I love how the game is balanced to encourage using all your guns by interesting enemy behaviors.

Most of the weapons in todays fps are Hitscans, you just pick the one that have a decent spray pattern. On Quake you swap guns all the time plus the damage is always consistent, if you hit you know how much you dealt.
Apart from the fact that enemies don’t get pushed back like in Doom or recoil in response to the impact (actually Bethesda Doom games don’t have that either). The double barrel shotgun’s model is too small and the sound effect is not bassy enough. But stupidest is the super nail gun. It’s just a more powerful and ammo hungry nail gun.

Little known fact: The scream Ranger makes while in acid/lava was recorded from an Id employee seconds before John Carmack banished him from the mortal plane.
It's worth pointing out that the Nine Inch Nails guys did a lot of the sound effects as well as the music. I'm pretty sure the jumping grunt is Trent's voice pitch-shifted, for example.
@@ChaseMC215 more (and less) than that, I think. Every member of NIN at the time contributed sound (including Chris Vrenna who later came in to work on Doom 3's sound after the deal with Trent fell though), as well as American McGee, John Romero and some pre-existing sound libraries. I think the NIN team is responsible for much of the synth-y stuff, McGee's stated they had access to audio equipment that the Id guys didn't. *Hopefully* that includes the Quad Damage firing noise, which has remained a series staple, but I can't say for sure. Many of the vocals don't seem to be Trent's, but I'd bet anything on the player jump noise being his at the very least.
@@nickporter4279 The Quad Damage powerup in Doom 2016 (haven’t checked yet for Eternal’s Onslaught though) also uses the same sound, so it’s cool knowing one of Trent Reznor’s work of art still lives on.
As much as I love Caleb, only chumps reload with their shooting hand. Reloading with the support hand is the preferred technique. Ranger's double-barrel might be a semi-auto "tandem" gun with all of its significant parts duplicated. They could have expounded upon that by having it feed from dual box mags (clamped together) and having the casings eject in both directs at the same time.
Its gotta be a kick in the teeth that only a month after your return review to quake a 25th official anniversary is released.....i look forward to an updated review lol
First Quake by far still has the best vibe and direction. The series slowly turned into just another space marine shooter with each subsequent game. Quake 1 was awesome though.
Quake 2 still had a very distinct 90s industrial vibe to it. Quake 4 was and is fun for the most part, but it feels very mid 2000s in the least distinct way possible. It did have some fairly memorable set pieces though.
@@bigdaddychemster1201 Actually Quake 2 was supposed to be an original IP but id was very unsecure on whether it would flop or not, so they just slapped the quake branding to have something players would buy
Yeah Quake and Quake III are the only ones who still have this gothic lovecraftian vibe and that's where the games are the best at. The Sci-fi setting with the strogg is just sooo weak >_>
@@toastsawdust9814 This! As a matter of fact, the name they came up for this "new IP" was already in use so they decided to go with "Quake II" anyway since it would sell more and John Romero wouldn't oppose them anymore. And yeah, Quake III Arena blended both previous Quake styles.
Even if it's a game that's been covered by a million other people I'd still rather check your vids out anyday of the week. The humor, actually knowing what your talking about and having a nice personality. Dont stop making vids mate yout the one keeping this shit alive. Cheers bud
The other thing is that the mapping/modding community is still alive and kicking. We had two major Q25 map jams for the anniversary and even some indie projects. We also have things like Copper from 2019 which upgrades the original Quake gameplay with fixes and concepts that amp up engagement in a good way.
My favorite id game. Unlike shotguns being a main workforce in doom, you use mostly projectile weapons like granades and rocket launcher, since they give you alot of ammo for them. They make the game way more fun and satisfying.
I mean, shotguns are more buffed in Quake. It just became a doom staple because of two reasons combined: it could one-shot a lot of enemies at meelee range, and doomguy was so fast that you could run up to an enemy, shoot, and retreat to safety. But in the old Doom it shoots so slow that you could be easily overrun, it was mainly for picking an enemy at a time. Shotgun in Quake is a little weaker, but it shoots 3-4 times as fast...
