And the 360 port?

 

[Ceadeus]

I was about to post this. Really cool stuff and fun to listen to. It made me want to get #make 4 on 360 so I could play both quake 4 and quake 2 as a bonus.

[Hellmaker]

This is what I'm waiting for, and hoping for a switch version!

 

[Seider]

Best part of Quake 2 was its colored lighting. The gameplay and the campaign was very dull for me. And i loved Quake 1 played with a 3dfx.

 

[Knightime_X]

Wait, Quake 2 remaster is happening???

 

[Doczu]

I hope so and that it'll be done by Nightdive.
Imaging having OG Q2, N64 and PSX on 1 platform.

Q2 for life!

 

[Mattyp]

Q2 multitap on PS1 was the goldeneye killer people never played.

 

[Herbspiceguy]

Q2 was cool but couldn't match with the multiplayer madness through all the mods QuakeWorld had to offer. For years after Q2s release I'd still play QuakeWorld with the Q2 soundtrack.

It was great, I played it alot with my friends. Good times.

Man, Quake 2 means SO much to me. Our family got our first PC around its release, so, I fell in HARD. First experience with player models, sound packs, skins, custom maps, and full on mods. SO many good times. Rocket Arena 2, Gloom, Action Quake, Jailbreak, man, the list goes on. I know the remaster is hardcore rumored for Quakecon, I hope it's true, I figured they would've announced it at the opening ceremonies. But, I guess it could still happen at anytime.

 

[Cryio]

Quake 2 remaster? Didn't it kinda get a sort of remake/remaster with the RTX version? Path tracing, FSR, new textures.

 

[IDKFA]

Played the shit out of the PS1 version, even though I already had on the PC. Really, really great port.

I too loved this one. The railgun and grenade launcher being my favorite weapons. I loved dominating my friends bouncing grenades off of walls into other rooms knowing they'd be making specific moves right towards me. So much fun. I personally spent most of my time with the PS1 version and a multitap. Though I also had/have the PC version as well. Love the soundtrack, and I can't understand how people rave over the newer Doom's OST with NO RIFFS. Like good god man, at least one riff, instead its a teaser intro buildup into nothing. Such a waste, especially coming from a great legacy of great tunes across Doom and Quake.

 

[mrcroket]

Great game, I hate the backtracking level design tho

We need something like this:

[Spukc]

Quake 2 remaster is on oculus quest or RTX version

 

[Sp3eD]

I know this isn’t about the console ports of old, but I Cant wait to play a remake of Quake 2.

I know the rights would be a nightmare, but I wish they would do the multiplayer right in this one. Having mods like Q2 CTF, action quake (pretty much an early version of COD) and my all time favorite Rocket Arena 2 would be the the biggest nostalgia kick in the world to me.

Man rocket arena 2 in particular was my absolute jam. The summer of 99’ I played that like a job. The fact you can be in a server with like 20 people and they can all split into different one on one rooms along with a pickup team battle playing all together at once on the same server was incredible at the time. So many memories.

Edit it’s also when I first got my 3dfx voodoo card for $400 so the colored lighting was one of the coolest looking things ever to me. Finally, Also moving from a 33.6 modem to cable internet at the time first on familiar servers and having pings in the 30’s instead of 200’s.

I much prefer Andrew Hulshult's work as it has proper riffs. Check out his stuff on this game called Nightmare Reaper.

I played Quake 2 on PS1 with the controller and I don't remember it was bad? Try playing Forsaken with the controller, yeah good luck with that.

 

[nkarafo]

GL Quake 2 looks awful. I hope the remaster looks closer to the software version. Or at least have an option to remove colored lighting and the piss texture filtering.

FWIW I wanted to copy the Exhumed/Powerslave layout, but got overruled.

Funny but true fact. The game supports mouse+controller for all 4 players using paired multi-taps, BUT, they have to be first-party official multi-taps as third parties ones don't work because they are wired slightly differently.

hnngggggg

 

[Tomeru]

Still have the ost playing every once in a while. Sonic Mayhem was the shit. Still is. But why a remaster?

To make it playable on consoles? Like Quake 1. Fantastic remaster, need it for the sequel

Why not?

The same. The only thing I remember is you have to use the shoulder buttons to strafe. Not that bad though.
In any case there is a patch to implement modern controls.

So much better than what we got.
