much better than pc soundtrack
I always loved this game! It's a big part of my childhood!The enemies are fast and difficult to kill....that's one of the things this game's really got goin' for it....it's VERY challenging....it'll take you numerous tries to complete some levels.
Father son gaming memories are the best!
like my dad snapping the floppy disk of space invaders after a 6 hour marathon session in a rage quit
Ha, I had a similar experience with double dragon and my dad
i had double dragon on gameboy which was okay but i always loved the amiga version
Never played anything, but the NES version, myself.
***** Double Dragon kicks ass .. was such a fun game d:) just bought this for 7€ , next week im getting Turok 2&3 , Zelda OoT & pokemon stadium
This was my first Quake experience and I loved it for what it was. My only complaint was the multiplayer was limited to 2 players and coop would've been nice.
I didn't have an expensive PC to run quake smoothly at the time. I got the N64 version instead :)
Back in 1998, PCs that could run quake weren't the most advanced ones at all. A K6-2 or a celeron (or even a fast pentium mmx since they were still sold at that time) could run it smoothly. However, even cheap PCs were more expensive that what we have nowadays, but it wasn't 2000$ either
By 1998 there were probably used Pentium 1 PCs available. With a Pentium 90 and a 3DFX Voodoo Quake was very much playable.
Just got a N64 a few days ago. I've subbed to your channel, will be going through the videos to see what games i may want to pick up. Thank you for reviewing these games!
Man, you did one of the best things in life! Congrats for the N64, the best console.
The Best Console?? those games has aged horribly. Sorry to say this. But it is true
Taylan Demir
I agree that all first 3D games have aged beyond bad. I can't even appreciate PS1, PS2, XBOX, N64 and Gamecube anymore.
The low textures and horrible graphics is not the nostalgia i remembered them as, whereas Sega Megadrive, NES, SNES and Dreamcast held up better.
Turok games are A must buy.
Where did u get one i want one never played it before all these adult losers are buying them all up or selling them at a ridiculous price
Quake N64 in 60hz on a cartrigde...! Come on that is amazing!?
I know, they cant get games to run at 60hz now with far more advanced systems
Vampirerockstar yes I know it's sad.
That is amazing. The cartridge was supposed to be so limited compared to CDs.
@@MultiMarvelGeek limited in space yes but definitely not read/write speeds
@@MultiMarvelGeek yea limited only in terms of capacity...and more expensive to manufacture.
As far as most everything else it was quicker than CD-ROM systems of the day
Ah yes, the game my sister would play while me and my friend hid under the covers and screamed. lol
Your dad is cool.
GravellerGear Yeah
So is your mom
*was 😭
I STg I’m jealous asf I dad see my dad unbox a n64 back in the day and boot up super smash bros and played it with my mum way back when I stood in the hallway in shock lmfao 😂
I never even knew this existed on N64. My first Quake experience was Quake 2 for the N64 and I thoroughly enjoyed that game. I'll have to pick this one up soon.
Nar Comic Underworld this game is worth picking up for nostalgia!
im also an old school gamer and love this game as well as much as the next guy:)
Quake 64 does have an incredible Aubrey Hodges sound track just for this port though
Great review buddy.
Quake along with Duke Nukem 3D was one of the first PC games I every played, when my family got our first PC in 1997, it blew me away. I'd already played both Wolfenstein and Doom on the Atari Jaguar. Quake was like nothing I'd ever seen before and I even got a chance to play it on a VR head set while I was working in Oldham Collage's IT department for work experience. Still to this day a really great game.
Love your ever changing intros for these reviews!!
i try to mix it up as best as i can :)
Another detailed, comprehensive, balanced and well informed review - AS ALWAYS! Professional grade in my opinion. Keep up the great work Glenn!
thank you fella! glad your still enjoying the reviews to this day
Always enjoy your reviews. Keep up the great work!
thank you :) hope your banana is not mushed
I find it amazing that you had such an insight in the videogame market at a young age.