@@cybergun01 Good, someone said it. If they make QUAKE reboot ANYTHING like Eternal I will cry, that is the absolute LAST thing they should do. I really don’t like Eternal but I appreciate why other people do however I even like DOOM 3 more despite me having beat all these games on ultra violence equivalent and loving a challenge. I just CANNOT stand the art style and weird sort of half serious theme of DOOM Eternal where canonically you are just insanely powerful regardless whereas in older games it was you the player alone prevented such a fate and the atmosphere even reflected that sometimes, particularly in QUAKE and i don’t care what anyone says i think the story was just far too overbearing and took away from the ‘DOOM experience’ where really what makes these old school games special is the connection between main character and the player and that kind of dynamic influence you have on character and in Eternal that essence was absolutely pulverised. I was so disappointed when Eternal came out as I was expecting a little funkier DOOM 2016, not a complete 180 in almost every aspect of that game; I thought DOOM 2016 was near perfect… That’s just me though.
I feel they already kinda did, because Doom Eternal feels like a mix of both Doom & Quake gameplay. Maybe even more like Quake because of the verticality
I don't enjoy Quake 2, like I get pretty bored a third of the way in, the levels were dull then, and time has not been kind. The general theme of Q2 also felt lacking. The engine is fantastic, but the guns, enemies and maps are weaker than Quake's episodes. Not the Quake expansions, those are trashy.
Idk if this floats your boat but if your looking for ABSTRACT fps check out a game called “cruelty squad”, you might very well hate it but it’s definitely what id describe as abstract fps
I’ll second the Amid Evil recommendation, it’s more abstract than a fever dream after binging The Lord of the Rings and Stargate SG-1 back to back while huffing paint.
@@cliftongardner4367 I just finished Amid Evil a few days ago and I literally could not find the words to adequately describe the final level to my fiancée. I ended up just being like, "I don't know, there were shapes and everything was all the colors."
I remember being a kid and reading the manual for quake, and it hyped up the Shambler as such a monster and terrifying advisory that they terrified me when I first came across one while playing it. They still give me a bit of a residual spook now as an adult.
Back in the day, Real Mens' bodies were made ready for mouselook in Quake on day one, due to rigorous training in Terminator: Future Shock, an FPS that was stupidly ahead of its time.
When I was in Highschool, my English teacher used to host LANs of this AT the school on Saturdays. There were so many iterations and evolutions of control schemes too.
Funny enough the soundtrack of Quake on the N64 had some tracks with a hip-hop esque rythm, and they were composed using the game sound effects. Don't think any of these tracks use the bouncing grenade sound, but still close.
At the launch of the 2021 QuakeCon@Home on August 19, 2021, Bethesda released a remastered version of Quake for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles, developed by Night Dive Studios.[122] In addition to support for modern systems and improved rendering techniques, the remastered version includes both mission packs, Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity. It also includes two episodes created by MachineGames: the previously-released Dimension of the Past and a new one called Dimension of the Machine. A port of Quake 64 was also included in its entirety via the newly-implemented "Add-On" menu.
I'd like to mention that watching Gman's videos has made me play many old school shooters. In the past couple of months I've finished Doom 1, Doom 2, Doom 64, Duke Nukem 3D, and recently Shadow Warrior classic. I just bought Quake and so far I'd say its my second favorite after Duke Nukem. My question is, whenever you play these old school shooters, are you not supposed to save at all, save every level, or save anytime? I'd like to experience the "original difficulty" of them so I usually save right after each level but not mid through a level. What does everyone else do?
That would be great if it happened. I think the last time we saw a classic Quake game on consoles was Quake 2 releasing on a bonus disc alongside Quake 4 in 2005 for the 360. When Zenimax re-released Quake 4 in 2011, Quake 2 was absent.
@@kaijucapuchin734 yes I had that copy of quake 4 on 360 however sadly I think I traded it in :( lol. Quake Quadrilogy HD would be nice, fingers crossed 😀👍🏻
Nintendo 64 had quake and quake 2, that console was really the beast doom clone console of the time, kiddy console that my 16 year old self loved for its shooters.
The first Quake has such unique techno-fantasy art-style, as well as sound design. By far my favorite in the series. Not to mention that it still plays great, even today. Damn masterpiece!
Quake, Quake 2, Doom 64, Hexen, Duke Nukem 3D, Turok and it's sequels, Perfect Dark, Goldeneye. N64 in the 90s was awesome with or without any Mario games.
