Yeah I remember playing Q2 on Lan parties and later online in Threewave Capture the Flag, and even on Linux. And yeah it was underrated. Whenever people talked about Quake, this one was weirdly skipped over.
@@Marc_AraujoGamers are gonna look down on me but I didn't play the Quake series until it was ported to the Switch. I had fun when I bought Quake 1 and 2 from the eshop. Plus, I also miss gamespy.😢
And why would it not run smoothly? Man this game was released originally in 1997 and the Nintendo release from this year is even cut down version of that game and not graphically enhanced in any way. Back than we had PCI gpus likes of Riva 128 (that had 4 MiB of sgram on it - yes mega not giga) why on earth would that game not run smoothly on any hardware from recent years?
There is a brand new expansion that launched with this called "Call of the Machine". It was made by industry veterans with modern tools and whatnot. It feels very nice to play. This expansion alone is worth the 10 dollar price tag.
The new "Expansion" was handled by Machine Games (the guys who are owned by Bethesda and do the current Wolfenstein games, I think they're doing that Indiana Jones game too from memory) they also did new expansions for the Doom 1/2 and Quake 1 Remasters as well.
Quake 2 on Switch looks exactly the way I remember from PC. You had to have a 3dfx card, but yeah it looked like that. The models now animate smoother and you have anti aliasing, but the textures are identical, which is good. It's basically done just like Quake 1 remaster. All in all, perfect, love it! RGT, the textures weren't upgraded at all, but we have linear filtering there, just like on 3dfx, so it's kinda smooth. But that's okay.
This is my all time favourite game. I was UNSTOPPABLE in multiplayer back in the day. I won a tournament and the prize was an N64 Goldeneye pack. I hope they’ve kept the original soundtrack in these versions as it’s amazing
Yeah, he's a fake nintendo youtuber. I don't understand why he keeps saying he is not a switch reviewer but does the most switch reviews lmao he also does it for clout. The guy's a hypocrit. It's ok to be a Sega fan and what not but don't lie to yourself acting like the switch is trash. It's hard not to like the switch. It's one of the greatest hybrids ever released
The graphics in this release look, from what I remember, very much like Q2 is you we're running with a 3DFX Voodoo video card. The colored and better lighting along with the smooth textures.
The Textures look the same but maybe they have better filtering (16x anisotropic or whatever). What they improved are the models, effects and illumination.
Such a good remaster. I didn't play Quake 2 before. This was my first time, and it was a blast. I have played lot of ID games, but I have been ignoring quake 2 all this time. Now with the remaster I discovered it and as I said it was awesome. The performance is perfect.
YES!! Quake 2 was one of my favorite games of my childhood, so it is so good to see it finally be here in the modern age! I rarely buy games at the initial price they are released at, but I spent the 10 dollars because I couldn't wait to play it again. And wow the wait was so worth it! I'm loving Nightdive more and more seeing them show this much love to polygonal 3D classics like Shadow Man and System Shock.
The railgun in this game is by far my favorite weapon of all games. Really would like to see that familiar red gun with same mechanics in future games. We need a new quake.
When I worked at Eidos we had an office LAN set-up (1998 onwards) and Quake 2 DM was regularly played, until Quake 3 popped up. Q2 is a great game, I don't think it quite touches the atmosphere of Q1 and the death-match has a different feel. If you get used to the rail-gun and like PVP, you'll dominate on the larger maps.
Whats more exciting, is we get 2 entirely different versions. N64 Quake 2 had entirely different levels, is was not the PC version. Nintendo felt people wouldn't buy it due to the fact most people had already played it on the PC, and therefore wouldn't be willing to shell out more money just to play the same thing again. So they opted for all new levels thus making it a version no PC player had played before.
@@mattfayne9691 that's good thinking, didn't realise that. Love Quake 2 for the n 64 because of its soundtrack as well, Aubrey Hodges done a great job making it haunting like the first Quake and Doom 64
Never played Q2, gonna pick it up soon. But man Quake 3 Arena in H.S. was awesome. Would do my work and hop on the classroom PCs to play with other students. LOL yes we played on school PCs. They had little to no security and content filtering measures back then.