When i was in my early to mid teens when i had an N 64,i had no idea what was available what was in development or what was on PC or other consoles.
My only source of information was the offical Nintendo magazin that published once in a quarter.
Great channel!
I was lucky to have internet at a very early stage when most people hadn’t even heard of it. That combined with getting all the magazines 🙂
Despite some of the flaws of this port of Quake, I'm glad that they kept an ambient soundtrack for the ports. Even with this soundtrack composed by Aubrey Hodges, the game still retains its dark, grim atmosphere. In a sense, this port amplifies the creepiness with its colored lighting. Considering that this ports soundtrack has demonic growls, unholy winds, haunted orchestras, ghostly warping noises, and discomforting vocalizations in it... have fun playing this in the dark.
I remember saving up and paying full price for Quake 64 back in the day, and was surprised by the muddy graphics. It wasn't until recently with the Quake 64 addon remaster that it was apparent that the texture resolution had in fact been significantly reduced. Recently played thru the entire Quake 64 with the remaster, and it's just as underwhelming as I remembered, with the lower level count, but at least it had nice colored lighting.
I've seen people play this game YEARS ago on PC and I never knew the name of it, but I always remembered the dark gloomy setting, the chainsaw enemy, and you wielding an axe. Unless I'm wrong....I alwayss wondered what the hell game was that!? Lol Now I own this for the 64 and made the connection... I still enjoy it for Nintendo's system, well the 1player part of it... I only ever played the 2 player death match with my friend once I believe, a while ago. It was somewhat memorable to me because we were stoned and it consisted of me chasing him around some dungeon swinging the axe like a madman lol and it was rather hilarious. Aside from that, I still haven't beaten the single player yet but I work on it from time to time. This game is still creeps me out sometimes when I play it alone lol It's scary and ambient, a little too punishing sometimes but fun.
I would always get confused between Hexen and Doom on the N64
+demoh2o oh? idk if I have ever played but it looks cool for what it is, that came out later though too didn't it?
+doublea32989 not sure which one came out first, but they both always looked the same to me
+demoh2o right? Same type of game, was thinking of maybe getting it for n64, who knows!
This looks surprisingly playable considering the age of the console. Seems like a rather decent port.
Just finished this game to clear out my console backlog.
Honestly I was cold on it at first, but around Ogre Citadel something just kinda clicked for me and I was well away.
Good review :)
thank you, I quite like this version its just a shame they didn't get the 4 player mode in
Hey Glenn, new to your channel but IV seen every video already. Keep up the great work, great review. I just bought a Jungle Green N64 and then bought a bunch of games. I bought an everdrive 64 to play unreleased games on my n64 because of you. Thx so much for bringing back old school memories. I just wish you had more reviews so I could watch even more lol.
hehe well thank you so much! glad to know I'm doing what i came to youtube to do and thats spread some n64 love in the community. as long as people keep watching ill keep making new videos :)
Dated and crude compared to modern console shooters, but very few can match it in atmosphere. This came out in a time when the FPS game could be pretty scary and it remains so today. Eat your heart out COD. Good review.
yeah and remember when fps games had personality and weren't all generic futuristic clones of one another? man that makes me feel old lol
The lack of multiplayer being a dealbreaker is something I will never understand. Not every game needs it and certainly not every shooter; certainly not something as atmospheric as Quake and Doom 64 were. Such a silly obsession.