I'd be fine with a female protagonist. Hmmm, if this is true, then I have my answer as to what id is working on, now that Doom Eternal is done. I was kinda disappointed that neither id nor MG were featured at E3. Although I'd think that MG have their hands full with Indiana Jones and Wolfenstein 3. >_>
For 23 years now i think this is one of the best goddamn 3D shooters with an absolute perfect dense and eerie Lovecraftian atmosphere. The first time i played it was on the Nintendo 64, when my dad rented the game from a video rental store (back when you could still rent games too) and the Soundtrack was terrifying and really enhanced the offworldly vibes. When i got myself a copy of the Saturn in 2000, it introduced me to Nine Inch Nails in the best form possible. I even played a homebrew version of the PC version on my Dreamcast in 2005 and PSP back in 2007. The game has since been always part of ANY PC operating system install. No matter if Desktop or Laptop. It just has to be there. Of course nowdays with source ports. And till this day Quake and Quake III Arena are the best of the series. The Sci-Fi setting of Quake II and Quake IV just doesn't work… That's not Quake to me.
Awesome retrospective. I kind of missed out on Quake when I was younger, too young when it came out (6 or something), and when I got my first PC when I was 12, I was all about Half-Life, Max Payne, Aliens versus Predator 1 & 2, and then later when I upgraded for HL2 and Max Payne 2 I discovered Doom 3, Quake 4, Prey, Halo and then FEAR, and those became my favourites (I had other non FPS one, C&C Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 I remember being really big for me, and later SW Jedi Outcast & Academy, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and Dawn of War) So the OG Doom & Quake kind of went past me, I was happy with the sequels and saw little reason to go back being a kid. But now, with retro FPS games coming out in the last 3 years, I think the biggest thing that stands out about them for me over the flashier sequels is just the level design and architecture which were integral in creating an atmosphere, this subconscious sensation of running inside an infernal machine, being a rat inside a massive vertical maze. Stuff like regenerating health, reloading, cover, run speed, those are things that work in their own gameplay balances, and it's a shame that they've influenced game direction after 2002-> in an unbalanced way, but in my mind the loss that was the biggest was a sacrifice in level design, until the indies and modders now. So yeah, Quake has gone up there for me, as a newcomer. And Slayer's Testaments, man, that "mod" is more of a game now, tons of cool maps, a lot more systems, it's just so ambitious and works together better than most of those Doom 2016/Eternal mods which lack the whole package that ties it all together, they often lack the maps that utilize the gameplay and enemies. And Slayer's Testaments feels fresh because it isn't just a copy-paste of 2016/Eternal, but has it's own maps in the theme of that universe, within that old school level design philosophy. I almost wish it were a paid game at this point, put it on steam -- If nothing else, put it on steam as a free mod that requires players to own Quake & 2016 & Eternal to be able to play (like Enderal for Skyrim or RealRTCW needing you to own the games - requiring them to hopefully appease the publishers about it not feeling like it's money out from their pockets), and then whenever the modders/devs do make their own game, people can see that they already have right there on their developer page one of the guaranteed highest rated mods on steam. Hopefully Wrath: Aeon of Ruin turns out great despite the rocky development. Doesn't Doombringer also use Quake 1/Darkplaces engine?
The fact that it got an official remaster makes me happy to finally try Quake properly, since somehow all my ports on PC were... Lets just say "not functional"
You’re right about Trent Reznor’s soundtrack being key to its success. Quake 2 is really just a game made in auto- pilot. No Romero meant Carmack took creative control and he made Quake 2 out of cardboard and Rivita’s to match his personality. The reason Quake is such a masterpiece is because of the cohesion of all its elements and it’s restraint, Romero drops mushrooms and creates a vivid and unique universe then Carmack crafts it into something practical. Quake 2 is just practice. Quake 3 Carmack admitting he has no ideas at all and just makes a death match game. Quake won’t be repeated any time soon. There is too much anxiety in game development. Everything has to be bigger, bolder and brighter (or muddier and gloomier this past generation). But art isn’t about adding things, it’s about leaving things out. Ok baroque art is about finding the most ostentatious and be bombastic end product but if it’s going to be art there has to be a strong and clear vision and meaning. Half Life 2 achieves this with the environmental design being so bleak and deserted, almost haunted, using muted tones and utilitarian urban design. The meaning is that society has completely devolved in tyranny and mankind is in a state of near collapse. So the elements all combine (no pun intended) to amplify the other. This is what is meant by “greater than the sum of its parts”. Quake achieves this with it’s tightly controlled blue-grey and brown natural textures of wood and stone. Everything is wood, stone, iron or water. The levels are all castles which are claustrophobic and damp and mossy. The sound design is echoing and clangy and scrapy. So the elements all cohere to one another. But above all, the ambient/industrial soundtrack ties it all together and draws you in, in stark contrast to the “wake up” power chords and riffs from all subsequent Quakes that simply follow and don’t add anything to the narrative. So the concept of a cohesive and holistic approach to narrative is what’s missing from modern game design. Everything has to be multiplayer which harms the ability to craft a narrative and personal journey. Nowadays you have to have the latest effects and devs can get carried away. I would like to see a considered and well realised world in a modern game but there are too many pressures to comply with such a game not being difficult, having online be the focus and an aversion to any theme which takes a unique and original direction.
