#Quake 1 Remastered

Man the steam deck is the best thing to happen to PC gaming in a long time.

I don't even have one, but the extra controller and Linux support alone makes everything great.

My Favorite Games of 2023.

Hi. Hello. Thanks ever so much for clicking on this page. Happy to have you.

First thing's first: I'm a little freak when it comes to video games. I don't feel the need to beat most games I play. From Software is one of my favorite studios in the industry and I've never finished a single one of their games. This means, fortunately, that I get to play a LOT more games than the average bear.

I've written up some blurbs about my top ten favorite games from 2023, but before that here's the list of every game I remember playing this year that left any sort of lasting impact on me (in no particular order):

Dead Space Remake Resident Evil 4 Remake F-Zero 99 Humanity Dredge Metroid Prime Remastered Anemoiaplois Alan Wake 2 Baldur’s Gate 3 LoZ Tears of the Kingdom Counter Strike 2 Hunt Showdown El Paso Elsewhere Jusant Slay the Princess| Remnant II The Finals Street FIghter 6 Lethal Company BattleBit Remastered Don’t Scream Homebody The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog Pizza Tower World of Horror Super Mario Wonder Mr. Sun’s Hatbox Fifa 23 Sea of Stars (Demo) Half-Life (25th Anniversary Update)

And the games I played that were NOT released in 2023:

Unpacking Persona 4 Golden Picross 7 The Order 1886 Shovel Knight Dig Lost Planet: Extreme Condition Spider-Man: Miles Morales Pac-Man Championship Edition DX Project Zomboid Quake LoZ The Minish Cap Drill Dozer Wario Land 4 Pokemon Pinball Resident Evil Revelations Summer of ‘58 Trackmania TwinCop We Were Here Visage Cursed Halo CE Half-Life 2 (I probably play this once per year) Witch Hunt Red Dead Redemption 2 Cyberpunk 2077 Borderlands 3 Brutal Legend Cultic Slay the Spire PUBG Rez Infinite Batman Arkham City Alan Wake Alan Wake: American Nightmare Max Payne LoZ: Majora’s Mask 3DS Metroid Prime Metroid Prime 2 Tunic Everhood Final Fantasy VII Final Fantasy VII Remake GOODBYE WORLD Yakuza: Like a Dragon Critters for Sale Dome Keeper Phasmophobia Hades Nintendo Switch Sports

Now that you understand the kind of freak you're dealing with…

Let's dive into my top ten favorite games from this objectively fucked up year.

10. El Paso Elsewhere Developed by Texas indie studio Strange Scaffold, El Paso Elsewhere is a Max Payne-clone with vampires, an opinionated narrator, and lots and lots of bullet time. As a small studio punching well above their weight class, Strange Scaffold leans into abstract, PlayStation 1 minimalism when it comes to visuals and pairs them with a soundtrack that will make your hands sweat. The vibes are here and they're ready for the end of the world. I'm personally also a big fan of everything this studio stands for.

9. Mr. Sun's Hatbox I want you to imagine Metal Gear Solid V. Now I want you to imagine that game as a 2D, level-based, slapstick platformer you can play with up to three friends. If you think that sounds stupid, you'd be right. And it's beautiful. As you build up a secret army of soldiers with various skills (and disorders), you'll start to develop *favorites*. This game constantly asks if you're willing to send those favorites on a harrowing mission and risk losing them forever… or if you'd rather send an idiot you recently captured who blinks constantly and can't kill anyone without fainting.

8. Dredge Every year I feel like I find one game that falls into the “just one more round” category, and baby… Dredge was it for 2023. As a weary fisherman in strange waters, you'll make the most out of your 12 measly hours of sunlight only for your daily voyages to inevitably pull you into the darkness of night, and night is when things get weird. Rocks emerge from the fog that you swear weren't there before, your equipment malfunctions, and you're pretty sure you just saw something in the water… something big. Despite only containing a small collection of islands, the world of Dredge manages to feel vast - perhaps vast enough to swallow you whole.

7. Resident Evil 4 Remake I was curious to see what sort of changes would be made to the timeless classic and father of modern 3rd person shooters, Resident Evil 4. I wasn't let down. RE4 Remake takes all the things that didn't age well about the original, tossed them out, and replaced them with only good things. And MORE things! It's campy, fun, and better than a game of bingo.

