You're the reason I actually played through quake. I had it sitting in my library, never played. As of now, I have beaten every campaign on nightmare difficulty. Thank you.
yes, big fat thank you from me too. probably the most tasteful remasters ive seen in a while. all enhancements optional, nothing overdone and everything still fits the original. this is how you do a remaster well. Guys who messed up the XIII remaster look at how its done!
Comment from user name "76561197965397657" on STEAM : Quote> John Carmack and id Software knew what they were doing when they released the source code for Quake in 1999. They knew what they were doing when they chose to write all of the Quake code in-house rather than relying on proprietary third party libraries to create Quake. John commented on the problems using a paid proprietary sound engine for Doom caused them in the long run and it was one of the reasons why their future engines strove to be a self-reliant as possible thus resulting in some of the most easily portable engines ever created. The new Nightdive version of the game is a disaster and an affront to everything Quake stood for. The approach would make perfect sense for console releases given they will always be inherently proprietary and closed walled, however there was no reason for the PC release to be like this. One of the things talked about extensively on the release stream was the fact that Quake was so important because of its modability and inevitable open source nature; how does this new project at all reflect either of those things? How does it reflect anything the Quake stood for or what made the game great in the first place? How are problems supposed to be fixed in this new version? Begging Nightdive to consider fixing them? What happens in five, ten, or fiften years from now when it no longer works on more modern hardware and operating systems? You beg? Nothing about this new release for PC is good. It is an affront to everything that made Quake great and unendingly relevant. ^^' sorry !
@@Z0MBUSTER I don't get it? Isn't the source code still available? Why care about this version at all? Write it off as a console cross platform version that will ultimately end like every console game does.
I legit saw this title and yelled "of fucking COURSE you did that!" Seriously, thank you for actually doing work to properly bring these games to modern consoles, because there are so few people actually doing that
I saw that quake got updated on steam and saw all the content and options and and actually wondered if MVG had anything to do with this and what do you fucking know!
Hearing again that you got your professional start on your career as a homebrew dev is really inspiring to me to more seriously undertake my own projects that are as of now on the backburner. Already thought of some ways to handle implementation which I was previously struggling with conceptualizing.
@@TheArtunism 90% of my problem with getting started is just finding the willpower to work on something I know can't possibly make any returns for at least a year, and for which time investment would take directly away from "more important" things in my life, mainly schooling from which I'm not learning much. Forward planning is one of my greatest personal struggles.
Amazing job on the remaster! As someone who played competitive Quake for over a decade (mostly QW but some NQ initially), the addition of client-side prediction for movement was great and unexpected! No ice skating! The game was very playable on 100+ ping and I had a blast DM'ing, something I couldn't normally tolerate in OG NQ. The addition of modern features such as high refresh rate and frame rates are also greatly appreciated, Q1 on a 240hz monitor @ 500 fps is awesome. :) I would love to see what you guys could do if you were to reimagine Q1 in a modern engine such as the one used in Doom Eternal. I think you're right about the appetite for arena shooters starting to return. I think a proper Q1 remake could be hugely successful, similar to Doom.
Honestly I’ve been watching a lot of your videos lately, programming it’s been one of my frustrated dreams, and every video I watch from you is a living adventure in the topic, congratulations for this project, I will check it out. You are an example dude.
He's not making the game he's making it work on other formats. I'm no programmer by a long shot. But if I got paid to port games I could do it. It's all pasta
I got the 25th anniversary on my switch remembering stories my father told me about the game. I used to play quake 3 arena in school but that's as much of the games I had experience befor recently. Picking up quake was one of the best things I've ever done. It re ignited a passion for gaming and first person shooters in me that I thought was long gone. Now I proudly play "boomer shooter" as my main form of gaming entertainment and it feels like I'm a kid again experiencing games for the very first time again. I might just be nostalgic for a time I was too young to experience but I can confidently say that today's generation yerns for quake and they didn't even know it.
I lost a friend two years ago and he would have loved this. Already bought and will play this weekend in his honor. Thank you for making this a reality.
I remember booting up my Switch and seeing in the news section that Quake had been released on all modern systems. I bought it in a heartbeat and I am loving it a lot! Congrats on this amazing port!
You're one of the few Homebrew developers who does just as much for the Homebrew scene as he does for the commercial scene and I think I speak for everyone here when I say thank you Mvg
@@beanwithbacon how so.. what is different about it on pc? Another comment on here said his steam version was fully upgraded.. not being a duck I’m genuily curious
@@JaredConnell I mean, for as bad as the LJN games are, they were at least complete and functional, which was the only thing the Seal of Approval was meant to confirm. This is leagues ahead of a lot of the schlock that came out on the pre-NES systems that caused the Crash of 1983. Nintendo themselves couldn't reasonably confirm the quality of every game, but they _could_ at least prevent another ET and Pacman situation.
I’ve been hoping for a proper remaster of this game since I played it back in 96. I love what I’ve played so far. Just as good as I remember, thanks for keeping everything intact and polishing it up even more.
Thanks for the great port! IMO this is the gold standard thus far as for how to do a port. I love the inclusion of local and online multiplayer and coop, I have this on switch and it has been a blast to play with friends. I feel far to often developers feel local offline play isn't necessary, but the fact that because I can play this offline means during covid I can get some buddies together, set up the projector outside where there is no internet and frag the hell out of eachother. The only thing I wish this port had was local wireless on the switch, but im nitpicking now, great job!
I had an absolute blast playing this last night. Fantastic job here guys. And also thanks for making it free for owners of original steam release very much appreciated.