I would add that the community around Quake 1 is still very active: only at the 25 birthday 2 map sets were released with the total of about 20 maps, and to forget some more map sets released this month only.
Did you know that Trent Reznor actually did the voice work for Ranger in this game? That's right, he didn't just do the soundtrack! I only found out recently and love the game even more for it.
Everyone always talks about Quake, they talk about the single player experience. There's practically NO ONE that talks about how big multiplayer was and how it spawned a yearly competitive event in QuakeCon.
Ah, Quake... my first ever FPS. This was the game that got me into the genre and I'll always have a soft spot for it. Its default control setup also stuck with me for so long: forward was the right mouse button, with sidesteps being period & comma. I never bothered to rebind anything so I just played it like that, and then used to also change the controls to that for every other FPS I played because that's what I was used to - it was YEARS before I finally switched to the WASD scheme. Oh and also, if a Jeremy Clarkson voice pack isn't already an actual mod, it really needs to be!
Quake 2 was the first videogame I was ever introduced to. I have so many fond memories of that game, playing it with my dad and my brothers, getting the Chaos mod and grapple-hooking everywhere with my spider skin on pissing off people on the "moo clan" servers. It probably made me the man I am today. Happy Birthday Quake.
The Quake 1 soundtrack is only really outdone in terms of atmospheric creep at the time by Doom Playstation and 64. Aubrey Hodges, what a genius in creepy atmosphere.
It didn't require a graphics card. Most gamers didn't play it with a voodoo card. That was a small minority. TBH most of PC gamers didn't get specific GPUs until Quake 3, which indeed REQUIRED a graphics card. That was a huge turning point for PC gaming. Luckily it happened at the same time as the arrival of Riva Vanta, which the first trully affordable fast GPU, and Voodoo's Glide was on it's death bed. I think you can pin point that as the very moment nVidia was set to become an empire from the underdog it was.
Qzone wasn't mentioned here smh! lol jk! Good video, hapi burfdai Quake, and the news of ID creating a Quake singleplayer reboot is lit. Quake 1's story lends itself to exploring varied environments and dimensions - visiting a Q2-like realm but not limiting themselves to just that is possible. Indeed, 'alien humans' appear as Sentinels in nuDoom and could explain knights and death knight as well (if not an evil offshoot from that society). Even Champions I've noticed was wise in incorporating more lovecraftian elements, and promoting Ranger - all BEFORE retro ranger and retro dm6 reared their awesomely polygonal heads. All in all, I hope this new reboot looks to Quake 1 and it's mission packs the most.
I was 9 years old when Quake came out but haven't played it until I was like 12 due to our family not having a PC. Even though 3 years was an eternity in world of FPS games back then and I've played many games that came after and prior to Quake, none of them mesmerized me to the same level. I fell even more in love after I've learned what Quakeworld is - to this day this is my benchmark of what online shooters should be about, even though I do not play anymore. When I've first got to play it with that amazing soundtrack (played pirated version without music first), it felt like being transferred to another dimension. Few games, or in broader sense, products of culture have made me falling in unconditional love for them. Quake, Fallout 2, Wipeout series (from third one up to Omega Collection titles), Doom Eternal are the games I could bring to desert island and never get bored by them. In movie space, I feel the same about Alien, which I have watched more than 20 times through my life now and each time I loved every minute of it. Yeah, Doom came first, DN3D set new benchmarks when it comes to interactivity, Unreal had huge levels with outdoor areas and good enemy AI, Half-Life turned the genre upside down, Soldier of Fortune excelled in gore and the list goes on and on. Thing is, all these games have not captured the same thing that Quake did - a feeling of being transported to a twisted, broken, corrupted and rotten world full of dread.
I have been playing the remastered version, it's a lot of fun , I am glad they kept Trent Reznors sound track. The remastered version even has the Nintendo 64 port
This was the first game I ever played growing up, and used to play it with my Dad in co-op. It's no small statement to say it's been a major factor in who I've become.

