..of buying a new high end pc when 90% of the time all I do is play QuakeWorld?

Should I cancel my order for a new tower of power?

Easily the best classic ID FPS from the 90s, better than doom 1 and 2, now to the expansions. 10/10

Hi,

I recently got QL from Steam and most of the things look stock, i.e. guns textures, items. I saw those old tournament videos and their gameplay looks much better than Q3A based. One of them below.

Does anyone know if they used some updated packs?

Thanks.

Over 10 years ago I organized the Quake 3 15th Anniversary Contest. I managed to convince Pixologic to donate 3 digital ZBrush licenses ($2385 value), including T-shirts and key-chains. I also partnered with id Software who donated Quake Live memberships (which was still a thing back then), Voitec 'Buddy' Stark from textures.com who donated a 1-year membership and Jochum 'Hipshot' Skoglund who donated 4-packs of his first game Hammerwatch and a cash prize.

I was also very proud to have been able to put together an amazing panel of judges. Consisting out of Adam 'SyncError' Pyle from Id Software, Matthew 'Lunaran' Breit, Ferdinand 'cityy' List and Emile 'Obsidian' Ong. Maps were judged in 4 different categories namely gameplay, technical, presentation and creativity.

Been playing Quake since the mid 90's, Quake III (1999) is by far my favorite, I always play Biker since '99 🏍️🔥

They gotta do it! 💀

I bought Quake 1 on steam sale and don't know what are these map packs in the add-on sections, I know the game has 4 oficial expansions so what are these add-on exactly, are they official?

I'm learning to use Trenchbroom after looking at the brutalist jams, and I can't seem to find if it's possible to set a camera point or make a fight through of the map for someting like a cutscene in the game

I am maintaining a list of quake related pages: https://rumca-js.github.io/quickstart/public/static_lists/quake.html

Do you know any more pages with quake content?

So my first jump intl the series will be on the sega saturn..Is this a fine choice? Im pretty stoked tbh, Thanks!

I want to show a friend of mine Arcane Dimensions, but she has a really rough time with spiders, and while I was setting it up I happened to go into the level ad_tfuma and I know that this is gonna be a problem. I can just tell her "Oh don't do this one" no problem-- but what other levels do those enemies appear in? Is there any way to find out?

i loaded the map with the textures loaded in trench broom but they just show up as red checkers.. any solutions?

Having recently watched the run through for Zaero and finishing Citadel, both expansions would make quality editions for console players.

Recently, I got back into retro shooters with games like Cultic and Dusk reminding me just how much fun they are. It actually started bout a month ago when I bought Sulfur, which to be fair is more of a retroshooting-roguelite hybrid and a good one at that (though still early access) but it got me yearning that type of fast paced gunplay A LOT.

So, I decided to start a replaying spree revisiting the classics and then moving on the early 2000s. Now, maybe logic would dictate I start with the original Quake, but the sequel Quake 2 (GOG FTW)  was one of the games from my childhood so I started off there. I’ll probably play Quake 1 afterwards just to se how they compare.

Well, this is where my journey started and from the outset, let me just tell you this — first thing that impressed me was how darn well the graphics have held up after almost 30 years. No, really, I just wasn’t expecting it to be this evergreen. Just on that graphics front, it aged like fine wine. When it comes to the gameplay and the overall progression, well what’s there to say that y’all don’t already know – it’s just as crisp and fast, and plays more like a 10/10 movie action thriller than most modern games, and with 10 times fewer assets. By the mid-game, I was totally in synch with the rustpunk (or rusty sci-fi?) environments that instead of getting stale, just added layers on top of each other, especially with the secret levels that my adult brain could now actually FIND. Imma be honest, I forgot how big some of the levels are, and how we’ll they’re crafted, and how innovative the boss designs were for that time. Well, I’ve just beat the Tank so that goes for 2 at least, but I wasn’t disappointed. They’re not complex, but they just FIT the design of the game without breaking its pacing with some out-of-the-loop mechanics that would arguably be to too forced.

The long and short of it is that I’m enjoying myself thoroughly and it’s certainly one of those games that have stood the test of time, and then some. So consider this a love letter to one of the first games I played as a kid, as well as the latest game I replayed. <3

I just beat the first expansion, and once I finish the second expansion, I want to play some custom maps. What are the best custom maps, and where are they usually uploaded?

my computer doesn't struggle to run games typically, but quake seems to be bringing my laptop to its knees. every thirty seconds or so, the fps tanks from 138 to 4 fps. i had the same issue no matter what the fps limit was set to, and it's not just the game that lags, its my entire computer.

i've tried turning the graphics settings low, it's running off of my nvidia gpu and not the internal one, my drivers are updated, ive tried using the r_gpuculling thing, and nothing is working. its everywhere in the game, including the menus and splashscreens. i've also tried unistalling and reinstalling the game

i have a
nvidia geforce rtx 3050 ti laptop gpu
amd ryzen 7 5800h cpu

edit: this issue only occurs when my xbox x/s wireless controller is connected with bluetooth! connecting the controller with a usb cord seems to resolve the problem.

set your alarms or so

I don't want to play the rerelease of Quake II, how can I play the orginal?

Recently started playing the first quake since I got it for cheap on steam and its great! But I noticed that before launching the game, there are multiple options to choose. What are the main differences between the quake (original) one and the regular one? I started playing on the (I assume) remastered option. But should I play the original version first or is this option the best for first time playthrough? I tried to get into the original one, but I could not change my resolution to native for some reason. It didn't allow me to choose. Theres also some other options there, but I dont know what they are. Any insight on this would be greatly appreciated.