I admit I've never played the original, but this looks like a great place to start. This is great work and you deserve all the praise given to you man. : )
I am so glad for you. You are one of the best gaming related youtubers out there and I hope you'll only have amazing projects going on from now on and spoil us with all those amazing videos on developing, modding, cracking, homebrew scene and everything else.
im "only" 26 years old, but quake was one of my first video games i have ever played! And Im happy i can experience this one more time in better quality!
This is hands-down the best port of Quake I've yet played--looks and plays way better than a lot of the quake engines available now IMO! I did run into a pretty annoying bug on PS4 where the game crashed on quicksaving and corrupted all my data, and it seems to have a rare tendency to freeze at the beginning of multiplayer games on switch, but otherwise it's been smooth sailing. You guys did a kick ass job, and deserve all the kudos in the world. ❤️
I think your involvement with Nightdive is fascinating, and I would love to hear more about what working with them is like, how you first got involved, what sorts of challenges are faced with translating older games to modern systems, etc. Are you an official employee or is it more contract work that you do? What's a normal day like for you when you aren't making videos? Really anything you'd be allowed to share would be incredibly interesting - I think pretty much all of us would love a video on the topic!
My favorite thing about this is how you can adjust the settings to have normal character frames with swirling faces looking like they are draining out the back of their skull... This in no way is a bad thing as it gives me so much laughter in the midst of slaughtering enemies. Annihilating an enemy into a bloody mess to look over & see your teammates face eating itself is awesome
This truly does look like a work of love and passion, you can truly see how much care went into it. Very proud of you and your team, MVG. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
You did a bloody amazing job, along with the rest of the team, man! It's incredibly well optimized and even runs on lower end computers! Cross play is an amazing feature! THANK YOU MVG!
As an idTech derivative modder (Goldsrc and Source), this is amazing and I can't wait to see the potential this port will bring, putting aside the fact that it's great as a standalone piece of work. Glad to hear you worked on it, you're a true blue bloke. Keep it up you fuckin' legend.
You guys did a fantastic job. I've been playing it since the (re)release and loving it all over again (yes I am old enough to have been there for the original release!). Even got some late night deathmatch going this past weekend with a couple of friends and it was perfect and worked like a dream. Thanks to everyone involved in this project, this is how remasters should be done!
Just had a playthrough after updating on Steam, what a fantastic time to be alive 😁 Thanks MVG and everyone at Nightdive for bringing this game to 2021! Now, where's my Nine Inch Nails CD....
I definitely like how clean and easy setting up multiplayer coop sessions is compared to a few sourceports and vanilla. Also, yay, you preserved the quake console (really the first of its kind) so I can load in mods and switch levels
I just wanted to send you the BIGGEST effing thankyou for helping to make this happen! It has been freakin' awesome to finally sit back, relax on the couch and play Quake on the big screen with a controller. The gameplay has translated to consoles so incredibly well. Fantastic work and I'm sure we're all hoping the success from this sees Quake 2 and 3 get the same treatment in the near future!
Immediately downloaded it on to my Series X yesterday when I saw it pop up in gamepass. It plays awesome and the 4k 60fps is just beautiful. You guys really did a good job on this!
You guys did an amazing job! Loved the new Machine Games episode especially, and super glad all the new graphical features are subtle and don't go overboard and spoil the atmosphere. I've been a massive fan of Quake since it came out, and was fairly active in the mapping community, so it's been such a treat to get this fantastic remaster as a free upgrade on Steam :)
I really like how the new version looks. At first glance it's the same but the atmosphere has been improved by subtle lighting. There's more depth now. Base Quake can look very flat which was one reason I preferred the Saturn version as that was very shadowy with bursts of lurid colour.
Saturn version was amazing!! Still my prefered version of Quake! I thought after launching game yesterday... is this a port of Saturn? It looks very similar but hi-res. Played a bit & realized nope. But I think it takes some of what made the Saturn port special & includes it in this version. Also somewhat supporting that is the Nightdive trailer for Powerslave: Exhumed that specifically shows it combines the Saturn & Playstation versions of Powerslave!! I can not wait for this!!
Been playing Quake on Playstation since the release a few days ago and I gotta say you and the other developers did an amazing job. The game looks great, even in 2021. Well done, sir.
The Quake remaster kicks ass, man! You've got one hell of a portfolio. Thank you for helping to bring one of the best games ever made forward, so that we can enjoy it in a new light on newer systems!
Just wanted to say thanks for gifting this incredible release to those of us who had already purchased Quake on Steam. This is definitely my favourite way to play Quake. :)
Thanks to you and your team and collaborations for this. Been longing for a modern console port for years. I played Q1 and Q2 so much as a teen on the N64 and Saturn. Never played the mission packs so once I am through vanilla Quake I will be straight onto those. Thanks to all involved.
I started playing WinQuake almost a year ago and I really got interested in, however the controls were kinda weird of course and I then stopped playing it. Now that it's remastered I'll definitely try it and see if I'll get better experience Edit: If you got Quake on Bethesda launched for free from last year's QuakeCon you'll get the remaster for free and you could also change it to original WinQuake if you want
The default quake controls are garbage, but WASD was made specifically for quake, so i don't know what issues you had, when configuring the controls is an option and promoted
This is one of the few remasters that I think really outshines the original, looking much better but still very much in the style of the original game. Awesome work.
Great job! I'm normally not one for remasters but this one looks like it was definitely given love and care. Those early id masterpieces were what got me into computers, and the modding throughout the years got me into art. Thanks you and your team for not half-assing this project.
