It does not cut player's weapon model while in widescreen mode like in vkquake2, for example.

It will do on PS5 and Xbox Series S/X once the next gen binaries are released.
It absolutely is working, nothing to patch in that regard. I'm running 155 Hz right now. I've been running 155 Hz for the entire length of it's development.

Is there an issue with controls on the series x? It just doesn't feel right almost laggy. Switch seems fine to me tho.
Played it back in the day on a PC, but only ever just a few levels. Impulse buy on Switch and with mostly standard settings got a little motion sickness by the end of e1m3.
Activated camera movement while walking and adjusted graphics, control sensitivity and switched from Pro Controller to split Joy-Cons. Now motion sickness is gone and this plays so damn well now especially with the Joy-Cons. Thanks to gyro aiming the right one nearly acts like a mouse while I'm cozily laid back on the sofa destroying those ugly ass monsters.
It just makes so damn fun it's a real treat. Awesome port! Also aged really well plus 1080p60, updated models and things like depth of field and dynamic lightning doing their work. Love it!

Don't sleep on the new expansion, Dimension of the Machine. It's pretty incredible what they've done with the engine.
That's very much where a lot of Quake mapping is at these days. Machine Games basically made their version of Arcane Dimensions. Y'all should check some of that stuff out. :D
But yeah, it's pretty great. As with a lot of current map packs, the levels have really strong themes and are super varied. It's a treat.
I think people are going to be blown away by some of the mods that get added to this.
Damn. This game is really good.
Never played the original, but I recall my Dad playing it.
How come the voice quality in multiplayer is better than in most modern AAA games?

I'm playing on Xbox Series X, and yeah, there's a bit of input delay. Nothing that makes it unplayable, but it's definitely noticeable.
Edward850 You guys are no doubt aware, but just in case: the console versions desperately need access to deadzone / acceleration settings (if that is indeed where the problem is). Either that or a patch to fix whatever is wrong with the aiming.
Love everything else about the remaster, but right now I kind of regret purchasing the playstation version.

I played it yesterday @144fps. Didn't even have to change settings (was already the default setting). And I had v-sync on.
Yeah it nauseating honestly. I think its just a deadzone issue.
It's nice that I have the same ping on Quake servers in 2021 like I had on Quake World servers in 1996 :> ~130ms
HPW era is alive and well

The devs deserve massive kudos for the visuals - the default settings provide enough of an update while still retaining the same look and feel of the original - from my vague memories of playing it at my mates' house (probably running at a low resolution in software mode).
Kex is indeed a ridiculously good engine for all these older games. Seeing Shadowman, Quake and Turok 1/2 running on it with all the bells and whistles it provides is just great. Personally I'd love to see if Kex could fix all those horrible Tomb Raider 1-3 versions on Steam. They have bad controls and poor resolution support. Not a port beg, just would be awesome to see.
Edit - When I said bad controls, I mean bad gamepad support.

I'd be surprised if they have not been working on it for the last few weeks or even months if they want it out a year o 18 months from now.
Or maybe they've just been at it for days because their development stages probably differ from regular game developments.
Tried to play co-op with a friend but the ping makes it kinda unplayable, with 110 and spikes of 250...
I thought online was P2P?

for me
there seems like an acceleration on controls, like you are on rollerblades or something.
constantly gliding.
not sure if its same issue.
also not sure if quake was always like this. might have been.
Autorun is enabled in the Steam version, not sure for consoles.
Would you care to give a ballpark date? Maybe the month?
It's a phenomenal update already but don't think I've played anything yet on my new TV that's 120, 4k.
Hammer of Thyrion: Hexen II and HexenWorld for Linux, BSD, Unix, Mac OS X and Windows
Hammer of Thyrion, Linux source port of Hexen 2, Hexen2 for Linux, Hexen2 for BSD, Hexen2 for Mac OS X, Hexen II for Linux, HexenWorlduhexen2.sourceforge.net
I'm actually mid-playthrough with HoT and Game Of Tomes right now. 😊
I would just love to see the official release get the upgrade treatment, maybe include some of those GoT or Xability functions to really sweeten up the classes, and finally have Portal of Praevus available digitally.
Plus, it would help shine a spotlight on the game with the publicity Nightdive gets, which Hexen II deserves.
Sorry, can't. If it's about the future, then it becomes a PR question. I'm only allowed to tell you the present for this title. :P
This is difficult to rectify what with how the OG Tomb Raider games are designed.
The platforming is all done as a sort of grid system. So imagine you have to jump from column A to column B... you need to figure out in your head how many 'units' that column is away from you. So you might have to side step, then pivot so you're facing straight on, then run and then jump just as you're on the last 'unit' of column A.
These games expect you to take your time and try to line each jump up correctly. It's not like a Mario 3d game where you're given these huge platforms to jump between.
They're very much precise 2d platformers in a 3d space.
I'd be down for Tomb Raider as well tbh, big fan of the OG tomb raider especially
I'm wondering if they meant that the steam versions have poor gamepad support
Kinda wish they could get a speedometer up on the console versions of this lol. Always fun to have on Quake haha.
I'm aware, I was meaning in reguards to gamepad support. I finished OG TR on Saturn and TR 2 and 3 on PSX, so I'm aware how they play, but the control support in Steam is awful.
Basically this.

gotta remember the publisher behind this is Bethesda, you're only gonna get info like that from them. I think Ed and the Nightdive folks are otherwise happy to tease when it's their own releases.
No stress honestly, I always appreciate any response and yours was pretty great in explaining how the game engine works and such. I should have been clearer, so this one's on me.
Yeah its not right, quake controls were always super precise on PC. Switch doesn't seem to have that issue, the controls seem really responsive.
This isn't related to Quake. But in Q3A how do you access the config file to make it run wide screen.

A bit LTTP, but what an awesome surprise!
I could not get Quake to run above... maybe 5-10 fps on our old computer, so I actually never played it..!
Rectifying this mistake as we speak: my first hour really feels as good as Doom, wow..!
And not fully related, but I am about to start reading "Masters of Doom", so I am really in the flow with these retro ID shooters at the moment.

This is a Quake 1 remaster, good sir. Why are you talking about Quake 2? The last port it ever received was on the 360, or the free RTX port (which has both of those things). The original PC version won't have these things as it was made in the 90s.
…was just curious? They just put them out all at the same time.
They technically did on gamepass, yes, but the catch there is Quake 2 and 3 are the original executables from the 90s. Not new ports.
