Quake II is back - and it’s cross-platform and cross-play too!

    I was a bit disappointed by Quake II RTX, which felt like an engine hack with nothing more. This looks like the proper remaster we’ve been waiting for.

    Love the inclusion of the Nintendo 64 port, like how it was also included with the Quake I remaster.

    I have zero nostalgia for Quake (i was 5 when it came out lol), but i wonder how this will do! Quake Champions didn’t seem to light the world on fire, but i wonder if the multiplayer scene here will blow up.

    I can’t wait to play this! Quake II and Quake III Arena are my all time favourite games. God they were just so cool when they came out. Quake II especially was light years beyond anything else out at the time. And they were FAST too!

    That’s the game I first used this name in online multiplayer. Was weirded out when I started seeing Orbitz travel popups (I was thinking of that drink, hadn’t heard of the travel site). Don’t recall much of the game other than for the time it looked quite clean, shiny and well lit compared to the original Quake. Though I don’t think I even finished the single player so I may have missed out on later atmosphere.