If you look at the quake champions double barrel it seems to reloads really fast due to advanced feeding mechanism looks cool
As much as I love Caleb, only chumps reload with their shooting hand. Reloading with the support hand is the preferred technique. Ranger's double-barrel might be a semi-auto "tandem" gun with all of its significant parts duplicated. They could have expounded upon that by having it feed from dual box mags (clamped together) and having the casings eject in both directs at the same time.

another interesting easter egg about Trent's work with the soundtrack; the nailgun ammo boxes resemble the NIN logo along the sides of it in Quake 1.
First Quake by far still has the best vibe and direction. The series slowly turned into just another space marine shooter with each subsequent game. Quake 1 was awesome though.
Quake 2 still had a very distinct 90s industrial vibe to it. Quake 4 was and is fun for the most part, but it feels very mid 2000s in the least distinct way possible. It did have some fairly memorable set pieces though.
Slowly? That change happened IMMEDIATELY in Quake 2.
@@bigdaddychemster1201 Actually Quake 2 was supposed to be an original IP but id was very unsecure on whether it would flop or not, so they just slapped the quake branding to have something players would buy
Yeah Quake and Quake III are the only ones who still have this gothic lovecraftian vibe and that's where the games are the best at. The Sci-fi setting with the strogg is just sooo weak >_>
@@toastsawdust9814 This! As a matter of fact, the name they came up for this "new IP" was already in use so they decided to go with "Quake II" anyway since it would sell more and John Romero wouldn't oppose them anymore. And yeah, Quake III Arena blended both previous Quake styles.
Thank you for acknowledging Malice, it's criminally underrated. I think it would be great if you decided to review it someday!

The other thing is that the mapping/modding community is still alive and kicking. We had two major Q25 map jams for the anniversary and even some indie projects. We also have things like Copper from 2019 which upgrades the original Quake gameplay with fixes and concepts that amp up engagement in a good way.
My favorite id game. Unlike shotguns being a main workforce in doom, you use mostly projectile weapons like granades and rocket launcher, since they give you alot of ammo for them. They make the game way more fun and satisfying.
I mean, shotguns are more buffed in Quake. It just became a doom staple because of two reasons combined: it could one-shot a lot of enemies at meelee range, and doomguy was so fast that you could run up to an enemy, shoot, and retreat to safety. But in the old Doom it shoots so slow that you could be easily overrun, it was mainly for picking an enemy at a time. Shotgun in Quake is a little weaker, but it shoots 3-4 times as fast...
Here’s hoping ID software gives quake the doom eternal reboot treatment
But darker and without all the colorful ammo explosions, etc
@@cybergun01 Good, someone said it. If they make QUAKE reboot ANYTHING like Eternal I will cry, that is the absolute LAST thing they should do. I really don’t like Eternal but I appreciate why other people do however I even like DOOM 3 more despite me having beat all these games on ultra violence equivalent and loving a challenge. I just CANNOT stand the art style and weird sort of half serious theme of DOOM Eternal where canonically you are just insanely powerful regardless whereas in older games it was you the player alone prevented such a fate and the atmosphere even reflected that sometimes, particularly in QUAKE and i don’t care what anyone says i think the story was just far too overbearing and took away from the ‘DOOM experience’ where really what makes these old school games special is the connection between main character and the player and that kind of dynamic influence you have on character and in Eternal that essence was absolutely pulverised. I was so disappointed when Eternal came out as I was expecting a little funkier DOOM 2016, not a complete 180 in almost every aspect of that game; I thought DOOM 2016 was near perfect… That’s just me though.
I feel they already kinda did, because Doom Eternal feels like a mix of both Doom & Quake gameplay. Maybe even more like Quake because of the verticality

I don't enjoy Quake 2, like I get pretty bored a third of the way in, the levels were dull then, and time has not been kind. The general theme of Q2 also felt lacking. The engine is fantastic, but the guns, enemies and maps are weaker than Quake's episodes. Not the Quake expansions, those are trashy.
Quake was one of the last abstract fps of that era. Miss the abstraction these days..
Idk if this floats your boat but if your looking for ABSTRACT fps check out a game called “cruelty squad”, you might very well hate it but it’s definitely what id describe as abstract fps
Check out DUSK my man

I’ll second the Amid Evil recommendation, it’s more abstract than a fever dream after binging The Lord of the Rings and Stargate SG-1 back to back while huffing paint.