In my opinion there is no comparison to doom although doom is and always will be a great game.No game ever scared me like Quake did even though doom used to make me jump playing it late at night.I still love to break out some quake and relive the greatest retro 1st person shooter of all times.Great review as always Glen keep up the work my friend.
thanks tim, i think doom was the better game but perhaps quake had the better, creepier atmosphere
***** I think quake is also harder. Except for doom 64, that game is fucking hard.
Hell yeah. Been so many years for me and Quake is still top of the list.
my favorite Console port was the free one that put it on the nintendo DS! :) that was fun and entertaining. Only thing i was envious of quake 64 was the Exclusive Deathmatch level that was released. I remember playing it with my friend that rented it cause he knew I was playing the PC version all the time and would talk about how cool it was and how better it was than 007. but sadly we were both disappointed in the game and I think for a short while pc players could find the n64 level online. but with that said too, pc players had mods sooo we were playing the game long after the fact.
Excellent video, like always! Yet another game for me to keep an eye out for
and thankfully this ones fairly cheap this time to get!
great review Glenn ! Glad to read you are on the mend and your Dad sounds like a cool guy ! :-)
he let me skive off school a few times to play diddy kong racing with him on his days off :P
Don't know why you'd expect the N64 version of Quake to look close to the PC version 2 years after Quake originally released. The N64 may have been using the latest hardware for consoles at the time, but it was essentially using hardware from 1995.
Quake was the game that forced everyone to upgrade to the latest PC tech in 1996, from CPU to GFX Cards to RAM, so hardware wise, the N64 was stuck with older hardware that couldn't be upgraded from '94-'95 standards. I guess Midway could've used the expansion pak, but that wasn't released until '98, so there was no way they could've designed Quake N64 with that in mind. That's the only way I could see them implementing higher resolutions like 640x480.
But then it'd be running at a quarter or even half the FPS, and I don't think anyone would want that...
Awesome review! I was (and still am) a PC gamer. So yeah, I never picked this title up on N64 because I already had it on my computer.
When you talked about seeing the technical jump from Doom to this, and being amazed, I smiled. I was blown away by how awesome this game looked in comparison to Doom.
ImperatorScab yeah i remember my dad booting it up on pc and thinking can games really look any better :)
Thanks for the review! To me, it was always the best version of "Quake" - the blurry and coloroful textures were awesome to me, it looked like some kind of weird but pleasant nightmare. And the music was off the chain.
why did they not keep the medieval settings / enemies in other Quake games? they just abandoned it after 1 game.
I loved the medieval and lovecraftian feel to the hopelessness and depressing nature of demonic levels.
The strogg we're easily just as cool(Q2)
The reason is that Quake was originally going to be a much different game. A fantasy RPG, in fact.
I got my boxed quake on the n64 yesterday I'm waiting for it in the mail soon :)
I didnt play quake 1 only 2 on the PC so I think i'll enjoy this a lot as I am a big FPS and quake fan :) Awesome review as always! loved it
then make sure you get quake 2 as thats an amazing n64 game....better than the pc version IMO especially with the expansion pack it looks sublime
Also got my eye on a copie of 2! thanks for the tip my friend! :)
Best console version at the time by far. Now available as an add on for the anniversary edition just releaaed
The fact that quake was ported to the saturn is an impressive feat in itself
yeah the Saturn was a 2d powerhouse but for 3d it wasn't
Dude, your channel is godsend! *thumbs up*
Mamali K glenn i also love your channel
Still working through this one. The pain maze is killing my will to live lol. Also, I definitely have to give this game credit for the framerate. I have to say that I agree with their decision to tone down the graphics to ensure that the framerate stays better. I have turok, turok 2, Goldeneye, doom 64, perfect dark, hexen, and quake 2 now, and this game is honestly the best as far as framerate and associated feeling IMO
You’re right about everything EXCEPT you are underestimating the value of local multiplayer in Quake. My friends and I used to carry our desktop PC’s to each other’s houses every few weeks for LAN parties, so we were already fans of Quake multiplayer. Finally being able to just turn on the game and play with a friend without having a second computer nearby was excellent. Yes Goldeneye was better in almost every way, but Quake still provided a unique and fun multiplayer experience for those of use who already loved the game.