6. Jusant I really feel like this one didn't get the recognition it deserves. Jusant is a rock climbing game that combines the quiet contemplation of Journey with the mechanical specificity of Death Stranding. Unlike Death Standing, though, there is very little story to interrupt your flow. There are plenty of collectible bits to find for those curious to learn more about what happened before the events of the game, but the environmental storytelling does most of the heavy lifting. For me, the joy of the game comes from how it feels. Right trigger controls your right hand grip, and left trigger controls left hand grip. Plan your route, manage your stamina, and climb high above the clouds in search of answers.

5. F-Zero 99 This. Shit. Slaps. I've never been a big F-Zero guy, but this MADE me one. The “battle royale”, 99 player format is the perfect fit for the ruthless, high octane world of the game. Races last about three minutes, and friend, they are the most intense, white-knuckled three minutes of your life. The decision to make your boost meter the same as your health meter started in F-Zero 64 (I believe), and it is so much more HARROWING in this game when another player could side-swipe you mere meters from the finish line and blow you to bits. Sadly it's only playable via Switch Online, but it made me cheer, laugh, and scream enough this year to earn a spot in my top 5.

4. Alan Wake 2 Remedy makes weird games that also manage to exist in the AAA space and for that I will forever love them. Although Alan Wake 2 resembles a 3rd person shooter survival horror, I'd honestly say it's more of a narrative game than anything else. There's sidequests, there's puzzles, there's upgradeable skills, but at the end of the day the characters, world, and story are what kept me playing. If you haven't checked them out recently, you should definitely watch a story recap of the original games before diving into this sequel, but the wild swings for the fences this game takes are well worth that small price of admission. There's a god damn musical number, for Christ's sake.

3. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom I've really got nothing to say about this game that most people don't already know. It's incredible. The fact that Nintendo made a game that redefined an entire genre and then made a SEQUEL to it that ups the ante is remarkable. To be honest, I've only cleared the Rito, Zora, and Goron cities. I got a bit tired of exploring the depths and guiding Koroks to their friends, but I can't deny the sheer level of complexity and polish on display here. I saw someone on TikTok build a functioning Mecha Godzilla in this game. Good God. I've heard that the ending of this game is one of the best in the franchise, and if I'd seen it this year then it may have wound up higher on my list, but for the time being I'll continue picking up this masterpiece from time to time, chipping away at it until the day comes that I can finally smack the tits off thicc Ganondorf.

2. Half-Life (25th Anniversary Update) I know I'm gonna get shit for this, but I don't care. This year was the 25th anniversary of Half-Life and Valve released an update that made playing it (and it's online Death Match) much more accessible. I threw it on my Steam Deck out of curiosity, expecting to play for 20 minutes. I could not put it down. It is unbelievable how modern this game still feels. I simply had so much fun sprinting through the corridors of Black Mesa with a dozen weapons strapped to my back, blasting aliens and military Spec-Op chumps as a 24(?!) year old theoretical physicist.

1. Baldur's Gate III This game is fucked up, man. The sheer amount of writing in this game scares me. We can all talk about how BIG this game is, it deserves it, but the thing BG3 does better than any other role playing game I have ever experienced is actually encourage roleplaying. I've played through Act I four times now, with four different groups of friends, and it has felt fresh every time. I have seen the same events play out in so many different ways that it boggles the mind, but in every one of those play sessions I see players asking themselves “What would my lil guy do here?” rather than "what is the best thing to do here?" The game rewards players constantly for just trying shit and the D&D 5e rule set means playing like the character you said you were from the start leads to frequent Points of Inspiration. Maybe one day I'll see the end of this story (probably not), but I don't have to in order to feel a connection with BG3's world, characters, and most impressively, the characters I made myself.

[askseriousrainbow]

Here we go, top 10!

10. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Previous Rank: 29 (Available on: Steam) Ah, Vice City. One of the greatest GTA games with a killer soundtrack and a great story, regardless of how you play it... though do try to get the original version, the Definitive Edition is alright, but some people may not like its changes.

9. Quake Previous Rank: 11 (Available on: Steam, GOG) Quake was my first ever first-person shooter, and it's still fun today, especially with that Nightdive remaster. It's quite brown (and blue) but it helps the atmosphere of the game, and Trent Reznor's soundtrack works in the world of Quake.