Decided to re-play through Quake on steam recently. What good timing :D Was super surprised whenever I noticed it had an update. Been enjoying the expansion packs & the Nintendo 64 mod, along with some online deathmatch. Thank you & everyone else associated for making this possible :) This has totally brought me back to my childhood....
Never really played Quake until Quake 3 in 1999 (because my PC wasn't powerful enought for the 1 & 2) but I'm happy for the fact you got to work on the port given your history with the game :)
You guys did an excellent job with this. Well done. 💯 Now that we have a fresh reboot of Doom 64, Quake and Quake 64, the world could really use a similar official multi-platform re-release of PS1 Doom, maybe with PS1 Final Doom as an add-on. Pretty please, and thank you.
@@originalityisdead.9513 I've enjoyed Final Doom on Switch, another title that until recently hasn't been that accessible. PS Final Doom was a short and sweet experience but it would need to be tweaked (as they would) for a release as there are frame rate problems in places.
@@Zaphod-ef9yz It's all good been able to play old games well not just old games true pioneers of the fps genre games that go underappreciated by many of the younger genration. I do however feel its time for us to get some new games that once again break boundaries as with the release of the new consoles there's never been a better time. I hope we get a new Quake or Doom game as with Microsoft money behind them as long as they're left alone to do what they do best i honestly think we could get a genre defining FPS at some point during the 9th genration of consoles. I'd be playing the game on PC though as KB&M is the best and imo the only way to play FPS.
@@Zaphod-ef9yz Yep, both PS1 Doom and Final Doom could get laggy on PS1 hardware; they could really use a refresh when it comes to resolution and frame rate. There have been some very good third-party attempts to revitalize these games using modern PC Doom source ports, but it'd be great to have a formal and standardized retail version for modern platforms.
You guys all did a fantastic job, it's so great having the original Quake -supporting wide-screen -with the original soundtrack -with like every other modern QoL improvement you can think of
This was the defining gaming experience when I was a teenager. I remember running this on an old Compaq PC back in the day. I remember how amazing it was to find that low gravity level, still one of my favorite secrets in gaming.
Yep, it was lifechanging almost. To this day Q1 is the last game that wowed me, as I went through the shareware episode with my jaw on the floor. Never felt that "HOLY SHIT!! 😮" since. Spent literal years on playing, modding, map making... It was an absolute blast, and the nostalgia is immense in this one.
Can you give us more insight about the choice of engine, especially when it comes to cross-platform compatibility and modding? I would love to see another video about this port. From what I've heard, you did a great job with this.
Absolutely fantastic release. Its love letter to 1996 and massive quake that happened then ;) Playing on XSX and its perfect, enjoying every second of gameplay! Would love to have some " collectors edition" on physical media. Also as someone mentioned.... waiting for Q2 release:D
you only mentioned it in passing but it's awesome that the team added gyro aim to the console releases. its not something most bother with for shooters, but its great for crossplay, especially in a game with such a long competitive history like quake
The only problem I see is the forcing of multiplayer onto Bethesda's servers on the PC version instead of shipping with a dedi server client. Publishers need to stop fucking doing this. If the servers go down for whatever reason, the game MP is entirely dead in the water. If someone doesn't wanna sign up for an account for whatever reason, the MP is dead in the water. Not to mention how easy it is to cheat on publisher servers, whereas with player-hosted servers, the admins can inspect and kick your cheating ass immediately. And then there's the total lack of mod support. Now, with all that said, the game still has the original versions, so that's good, but regardless, this is a disappointment in an otherwise very polished and stellar remaster.
Thank you for contribution to this work! I enjoy Quake immensely, it's my go-to game for a quick rush of gaming. I was surprised and excited about the anniversary release, and have put many hours into the game yet again. Thanks for keeping a classic relevant and up to date, I look forward to the next anniversary release!
This was my first time beating Quake (and its expansions) and I've got to say I freakin' loved it from start to finish. You and all the guys at Nightdive did an amazing job with this port. (Played it on Switch)
Over the last few years, Nightdive have really become one of my absolute favourite studios. Will be picking up the physical copy once it's released by Limited Run. Great work Dimitris and Nightdive!!
I had no idea this was coming, woke up to a Facebook post about it, jumped on the Xbox and really enjoying it! Quake 1 is one of my all time favourites! Very impressed with everything you've given to the community and continue to do :-)
It's great to seeing Bethesda pouring so much love into their old games. There's so much fan service involved, and just the fact that they have hired true fans of their games to recreate them for the modern age is just awesome! Great work MVG and everyone involved. I can tell how much attention and detail has gone into this remaster... and I for one will enjoy this release immensely for years to come. :)
@@Josh_2976 of course, but inherently it became their heritage due to the aquisition. Look at EA, they own massive amounts of great IPs which they basically keep hostage an never see the light of day again. The same can't be said about Bethesda. :)
@@PixelShade I'm not denying they own it. I just personally wouldn't think its fair to call it their game in that way. It's really cool this remaster has been done though, I loved the Doom 64 one as well. Unfortunately though I doubt Bethesda does this out of any sort of kindness though. Its really a shame how the game industry is these days.
@@Josh_2976 I have Doom 64 on Steam and Xbox One, never owned it back on the N64 though when I had one, back then I would have assumed it was just a port of the PC MS-DOS version, rather than a whole new game.
@@lmcgregoruk Yeah I'm a PC guy and never had an N64, the Gamecube was my first console actually. I'd heard of Doom 64 and was looking into emulating it just as the remaster came out. Its a fantastic game in its own right. After years of playing the original doom I actually enjoy it more as its a fresh experience.
Absolutely one of my favorite games of all time, only on par with the original two Doom games. Great job developing this, the love shines through all the way!
