The Xbox port feels utterly fantastic, but there's hardly any gibs. Only got two so far with the double barrel.
Hmmm indeed …
Awesome! Wonder if my Mission Pack #1 saves will make the cut haha.
Edit: Ah, you can still launch QuakeWorld from the installation directory. WinQuake, too.

Try the "Verify integrity of game files" option and it should trigger the update, that's what I had to do.
Now I have options to either play new version or the original.
Lol I know it's the black sheep of the franchise but I love it and now that ms owns the IP there's no reason to not at least make the 360 version back compat.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUS! Out of no where! Finally!
I've waited so long for Quake 1 to return, finally after all these retro FPS releases they finally get to the best one!
Quake 1 is such a huge part of my gaming identity, even as a console/Nintendo guy, at that moment in time Quake 1 was everything. Reading about it in gaming mags, absorbing all the hype, playing the weird space medieval lovecraftian story then playing LAN multiplayer with my brother and bots! So many memories.
And as usual they do SUCH an amazing job with these re-releases, above and beyond with the content added (and more to come!) All for a nice little price, this is how all retro releases should be done. <3
<3 Hello again my old friend! <3

That's concerning. Q1 is one of the very very best with gibs (and gibbing sounds).
Now that the Steam version has updated, gibbing is definitely still there. It's in the gameplay demo at the start. Grenade launcher.
edit: Actually, it seems toned down. The zombies are liquified but I'm not seeing any gibs. What's up with that.
edit edit: There are definitely gibs. Saw them in the first level when I blew up a barrel. Comparing it with the original version, I don't think anything was changed.

Yeah, but in-game it's not gibbing for me. Just tried it even with the grenade launcher in a later map. I need my enemies to explode.
So this is gonna just update the existing steam version? Dope. So glad they I've been putting off replaying the game, gonna definitely do it now. Might also try it via GamePass on Xbox one for fun
Never played Quake but am going to very soon now, but what the heck are all of these "gibs" you all are talking about? Lol
How big is this download on Steam? Just so I know it's been updated.
Nightdive's logo.

yes, it's even on the store page (and mentioned here a couple of times).
yup
60 of course. You've not heard of Nightdive before? :D
This is EXACTLY what I'm going to do!
OH GOD LET LRG DO A PHYSICAL RELEASE!!
Gibbing is a very old gaming term that means blowing an enemy into chunks.
That's why things like the railgun was considered an "instagib" back in the day. One shot and the opponent exploded into chunks.
F**king Quake 64 just for no reason as well... WHY NOT?? I love these guys. Forgot to mention Nightdive in my gushing on Twitter so I'll do it here.
<3 Retro releases done right!
Not only getting my PC nostalgia on but wonderful N64 too - OK THEN!

Man it's been awhile since I last played Quake and I don't think I've ever played it much on a console, but it feels weird to me how fast you move around and how slow the mouse look is by default. Going to have to tweak that a bit. It feels so weird right now.
Quake 4's dumb fun. Not as good as 1 but better than 2 campaign-wise
The original version is still dirt cheap on CDkeys, I wonder if I can still upgrade if I buy that version.
