![]() The keyboard config was fucked up and I just couldn't get it worked out in time before the match began so I did what I always do: left mouse = fire, right mouse = jump, wheel button = move forward (always run enabled), wheel up/down = next/previous weapon. I was damned proud of that and people just couldn't believe I wasted 'em all with just the damned mouse.īut that total frenetic buzz generation is something I sincerely miss from what Quake was and forever will be for me.I mean, I still play LAN with a friend on a weekly basis. I will never play D2 (Sacred 2 is superior imo), but removing features is never a good thing. A remake has to be better and has to offer more features than the original, otherwise you could just release a high-res texture and animation pack for the old game and call it a day.īlizzard isn't just bad, they are dishonest. Plenty of other modern games release with TCP/IP functionality, without any security concerns. Id is definitely working on a new one I feel like with all this Quake. Blizz could just say "we're limiting piracy" and everyone would be somewhat fine. Quake 2 is on the original PlayStation and 64. Quake III Arena was also on Sega Dreamcast and playable online. But to praise this as a service to the customer ist a blatant lie. The customer has only disadvantages through this decision.It’s not a remake, it’s a remaster. If you used to lan D2 still today it’s very unfortunate for you and I agree that less features is worse than more feature but I still can’t imagine millions of people in 2021 meeting in a garage everyone with their own pc and monitor to play D2 in LAN like I did ages ago with Quake 3 Arena. ![]() It’s basically the old game with a new layer of graphics, the fact that you can seamlessly switch between old and new graphics is a proof of that. If you used to lan D2 still today it’s very unfortunate for you and I agree that less features is worse than more feature but I still can’t imagine millions of people in 2021 meeting in a garage everyone with their own pc and monitor to play D2 in LAN like I did ages ago with Quake 3 Arena.You're right that this will not have a huge impact. It's more the way Blizzard implemented this change (and their obviously pretentious reasoning) that urks me. But nonetheless, D2 remake/remaster is highly awaited, because D2 is popular to this day. D2 remaster will probably be as popular then as D2 classic is now. They are the same you can get both quake 3 gold on gog and quake live on steam, they are incredibly cheap. But what if Blizzard decides to stop supporting it? TCP/IP gives a customer agency and independance removing it also means that your ability to play the game with friends is entirely dependand on Blizzard's will to support the game (or even Blizzard's existance). Most people will probably be on quake live but quake 3 regular still exists. Do people still play quake 3 arena free#Īgain, yes it's relatively unlikely to have an impact.Do people still play quake 3 arena mods#.Quake III might be interesting though, if there are new players. As for the others, it has to be vanilla for me. A DRM free copy of Quake II is always welcome. I wonder if OSP will work with the GOG release.Īnyways, thanks for the heads up. I know Quake Live is on STEAM but it's very different (worse) than the original Quake III with all the loadout system and damage reduction they have done to the weapons in order to make it more balanced (casual). Hopefully the GOG release will bring some new players to the game for a while. One of them even stops by here and posts thingsĪs with most iD Tech games you can simple drop console in Quake III (and RTCW) and add : I'll just say two ports even bother with proper widescreen expansion and it's not the popular one but rather obscure ones. Q3A- superlatives are also very abused here (often together wth the strange word "SDL".). Most of the other ports out there are shooting-in-foot "this is how it should be done!! recompile your mods get a 3d card" or some particle/shader system coder fantasy high things as if they mattered. What it does is fix bugs and does it wider. RTCW - Knightmare's unofficial RTCW patch. Ports for this often break stuff (like endings) Wolf3D - Stick with the original binaries. Makes me all □ and just go for the most purist thing. the sourceports you'll find for those three will be "i'm the best!!! cruft cruft cruft" variety.