Played through the first episode already and hearing the 'music' and seeing the little tweaks really brought a big smile to my face :) Just being able to play Quake properly in 2021 is great! Thank you and all at Nightdive for bringing older games up to date. Looking forward to Exhumed (Powerslave for you) next :D
Really enjoyed this as someone who's played Quake many times in the last 20 years. Really enjoyed the broad-appealing graphical options like HUD style, texture filtering, crosshair... And love the built-in seamless experience of playing the mission packs + DOPA & DOMA. Really enjoying DOMA so far. Glad to know you worked on this project, been following your channel several years now!
I can't even begin to thank you and the teams involved enough. Quake is what started it all for me. My Mom and I played Quake 1 deathmatch after school together all the time. I got into mapping and still do it to this day as a creative outlet. This port is everything I've ever wanted. Thank you.
On the original PC version you could do this by simply putting the CD into the drive while playing. And vice versa, you could listen to Quake NIN soundtrack on a CD player (I still do sometimes).
@alberto balsalm I agree…for the single player campaign (heck, I bought the soundtrack when it was released on vinyl). For deathmatch, you need that blood pumping.
@@johnx7964 Perhaps because he's worked on games on the Switch he's signed some form of NDA where he can't discuss direct competition? Bit of a stretch, I know, but the Steam Deck is the first genuine opposition the Switch has faced considering that Sony and Xbox are in a completely different league to Nintendo.
Maybe he's busy with a modern enhanced port of Quake 2 for PC & consoles, with additions such as bots, all the official expansion packs and maybe even a new expansion pack?
Great work MVG and team! I did a quick test play but can't wait to dive back deep on this one. I haven't played any of the expansions yet but have previously logged over 70 hours of Quake on my steam account so obviously very excited for this!!!!! Thank you!
I really hope, that we are finally in moment in time, that more classic PC and hopefully PSX games will return in similar refreshed format. Great initiative to preserve the great classics
Congrats on your hard work and thank you for making this happen!!! Quake is one of my reasons too for becoming a developer. Love and respect from Hungary!
As someone who played Qtest1 as a university student when it released, and has written my own custom ports of both Quake and Quake II, I'm very impressed with this rerelease. I especially love the reinclusion of the original NIN soundtrack (though I still have it twice over, on both the original and 'id Anthology' box CDs). That is, very impressed... but a little disappointed as well. I started on 'Nightmare' difficulty without flinching (as a long-time player does) and was surprised when I discovered that the health cap has been gimped to 50% in what I assume to be a lame attempt to increase the difficulty further. By all means, enhance the original game with better graphics, and maybe even include some 'required' bug-fixes... but changing the original game mechanics - 'just because we can' - kind of amounts to sacrilege.
Definitely going to buy it for my daughter for her switch. I loved it as a teen and she will too as a child, thank you for helping me bring this experience to her.
@@lafindutemps7206 No, I believe they mean QuakeC, which is the language that the original Quake engine uses for gameplay logic and that was available for modders to use. It's the reason why it could get more advanced mods, beyond just map packs.
@@lafindutemps7206 Quake Champions is Sabre Engine. It was outsourced to Sabre, then they didn't want to pay Sabre anymore and kicked them out. Willits then went over to Sabre. And here we are. Quake Champions is still an amazing game and you should play it.
Old time "Quaker" here, this was unexpected but happy news. I bought Quake on Steam a while ago, as a backup from my original game disc, I was pleasantly surprised about this release! Thank you! Also, I'm curious about the KEX engine, will you guys ever release the source code?
@@chrisc448 doesnt matter. they modified the source code. if its open source license stipulates that any code changes be made available, then it needs to be made available. they may have licensed it with a commercial closed source license though.
The Switch version has a major sound issue, the music volume is extremely low , even with it turned up to 10 it’s BARELY audible. And it also has a delay in the sound effects. Hopefully it’s fixed with a patch soon because it’s unplayable currently.
i had never played Quake before. My dad played it back in college and installed the remastered version on our Xbox One. He told me to try it out and i love it! The gameplay is so smooth, and you just keep wanting to replay it even if you’re just playing the base game. Thanks for all your work on this game sir!
This game changed my gaming life forever! I remember physically melting my hp Pentium 1, 100mhz due to the addition of a voodoo 1 card. Hp actually had me sent the unit back to them for research. Well done MVG! Well done!

I might just be nostalgic for a time I was too young to experience but I can confidently say that today's generation yerns for quake and they didn't even know it.
I lost a friend two years ago and he would have loved this. Already bought and will play this weekend in his honor. Thank you for making this a reality.
sorry for your loss of a friend
F
I'm sure he's quad damaging with pentagram in heaven or hell, depending on his preference. I'm so sorry for your loss
im sorry for your loss John
Had to make it about yourself didn’t you John, everyone knows someone who is dead, who cares?!?
I remember booting up my Switch and seeing in the news section that Quake had been released on all modern systems. I bought it in a heartbeat and I am loving it a lot! Congrats on this amazing port!
I love this port so much. Thank you for all of your hard work. Means a lot to us aging sweat lords.
You're one of the few Homebrew developers who does just as much for the Homebrew scene as he does for the commercial scene and I think I speak for everyone here when I say thank you Mvg
Except for that he totally fucked up this release. It's obvious they only cared about the console side of it and left PC players longing...
