Wolfenstein and Doom have had tremendous success with their reborn franchises, and the remasters of the original Doom games got all new levels designed by John Romero. The “boomer shooter” renaissance is upon us thanks to initiatives within the industry remastering the classics, and newer games adopting their sensibilities. It’s been literal decades since I first picked this series up, but I’m very ready to hop, strafe, and frag my way back in. ll of this, plus gyro-aiming on the Switch and a pretty reasonable $9.99 price point (or available simply as part of Xbox Game Pass), is a pretty rad announcement for nostalgic Quake players like myself. The remaster will also still have its soundtrack, including the theme by Trent Reznor. There are also some visual touch-ups, like anti-aliasing and enhanced models. ENDER LILIES: Quietus of the Knights Switch According to the store description on Microsoft and the Nintendo eShop, this version of Quake will get higher resolution (depending on platform) and widescreen support. The remaster brings Quake to PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch with next-gen versions (and a free upgrade) on the way, and it’s got some extra content in store, too. Just in time for QuakeCon, here’s some QuakeĪfter popping up on the radar a few times ahead of this weekend’s QuakeCon, a remaster of the first Quake game is out now. The game includes ‘free, curated, fan-made and official mods and missions such as Quake 64’, with more promised soon. Also, campaign co-op and online play is all cross-platform with PlayStation, Xbox and PC. In a nice touch there are dedicated servers for online matchmaking, and if you do decide to setup custom matches with friends it’ll use peer-to-peer. In terms of multiplayer there’s co-op for two players splitscreen or up to 4 players online in competitive there’s online for 8 players or local splitscreen for 4 players.