8. Undertale Previous Rank: 10 (Available on: Steam, GOG) Undertale is still a classic, you guys know this. If you've never played it... Mercy is always an option, and that's all I'm going to say on that. And if you're wondering why Deltarune's not on the list, it's because all we have are episodes 1 and 2 and I'd really like to have more before I add it to the list.

7. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas Previous Rank: 23 (Available on: Steam) San Andreas was the first GTA I ever 100%-ed. It's a great adventure, and just a great time. Again, try to get the original version, but the Definitive Edition is alright.

6. RollerCoaster Tycoon Previous Rank: 8 (Available on: Steam, GOG) RollerCoaster Tycoon is one of the most accessible and enjoyable theme park sims, even more than Theme Park, which didn't make the cut this time. RCT is as close to perfect as you can get for a theme park sim.

5. Fallout: New Vegas Previous Rank: 4 (Available on: Steam, GOG) Still my favorite of the Bethesda-styled Fallout games, I gotta say. I don't play it as much right now, but I do go back on occasion.

4. DOOM II: Hell on Earth Previous Rank: 5 (Available on: Steam, GOG) This game is almost perfect, but a few of the maps and enemies can be annoying. It's what most people think of when they think “Classic DOOM.”

3. Saints Row 2 Previous Rank: 3 (Available on: Steam, GOG) Still the top dog of the Saints Row series. I'm sad that the PC patch got scuttlebutted when Volition shut down, but it's still a great time.

2. Mass Effect: Legendary Edition Previous Rank: 12 (Available on: Steam, EA) Mass Effect: Legendary Edition is the definitive way to play the original trilogy, and I love it. Definitely get it if you like third person shooters with RPG elements. It's gone up a few spots, mainly because of the fixes EA did.

1. You Don't Know Jack Volume 4: The Ride Previous Rank: 1 (Available on: Steam, Jackbox) You saw this coming. It's my favorite game of all time. It's like Clint from LGR with Duke Nukem 3D. This should not come as a surprise.

And with that this top 100 comes to a close. Thanks for indulging me!

I really hope Id remasters Quake III (and maybe IV?) for their respective anniversaries like what they did with I and II.

Same with Doom 3, like yeah BFG Edition exists, but imagine a proper "enhanced" version of the original Doom 3, without any modifications to the lighting and also without the weird, partially-censored ports of Doom 1 and 2 that remove one of the most interesting enemies in the entire franchise and maybe also higher-res alternate models like what the Quake remasters got.

[sometipsygnostalgic]

I've been playing lots of QUAKE 1 Remastered on steamdeck. The game is fun on deck, looks great. I can also hook it up to the crt for a more classic experience (...though the tv is no doubt lower resolution than monitors were even in 1996).

I think the soundtrack by Trent Reznor was a great choice. Certainly much better to listen to than classic DOOM.

Talking of...

I've also been playing DOOM 2 With Raytracing. It's a gzdoom mod that basically replaces the map with a 3d render, all enemies are 3d but look 2d because they're in this sort of block style.

Doom 2 as a game starts off a bit rougher than Doom 1, but I think the game becomes interesting. I'm only in the first "episode" but I already think that the mid chapters of ep 1 are more interesting than what Quake has offered in the 4 episodes I've played.

Quake's physics are monumentally important to how games play today. It still holds up.

I do think DOOM is more creative and fun with its enemy designs and mission designs. Because in Quake, I don't remember any specific enemy encounter... but in DOOM, I just finished a level that was like a Takeshi's Castle of enemy encounters. One room had 15 Cacodemons, one room had 25 Imps, one room was like "fuck you here's 17 Hell Knights and a Cyberdemon but you have the lion's share of immortality spheres". It made me keep playing even though the game is so much worse mechanically. You just don't get that in Quake.

Hey that Quake 2 Remaster is nice

I never loved Quake 2. I didn't have a truly gaming-capable PC until 2003 or 2004, and even then, "gaming capable" meant it could run the NOLF demo on the lowest settings. Then again, maybe Lithtech isn't the best measuring stick.

But it was on that old Sony Vaio that I finally started really playing PC games. And my first priority there was Half-Life, which I played absolutely to death and back. It wasn't until three or even four years later that I even remembered there was a Quake 2, and compared to Half-Life, it felt deeply antiquated.