@@beanwithbacon good
@@beanwithbacon how so.. what is different about it on pc? Another comment on here said his steam version was fully upgraded.. not being a duck I’m genuily curious
Whenever I hear a game having you do the porting it's like seeing that old Nintendo seal of quality sticker. You just know it's gold
Better because LJN games had the Nintendo seal of approval lol
@@JaredConnell I mean, for as bad as the LJN games are, they were at least complete and functional, which was the only thing the Seal of Approval was meant to confirm. This is leagues ahead of a lot of the schlock that came out on the pre-NES systems that caused the Crash of 1983. Nintendo themselves couldn't reasonably confirm the quality of every game, but they _could_ at least prevent another ET and Pacman situation.
I’ve been hoping for a proper remaster of this game since I played it back in 96. I love what I’ve played so far. Just as good as I remember, thanks for keeping everything intact and polishing it up even more.
"I've been following Twitter over the last 18 months...."
My condolences.
The sacrifices he makes for us.
Well, he could been shadow playing Twitter without showing the green icon on the screen...
This is twice now that I've seen a game port announcement, only to go onto UA-cam to find out you worked on it
Such an awesome job you lot did!
What's the other one?
Thanks for the great port! IMO this is the gold standard thus far as for how to do a port. I love the inclusion of local and online multiplayer and coop, I have this on switch and it has been a blast to play with friends.
I feel far to often developers feel local offline play isn't necessary, but the fact that because I can play this offline means during covid I can get some buddies together, set up the projector outside where there is no internet and frag the hell out of eachother.
The only thing I wish this port had was local wireless on the switch, but im nitpicking now, great job!
Very proud of your work man, you're a true asset to the tech world
I had an absolute blast playing this last night. Fantastic job here guys. And also thanks for making it free for owners of original steam release very much appreciated.
I admit I've never played the original, but this looks like a great place to start. This is great work and you deserve all the praise given to you man. : )
Yeah its a phenomenal game. On par with diablo and mario, as far as cult followings go.
get on it quake is one of the best things to happen to humanity.
I am so glad for you. You are one of the best gaming related youtubers out there and I hope you'll only have amazing projects going on from now on and spoil us with all those amazing videos on developing, modding, cracking, homebrew scene and everything else.
im "only" 26 years old, but quake was one of my first video games i have ever played! And Im happy i can experience this one more time in better quality!
same here
This is hands-down the best port of Quake I've yet played--looks and plays way better than a lot of the quake engines available now IMO! I did run into a pretty annoying bug on PS4 where the game crashed on quicksaving and corrupted all my data, and it seems to have a rare tendency to freeze at the beginning of multiplayer games on switch, but otherwise it's been smooth sailing. You guys did a kick ass job, and deserve all the kudos in the world. ❤️
I think your involvement with Nightdive is fascinating, and I would love to hear more about what working with them is like, how you first got involved, what sorts of challenges are faced with translating older games to modern systems, etc. Are you an official employee or is it more contract work that you do? What's a normal day like for you when you aren't making videos?
Really anything you'd be allowed to share would be incredibly interesting - I think pretty much all of us would love a video on the topic!
Yooo I'll definitely check out!
My favorite thing about this is how you can adjust the settings to have normal character frames with swirling faces looking like they are draining out the back of their skull... This in no way is a bad thing as it gives me so much laughter in the midst of slaughtering enemies. Annihilating an enemy into a bloody mess to look over & see your teammates face eating itself is awesome
This truly does look like a work of love and passion, you can truly see how much care went into it.
Very proud of you and your team, MVG. Bravo! 👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Now that was unexpected. What's next? "I was involved in the development of Half-Life 3"
"I single handedly created BOTW 2"
I remember booting up Qtest in '96 and how my mind was totally blown away! Quake is a real milestone in gaming history - so glad it's not forgotten!
You did a bloody amazing job, along with the rest of the team, man! It's incredibly well optimized and even runs on lower end computers! Cross play is an amazing feature! THANK YOU MVG!
As an idTech derivative modder (Goldsrc and Source), this is amazing and I can't wait to see the potential this port will bring, putting aside the fact that it's great as a standalone piece of work. Glad to hear you worked on it, you're a true blue bloke. Keep it up you fuckin' legend.
You guys did a fantastic job. I've been playing it since the (re)release and loving it all over again (yes I am old enough to have been there for the original release!). Even got some late night deathmatch going this past weekend with a couple of friends and it was perfect and worked like a dream. Thanks to everyone involved in this project, this is how remasters should be done!
Just had a playthrough after updating on Steam, what a fantastic time to be alive 😁
Thanks MVG and everyone at Nightdive for bringing this game to 2021! Now, where's my Nine Inch Nails CD....
I definitely like how clean and easy setting up multiplayer coop sessions is compared to a few sourceports and vanilla. Also, yay, you preserved the quake console (really the first of its kind) so I can load in mods and switch levels
I just wanted to send you the BIGGEST effing thankyou for helping to make this happen! It has been freakin' awesome to finally sit back, relax on the couch and play Quake on the big screen with a controller. The gameplay has translated to consoles so incredibly well. Fantastic work and I'm sure we're all hoping the success from this sees Quake 2 and 3 get the same treatment in the near future!
It looks and feels just as good as my nostalgia remembers it, which is an incredible achievement. It's updated, but understated. Beautiful.
Immediately downloaded it on to my Series X yesterday when I saw it pop up in gamepass. It plays awesome and the 4k 60fps is just beautiful. You guys really did a good job on this!
You guys did an amazing job! Loved the new Machine Games episode especially, and super glad all the new graphical features are subtle and don't go overboard and spoil the atmosphere.
I've been a massive fan of Quake since it came out, and was fairly active in the mapping community, so it's been such a treat to get this fantastic remaster as a free upgrade on Steam :)
I really like how the new version looks. At first glance it's the same but the atmosphere has been improved by subtle lighting. There's more depth now. Base Quake can look very flat which was one reason I preferred the Saturn version as that was very shadowy with bursts of lurid colour.
