It’s fitting then, that in the era of stereoscopic 3D evolution, QUAKE II should be presented as one of the most forward-thinkīng FPS titles currently in the virtual reality space. An officially sanctioned mod that has made QUAKE II compatible with the Oculus Rift headset – and requiring minimal technical know-how – shows that creating 3D worlds is no longer just about throwing around polygons, it’s about creating a space with intrigue and suspense, and more importantly ensuring that the window dressing doesn’t get in the way.
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.
WTMG's Leo Faria: "This is possibly the best remastering effort by Nightdive I have ever seen. This isn’t just “a means to play Quake II on modern platforms”. Just like how a remaster should be, it is the ultimate way to play Quake II, the one version to rule above any other, the port that makes every single previously released iteration feel like unplayable garbage as a comparison. Add in the content previously available on the Nintendo 64 version, a brand new campaign by the makers of the new Wolfenstein games, and addictive multiplayer matches, and all for less than ten bucks? This is a no-brainer. This is. Go forth, retro shooter fans, this is the comfort food you’ve been waiting for."
Still the best quake.
Haha. Actually reminded me of this glorious video:

Man I miss this game like crazy! I use to use so many different models in Multiplayer...avp...sonic...sp iderman etc..lol It was soo much fun...I actually liked it more than Quake 3 although I think quake 3 had better maps!
This was actually my first PC game. I had a Pentium II with 128MB RAM. I don't know like a 16MB graphics card. It had DVD ROM. It was actually pretty rockin for the day. PII had just come out.