Wish we could get a HD remaster of Quake & Quake 2. Like they did with Turok.
well.... some of that happend
The only differences I can see between PC Quake and Quake 64 is that the id Tech 2 (aka Quake engine) engine on the Nintendo 64, much like Doom on the Playstation, has been modified to have colored lighting, so we get shades of blue, green, purple, or red lighting in most levels unlike in PC Quake where the lighting was pretty much white or slight shades of yellow. The game obviously lacks decent multiplayer and graphics, as the multiplayer was just a 2-player deathmatch, which sucks. It would have been awesome to play co-op with your buddy listening to the spooky ambience, but alas, they took the 6 months to program in only one multiplayer mode which took enough time that the Quake engine was beginning to show its age. As for the graphics, I remember first playing Quake 64 on my emulator, and I couldn't help but feel as though the game looked more bland because of the blurry textures. The game made up for it with the colored lighting and obviously well done ambient soundtrack composed by Aubrey Hodges, in my opinion.
Dig out my old N64, set it up for my kids about a year ago.....they prefer the "retro" games to the more modern violent ones due to their sheer simplicity. Zelda, Mario, Quake and Banjo have found a new lease of life and a new fan base.
That’s a real legacy 👍😬
I loved this game. Spent many hours playing it. PC too
I had the control scheme setup where the d-pad was to move and strafe and the analog stick to aim and look around z trigger to shoot there was custom controller mapping in this version
It's easy to understand why console players don't see how amazing this game was, but for PC gamers, this was the gold standard of gaming at the time - nothing topped it graphically. It was a good benchmark about whether it was time to upgrade your PC or not lol.
My pops got this day one on pc and I remember vividly him playing it online in the early internet days - great memories
Has to be PC for me, great vid Glenn!
thank you! ill keep making along as people are still enjoying :)
Wow, I'm 23 and my first quake was Quake 2 for PC. I just missed out on this game, but seems like it's worth checking out. I loved 2.
quake 2 on the n64 is the game to get...better than the pc version in my opinion
they added colored lighting, which was quite nice for the time. I do agree that this port suffers though. PC or bust for the quake games.
Yeah, I was gonna mention that this one had coloured lights.
PixelReviver umm! you do realize that the pc
port of the game had better lighting then the nin64 port
did!
btw, not gonna argue or be a troll but i do prefer the pc
ports lighting effects over this,
why!
because in the darkplaces engine it looks better then what is seen here!
and even game consoles such as nintendo 64 dont have lighting correction to change effects etc,
Of course it's going to look better on a heavily improved version of the Quake engine than on a N64, it isn't really a fair comparison.
Sword False, as Quake 64 released after GLQuake was released which sported transparent water, bilinear or trilinear filtering, and very subtle color lighting. It also had dynamic shadows, circle particle effects, and better dynamic lighting (Orange ball lighting when you shoot is also present). The textures are also less blurry.
@@theobserver4214 Wasn't the "ball lighting" rather a hack to get something decent-looking on OpenGL (unlike software mode)?
Despite this slightly disappointing port (graphics, multiplayer, no new levels), Quake is still great fun. It's an 8/10 for me.
I rented it and thought it was okay. I already owned DOOM 64 and Goldeneye at this point so it just didn't measure up compared to those two. I did learn to appreciate Quake after Nightdive Studios re-released it, and then the recent remaster just made things even better.
Yeah it’s very cool to be able to download quake 64 on the quake nightdive version on my series x
Don't know why but this game scares the shit out of me more than Ultra Realistic 4k modern graphics. The music and the atmosphere is unmatchable.
Haha it’s probably those janky polygons that look crazy
Just bought this yesterday!