Saturn version was amazing!! Still my prefered version of Quake!
I thought after launching game yesterday... is this a port of Saturn? It looks very similar but hi-res.
Played a bit & realized nope. But I think it takes some of what made the Saturn port special & includes it in this version.
Also somewhat supporting that is the Nightdive trailer for Powerslave: Exhumed that specifically shows it combines the Saturn & Playstation versions of Powerslave!!
I can not wait for this!!
For some reason the lighting in my game doesn't look upgraded or as good as in the video. Is there a setting I'm missing?
@@gerrytheleper6604 --- There should be a setting for dynamic lighting in the options menu. Check to see that it is on.
MVG: I made this...
John Carmack: Excuse me?
Michael Abrash: Hmm that reminds me something...
Everyone I work with present their open-source based projects as their own work. It's modern programmers for you.
He made the remaster.
@@EmergencyChannel No sense of humor?
@@SerBallister Cannot make everything from scratch especially in taday's complexity.
He made the video and title card, yes. Console port, maybe. Quake, obviously not.
Been playing Quake on Playstation since the release a few days ago and I gotta say you and the other developers did an amazing job. The game looks great, even in 2021. Well done, sir.
The Quake remaster kicks ass, man! You've got one hell of a portfolio. Thank you for helping to bring one of the best games ever made forward, so that we can enjoy it in a new light on newer systems!
Just wanted to say thanks for gifting this incredible release to those of us who had already purchased Quake on Steam. This is definitely my favourite way to play Quake. :)
Thanks to you and your team and collaborations for this. Been longing for a modern console port for years. I played Q1 and Q2 so much as a teen on the N64 and Saturn. Never played the mission packs so once I am through vanilla Quake I will be straight onto those.
Thanks to all involved.
I started playing WinQuake almost a year ago and I really got interested in, however the controls were kinda weird of course and I then stopped playing it. Now that it's remastered I'll definitely try it and see if I'll get better experience
Edit: If you got Quake on Bethesda launched for free from last year's QuakeCon you'll get the remaster for free and you could also change it to original WinQuake if you want
This is why we use "source ports."
Quake Darkplaces source port is my personal favorite
@@IronThumbs yea forgot to mention that I tried sourceports
The default quake controls are garbage, but WASD was made specifically for quake, so i don't know what issues you had, when configuring the controls is an option and promoted
You could've just changed the controls tho
This is one of the few remasters that I think really outshines the original, looking much better but still very much in the style of the original game. Awesome work.
Great job! I'm normally not one for remasters but this one looks like it was definitely given love and care. Those early id masterpieces were what got me into computers, and the modding throughout the years got me into art. Thanks you and your team for not half-assing this project.
Decided to re-play through Quake on steam recently. What good timing :D Was super surprised whenever I noticed it had an update. Been enjoying the expansion packs & the Nintendo 64 mod, along with some online deathmatch. Thank you & everyone else associated for making this possible :) This has totally brought me back to my childhood....
I'm glad they didn't charge 60 for it like most remasters
I’m having such a good time with this game. Thank you! 🙏
Never really played Quake until Quake 3 in 1999 (because my PC wasn't powerful enought for the 1 & 2) but I'm happy for the fact you got to work on the port given your history with the game :)
Big huge congrats! This was such a great surprise!
You guys did an excellent job with this. Well done. 💯
Now that we have a fresh reboot of Doom 64, Quake and Quake 64, the world could really use a similar official multi-platform re-release of PS1 Doom, maybe with PS1 Final Doom as an add-on. Pretty please, and thank you.
Hmm.. PS1 total conversion add ons for the console releases would be awesome.
Final Doom is bad they should leave that in the past where it belongs.
@@originalityisdead.9513 I've enjoyed Final Doom on Switch, another title that until recently hasn't been that accessible. PS Final Doom was a short and sweet experience but it would need to be tweaked (as they would) for a release as there are frame rate problems in places.
@@Zaphod-ef9yz It's all good been able to play old games well not just old games true pioneers of the fps genre games that go underappreciated by many of the younger genration. I do however feel its time for us to get some new games that once again break boundaries as with the release of the new consoles there's never been a better time. I hope we get a new Quake or Doom game as with Microsoft money behind them as long as they're left alone to do what they do best i honestly think we could get a genre defining FPS at some point during the 9th genration of consoles. I'd be playing the game on PC though as KB&M is the best and imo the only way to play FPS.
@@Zaphod-ef9yz Yep, both PS1 Doom and Final Doom could get laggy on PS1 hardware; they could really use a refresh when it comes to resolution and frame rate. There have been some very good third-party attempts to revitalize these games using modern PC Doom source ports, but it'd be great to have a formal and standardized retail version for modern platforms.
You guys all did a fantastic job, it's so great having the original Quake
-supporting wide-screen
-with the original soundtrack
-with like every other modern QoL improvement you can think of
This was the defining gaming experience when I was a teenager. I remember running this on an old Compaq PC back in the day. I remember how amazing it was to find that low gravity level, still one of my favorite secrets in gaming.
Yep, it was lifechanging almost. To this day Q1 is the last game that wowed me, as I went through the shareware episode with my jaw on the floor. Never felt that "HOLY SHIT!! 😮" since. Spent literal years on playing, modding, map making... It was an absolute blast, and the nostalgia is immense in this one.
@@abadenoughdude300 The Dope fish lives!
