I hope this version has easy to join and play online co-op without the need to port forward like the Quake 1 remaster. Not to mention the cross-platform online.

Quakecon is tomorrow/today on August 10th in Texas at the Gaylord Hotel (yes that is the name) and lasts to the 13th. So this makes sense. I am hoping for something new though besides this.

It won't look anywhere near as good as the RTX version. It will get the same treatment the original game got in 2021.
Hopefully we get a Quake reboot announcement too, though I'm not holding my breath.

How can you even tell from SteamDB page? It only says that it was updated 2 days ago, which can mean anything.

Speaking of, anyone would be up for a deathmatch in Q3 on PC?

Probably better considering how badly the RTX version butchers the game's vibe.

I wish. Life was essentially playing the shit out of Tiberian Sun, doing stupid shit with friends and getting good grades without doing anything. My biggest worry was how to beat certain missions in the Nod campaign. Good times...
Edit: Actually, I think I must've been even younger than 12 when Tiberian Sun came out. Probably around 7 or so.

Reddit explained this to me: Quake 1 Enhanced is on the normal Steam listing for Quake 1, and it's the same case here. Quake 2 now has a depot called "old_ver" which happened with Quake 1 a day before Quake 1 Enhanced was announced and released. Quake 2 Enhanced was previously rumoured to release on August 11th and this matches up perfectly.

Stoked about this, I hope it's treated with love as Q2 means a whole lot to me. Really excited and hoping to hear about id's new game. Last year they said they weren't quite ready. They gotta be ready this year.

I really hate when they go and fuck with a perfectly clean, old game install. They're going to overwrite my classic setup for this game and break my mods, I just know it. I don't want to run the game through their shitty Unity engine conversion. I don't want to download 5GB of garbage "remastered" assets if I just want my 400MB classic Quake 2 installation. Fuck off.

True. The old version should still be made available.

Any of Y'all got Quake 3 Arena RTX?

Yeah, on top of that, I noticed after I posted that they essentially uploaded a new build of the game that's currently still encrypted. This could also mean a mere patch, but seeing how it's a 20+ year old game then I doubt that it's gonna be just a patch, lol.

Did the RTX version had improved assets or "just" Raytracing?

Reminder that you can install the original to run natively on Quest2, and it's worth it: https://sidequestvr.com/app/353/quake2quest

Lol, how does that work with motion sickness? I wonder if they've nailed it for a lot of people. The first time I played Quake on the OG Oculus (it was the dev model, so things have certainly improved since then) I got SO messed up, lmao.