I like played the Saturn version of Quake when it came out and was impressed. Then eventually got Quake 64 a couple of years later.. I really like the the Quake 64 version better because of the original music and atmospheric lighting.. My fav map is The Nameless City.. I like how there are tones of green and blue in the hallways .. Not even the pc version has that. Now I can play the remaster with its original colors on a 50 inch tv in the dark lol
Oh man the memories with this game are endless,I still play this game till this day on my pc, the mods are awesome,some of the mods and custom maps are huge with great level design and some have more than 200 enemies plus a ton of secrets, if you're real quake fan you will know about the quaddicted page,there you can download mods/maps or even easier to install them with QuakeInjector just download and play but u will need to configure it first.
DjOliScrewed man those custom mods and
that xman mod was so good that because
of that i consider the original quake to be much more entertaining to play mods for then any other shooter just like with doom!
the mod community for both the original doom and quake
are still alive and are still making better classic wads and mods for both games and i also remember playing the old school batman wad file and enjoying it so in my opinion both games have such a strong spirit and feel to them so i would say doom and quake ftw because both are still alive thanks to their fans and agree with you there man!
they should really remake the 1st doom and quake though so
we will see how good they will turn out in the end!
i totally agree with you man, i love both games ( doom and quake ) but i personally prefer quake than doom, dont get me wrong, i have had so much fun with doom and brutal doom, but quake has that Lovecraftian elements, atmosphere,and i dare say even the monsters, and as you said these classic games are better than the actual fps, i dont know how many hours i've played these games but all the time i have spend it has been worth it. and talking about remakes i was very dissapointed with the announcement of Quake champions, i thought we were gonna get a remake for the original quake,but well, shit lol, only time will tell
DjOliScrewed yup only time will tell my man,
but anyway thanks my good friend and have a wonderful day!
ps we should hang out some time and talk about these great classic titles!
would really love to hear from you and thanks for agreeing!
glad to be of service and peace bro:)
you're welcome bro, that would be great, but i live in mexico so that's kinda impossible in the moment but im glad to see people enjoying these awesome games as much as i do, have a nice day bro.
DjOliScrewed thanks you
too man and greetings from us ftw:)
The Nintendo 64 port of Quake was the first version of the game that I played. About a year later, I got the PC version and found it to be more enjoyable due to the smoother frame rate and the mouse and keyboard control layout. As far as the Nintendo 64 port of Quake goes, I still think it is a pretty good version.
yeah it wasn't until quake 2 on n64 that things were mastered :)
Good review!
I played Quake on PC and Sega Saturn but not on N64.
yeah the saturn version is quite hard to beat i think
Well, it looks a bit better than it does on my Pentium II machine with a Matrox Mystique 220... :|
The Examined Life (of Gaming) Wow ! You here ?? You should do a review of quake 1,2 or doom 64 !!!
Try it with a 3Dfx voodoo ? This looks munch better (and run smoother on older hardware) with that !
I have an Pentium III, if you are interested.
When it comes to Quake, I will take it on PC. I think it is because nothing is changed like you had mentioned. Great video!
yeah and on pc its basically free these days too :)
I was happy when they put this out for the N64 because I didn't have a PC yet.
I've played the Doom games without an issue, but Quake 64 is ridiculously hard to me for some reason. I've spent hours on one level and eventually set the game aside to work on my Perfect Dark playthrough. Maybe I just suck haha, but it is my first time playing.
manjr95 I thought I was the only one. I'm not bad at fps games but I'm also not great, but in Quake, I seem to loose health faster.
i remember watching my dad play Doom, Quake and Turok back when i was about 7 or 8. good times. i wish he was still a gamer now but he just cant get used two the double analog, so its only N64 games and down for him. oh well. he turned me into a gamer tho ^__^
Nintendo 64 is the best console for me, and i dont want any other. Your father knows what is good. lol
Ash Lilyvale i remember being told by my dad as well how awesome
wolfenstein, doom, and quake were gonna be and
remember playing all 3 games on pc!
still own the full versions and still come back to them slowly but surely!
these games on pc are better then on a console but i digress cause their both pretty good and nice to know your dad is a big fan of these games!
and btw great video and very informative keep up the
amazing work!:)
Aubrey Hodges made all the music for Doom 64, Quake 1 and 2 on the 64 and Doom on the PS1. Listen to the Themes for Doom And Quake 1 on the 64. Awesome! The terrifying ambient sounds over music scared the shit out of me as a kid.
even thought the quake 64 soundtrack is cool and creepy i still love that nine inch nails soundtrack from pc more.