It was not only the 3D mapped characters. It also had true vertical 3D perspective, compared to Doom. And not to forget, it was truly cross-platform. Played it on universities IBM AIX workstations in the 90s. LAN and single player.
This is one of the most innovative games of all time. It singlehandedly created Capture the Flag, fast-paced shooters, and the double jump/strafe jump mechanics! Then you have the grappling :O
When I heard this was $10. I instantly went to the eShop. This one always stood out to me and was the first one I played. It introduced me to Duke Nukkem, Wolfenstein & DOOM.
This is why you're one of my favourite Nintendo TH-camrs ❤ I was more of an old school Doom player back in the day but the way you hyped up this one I'm actually curious about this!
I loved this on the PlayStation back in the day. The soundtrack was amazing. Descent into Cerberon is still a killer track. Will def pick up a physical copy.
Beating this in VR is a treat. RG85 have you played Jedi Outcast, Doom 1-3, Wolfenstein, or any retro games on your Quest 2? TeamBeef does incredible ports.
If you remember your Quake II clan, holler out! I was clan leader of MKx, the Midnight Killers. I was originally rejected from RGS at age 13, spent hours putting together a clan of guys much better than me. Because of this, I improved, asked the RGS leader for a match, and our boys absolutely crushed them. It was beautiful. Later, I joined KANE in Q3. I have so many fond memories of those guys and this game. That is the power of a truly remarkable game like Quake. -MKxKingfalcon, MKxMusician, KANExMusician, KANExEluvium shout out to MKxRob, AlaskanDan, LimpBizkit and Drist, if you guys are out there, then all of KANE.
Awesome video. I just saw on my switch last night that quake 2 was available and got super excited. Brings me back to 1998, playing it on my buddy's n64. Had to decide whether to get it on Steam or Switch, and I think I'll do the switch because this might be a perfect portable game while on the go. Or maybe both... idk yet. Switch first though...
@RGT85 watched this video and then went and bought this game based on your recommendation, £7.99 in the UK and its a great game, looks and plays brilliantly!
Kind of surprised you didn't play Quake II on your X360. I don't know 100%, but the copy of Quake 4 had Quake 2 bundled in as a freebie. At that particular time it was considered the best version of Q2 due to the power of the X360 providing fluid 1080p/60fps game play and improved lighting. Granted, it was nothing compared to this new shadow dropped enhancement. Now if only EPIC Games would give us some Unreal games using Unreal 4 or 5, or whatever version it is at now.
I played this game a million times on PS1 as a kid. It had a completely different color palette and style on the ps1. It also ran at 30fps and you moved with the D-pad and aimed up and down with L1 and R1. And I loved it and played it a ton of times! Having it portable with all of these improvements is everything I could have wished for!
I'm really interested in seeing what they might do with Quake 4. That was the first Quake game I ever played, because I didn't play a whole lot of FPS games when I was younger. Because of that fact, it's the standout Quake experience for me.
Quake is Lovecraftian inspired, while Quake 2 dropped the Lovecraft and used more cybernetic aliens and space tech. Both are personal masterpieces to me.
2:18 Looking to first person shooters of the last 10 years and explosive return of retro shooters genre, sometimes it's questionable if shooters are actually "evolved" for the last 10-15 years...
I can answer some of your questions. The real time shadows like the fan you describe are not in the original. The graphics are slightly better but overall it looks just how it did in 1997. Back then only the rich folks had dedicated graphics cards we used onboard with fullbright ugly lighting, the opengl shading was brand new in this title. Fun little fact explosions are 3D solid objects. The most fun you'll have after doing the campaign is the multi-player, death match on "The Edge" is a blast, also coop single player campaign with friends is a MUST.
