This is wild. I was at the first QuakeCon, when it was called #quakecon and we were playing the Quake 1 test (aka Qtest).

Huh. If it's running on a new engine, do you think John Romero could remaster Daikatana on the new engine?
That would be a massive undertaking. Daikatana is almost "broken by design". Quake II simply needs new textures and RT
There's a lot more that went wrong with Daikatana than just a new engine.
The entire game was overhyped blandness. Just Romero throwing his name out there to get attention than letting the game speak for itself.
Awesome robot frogs in HD
I started playing Quake 1 for the first time a few weeks ago, and was surprised how much I enjoyed it. I'm looking forward to this remaster so I can give the second one a try
I'm probably some of the few that really didn't see what was so special about Quake II. I guess on a technological level, it's an improvement. But I didn't care for the change of environment and everything was leading towards another redundant aliens (if the Scrogg can even be called that) vs human army game.
I was hoping Quake 1 had gotten the RTX treatment and remaster.
Can’t wait!