Bestial fx and music. For me Quake 64 is essential, it's very fun to play.
I always liked playing this game by tricking the monsters into fighting each other or damaging themselves as much as possible.
Nightmare difficulty on the N64 version of Quake was fuckin sadistic.
Amen to that, savage AF
this was an excellent fps
PC original had 31 levels, not 25. N64 only had 25 levels plus was also missing the central hub area where you selected the difficulty and episodes.
i had the cartridge. the best 1st person shooter , for its era , ever
I just bought the remaster on Switch for $3.50! I don't know why, I still prefer the N64 version. Nostalgia I guess.
The remaster has the n64 version as an optional game mode - the new quake 2 remaster does the same too 😄
That's awesome. I didn't know that, Thanks@@n64glennplant
i loved the pc version i had on my windows 98 pc =D I always loved 1st person shooters and Age and Empires type of games. I did enjoy the n64 version with my cousins. really good review man. =D i need to catch up on the last few weeks ones
good to see you back kev hope the move went well. age of empires was classic - 2 was my fav!
Hey I am gonna go to the British isles over this summer what N64 should I revisit before going.
conkers bad fur day...no game has more british humour than that!
Idk why they ported it either, but it makes it easier to play a quick round with a friend, and it’s the only port that is split-screen.
Quake 2 on N64 is a huge leap but I do sometimes return to this from time to time
This game just got added to the recent Quake rerelease.
But it's more of "mode" than an expansion or Wad.
Yup been playing it for weeks already - good version
I remeber playing quake but I was playing goldeneye more than quake unfortunately but It was a good game none the less great review my friend im glad ur feeling better
thank you, yeah goldeneye must have been an oh shit moment for the developers of quake
***** At least they made a decent attempt at porting the pc version on quake to the n64 and I enjoyed doom 64 a lot from this developer
yeah they had a mixed bag in terms of their work on n64 but they at least left us with some good games
I only played the PC version, but it was a game I played a lot as a kid.
glad i wasn't the only person who enjoyed console and pc gaming at the same time!
My Uncle got me quake for Christmas 98 but by the evening I was balls deep into the 2 n64 games my mum bought me - Ocarina of Time and Turok 2
I think my dad mostly played and completed quake in the end , I just don't think I was interested as I had been rocking goldeneye for over a year already and still having fun with it as after unlocking every cheat and getting 2 bonus levels beating game on 00 agent , gameshark codes gave us more years of fun still
Quake2 on the N64 was my 1st intro to quakes world. I then went back and played quake N64. I preferred the 1st quake. I thought the level design was great in better and the atmosphere too. Quake 2 felt cold and mechanical to me even though technically it's a superior game. I never had the PC benchmark to compare.
I have this game i have the console but what do.i need to save ?
+WeLoveFCA You need memory card.
I consider myself nostalgic and never sold the first gen consoles. I can't even appreciate PS1, PS2, XBOX, N64 and Gamecube anymore.
The low textures and horrible graphics is not the nostalgia i remembered them as, whereas Sega Megadrive, NES, SNES and Dreamcast held up soo much better and I pick them up often over the other ones.
Personally I love the look of the PS1 and N64 generation. They have a certain charm on a nice CRT.
