MachineGames, the developers behind Wolfenstein TNO, just released an entire new episode for the original QUAKE to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the series.

First Romero's new level of DOOM, now QUAKE...what's next?

Holy shit, trying this out when I get home.
>>342618948
wow, nice.going to give it a shoot
>>342619036
Hexen reboot at Quake-Con.
>that Nightmare skill selection
That was some low effort shit
How do I play this?
Sorry, I've only played vanilla Quake
Jesus fucking christ, these are the laziest secrets I have ever seen
>>342620159
How do I get these graphics? Steam version doesn't look nowhere near this good.
>>342620580
get a sourceport like quakespasm
>>342619669
like any other mod, just google how to play mods
>>342619036
Randy Pitchford making Episode 5 for Duke Nukem 3d.Which is probably happening since Gearbox made Devolver Digital to take down Megaton Edition off Steam so Gearbox can republish it themselves at a later date
>go check behind those crates
>SECRET AREA
Seriously?
I'm on the second map and between possibly the worst and easiest secrets I have ever seen and all the boring grunt and enforcer hordes, this is shaping up to be a 4/10 so far.
>>342620580
I'm using the Quakespasm source port. It's also important that you set the following console commands
gl_texturemode 3
gl_texture_anisotropy 16
r_particles 2
>>342618948
was about to post this
>>342619669
if you have winquake (like if you bought quake) then run the batch file
or get quakespasm and add "-game -dopa" to the command line
>>342620580
that's what it looks like without dogshit filtering you idiot
>>342621037
I'm running Darkplaces and it says it doesn't recognize a command "-game"
It's pretty fun but the last three levels are fucking masochistic and insane.
But the very end is lackluster as shit.
Last boss is literally two Shamblers. Something you fight several times throughout the episode.
>>342621980
>Quake has shitty 'bosses'
Par for the course.
>>342621224
Just use Quakespasm. Darkplaces a shit.
>Modern dev can't level design for shit

