I seem to have the newest version when I bought the pack from way back when, so yes.
Why would we @ you when A: Quake is dirt cheap and B: shareware Quake works with every source port I've heard of.
There's nothing wrong with talking about engine ports.
Can't get my brain to coordinate with gyro. It's definitely smooth and well implemented, but I just don't do well with gyro on Switch with any game. Guess I'm just too old school. I feel like i'm attempting to make precise aiming by moving the ENTIRE SYSTEM and often missing the mark wildly instead of just slightly adjusting my thumb. Either way, both control schemes seem well considered regardless how one plays. it's a great port all round!
Quake 1 has been horribly forgotten for so long, but NO LONGER! :')
And what a wonderful way to bring it back, hearing this thing is coming out OH AND ALSO ITS ACTUALLY OUT NOW really put a smile on my face. I feel like reading old CVG magazines again and getting lost in the hype.

It's smooth as silk on Xbox - as expected ofc.
But man, I just cant play these types of games with a gamepad :P

Nightdive Studio. Now you mentioned ultrawide implantation - I have to set mine up too just for this.
You and me both, friend. But I asked them last year, and they were kind enough to reply, but the news weren't so good:
No idea if things has changed since then, but I don't lose hope!
Thank you both. Been gaming for over 3 decades now and honestly the first time I have ever heard of this term.
Played around with the Steam version. This is a quality release. It defaults to basically everything I want out of a Quake source port. We don't even have to mod the music in either!
AND there are new expansions from Machine Games? This is such a nice surprise.

I'm a bit disappointed, the game controls terribly on Xbox. It feels like it's related to the dead zone on both sticks. It's weird and basically unplayable in MP.
Tried it out on Steam and at a glance it's pretty damn excellent. Display options let you toggle things like the dynamic shadows, texture smoothing, and model interpolation, so you can have it as new or old as you prefer. Someone mentioned something about gibbing not working earlier -- totally not true, works just as it always has.
That's just great! Seems like the port is the full deal!
I noticed the Xbox version has a bunch of graphical settings off by default including Ambient Oclusion, AntiAliasing, Texture Smoothing, and others.
Any benefit of leaving those off? or is this just personal preference?

I've got Quake 3 on the Bethesda launcher, but I'm thinking of grabbing Quake 3 on Steam while it's on sale.
I notice it doesn't mention cross play, but I wonder if that's going to get a free upgrade as well? Would be nice!

No worries! The only times I've encountered the word was in Quake and Unreal Tournament. It's selectively used I think.
My god, new content, a perfectly nice exe, all the official music, support out the box, my god it's all I've wanted. Once Arcane Dimensions becomes a simple "select and install mod" like they did with certain Doom WADs I'll just see myself out of new releases for awhile.
we luv u Nightdive

Also the controls on xbox are kinda off. can't seem to figure it out but i never feel like I'm aiming correctly.
I've turned most on as I assume it's just personal preference.
Oh god. I just realized something.
This has cross play.
Those maniacs who have been playing Quake since day one, that are essentially the most elite gamers I have ever run across are suddenly going to be fed a bunch of people trying to play this on dual analogue.
I hope someone streams it.

Well they will make some good money out of it. Also no use keeping these old classics exclusive, they will only piss off players.
I will double dip on Switch... What a great gaming month.
So last year I did a Quake marathon, and played through the base game, the expansions, and Arcane Dimensions. I used Quakespasm, and don't judge, played on my TV using a controller, which was quite a bit nicer to play than you may imagine. This does feel noticeably more "floaty" to control than that method on console, at least to my memory, though so far it's still an incredibly appealing package.
The new models seem nice, and are only a smallish upgrade over the originals. I'll probably play without them after my first play, but nice for an option. They don't feel out of place.
Just my initial thoughts after a couple of levels.

This somehow seems increasingly scummy.
Microsoft isn't some indie developer, they should just publish the damn thing themselves.
Okay glad to see a few posters feel similar. I couldn't even finish my multiplayer match it felt so bad on Xbox. Idk. Kinda disappointed this is my first experience with the Quake franchise.
Maybe I just haven't played Quake in a while, but is it me or does the audio sound extremely bad and distorted, with effects sometimes cutting out entirely?
I don't like that
Quake doesn't have view bobbing - it has weapon bobbing and camera rolling.
I like weapon bobbing, but hate camera rolling. Instant motion sickness.
Enabling the "view bobbing" and then setting
I need to figure out what command they're using to limit frame rate, too. 120 FPS at 120Hz feels laggy and the options are a limited drop-down rather than letting you enter a desired value.
Same thing for mouse sensitivity, actually. It's a slider in 0.5 increments.

cl_rollangle is tied in with cl_bob as a "view bob" option, either.Quake doesn't have view bobbing - it has weapon bobbing and camera rolling.

See?! I fucking tells ya'll!
wait wtf can someone link me the new trent reznor song? they didn't just get permission but he actually composed a new song?
The console is enabled by default on the Windows version.
You can switch into a mod pack with the `game` command. e.g. `game ad` for Arcane Dimensions, when you've put the appropriate data in your rerelease directory.
Some maps (one I've tested from Alkaline) do not work in this port. Seems they didn't raise the limits enough for the map loader. Map loading times are also quite slow compared to vkQuake.
