Next-Gen's hearing buzz that id is going to announce a deal with Valve at Quakecon this week...
No, it's not your dream FPS where Gordon Freeman battles Strogg, but it sounds likely that id will be bringing its games to Valve's Steam digital distribution platform.
Quake 4 arrived as an Xbox 360 launch title soon after its PC debut, and heralded an era in which the single-player FPS dominated.
For me, what launched the single player FPS campaign on consoles was Playstation DOOM which I bought during the launch window for the Playstation 1 back in 1995 which ended up being the best port of DOOM on consoles back in the 90s .
Oh man, that William's Doom on PS1 had the best music/ambience! Really sounded hellish and it still sounds amazing today. I always preferred it over the original Midi music from PC. Doom 64 was really good too for that era!
I hope Nightdive does a remaster of QUAKE 4 to be released on all current platforms .
For sure. It was one of the 360 launch titles I picked up and enjoyed
it. But I really hope they do a Quake 3 Arena with crossplay option too. I recently went back and played on PC, and had a ton of fun. Would be nice to have servers officially reopened with a retail remaster! The Unreal Tournament and Quake 3 days are my fondest memories of online shooters.
You could do far worse on the 360 back in the day it was a excellent port of a at the time fairly demanding PC game.
A brilliant standard setter for remasters and re-releases going forward, Quake 2 feels like a love letter to one of the grandfathers of boomer shooters.
Tried the Quake 2 multiplayer on PS4: for a couple of hours last night
Had a lot of fun .
Remasters don't get much better than this. Kudos, Nightdive Studios!
THIS is a remaster. In every way possible. But more importantly in the place that matter most, the gameplay department. The controls feel so much better than the original and it lets the game shine in ways it never did. The shooting is more responsive and the movement much tighter. It also tone down the sliding feeling and the weird Mouse look movement. It just works.
I played the QuakePro mod and while it did good things I found the original gameplay was still quite cumbersome. Not anymore bay bay. This things is near perfect.
NOW I can see why some consider this game better than Quake 1. NOW I see it.
...And it might just be.
Sick ass game fr
No battle pass, no skill trees, just your gun and your strafing ability. Pure gaming fun.
Thats cool, and to think that it was Doom 3 against Half Life 2 for the next best graphics competition back in the day.
This is like when sonic ended up on a nintendo system!
I am happy this is making STEAM an even bigger competitor against Games 4 Windows Live no? :P