I've honestly never played Quake, but it is on my bucket list of games to play before I die. However, I have no desire to play it on the N64, as much as I love the system. This is a game that really needs to stay on PC were it belongs.
yeah if you only play one version make it the pc or saturn one if you do venture onto consoles is what id say
in 1996 i play only on Sega Mega Drive 2 :D
I think Quake came out too late on the system at that point the N64 had games like Turok which had amazing animation, Golden Eye which had sophisticated objectives and Doom 64 which look a hell of a lot better. As someone who owned pretty much every FPS game on the N64 I remember being really underwhelmed by this game. I also think they really screwed up the lighting, at the time magazines were talking about how technically impressive it was but it just looked really ugly and yellow(really, really yellow), when you compared it to their previous port of Doom you have to wonder what went wrong.
And don’t forget the multiplayer here! Glad quake 2 was so superior right
@@n64glennplant I really liked Quake 2, but I have to admit I had it on the PlayStation not the 64. It was really good port considering the hardware.
I had the saturn version, at the time I thought it brilliant. I think the saturn version was the best console version.
yeah and even now i think the saturn version is the best, so damn awesome
*****
Dude, would you consider doing a review of duke nukem zero hour ? best duke game ever made in my opinion.
Your reviews are really good, and I'd like to hear your views about DNZH.
yeah its been on my list to do for a while i really dig it too
Sometimes i would just stand there i the game and listen to the creepy soundtrack and noises :) Most games today lack that :(
The point of a N64 port of quake is so that people who have a N64 and not a good pc can play it. You don't port a game to another platform to make it into a completely different game.
+No one You know well you do because otherwise doom 64 wouldn't exist
N64 Glenn Plant Also because the N64 is too underpowered and uses gamepad so you HAVE to dumb down the game and make it different or it's just a huge piece of shit compared to its PC counterpart
Omg this is where the banjo tooie shoot out levels came from!
hehe so many memories :P
I got my look at quake 2 on n64 it was the only game my dad was good at and he would complete it in 3 Horus on hard but i still kicked his arsenin splitscreen cause ik new where al the good weapons were but just like you i used to watxh my dad play for Horus on my 64 playing quake 2
yeah i just reviewed quake 2 funnily enough!
Wolfenstein 3D is what started me on FPS although Doom did it much better obviously.
I never played Quake on N64, but I love it on PC. Quake 2 N64 was pretty decent though.
I am surprised that you haven't reviewed GoldenEye or Perfect Dark yet. I just assumed that you didn't like FPS games!
quake 2 is one of my fav n64 games, i thought i would save doing that until after i had covered this one :) ps i have reviewed goldeneye it was one of the first reviews i ever did :D
Good call! Quake 2 is great on any platform. :)
I have watched all of your reviews and I don't remember watching GoldenEye. I will have to look back through your videos. It would be nice to see a Perfect Dark video, since it is probably my favourite game of all time!
ill do my best! if you go to my main channel page and go to playlists i have them all in the n64 review one!
I hope they make a proper sequel to the original Quake with the different dimensions.
yeah man thats what I'm hoping for one day too, they took the series too modern IMO
What's it like on ultra HDMI ?
To be honest as much as I enjoyed GoldenEye 64 Quake 64 definitely has a better frame rate than what GoldenEye offers
And also Quake is a much better game to be honest because of the Ambien the characters and that awesome medieval castle you go through
still think these games are better on pc with mouse and keyb
Great review as usual though Glenn
yeah i agree mate, some do consoles well but most are suited to the pc even to this day i think
Cool beans your getting better mate and your Dad sounds boss cos my old man never even played our Speccy! lol Quake is hands down my fav FPS of all time I loved it on my PC I even enjoyed the PSOne version but I have never experienced this. Its a shame that they didn't add any thing new like the Doom port but I really should track my self a copy down as its QUAKE! ;) Great review!
defo dave, this is a cheap one to get a loose cart shouldn't cost more than a fiver and if you loved the pc quake then you'd blast through this in a weekend so quite a fun one to go through again
bought today
btw n64 quake lacks some of ss/pc levels
I remember being scared shitless off this game, so much that we never passed the first level I think.