I’m so happy it takes advantage of all platforms. Crossplay, gyro on switch/PS, and 4K/120fps for current gen machines. Gyro with 120fps has been a dream
Insta purchase just like the other quake, well worth the money, a party in the box on switch. We had so many fun games in the living-room on the other Quake. They also added COOP in Q2!
I bought the game for the switch. I had received the update for the PC because I already had Quake 2 but I still played through the main Q2 campaign on the switch and had tons of fun. It's just a great experience. Regardless of which port you play, this is a game that deserves your time. This review doesn't mention the Call of the Machine expansion, it's a new one created by MachineGames and it's worth your time. id has given love for the switching with all the ports, all of the games are worth your time and money
Off topic slightly. I have been playing quake 1 on ps5 AND the series S XBOX. And, it's like two completely different looking games that are identical twins. It's weird that they are both the same yet radically different. Now I played the series S using cloud gaming, and unlike the playstation streaming service, it actually works a treat. I'm actually blown away by both versions of the same game. However I did download quake 2 on Xbox gamepass and it's awesome. The super shotgun is awesome. The feedback is awesome. The punchy gun sounds. God I miss the old keyboard and mouse quake 3 arena on Dreamcast.
Q2 is one of my fav games ever. I got it right when it came out and played it on my Pentium 233 MMX with a 3dfx Voodoo Rush card (Intergraph Intense 3D Voodoo) and Windows 95! At the time, like a lot of people, I played with the keyboard only which is not great. Someone I knew from the net (Kali NET specifically) wanted to do a 1v1 DM match with me who used mouse and keyboard and showed me how much better that was. It was like 50 to 0 in the end so I got slaughtered. Actually my score may have been -1. lol After that I was like, I need to learn to use the mouse and after a little while, I was playing FPS the proper way.
Another thing I noticed is that gyro support is also on PC, when you disable SteamInput and use a DualShock or Switch controller. As for the PS4 version, I cannot confirm if that version has it. Anyways, apparently the PSX version of Quake II is going to be coming in an update. People really need to congratulate Nightdive on their remastering efforts. They're consistently above the rest.
Quake 2 may have been slightly forgotten these days by some but it definitely wasn’t underrated at that time- when I was in college literally anyone playing lan was playing quake 2 and quake 2 mods. From my experience it was absolutely the darling fan favorite celebrated game. At that time quake 1 was long forgotten and quake 2 multiplayer was THE REASON quake 3 didn’t even have an SP campaign. Quake 2 didn’t pioneer missions, it was a driving force champion of MP FPS.
along with this new console release that has all these new features, they put this huge update out on the Steam version AND made the game open source :D
Quake II is such an underrated game...it was the original innovator of online DM/CTF.
P.S. God do I miss GameSpy.

I will be downloading this on my Xbox when I get home tonight
Another thing I noticed is that gyro support is also on PC, when you disable SteamInput and use a DualShock or Switch controller. As for the PS4 version, I cannot confirm if that version has it.
Anyways, apparently the PSX version of Quake II is going to be coming in an update. People really need to congratulate Nightdive on their remastering efforts. They're consistently above the rest.
PS4/5 support gyro. PS5 also has 120fps support too!!
Quake 2 may have been slightly forgotten these days by some but it definitely wasn’t underrated at that time- when I was in college literally anyone playing lan was playing quake 2 and quake 2 mods. From my experience it was absolutely the darling fan favorite celebrated game. At that time quake 1 was long forgotten and quake 2 multiplayer was THE REASON quake 3 didn’t even have an SP campaign. Quake 2 didn’t pioneer missions, it was a driving force champion of MP FPS.
Playing it on Switch literally with this video on in the background.
Not sure if anyone posted it but it's also on Ps5 as well. I been playing on the N64 version having an good time.
I'm waiting for the physical. Same with Boltgun.
Cool, I've only played Quake 1 on N64. Part 2 will be new to me
along with this new console release that has all these new features, they put this huge update out on the Steam version AND made the game open source :D
i used to be part action quake community, anybody remember it? it was mod for quake 2 but it had own community
