QUAKE available on Xbox One/Series (Game Pass), PS4, Switch, PC (Remastered visuals | OLD + NEW DLCs + Quake 64 & Local/Online MP w/crossplay | $9,99)
- Thread starter Raigor
- Start date
Dunno why you'd want RT on Quake, but the Quake 1 engine infamously has issues running at >72fps without some clever source port magic. Since this is a KEX engine port to multiple platforms, they'd likely start with the original final source pre-GPL because of GPL constraints, so >72fps would probably be a stretch goal for a later update.
Unfortunately you gotta talk to Activision about those.
And they're only interested in Calla Dooty these days.
if you're hyped for this, you should grab their Turok 1 and 2 remasters. So good.
Did you hear that it was changed? Steam still hasn't been updated so I can't check.
While we're at it, why is there no next gen Hexen? They have a million FPS studios, get to it.
Already own them :)
Replaying those games, on my Switch, was so good.
Bought the Xbox version and a few things of note (Played on Series X):
-It does support keyboard, I'm able to use it just fine. Can't get it to recognize a mouse though, even though the options has a section for one.
-Quake 64 seems to be the original 64 game, resolution and all. Noticeably blurrier compared to the main game, although as an option it's nice to have.
-Activating mods is exactly like it is with the unity ports of Doom.
Can't jump into the game any further atm (stupid work >:[ ) but I'm definitely giving this full attention later on.

So you're telling me there's a chance! I hope the details will be revealed later today.
Do they? I mean, id Published them, and they run on the Doom and Quake engines. To my knowledge, the only thing Activision has to do with Heretic/Hexen/Hexen 2 is now owning Raven, who developed them. I mean, the games are even included in the id collection on Steam.
Edit: I guess Hexen 2 was distributed by Activision, but id was still the publisher.

lol me too, as soon as I saw this thread checked the game on steam and bought it.
If I had to guess, it's being taken down briefly to update the store page.
Some people reported not seeing Quake on Steam anymore. I see it on Quakecon page on Steam (probably because I own it) - notice it's not on sale.
Playing it on my phone using my Razer Kishi right now. 60 fps helps with FPS titles on cloud streaming, but it's still less than ideal.
Steam store page has been updated to reflect the remaster: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2310/QUAKE/
Patch is out on Steam, the store page has been updated accordingly, and the base price has been bumped up to USD$9.99 (as expected).
Same here, went from £3.99 to £7.99, managed to just squeak in at the lower price
Nice!!! Definitely trying this out tonight, that was a nice surprise for Bethesda to update everyone who already had Quake for free!
Uhh something happened with the Quakecon feed, it's showing a tournament instead of the event lol
Wont let me launch it though lol
Restart Steam. Bethesda was a bit late with updating the launch options, and restarting Steam will force a refresh.
I played it on Xbox just now and it seemed like enemies weren't gibbing. Maybe it only happens with stronger weapons now?
Hm, I downloaded the game from scratch. Steam said it was over 1 GB but the game barely seems updated. I don't see any options for high resolutions or widescreen, I don't hear any music when I start the game.
There's no Nightdive logo either. Weird.
edit: Launched it again. This time it started the right version.

i hope the old branch is still easily available for people if it makes it harder to mess around with in some ways
other than that i really appreciate the fact that i just got it for free!
