The rolling animations of the flyers were used in the Ground Zero expansion pack during the Carrier bossfight. It sometimes summons "kamikaze flyers" that use that exact animation when they charge at you
I modded the jump slam into something I was working on (unreleased) ua-cam.com/video/yqVeIKY6-2w/v-deo.html needs a bit more forward momentum in the jump though and some more polish to really look right.
There was an unused Power Screen inventory pick-up in 3.05, also the were screenshots of unused items in the descrption html directory - like Goggles (later appeared in Ground Zero) and Invis.
daaaaamn some of the cut things are such great ;s like berserker attacks or floaters' "activating" animation or flyers' rolls and banks, or parasite "stuck leech" -_-
A lot of stuff is nowhere near the intended vision IMO - many of the enemy ended up with generic blaster attacks for instance that were originally animated for and partially programmed for a much bigger range of types of weapons such as the floater which was originally intended to have a range of electric attacks - not exactly like but along the lines of this: ua-cam.com/video/ZjpGSbVAJEo/v-deo.html There is extensive extra programming for most of the monsters that is sitting there unused due to being only 40-60% completed - the parasite animation for trying to break free for instance is partially implemented in code but unused.
According to the id Vault in the re-release, the nuke was going to be an usable item in earlier iterations of Quake 2. It would go off in a timer before it explodes in a large radius, killing everyone nearby.
Most of those cut animations would have made awesome attacks and the monsters themselves would have been even harsher than what they ended up becoming.
@@NeonKnightOA Maybe we should. With the new 8-bit colored lighting software renderer available, and a kickass sound mod i am testing for Quake-2 - such addition of improved enemy behavior - could double the perfection that this game already is.
The "Flipper" one is named Barracuda Shark The "Floater" one is named Technician The "Hover" is named Icarus The "Infantry" one is named Enforcer The "Soldier" one is named Light Guard The "Super Tank" one is named Tank Boss
@@avtomatkalashnikova1947 Ok, maybe I don't have any link or indication that there is manual, but when looking into installation directory there indeed is some ;) Thanks.
I think the nuke was used as a weapon in the quake 2 ground zero multyplayer.One can get the nuke and place it in the level and has 30 sec to run to the other side of the map,preferebly sitting in top of a health box as he looses health.
According to the id Vault in the re-release, the nuke had a similar function as the anti-matter bomb in Ground Zero, and was present in earlier versions of Quake 2 when it was still running under the Quake 1 engine.
Great video man. It was super interesting seeing this cut content. But I don't agree with 6:38 I think it's not defending itself, it seems like a melee attack.
I'd love to have someone help me do this for an upcoming Quake 2-singleplayer unit I am doing for the 20th anniversary of Quake 2. You can see photoes of it here: colonthreeenterprises.tumblr.com/post/160617855016/wip-screenshots-from-three-maps-in-my-upcoming Please send me a DM or something if anyone is interested in helping out. :3

Zaero implemented the flare gun as the gun it was supposed to be. I really haven't looked at the code, but I guess kmquake2 reimplemented some of this stuff?
It's a real shame they didn't use these animations, the game would be much better if enemies like the Berserker or Brain had these extra attacks and didn't appear virtually harmless to a skilled player. I also love the physics-simulating animations of the flying enemies, they would feel a lot more lively if they were implemented! Not to mention the tank being able to defend itself when the player is circles strafing him.
@@avtomatkalashnikova1947 aye, I really like all the animations they brought back. The proper way to make remasters. But then again, I wish there was an option to turn off the new AI because it breaks some encounters in the original game.
The flare gun's actually been re-added into the game through the Quake 2 RTX port. Because of how lighting works with ray tracing some areas have become nearly pitch black in the RTX version, so they put the flare gun in to act as a light source.
Just an update. They return a lot of cutted animations in the remaster. Berserker now rocks.
It rocked too much, lol! Gotta try the update whenever I can. Haven't played Q2 because Real Life kept me quite busy.
Great to see most of these added back in for the Remaster

The berserker would some much more threatening if it had a running club and a slam stack.
I mean attack not stack stupid auto-correct
I agree.
so basically the berserker from quake 4?

