This game has no atmosphere.
op has sex with men
>>12258774False. It appears that the strogg planet has a thin atmosphere
For me, it's The Reckoning and the N64 version.
>>12258808those have no atmosphere i agree
Q1 > Q3 >>>>>>>>>> Q2 > Q4 > Q5

>>12258774Incorrect, play it without the soundtrack and it turns into uneasy horrorkino
>>12258896Using the Hodges/N64 soundtrack works well, too.
The bullet lighting counts as atmosphere.

>>12258774it's stanky but being the middle sibling between q1 and q3 is an unenviable fate. It and dark souls 2 should pair bond. Though they should be neutered first, we have enough failures in gaming already.>>12259160So real...
>>12259209Marathon 2 and ∞ ambience mogs this
I played the N64 version first (just like Quake) and I loved it.I then bought it on GOG and also tried to replay it with RTX: ON but it just didn’t have the same magic as the N64 version. Not sure if it’s because I was young or what. I’m replaying the N64 version on my Analogue 3D and the magic is there!
>>12258774I wonder who is the fag behind OP, it must be a pisscord tranny from slipseer, uses a sheep as a avatar and cut his genitals to be refered as "female"And is anal that map center Q2 maps ended up better than whatever the garbage jams they made for Q1
>>12259637map center's Q1 retro jams 2-4 were legit more fun and inventive than anything else that came out of Q1's mapping scene in 25 years
>>12259264The levels in the N64 version have a different philosophy, they're more compact and arcade like, whereas the original is more story oriented. IIRC each level in the N64 version is independant too while in the OG they're hubs. The level design philosophy of the N64 levels is more akin to Doom or Build Engine games than to the OG Q2, and I too quite like that.
>>12259639yeah, and all are from people who hates slipseer, spirit and the q1 circlejerk.which pisses them off even more>>12259647I wish Q2R had set Q2N64 as its own stuff so it would be easier to load custom textures to it.i wouldn't mind loading the stuff i did again on photoshop and gimp to make n64 versions of it and more unique, in fact the maiden's face here looks more human than the original texture to a point you can notice a nose and "lips"
>>12258774Did Trent really say that?
>>12259650imagine being so obsessed with quake but only making maps for arcane dimensions, alkaline and copper
>>12259946AD is great, but its consequences brought too many retards into the fold.
>>12259958AD might as well have been a wave defense mod
>>12258896It's decent but I think Quake 4 did what it was trying to do with its atmosphere better by doubling down on the gross body horror and bio-tech aspect of the Strogg. I think Quake 2 could have been grosser and more off putting is what I'm saying. Maybe it was a technical limitation thing as I don't think that version of ID tech would be capable of doing a lot of the shit 4 does but they could have improvised I think as some Quake 2 mods actually do successfully put in some gross ass shit in them.
>>12259991Ideally if another Quake focused on the Strogg came out I think it would be best to emphasize the shock and body horror aspect to differentiate them from the "Generic cyborg alien enemy" that people I think unfairly malign them as and stand out as compared to Quake 1's enemies. The design of the Strogg in Quake wars is kind of step back in this regard when really they should be showing Outlast tier sick fuckery in those human harvesting facilities like 4 did. Course we are in an era where every game company pre censors their shit for Chinese and European audiences so I doubt they would be that ballsy.
>>12258774Are any of the quake games worse playing? Played doom 1 and started doom 2 but wasn’t liking it
>>12260070I like Quake 1 for its dungeon like level design. Traps, interesting obstacles and progression mechanics.
>>12260092Yeah I love Quake 1's traps. Some of them are super mean and I think that's great. Makes it feel like the world of the game hates you and the Dungeon type level design and atmosphere adds to it.
>>12260070Doom 2 is like reverse Doom 1. It starts out really bad but gets fun after the first 10 or so levels.Q1, Q2, Q4 are all worh playing. Q3 is multiplayer only but there are bots.
i have a n64 and this thread is making me wanna buy quake
>>12260345Buy all the id games for N64. They are all good and fun. On other good PC port for the N64 is StarCraft 64. I still love playing it
>>12259647what the hell? i never knew the N64 version looked like this, it's dope as hell.
>>12258774Not true at all. The mind broken prisoners saying "kill me" was disturbing and spooky. Definitely see where Quake 4 got the inspiration.
>>12260345>>12261465You can play the N64 version of Quake II in the enhanced remaster now
>>12261916There's also a pretty good mod for it that lets you play the PSX version too and it's pretty fun. I just played it for the first time recently.
>>12259639Don’t forget the brutalist jams. They were so nice. A third compilation is coming.
