Yeah, Call of Machine could be a stand alone game. Really next level Quake 2 experience. Holy shit some of the rooms have insane enemy counts. Tons of fun gibbing mobs.

I started Call of the Machine and it’s great. Just got the grenade launcher and I’m wiping out enemies across the map. It’s very well made. Taking out the turret drones with the super shotgun is also a good time.

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

Just played multiplayer. Thank god finally a retro shooter with working rooms you can join.

 

[Dream-Knife]

I’m sure gyro aiming is awesome. But I hate this notion that fps with an analog controller is somehow compromising the experience. Quake 2 is not even REMOTELY hard enough to warrant needing kbm or gyro. I would even say its easier than most Call of Duty campaigns. And its multiplayer suite was never exactly known for being super balanced or competitive, that was Quake 3.

All the games I played tonight, console players were at the bottom of the scoreboard.

I can't imagine playing this with a controller.

Must be bugged then becaude Quake 1 remaster felt good on ps5

It was the same deal with Quake 1 remastered. I just assumed I was playing against people on switch.

 

[nkarafo]

I love how the pics in the OP have no bilinear filtering.

That shit completely mangled the textures in the original game. You would lose a ton of detail and yet people though it looked better because of "no pixels".

 

[existensmaximum]

So where is the autoexec file on the gamepass version? I can’t find it anywhere.

Right next to config.sys, you can't miss it!

 

[Tommi84]

Larian can't even get to 2

Please remind me which console owner's devs have also been assigned in helping to fix this problem

 

[Lucifers Beard]

I will never understand how I managed to play and complete this back on PS1 many many years ago.

I’ve been playing this on PC with mouse and keyboard whilst thinking that playing controller must be a miserable experience.

I haven’t jumped on yet.

Man we used to punish this on PS1 with a multitap it was better than Goldeneye there I said it.

Downloading now let’s go boys.

Tried it and i don't know about these controls, i can't find the right settings on xbox

Well, just hook up your KB+mouse then!

 

[Pakoe]

Time to replay Quake 1 and 2.

 

[Morrie’s wig shop]

Man, even though it's on gamepass, I think the gyro aiming that both Sony and Nintendo controllers provide are almost a necessity for a game like this if you're going to play on console.

Edit: You heathens need to try gyro aiming.

You only say this because Microsoft doesn’t have gyro control right, am I doing this right??
Cause some chode in here thinks draugoth is an Xbox fanboy and with venom in his veins purposely left out the PlayStation in the title. Holy Shit!!!

Yep. It's criminal that the system with the most shooters is the only one with no gyro.

I dare people to play Neon White with just the dual sticks. It's coming up on GP soon. I hope people post some of their times. I'd honestly be surprised if people can even finish the game.

 

[Lillie]

Yes. Just got the update on steam.

W.

how many players is the co-op? is it just 2 or does it go to 3 or 4?

 

[Puscifer]

These guys can do 8. Larian can't even get to 2. What the heck.

I think the difference is you're remastering a game that can run on Nintendo DS

QuakeIIDS

QuakeIIDS is the homebrew port of Quake II, the hit first-person shooter from 1996, to the Nintendo DS handheld system.

[Lillie]

Does the steam version connect to xbox for achievements (so that I can get achievements on both steam and xbox at the same time)?

 

[Krappadizzle]

 

[Evil Calvin]

Had to re-map the controls on Steam Deck. The community layouts did not let you move forward using the left stick. Had to add keybind for inventory too. Not sure why they couldn't just have an option for a controller.

 

[Phobos Base]

Not sure if I'm a fan of the new Beserker attack, feels almost impossible to avoid. But other than that, I've having a blast.

How strong is the aim assist? If they bump it up to CoD levels it should help.

The other problem might be the fact that quake doesn’t need / have an ADS mechanic, which I think helps with aim assist somehow.

 

[MadchesterManc]

Already tried this enhanced release on PC (free as I already had it on steam for the RTX version) and its great given all the added bonuses and online. Thinking of gifting a few copies to some old-timers for some coop

I haven’t jumped on yet.

Same, 4 player was a blast on PS1. Would still hook it up for the odd session in the early days of PS2 (smoothed textures and faster CD loading was the icing on the cake)

 

[Tommi84]

Why?

Just for the context of 'Larian can't do split screen', where it's not only a THIRD PARTY, but maybe someone else too

 

[NovaSe7en]

Anyone tried on Steam Deck?

