Quake Enhanced Edition

[Wunderbar]

They missed an opportunity to add some new weapons and enemies into their new maps. Especially Horde mode could benefit from expanded bestiary (similar to Quoth).

A bit silly to complain about new content that you don't actually have to play. A number of recent boomer shooters also have horde modes, so it became something of a standard for the genre.

The hell kind of tard logic is this?

 

[Generic-Giant-Spider]

Sometimes I play Doom/Doom 2/Quake 1 and for those ten hours I actually feel joy.

I played few missions with this texture pack and I think it looks fine:

That is a texture modification done in really good taste, for once. Respects the original art and does not overdo anything.

I hope they let MachineGames make the next Quake. They clearly know what they are doing.

I think the textures are the originals, just improved by AI.

Pretty sure if it was done "just by AI" there would be a bunch of artifacts left. Initial pass is done by AI and from there textures are fixed up by hand. You can't make these things with AI alone. Unless you are making GTA Definitive Edition.

Reinstalled to play the new xmas map jam and tried the survival / horde mode along with it. It's a load of fun, there's only 4 maps but it's survival so it's fine. Scripted 5-second quad and invuln drops from enemies, gradual unlocking of new areas and weapons on the maps, had a lot of fun, will play more.

UNDERDARK OVERBRIGHT & COPPER

Speaking of the original Quake, also included in this Add-on is Copper - a modification that slightly alters Quake’s gameplay! With adjusted behaviors for items, monsters and weaponry, Copper’s quality-of-life changes offer a new take on your next trip through the Slipgate.

HONEY

What's the Codex take on Copper, is it pure autism or does it actually make the game more interesting to play?

 

[ciox]

I dunno, it feels like a giant load of baggage for such a simple game.
Just look at the list of changes (it's a dozen pages or something?) and make up your own mind.

Will this EVER hit GOG?

 

[Curratum]

Copper is simultaneously pointless and overdone.

 

[Wunderbar]

What's the Codex take on Copper, is it pure autism or does it actually make the game more interesting to play?

neither, really. Copper just fixes some of the smaller issues (like nerfing Spawns) and adds a bunch of AI and balance tweaks that aren't immediately noticeable.

Copper is worth it for two fixes alone - enabling shoot-through and reducing voreball turn-rate. The former in particular makes a *huge* positive gameplay difference. Its also pretty light

I played Underdark Overbright on Quake Copper, it's easily on the level of Arcane Dimensions (which is a 10/10 pack). So I dont think anything comes close to UO/AD

Some screens from my last copper run:

There was one map in UD (which requires Copper) which literally has blobber-like puzzles in the style of Eye of the Beholder and Grimrock

fuq dat, i want hitscan vores

I see that you "disagree" with the objective fact that the mod changes a ton of things that aren't mentioned in the official summary or in quick summaries like yours.

You have one or two interesting bugfixes and then a dozen pages of debatable balance changes, that's just how it is.
Trying to push this type of mod as some kind of official and essential experience is just weird, though not unheard of these days.

Whatever visual mod it is that makes your weapons look longer...

I thought the Quake rocket launcher looked phallic before, but damn. Shooting rockets straight outta your dick for real

 

[Wunderbar]

Whatever visual mod it is that makes your weapons look longer...

overly high FOV

 

[luj1]

yeah old habit from LAN days

 

[Morenatsu.]

fovfags must die

 

[JarlFrank]

I usually keep my FOV at 90.