Can you give us more insight about the choice of engine, especially when it comes to cross-platform compatibility and modding? I would love to see another video about this port. From what I've heard, you did a great job with this.
Absolutely fantastic release. Its love letter to 1996 and massive quake that happened then ;) Playing on XSX and its perfect, enjoying every second of gameplay! Would love to have some " collectors edition" on physical media. Also as someone mentioned.... waiting for Q2 release:D
you only mentioned it in passing but it's awesome that the team added gyro aim to the console releases. its not something most bother with for shooters, but its great for crossplay, especially in a game with such a long competitive history like quake
Hopefully the online will be popping for a while. Might finally try plugging a kb+m into the series x if it's supported.
The only problem I see is the forcing of multiplayer onto Bethesda's servers on the PC version instead of shipping with a dedi server client. Publishers need to stop fucking doing this. If the servers go down for whatever reason, the game MP is entirely dead in the water. If someone doesn't wanna sign up for an account for whatever reason, the MP is dead in the water. Not to mention how easy it is to cheat on publisher servers, whereas with player-hosted servers, the admins can inspect and kick your cheating ass immediately. And then there's the total lack of mod support.
Now, with all that said, the game still has the original versions, so that's good, but regardless, this is a disappointment in an otherwise very polished and stellar remaster.
Thank you for contribution to this work! I enjoy Quake immensely, it's my go-to game for a quick rush of gaming. I was surprised and excited about the anniversary release, and have put many hours into the game yet again. Thanks for keeping a classic relevant and up to date, I look forward to the next anniversary release!
This was my first time beating Quake (and its expansions) and I've got to say I freakin' loved it from start to finish. You and all the guys at Nightdive did an amazing job with this port. (Played it on Switch)
60 fps on switch? strange because on my switch the FPS is very bad at times. Even if I turn off everything in the options ... :(
@@per3ofsky Know I'm late but it's gotta be a bug for you cause it runs perfectly for me on switch as well
Over the last few years, Nightdive have really become one of my absolute favourite studios. Will be picking up the physical copy once it's released by Limited Run. Great work Dimitris and Nightdive!!
Well lets hope Limited Run don't release it at the same time they release "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties", or poor Quake has NO chance.
Never got a chance to play the original Quake back in the day but I'm really loving the port on my PS5.
I had no idea this was coming, woke up to a Facebook post about it, jumped on the Xbox and really enjoying it! Quake 1 is one of my all time favourites! Very impressed with everything you've given to the community and continue to do :-)
It's great to seeing Bethesda pouring so much love into their old games. There's so much fan service involved, and just the fact that they have hired true fans of their games to recreate them for the modern age is just awesome! Great work MVG and everyone involved. I can tell how much attention and detail has gone into this remaster... and I for one will enjoy this release immensely for years to come. :)
Quake isn't really one of Bethesda's old games. It's an IP their company has purchased.
@@Josh_2976 of course, but inherently it became their heritage due to the aquisition. Look at EA, they own massive amounts of great IPs which they basically keep hostage an never see the light of day again. The same can't be said about Bethesda. :)
@@PixelShade I'm not denying they own it. I just personally wouldn't think its fair to call it their game in that way. It's really cool this remaster has been done though, I loved the Doom 64 one as well. Unfortunately though I doubt Bethesda does this out of any sort of kindness though. Its really a shame how the game industry is these days.
@@Josh_2976 I have Doom 64 on Steam and Xbox One, never owned it back on the N64 though when I had one, back then I would have assumed it was just a port of the PC MS-DOS version, rather than a whole new game.
@@lmcgregoruk Yeah I'm a PC guy and never had an N64, the Gamecube was my first console actually. I'd heard of Doom 64 and was looking into emulating it just as the remaster came out. Its a fantastic game in its own right. After years of playing the original doom I actually enjoy it more as its a fresh experience.
absolutely loving it, would really love to see flickstick integrated into the game
Absolutely one of my favorite games of all time, only on par with the original two Doom games. Great job developing this, the love shines through all the way!
I have not stopped playing it and easily is my number one go to game currently. Patiently waiting for Quake 2!
Played through the first episode already and hearing the 'music' and seeing the little tweaks really brought a big smile to my face :) Just being able to play Quake properly in 2021 is great! Thank you and all at Nightdive for bringing older games up to date. Looking forward to Exhumed (Powerslave for you) next :D
This game deserves a RTX version like "Quake 2 RTX"
DLSS Quake 1 let's do it
@@megacherv 9999 fps dlss go brrr
@@light3267 I had a Radeon HD4650 laptop around 10 years that could render glQuake at about 2000fps, we need to up those numbers
Shipped😆
@@megacherv why would anyone want DLSS anything? DLSS is upsampling for hardware too weak to render at native resolution.
Really enjoyed this as someone who's played Quake many times in the last 20 years. Really enjoyed the broad-appealing graphical options like HUD style, texture filtering, crosshair...
And love the built-in seamless experience of playing the mission packs + DOPA & DOMA. Really enjoying DOMA so far. Glad to know you worked on this project, been following your channel several years now!
I can't even begin to thank you and the teams involved enough. Quake is what started it all for me. My Mom and I played Quake 1 deathmatch after school together all the time. I got into mapping and still do it to this day as a creative outlet. This port is everything I've ever wanted. Thank you.
I cannot thank you enough for helping bring this masterpiece of a game back for us to enjoy in 2021
Thank you man ! Waited for a long time to see that and remember my childhood playing this game. Congrats from Brazil.
For the full Quake experience, have "The Downward Spiral" playing in the background... ;) Incredible game, congrats to you & your team!!