Edit: Playable, but controller support not great.

Well, just hook up your KB+mouse then!

I don't have a mouse or a keyboard, anyway i changed some options and it's much better now

 

[RoboFu]

That’s because MK is easy mode. Point and click. You can’t really miss. Can you click on a folder? Then you can kill in a fps with MK.

 

[intbal]

A few commenters on YT videos are saying the mouse and keyboard support is buggy on console. It cuts out after playing for a while.

Why not just buy the Xbox version and download the pc version off the Xbox app for pc?

 

[xandaca]

Bought the Switch version and am having a lot of fun despite being absolutely terrible at it and only playing on Medium difficulty. The slippery movement is faster than I'm used to and if it weren't for motion aiming, I'd have died even more than the countless times I already have. The chunky art design holds up extremely well and it's enjoyable just to wander around finding secrets. Slightly dreading later levels getting even harder (I've only just finished the first section, secret level included) but so far very happy with it. Will try online multiplayer once my skills are closer to an acceptable level.

 

[Fuz]

I’m sure gyro aiming is awesome. But I hate this notion that fps with an analog controller is somehow compromising the experience. Quake 2 is not even REMOTELY hard enough to warrant needing kbm or gyro. I would even say its easier than most Call of Duty campaigns. And its multiplayer suite was never exactly known for being super balanced or competitive, that was Quake 3.

Super ignorant post.

 

[EverydayBeast]

Only reason I’m buying quake 2 is because of nostalgia and the good arena feel.

 

[DelayTheSun]

I just checked my purchase history and the "Super ID Software Pack" was the 5th thing I ever bought on Steam for $35 in 2008 (!). It must have been on a crazy sale since I think the regular price was $100. To think that they gave me this upgrade 15 years later at absolutely no cost (along with the Quake 1 upgrade) is kind of incredible. People will always find something to gripe about, but this is Good Guy ID stuff to be sure.

 

[S0ULZB0URNE]

Dont forget its coming to PS and xCloud too.

Quake 2 Remaster Out Now on PS5, PS4, Complete with New Levels, Motion Aiming, and More

Bang for your buck

Yeah thread title needs fixing.

 

[Schmick]

Has anyone tried this yet coz damn its good. I've never tried the N64 version and appreciate that I've been given the opportunity to play it. I've been playing Quake 2 on both Steam and xCloud.

Can the switch version let us use the N64 controller?

Edit: You heathens need to try gyro aiming.

I wish more games would actually enable Gyro on PS: I tried Overwatch on my steam deck for example and it’s hard to go back to not having gyro. Speaking of which I’ll probably get this on Steam Deck so curious if anyone has impressions yet?

 

[twilo99]

I don’t think my GPU even turns on with this game lol

 

[Havoc2049]

The Achievements are thankfully strait forward. Finish Quake II, Call of the Machine, The Reckoning, Gound Zero and Quake II 64 for 100%.

 

[TrueGrime]

Well, just hook up your KB+mouse then!

Found myself in a definite PC lobby last night. Wasn't doing bad, but I know I wasn't going to be Top 3. Lol. Still had plenty of fun getting my shit kicked in as a controller player.

 

[Doczu]

A few commenters on YT videos are saying the mouse and keyboard support is buggy on console. It cuts out after playing for a while.

Nothing a patch can't fix. I played Q1 on my PS4 with kb+m before they added more control settings. Afterwards i found a sweet spot on the gamepad and didn't bother plugging it again.

I don't play mp so gamepad is enough and it wirks betther in Q2 from the get go

£7.99 for a remaster of one of the best FPS ever made, plus multiplayer, plus split screen play, plus a new expansion!

Are you listening, Take 2? This is how you bring back a classic.

And at minimum they will add the PS1 version in the future.

And if the previous remasters of Doom and Q1 show we may get more free stuff.

Yep, they knownhot please us right

You are missing the main gold nugget here. ID VAULT. They added documents, photos, models, PLAYABLE E3 showcase demos that never saw the light of day since e3 1995, prints of levels hand drawn, so much retro footage of making of Q2 that doesn't exist anywhere else.

 

[DryvBy]

This is an excellent port. I'm also proud according to PSN Profiles I'm the first to have the PS5 trophy for finishing the N64 port. 2-3 hours of muscle memory lol