>>342623598
Fuck off, cynical cunt.
>>342623630
Yes. The lava calls you.
>>342622989
What's wrong with it?
just finished
some levels especially the earlier ones are a bit weak but it's pretty cool anyway
>>342623021
an ex raven software guy made maps for arcane dimensions
making a good interesting map isn't easy but i'd recommend anyone to try it out just get trenchbroom it's quite easy to figure out
>>342623959
Game's actually doing a right proper job of challenging me, this is a feeling I missed from Doom since I've played it so much that I can beat it with my eyes closed by now.
Also loving the atmosphere so far, especially finding random dudes just shambling about the halls of whatever this medieval looking place is. Not a big fan of how the screen gets shaken every time I take a hit, but I suppose that's a problem of me getting hit in the first place.
Quake 2 is better anyways.
>>342623959
how can i set this softwarerender-like nofilter?
im using qspasm
>>342626721
you could try directQ instead of quakespasm, it's a "as vanilla as possible" port.
Where I unzip the dopa.rar? In /id? How I play this shit?
>>342626485
Does Quake 2 have a source port? If so which one's the best?
>QUAKE on Steam still doesn't have the CD audio
>>342627157
nice
thank you anon
>>342627396
Unzip the folder in your main Quake directory.
>>342623598
>>342623824
How is he cynical? What he said was fucking awful, I thought it was an example about how one butcher a series.
>>342627396
unzip it into a "dopa" directory inside the main quake folder:
D:/MyGames/Quake/dopa
i use the directQ port, so i run it by creating a desktop shortcut with this location
D:/MyGames/Quake/DirectQ.exe -game dopa
if you don't use any sourceport, it works the same with the regular game exe:
D:/MyGames/Quake/Quake.exe -game dopa
>>342627875
>>342627950
Thanks, I just unzip to the main Quake directory and type "game dopa" (Quakespasm here)
>>342627410
>Muh lovecraftian lore
>>342628331
Don't forget
>better levels
>better atmosphere
>better enemies
Q2 has better music and weapons, though.
>>342628536
>buttrock generic industrial rock shit with synthesized guitars
>better than one of the best and most relevant nine inch nails albums
i'm gonna say no
it amazes me how many people on /v/ automatically like buttrock. just make any notes with overdriven distorted guitars and you guys love it. same fucking music from doom 4.
>>342621019
Welp, I got to the second to the last map before quitting out of boredom. It's very challenging but it's completely dull.
Early maps
>grunt and enforcer spam
Mid maps
>death knight and ogre spam
I've been playing on Hard and plenty of encounters feel like they just multiplied the amount of enemies 2x. They don't necessarily make the encounters harder, they just make them drawn out. Maybe the maps were designed around Normal and they only multiplied the enemy count in Hard, I don't know.
Also, there's been a couple of poorly telegraphed instakill traps late into their respective levels so if you don't quicksave you're fucked. Also, lots of rehashed encounters where you're put in a T shaped room and enemies come at you from opposite ends once you reach the intersection. Also, lots of rehashed "hey let's make the player fight ogres in a partially submerged room so he can't see where their grenades bounce" shit.
If you want a good, albeit monotonous challenge, then it's an okay episode. If you want good Quake level design with interesting flow and architecture and varied enemy encounters, look elsewhere. Play the Quake mission packs instead, or play user-made episodes such as Beyond Belief or Terra.
i still prefer q1 to second one but i dont get the amount of shit it gets here.
still a great game and i cant count how many times ive played it back in the diamond monster voodoo days
>>342628972
>Also, lots of rehashed encounters where you're put in a T shaped room and enemies come at you from opposite ends once you reach the intersection.
lol this is the entire design ethos of wolfenstein. they have no idea how to design a quake level
>>342628972
what studio made the mission packs? i have it on steam for quite a while but never touched it
>>342628839
Nine inch is pretentious shit anon.
>>342618948
Should I re-install darkplaces for this or is there something better?
>>342629283
>Nine inch is pretentious
ahhaha what the fuck
>>342619189
>Hexen reboot at Quake-Con.
I thought Raven had the rights.
>>342626721
gl_texturemode gl_nearest_mipmap_linear in the console.
DirectQ, Darkplaces or Glquake?
>>342629631
>>342629368
read the fucking thread idiots holy shit
>>342629686
Quakespam?
How is it better than darkplaces?
>>342628839
Because it's catchy and memorable. As far as ambient music goes, Doom 64 > Q1.
>>342629869
everything that isn't darkplaces is better than darkplaces.
darkplaces aim is to "improve" quake, it breaks it in every way by trying to do this. it also doesn't have basic stuff like faithful physics.
Played through it on nightmare and thought it was alright.
>>342630629
omg so cute
pretty bad desu
if they wanted to show all of quake's weaknesses then they succeeded
Give me a blood remake
>>342629686
i read the thread and saw nothing helpful, idiot.
>>342630238
I did a run on vanilla, and then on darkplaces.
Alright quakespasm it is.
>>342630960
>all of quake's weaknesses
Which would those be?
>>342630238
>get quakespasm
>fullscreen doesn't even work
nice shitware
>>342631309
Quakespasm, mister.
>>342631667
Just how incompetent are you?
>>342631667
Just alt+enter, underage boy
>>342631434
i might have exagerated in my statement, but the bullet sponge enemies and bland textures come to mind now.
quake is not doom, you don't need to put 20 of the same monster inside a room to make it challenging.
on quakespam type "game dopa" instead of "-game -dopa" like some previous retard said.
then go on "new game" to start the game as normal, it goes directly into the new episode
>>342631987
from a shortcut or terminal: -game dopa
from quake's console: game dopa
that's all
This map was actually really good
Make way guys, best album coming through
>>342631434
I can see what that anon is getting at. Quake's enemies have a much higher average health than Doom's, and Ranger's arsenal doesn't have anything as lethal as Doomguy's SSG and BFG. These are not necessarily weaknesses but differences in design. The problem is that the enemy encounters in MachineGames' episode feel more like they're designed for Doom's gameplay rather than Quake's.
>>342620580
If you are using the steam version, try this:
>Go to the Quake folder
>Go to dopa folder
>Open "AUTOEXEC.CFG"
>Add this
alias pixel_on “gl_texturemode GL_NEAREST_MIPMAP_LINEAR; bind o pixel_off”
alias pixel_off “gl_texturemode GL_LINEAR_MIPMAP_LINEAR; bind o pixel_on”
bind o pixel_on
>Save the file
>Open Quake
>Star a new game/ load save file
>Press "o"
>Done
>>342632216
Quake was limited to 2-4 enemies on screen at once because of the 3D rendering/hardware limitations in 1996
You can easily play Quake like Doom, it's just as fast and the enemies can be dodged and can be killed just as well as you can do such things in Doom
>>342632421
when you need 10 shots instead of 2-3 it just becomes a chore. it's not challenging, just boring.
>>342632216
Whoops, didn't mean to post that picture.
>>342632143
I just ran past the shamblers, it was a bullshit encounter that was like a health check. If you don't have at least X amount of health by the time you get there, you're dead no matter how good you are.
>>342632639
Oh alright I see what you mean now, I agree.

