Free Next-Gen Update Available Now for Quake

The save path to almost every cross gen game for sony has been abysmal tho. I don't think its fair to point them out in this situation.
It's been hit-and-miss. The process can be inelegant, but it's been shown to be feasible. FFVII:R, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, Crash Bandicoot 4, Greedfall, hell, even Bugsnax supports save transfers from PS4 apps to PS5.

Where it's unclear is for games that release simultaneously on PS4 and PS5, and my guess is Sony may have a hand in it due to trophies. For example, neither COD Cold War or Kena: BOS have a save transfer option, but they also released day and date on both platforms. Bethesda not doing it for a port of Quake (1996) clearly appears to be a conscious decision to not.

Even when you do the save transfers between PS4 and PS5 and you automatically acquire a slew of trophies - it breaks the integrity of the whole thing imho. Sony should relax the whole thing.

Any Quake save created on Xbox One will work on Xbox Series X/Series S provided the same Xbox Live account is used

Ok horde mode is really fun, but man I don't remember the netcode of Quake being this bad - and I used to play on 56k. Felt like a stutter fest the whole time... I'll have to try it again this weekend because it was definitely a good time.

Update 2 contains a brand-new Horde Mode made by MachineGames with 1-4 player co-op (including optional bots), new Add-on "Honey", some quality-of-life improvements, and bug fixes.
It also marks the Quake release on the Epic Games Store (for PC). With Horde Mode you can play solo, with bots, or friends, and face off against waves of enemies of increasing difficulty. Earn Silver Keys to unlock access to better weapons. Survive long enough and earn a Gold Key, which will allow you to escape, or stay behind and fight against the armies of Quake until you fall



HORDE MODE


Overview

  • All new multiplayer PvE experience designed by MachineGames
  • Supports 1 - 4 players or bots in local multiplayer and online modes (Custom matches only)
  • Playable on all difficulty levels
  • Includes 4 new maps specifically designed for Horde Mode

Rules

  • Score points by killing enemies
  • Kill multiple enemies in quick succession for bonus points
  • Your progression is reset after the last player dies
  • Every 3rd wave has boss monsters but once you clear it, you get a Silver key to unlock more weapons and items
  • After the 9th wave, you get a gold key to unlock the exit, or you can keep fighting as long as you are able
  • Monsters have a chance of dropping quad damage and the pentagram of protection (powerups last for 5 seconds once picked up and despawn if not picked up after 10 seconds)

The last update has completely removed the quake 64 soundtrack apart from the level complete music. While playing through, it randomly plays the reznor soundtrack. Wtf