On the original PC version you could do this by simply putting the CD into the drive while playing. And vice versa, you could listen to Quake NIN soundtrack on a CD player (I still do sometimes).
I always used Pretty Hate Machine
@@Niobium41 For me, it was The Prodigy - Fat of the Land...the ultimate Quakeworld soundtrack IMHO.
@alberto balsalm I agree…for the single player campaign (heck, I bought the soundtrack when it was released on vinyl). For deathmatch, you need that blood pumping.
I love watching mvg talk about how he's living his best life. I'm curious bout what he's up to atm that he can't talk about right now 😁
Maybe something steam deck related since he's not made a Lets talk about the steam deck video.
@@johnx7964 Perhaps because he's worked on games on the Switch he's signed some form of NDA where he can't discuss direct competition? Bit of a stretch, I know, but the Steam Deck is the first genuine opposition the Switch has faced considering that Sony and Xbox are in a completely different league to Nintendo.
I eagerly look forward to finding out. 👍
Maybe he's busy with a modern enhanced port of Quake 2 for PC & consoles, with additions such as bots, all the official expansion packs and maybe even a new expansion pack?
Great work MVG and team! I did a quick test play but can't wait to dive back deep on this one. I haven't played any of the expansions yet but have previously logged over 70 hours of Quake on my steam account so obviously very excited for this!!!!! Thank you!
I really hope, that we are finally in moment in time, that more classic PC and hopefully PSX games will return in similar refreshed format. Great initiative to preserve the great classics
Heretic & Hexen series need attention. Raven & Activision are likely the issue. Someone should try
You've elevated yourself from another cool UA-camr with a love of retro, to a God among men. This'll be a definitive purchase for me now.
Congrats on your hard work and thank you for making this happen!!! Quake is one of my reasons too for becoming a developer. Love and respect from Hungary!
As someone who played Qtest1 as a university student when it released, and has written my own custom ports of both Quake and Quake II, I'm very impressed with this rerelease. I especially love the reinclusion of the original NIN soundtrack (though I still have it twice over, on both the original and 'id Anthology' box CDs).
That is, very impressed... but a little disappointed as well.
I started on 'Nightmare' difficulty without flinching (as a long-time player does) and was surprised when I discovered that the health cap has been gimped to 50% in what I assume to be a lame attempt to increase the difficulty further. By all means, enhance the original game with better graphics, and maybe even include some 'required' bug-fixes... but changing the original game mechanics - 'just because we can' - kind of amounts to sacrilege.
Agreed. Please bring back Nightmare as it was played out of the box.
Definitely going to buy it for my daughter for her switch. I loved it as a teen and she will too as a child, thank you for helping me bring this experience to her.
Great job with the port and congrats to you and Nightdive Studios!
Is the qc source going to be released for community's mods?
Speriamo: almeno la community produrrà qualcosa di buono
@@AntonioSpaziano Umm... What?
if you talk about quake champions, it's id tech 5, so no.
@@lafindutemps7206 No, I believe they mean QuakeC, which is the language that the original Quake engine uses for gameplay logic and that was available for modders to use. It's the reason why it could get more advanced mods, beyond just map packs.
@@lafindutemps7206 Quake Champions is Sabre Engine. It was outsourced to Sabre, then they didn't want to pay Sabre anymore and kicked them out. Willits then went over to Sabre. And here we are. Quake Champions is still an amazing game and you should play it.
Having a blast on the switch version just love having a pocket version of Quake
Fantastic!
One of my most played games since 1996.
I get to show it off to my kids on the Switch!
Love you guys for this!
Looks nice MVG! I'll check out soon, Quake is a timeless classic and like Doom is nice to always play!
Old time "Quaker" here, this was unexpected but happy news. I bought Quake on Steam a while ago, as a backup from my original game disc, I was pleasantly surprised about this release! Thank you! Also, I'm curious about the KEX engine, will you guys ever release the source code?
Oh come on you are asking a bit much!
@@fr33kSh0w2012 why is that? Old id released the source code for all their old engines.
@@luckygreentiger Money. The market is orders is magnitude bigger now than back in the day.
@@chrisc448 doesnt matter. they modified the source code. if its open source license stipulates that any code changes be made available, then it needs to be made available. they may have licensed it with a commercial closed source license though.
@@chrisc448 Carmack understands money. They released it on principle not because of money.
I've been seriously enjoying this, having just beaten the main game and now going through the expansion missions.
Absolutely excellent work!
The Switch version has a major sound issue, the music volume is extremely low , even with it turned up to 10 it’s BARELY audible. And it also has a delay in the sound effects. Hopefully it’s fixed with a patch soon because it’s unplayable currently.
ps4 has a similar problem, you have to turn effects to 2 or 3 and crank the tv volume way up to hear the music
It isn't the music volume, it is the music itself. It just doesn't sound like much. If you play Scourge of Armagon, you can hear it quite clearly.
thats not "unplayable" its just really annoying
I've played through it and it's wonderful and basically it makes me want a port of quake 2 as well 😅
There is the 1080/60 fps port on the 360. Came on its own disc w the Quake 4 release. Great port.
i had never played Quake before. My dad played it back in college and installed the remastered version on our Xbox One. He told me to try it out and i love it! The gameplay is so smooth, and you just keep wanting to replay it even if you’re just playing the base game. Thanks for all your work on this game sir!
Thank you! I was begining to feel guilty buying quake again. Now I know I made the best impulse buy of the year!
This game changed my gaming life forever! I remember physically melting my hp Pentium 1, 100mhz due to the addition of a voodoo 1 card. Hp actually had me sent the unit back to them for research. Well done MVG! Well done!