Back in the day, Real Mens' bodies were made ready for mouselook in Quake on day one, due to rigorous training in Terminator: Future Shock, an FPS that was stupidly ahead of its time.
Open world, grenades, fully 3d enemies, buildings to enter, driving areas. Midi music to top it all off!
I was but a wee lad until Quake 2 molded me into a terminator I am today. Yeah I refused to learn mouse aim until Quake 2... XD

This video had me smiling the entire time. Wonderfully crafted.
The sounds of the grenades bouncing of the walls is so pleasing to the ear
I’m surprised no one has created a dance track with em
Funny enough the soundtrack of Quake on the N64 had some tracks with a hip-hop esque rythm, and they were composed using the game sound effects.
Don't think any of these tracks use the bouncing grenade sound, but still close.
It's funny how quad damage is only quad in the first game, everywhere else it's only triple (even in Doom 2016 iirc)
quake 2 has quad damage

At the launch of the 2021 QuakeCon@Home on August 19, 2021, Bethesda released a remastered version of Quake for Microsoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S consoles, developed by Night Dive Studios.[122] In addition to support for modern systems and improved rendering techniques, the remastered version includes both mission packs, Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity. It also includes two episodes created by MachineGames: the previously-released Dimension of the Past and a new one called Dimension of the Machine. A port of Quake 64 was also included in its entirety via the newly-implemented "Add-On" menu.
Quake, it's for everyone. Happy Birthday, you son of a game.
Enjoying the remaster right now and it holds up shooting is just solid
"And it makes wanna cry, I draw my hands up to the sky!" Perfect lirics to describe my condition.
Up the irons!
This game terrified me as a kid. I still remember the NIN sound track
It still does, to me at least. The atmosphere is absolutely incredible.
"This is the greatest 3D shooter... In the world." - Ranger Clarkson

And on that bombshell
I'd like to mention that watching Gman's videos has made me play many old school shooters. In the past couple of months I've finished Doom 1, Doom 2, Doom 64, Duke Nukem 3D, and recently Shadow Warrior classic. I just bought Quake and so far I'd say its my second favorite after Duke Nukem. My question is, whenever you play these old school shooters, are you not supposed to save at all, save every level, or save anytime? I'd like to experience the "original difficulty" of them so I usually save right after each level but not mid through a level. What does everyone else do?
Mate you can save whenever you want. I usually save after I beat a couple rooms.
Why the hell isn’t there a quake collection available for consoles!?
I’m writing while watching so I accept this might be addressed later on lol
That would be great if it happened. I think the last time we saw a classic Quake game on consoles was Quake 2 releasing on a bonus disc alongside Quake 4 in 2005 for the 360. When Zenimax re-released Quake 4 in 2011, Quake 2 was absent.
Would be sweet if they did a PS3 Unreal 3, and even had mouse support.

@@Largentina. A new Quake game is being worked on, by id and Machine Games, the protagonist is a female.
I'd be fine with a female protagonist. Hmmm, if this is true, then I have my answer as to what id is working on, now that Doom Eternal is done. I was kinda disappointed that neither id nor MG were featured at E3. Although I'd think that MG have their hands full with Indiana Jones and Wolfenstein 3. >_>
Love to see reviews of Dimension of the Past and Dimension of the Machine campaigns
For 23 years now i think this is one of the best goddamn 3D shooters with an absolute perfect dense and eerie Lovecraftian atmosphere. The first time i played it was on the Nintendo 64, when my dad rented the game from a video rental store (back when you could still rent games too) and the Soundtrack was terrifying and really enhanced the offworldly vibes. When i got myself a copy of the Saturn in 2000, it introduced me to Nine Inch Nails in the best form possible. I even played a homebrew version of the PC version on my Dreamcast in 2005 and PSP back in 2007. The game has since been always part of ANY PC operating system install. No matter if Desktop or Laptop. It just has to be there. Of course nowdays with source ports. And till this day Quake and Quake III Arena are the best of the series. The Sci-Fi setting of Quake II and Quake IV just doesn't work… That's not Quake to me.
well once wise man said, "If Quake 2 is your worst game...you did a hell of a good job"
Awesome retrospective.
