We'll get there some day, I suppose. Maybe I even do a secondary (and more proper) playthrough of... That other version of REKKR that I guess now is off-topic now due to being a commercial release? This is pretty confusing (would make sense though), but I am stupid.

Decent starting point for getting into Quake, much like latest official DOOM ports. You still have all that older stuff in Steam install, so you can easily switch to any source port later on if you wish to change things up or anything like that.

Oh, I forgot about that shit. Probably because it's a beaten horse by now. Sorry.

Thanks, and that's gonna be the last one for me since it's already 5th for me.
Again, I really appreciate all kind words from you bastards. Love lurking in this threads. Perhaps one day I stop procrastinating and actually contribute to it in some way.

I thought you were supposed to take it on the way in.

>i heard there was a remaster to quake 1, but i dont see quake remastered on the steam store :/
Yeah, it's because Quake got a re-release instead that was added into the old package on Steam.

Anyway, I wonder what people here can say about level design/maps in these games:
>Quake (Including both Mission Packs).
>Both Hexen titles (Including their Expansion Packs).
>Daikatana.
What're your favorite maps from these games? What makes them work? Is there just a moment that might be not so great, but you still see its neat potential?
Of course, nothing stops you from bringing back any other game related to the thread. I'm just curious about these specific examples as I've tried to think about it a last couple of days... despite never playing Daikatana and DotDC + getting only through ~40% of Hexen 2 (Right now I'm at Thysis, damn it).

I was pretty cool with that remaster, but now I'm actually feeling excited

That makes me think, how long since the release of Quake did the full utilization of the mouse and keyboard become part of the PC FPS norm? Cus I know that by default Quake also had the arrow keys bound for forward, backward, and turning left and right just like Doom 1 & 2. So clearly despite of the fact that Quake was designed around using the mouse and keyboard (along with WASD for that matter, if I'm correct), Id did have the foresight to have the arrow keys for looking and movement as well, in case there were players that were still used to Doom's controls (which I'd imagine there were plenty of).

On a side note, it's clearly not retro, but I also remember some Call of Duty games had the option to turn off freelook for some reason on PC. I forget when it was dropped, but the last entries I remember having it were MW2, 3 and Blops 1 I think.

Quake is superior in every way. Doombabies need a reality check.

Happy 23rd birthday Quake!