Berserker is scary enough
These models are pretty metal I couldn't really tell when I was gibbing them
Great vid, very interesting.
Still playing quake to this day.
Just finished the q2 for the first time a few days ago! And I must admit I absolutely love this game!
Thank you for the well put-together video!
Imagine what will had came out if Quake2 had Full another Year to Develop....
nice video ... and also cool addition with the BH background music - huge fan as well :D
Thanks mate, good taste! ;-)
what is BH?
elgordopatati BH is Buckethead. A musician.
Also, great video!

9:52 Super tank vibing with the music
Year 2023, many of those have been implemented in the Q2 remaster

This video should be revisited after the new remaster, would be cool
fantastic video. made with attention to detail :)))! sooo much cool stuff going on!
Seeing this, Quake II feels unfinished. At least rushed. Add to that the final briefing video that unfinished slipped through to release.

Because Quake 2 was Very Rushed title 😁
The mutant still reminds me of the fiends from Quake 1.
Would have loved to see barrel rolling flyers in the final game!
According to the id Vault in the re-release, the nuke was going to be an usable item in earlier iterations of Quake 2. It would go off in a timer before it explodes in a large radius, killing everyone nearby.
So basically it got reused with that same functionality in Ground Zero's multiplayer mode.
Most of those cut animations would have made awesome attacks and the monsters themselves would have been even harsher than what they ended up becoming.
Oh yes! And i would love them to have such upgrades...
@@HexenStar Time to bug Yamagi out to implement that in yquake2, lol!

@@avtomatkalashnikova1947 Indeed. I was looking for this video, thank you for the notification. 🍻
Wish the tripping light guards would be added in some mod, that shit is hillarious!
Seeing the Winnie’s up close now
I always thought most of them weren’t made of human
But seeing the flying ones close
I’m scared
I also didn't saw it till now. Even the wings are connected to the rest with some bits of arms O_o

@@yevhenmartyniuk8309 Yes, thanks
Probably haven't read the manual yet. They're called like that in the game files.
Very interesting. Great vid. :)
Thanks!
I thought the Hover enemy was actually called Icarus...
They're called Hover in the game files. I guess he hasn't read the manual yet
@@avtomatkalashnikova1947 Shame digitally distributed quake does not come with a manual :(
@@jarlfenrir There's a digital manual you can check out if you go to the Quake 2 directory on the Start Menu when you installed the game.

Honestly, it's a shame that none of these things were implemented into the final game, but still, Q2 is a great game as it is.

You are correct, they do that in the Remaster and it is an attack
I thought the flyers already did the roll when taking damage...?
did someone implemented this content in a mod? there is a lot of stuff...

Q2 giex has some running gunners and berserkers
The Bony Gib is probably leftovers from Quake 1... the zombie throws it at you.
Someone make a Brutal Quake 2 Mod, and start using all of these assets from this video!
I'd love a Brutal Quake 2. The closest we'll ever get is is probably Ground Zero on Hard+.
Play the Remaster
@@normanred9212 Already did, enjoying it so much.
The flare gun got implemented in Zaero IICR.
the flare gun is actually also used in quake II RTX and in RTX mode it's slightly textured
Would love to see a mod team implement this stuff back into the game.
Nightdive added most of them back in the re-release now.
@panzermann1181 Been playing it since it came out! 😄
this 2d sprite of explosion was used in beta version, late was replace to full 3D animation.......good video dude (Y)
holy s**t the berserker looks menacing. theres something uncanny about how it moves.
6:13 Do a barrel roll!
What do you use to view the models?
Quake 2 doesn't get enough love
Three months later, Q2 got a lot of love, lol!
FLARE GUN IS BACK 0_0
That's a loot of stuff. thanks for the video
Thanks S2
+100000mm for Buckethead.
the quake 1 and quake 2 model texture layout is extremely bad, apparently uv mapping was in its infancy at the time
11:10 it's the quake 1 explosion

good