I kind of missed out on Quake when I was younger, too young when it came out (6 or something), and when I got my first PC when I was 12, I was all about Half-Life, Max Payne, Aliens versus Predator 1 & 2, and then later when I upgraded for HL2 and Max Payne 2 I discovered Doom 3, Quake 4, Prey, Halo and then FEAR, and those became my favourites (I had other non FPS one, C&C Tiberian Sun, Red Alert 2 I remember being really big for me, and later SW Jedi Outcast & Academy, and Splinter Cell Chaos Theory, and Dawn of War)
So the OG Doom & Quake kind of went past me, I was happy with the sequels and saw little reason to go back being a kid.
But now, with retro FPS games coming out in the last 3 years, I think the biggest thing that stands out about them for me over the flashier sequels is just the level design and architecture which were integral in creating an atmosphere, this subconscious sensation of running inside an infernal machine, being a rat inside a massive vertical maze.
Stuff like regenerating health, reloading, cover, run speed, those are things that work in their own gameplay balances, and it's a shame that they've influenced game direction after 2002-> in an unbalanced way, but in my mind the loss that was the biggest was a sacrifice in level design, until the indies and modders now.
So yeah, Quake has gone up there for me, as a newcomer.
And Slayer's Testaments, man, that "mod" is more of a game now, tons of cool maps, a lot more systems, it's just so ambitious and works together better than most of those Doom 2016/Eternal mods which lack the whole package that ties it all together, they often lack the maps that utilize the gameplay and enemies.
And Slayer's Testaments feels fresh because it isn't just a copy-paste of 2016/Eternal, but has it's own maps in the theme of that universe, within that old school level design philosophy.
I almost wish it were a paid game at this point, put it on steam -- If nothing else, put it on steam as a free mod that requires players to own Quake & 2016 & Eternal to be able to play (like Enderal for Skyrim or RealRTCW needing you to own the games - requiring them to hopefully appease the publishers about it not feeling like it's money out from their pockets), and then whenever the modders/devs do make their own game, people can see that they already have right there on their developer page one of the guaranteed highest rated mods on steam.
Hopefully Wrath: Aeon of Ruin turns out great despite the rocky development.
Doesn't Doombringer also use Quake 1/Darkplaces engine?
Can’t wait to play this on my Switch; hope we get the sequels on the console as well.
The fact that it got an official remaster makes me happy to finally try Quake properly, since somehow all my ports on PC were... Lets just say "not functional"
You’re right about Trent Reznor’s soundtrack being key to its success. Quake 2 is really just a game made in auto- pilot. No Romero meant Carmack took creative control and he made Quake 2 out of cardboard and Rivita’s to match his personality.
The reason Quake is such a masterpiece is because of the cohesion of all its elements and it’s restraint, Romero drops mushrooms and creates a vivid and unique universe then Carmack crafts it into something practical. Quake 2 is just practice. Quake 3 Carmack admitting he has no ideas at all and just makes a death match game.
Quake won’t be repeated any time soon. There is too much anxiety in game development. Everything has to be bigger, bolder and brighter (or muddier and gloomier this past generation). But art isn’t about adding things, it’s about leaving things out. Ok baroque art is about finding the most ostentatious and be bombastic end product but if it’s going to be art there has to be a strong and clear vision and meaning.
Half Life 2 achieves this with the environmental design being so bleak and deserted, almost haunted, using muted tones and utilitarian urban design. The meaning is that society has completely devolved in tyranny and mankind is in a state of near collapse. So the elements all combine (no pun intended) to amplify the other. This is what is meant by “greater than the sum of its parts”.
Quake achieves this with it’s tightly controlled blue-grey and brown natural textures of wood and stone. Everything is wood, stone, iron or water. The levels are all castles which are claustrophobic and damp and mossy. The sound design is echoing and clangy and scrapy. So the elements all cohere to one another. But above all, the ambient/industrial soundtrack ties it all together and draws you in, in stark contrast to the “wake up” power chords and riffs from all subsequent Quakes that simply follow and don’t add anything to the narrative.
So the concept of a cohesive and holistic approach to narrative is what’s missing from modern game design. Everything has to be multiplayer which harms the ability to craft a narrative and personal journey. Nowadays you have to have the latest effects and devs can get carried away.
I would like to see a considered and well realised world in a modern game but there are too many pressures to comply with such a game not being difficult, having online be the focus and an aversion to any theme which takes a unique and original direction.

Where do I fit in amongst Quake fans if I saw that I love 1, 2, 3, and 4? They were all a hell of a lot of fun.
AWESOME VIDEO as usual! good job! I need a Quake remake, but don't want modern Doom gameplay.