>>342633235
Good god that is ugly as fuck.
>>342633235
Looks like ASS.
>>342633235
I would be really excited for those graphics in 1997, but now it just looks dumb as fuck.
>>342633235
>look mom I put a bunch of blinding lights with bloom cranked up in my game from 1996 doesn't it look good?

Any way to increase the crosshair size in Quakespasm?
>>342633987
>Playing Quake with a crosshair
Fuckingdisgusting.jpg
meanwhile doom gets a new megawad monthly
oh wow, we made "slower shittier doom" a new group of levels!
look fire this rocket at the ground, you don't even die! haha so skill, rockets jump pro
>>342632421
Regardless of what Quake's limitations were, the game's bestiary and weapons were designed around smaller quantities of enemies. Just because modern source ports allow you to spam enemies in an encounter doesn't mean that it synergizes well with the game's gameplay. The enemy spam in this episode feels like a crutch to make up for how the mappers couldn't make interesting level geometry/architecture to make small enemy encounters challenging, and the enemy spam in this episode doesn't necessarily make the encounters challenging anyway, just drawn out.
>>342633987
scr_crosshairscale
>>342634138
Why? I don't remember having no crosshair even in the 90's.
>>342634339
Thanks.

>>342618948
So I got Quake and Quake II from GOG but I really hate how smooth everything looks. I want it to look oldschool like how I remember it all pixel-like and whatnot, you know what I mean? Low res textures? Blocky? Not sure what the wording is.
>>342621019
>It's also important that you set the following console commands
>gl_texturemode 3
>gl_texture_anisotropy 16
>r_particles 2
You beautiful bastard! I put those in and it's the old pixelated Quake I know and love, but in high definition! Thanks anon!
>>342634748
There is a dos version to play the game in for Gog which is located in the folder
>>342634748
no you don't have to do any dos shit, there is a command that removes the aliasing or whatever, but it will depend on port and so forth
I dont feel like looking this up for you, here's the first google result
https://www.quaddicted.com/engines/software_vs_glquake
>>342623598
Sounds closer to id's original vision for Quake.
>>342634748
Try Quakespasm with this >>342632362.
>>342634748
If I'm not mistaken the GOG release uses GLQuake, in which case you can enter "gl_texturemode gl_nearest" in the console to get the blocky textures like in the original software renderer.
is ezquake obsolete now?
>>342635670
Nope, but it's only good for multiplayer.
you nearest neighbor fags do realize id was using state of the art bilinear filtered hardware when they designed the graphics right? doom is the only one you should run without filtering.
>>342635980
shouldn't you be on /v/ explaining why the only proper filtering effect for 16 bit games is applying slobber directly to the monitor
I find it
Doesn't quake suck?
>>342636134
there are bretty good crt filters these days
but just don't use goddamn hq4x and you're fine
>>342627805
Is there a way to get the audio? Some sort of download place >_>
>>342636304
it was a gameplay downgrade because it normalized half-self damage and slower movement
though I admit being able to look straight up, combined with romero's level design was fucking awesome at the time
>>342628536
>Q2 has better music
Jesus fuck I hope you die in a car crash you humongous faggot with awful taste in music.
Are any Quake games worth playing for single-player besides Quake 1?
>>342627892
It's cynical because we have little reason to believe this is what will happen after they handled Doom so well.
Also, even if it wasn't cynical it's a low-effort shitpost. "Make up ways this could really suck" doesn't make conversation.
>>342636596
q2's was good, so its possible to understand that opinion
but yes q1 is still one of the best and most appropriate soundtracks of all times, it's john williams tier as far as setting the mood
>>342636628
Not really. Also, Quake 1 with Omicron bots is more enjoyable than Quake 3.
>>342636628
Quakespasm
>host_maxfps 1000
>slopes and moving platforms no longer work

Darkplaces is the best (single player) source port. Prove me wrong.
