Good rant by Gman, Quake 2 was always the best Quake Razz

I think i'll give it a go on my ""retro"" PC (has a CRT screen).

They removed the recoil entirely from the assault rifle and they implemented a waypoint system. Press Q and have a NFS type of line apear and an arrow.

6 gigs for this remaster, da fuck, yet the texture text on my crashed pod bitterman was barely readable and pixelated as fuck ? AI upscale detected ...

and soooo dissapointed they make u fly around a big ass gun fifty times, but they never fire it, could have easily render a firing animation on top of it zzzz

OMG and there is still loading times in between the levels WTF ....

funny yet more proof how shit gaming has become is , the enemies that duck in place and avoid a headshot that way and try shoot as dieing animation, is immersive , yet unseen in 20 years ... sad sad state of shooter gaming

Texture compression = texture data need to be decompressed for each level.

As for yet another "enhanced edition"... yawn.

? they've been around since 198X (not 1911). One of the most well-known warez/demos groups, actually the oldest.

...maybe you should've asked in the 80's where it seems more relevant than some 40 years later. so yes indeed "what year is it?" Wink

edit:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Razor_1911

"The group was founded as Razor 2992 by Doctor No, Insane TTM and Sector9 in Norway in October 1985 as a Commodore 64 software cracking group. Shortly after, they changed from 2992 to 1911 which translates to 777 in hexadecimal."

Yes, I know. I also know they still release stuff (not sure if they do any cracking nowadays), it's just I mostly remember them from the 00's.

Looked at the Credits...
starts with:

Quake II
Night Dive Studios

Chief Executive Officer
Stepen Kicks

then names from his company who worked on the enchantments.

is it me or isn't that kinda shoddy? yes ID software is mentioned lastly, not what they did though...

Must feel nice to take credit for creating Quake 2. Smooth Rolling Eyes

I'm always sceptical with Night Dive Studios. Because of the whole System Shock fuck up that somehow end up ok and because most of their "remasters" are not much more than what gog did with all the abandonware.

To be honest, they're kinda scumbags. Every single game they remastered is better played original due to their scummy arbitrary changes. Their main point of these releases is to make them for consoles, so they'll change shit if it doesnt work on a pad to better suit it or stuff they personally dont like. They removed the recoil for the automatic rifle entirely. Where you would had to fire short burts and control the violent recoil you now have a near automatic sniper rifle. Many people complained and one of the devs literally said the heavy recoil is a nothingburger when playing with mouse/keyboard, but they just couldnt make it work on a controller. So they removed it entirely then. People found all sorts of changes for god knows what reason.

And the compas in fucking quake 2 feels like a parody from 10 years ago when people were making videos "if quake was made today". These guys actually made the jokes into reality. They removed the exploration and figuring out aspect of classic shooters.