I would add that the community around Quake 1 is still very active: only at the 25 birthday 2 map sets were released with the total of about 20 maps, and to forget some more map sets released this month only.
when are we getting a re-review of the unreal series I grew up playing unreal, quake and doom
Did you know that Trent Reznor actually did the voice work for Ranger in this game? That's right, he didn't just do the soundtrack! I only found out recently and love the game even more for it.
I remember being on work experience in 1998 and they had nothing for me to do, so they just give me Quake to play. Great days.
Everyone always talks about Quake, they talk about the single player experience. There's practically NO ONE that talks about how big multiplayer was and how it spawned a yearly competitive event in QuakeCon.
Drink everytiem Gman says "also... as well" in one sentence.
Ah, Quake... my first ever FPS. This was the game that got me into the genre and I'll always have a soft spot for it. Its default control setup also stuck with me for so long: forward was the right mouse button, with sidesteps being period & comma. I never bothered to rebind anything so I just played it like that, and then used to also change the controls to that for every other FPS I played because that's what I was used to - it was YEARS before I finally switched to the WASD scheme.
Oh and also, if a Jeremy Clarkson voice pack isn't already an actual mod, it really needs to be!
Quake 2 was the first videogame I was ever introduced to. I have so many fond memories of that game, playing it with my dad and my brothers, getting the Chaos mod and grapple-hooking everywhere with my spider skin on pissing off people on the "moo clan" servers. It probably made me the man I am today. Happy Birthday Quake.
I haven't played Quake since Quake 2 was released, and I still wake at night in a cold sweat hearing the ogre grenade sound in my nightmares.
The Quake 1 soundtrack is only really outdone in terms of atmospheric creep at the time by Doom Playstation and 64.
Aubrey Hodges, what a genius in creepy atmosphere.
Yep that was pretty great too, agreed!
Love descent into cerberon
It didn't require a graphics card. Most gamers didn't play it with a voodoo card. That was a small minority. TBH most of PC gamers didn't get specific GPUs until Quake 3, which indeed REQUIRED a graphics card. That was a huge turning point for PC gaming. Luckily it happened at the same time as the arrival of Riva Vanta, which the first trully affordable fast GPU, and Voodoo's Glide was on it's death bed. I think you can pin point that as the very moment nVidia was set to become an empire from the underdog it was.
Qzone wasn't mentioned here smh!
lol jk! Good video, hapi burfdai Quake, and the news of ID creating a Quake singleplayer reboot is lit. Quake 1's story lends itself to exploring varied environments and dimensions - visiting a Q2-like realm but not limiting themselves to just that is possible. Indeed, 'alien humans' appear as Sentinels in nuDoom and could explain knights and death knight as well (if not an evil offshoot from that society).
Even Champions I've noticed was wise in incorporating more lovecraftian elements, and promoting Ranger - all BEFORE retro ranger and retro dm6 reared their awesomely polygonal heads. All in all, I hope this new reboot looks to Quake 1 and it's mission packs the most.
the fucking "mnugmn" sound when you gib something with explosives is engraved in my mind like a name on a tombstone
8:58 Sorry for what? Our daddy taught us not to be ashamed of our grenades.
Especially since they're such good size and all.
I was 9 years old when Quake came out but haven't played it until I was like 12 due to our family not having a PC. Even though 3 years was an eternity in world of FPS games back then and I've played many games that came after and prior to Quake, none of them mesmerized me to the same level. I fell even more in love after I've learned what Quakeworld is - to this day this is my benchmark of what online shooters should be about, even though I do not play anymore. When I've first got to play it with that amazing soundtrack (played pirated version without music first), it felt like being transferred to another dimension.
Few games, or in broader sense, products of culture have made me falling in unconditional love for them. Quake, Fallout 2, Wipeout series (from third one up to Omega Collection titles), Doom Eternal are the games I could bring to desert island and never get bored by them. In movie space, I feel the same about Alien, which I have watched more than 20 times through my life now and each time I loved every minute of it.
Yeah, Doom came first, DN3D set new benchmarks when it comes to interactivity, Unreal had huge levels with outdoor areas and good enemy AI, Half-Life turned the genre upside down, Soldier of Fortune excelled in gore and the list goes on and on.
Thing is, all these games have not captured the same thing that Quake did - a feeling of being transported to a twisted, broken, corrupted and rotten world full of dread.
I still play it to this day. One of the best games ever made!
Oh damn, the first sound effect of the weapon pickup just gave me chills.
LMFAO READY TO DO ANOTHER QUAKE REVIEW