It felt like a game trying to do everything Half-Life was doing, but still clinging to its roots as the progenitor of Doom's instant action. Those two flavors, at least as far as iD Software mixed them together, were more sour than sweet to me. Modern attempts at designing a living world and a robust story were unable to shake traditional first person shooter cobwebs.

A couple years ago, I think after watching Civvie's video on Quake 2, I made an effort to give the game a second shot through Q2Pro. Though my reception was warmer, I still did not come away feeling especially positive on the game. I'm the kind of guy who was already pretty harsh on Quake 1 for just being "More Doom" and Quake 2 is just More More Doom, but now with extra boring "what if Starship Troopers was about cybernetic horror instead of bugs" art direction.

This Quake 2 Remaster they just put out, though? I'm surprised at how much I'm enjoying the game. Between the enhanced visuals, gameplay tweaks, and improved enemy AI, the game... doesn't feel brand new. It still feels like Quake 2. But it's like somebody went around and tightened all the loose bolts.

Doom 2016 weapon wheels make managing guns (and inventory power-ups!) a breeze. A brand new (and optional) compass makes sure you don't get lost in levels that could take upwards of 40 minutes to finish. Monsters are significantly more mobile and willing to chase you down. And new cutscenes between levels (and better UI during levels themselves) help fill out the struggling narrative a little bit more, putting greater focus on what it is you're doing.

It is, unquestionably, a better version of this game. I can't imagine ever going back to the original Quake 2 now.

Also, shoutouts to the fact that this is two for two that iD Software has said "If you own these games on Steam, you automatically get the remasters for free."

i demand justice for quake shambler. my guy only got to be in quake 1 and a random bonus mission pack in the remaster of quake 2. this is ridiculous and i will not stand for it

Quake II - Call of the Machine (2023)

Another Quake remaster, another MachineGames campaign created for it. I'll confess, I didn't like their Quake 1 campaign Dimension of the Machine as much as everyone else seemed to. I dunno, I was sorta burned-out on Quake at the time and should replay it in the near future.

Anywho, I went into Call of the Machine with trepidation; very much starting to think MachineGames' best output would be forever consigned to the Wolfenstein reboot and that would be it. But hey, I loves me some Quake II, so why not?

Anyway it's fucking fantastic, I'm not waiting til the end of the review to drop that bombshell.

Call plays out similarly to Dimension's progression system; a main hub of six mini-episodes that can all be beaten in any order the player chooses (although I heartily recommend left-to-right, as was recommended to me vicariously through discussion on DOOMworld's forums) before a final encounter can be accessed and then the campaign beaten.

Being playable in any order pretty much means there is a discrete difficulty curve for each one, although they all get rough. Combat is the primary focus throughout, almost in contrary to the other campaigns available on the 2023 remaster, and it takes a while to get accustomed to the flavour of things. In fact, I'd personally say the mapping has more the cadence and encounter design of modern DOOM community efforts more than the original '90s campaigns.

They've all got boss encounters, too -- although their nature vary from "reused Quake II enemy with maybe new attacks" to "giant version of a regular enemy", but they're fine. They're okay. There is an exception or two to this, but I ain't spoiling. Play the damn campaign.

It looks amazing, too. MachineGames' prior work with the original Quake had a astronomical level of polish which is dwarfed by what's on offer here for the sequel. I'm not even kidding, Call of the Machine is downright beautiful in places - an absolute joy to behold, in terms of form and function, colour and composition, spectacle and setpiece, stick your own alliterative pair of superlatives in here if you wish. It is.

Speaking of superlatives, I feel like I should balance this review a little with some negatives? Well, here goes. The music, which is all pulled from the remaster's pool of base game plus mission packs plus Quake II 64 for a few ambient tracks, is occasionally used in the most embarrassingly-cheesy way; a script will change the BGM mid-level to announce the arrival of a boss or wave-based combat encounter and it's almost funny sometimes. Also the ending's a bit, well, unsatisfying? I guess, but given the plot of the expansion it has to be what it is. Look, I tried.

Call of the Machine is an essential playthrough for fans of the singleplayer Quake games. That's the word. 5/5

[lance-arts]

"THE DOPAMINE OF ELDER GODS COURSES THROUGH MY MIND"

The Quake II Remaster is miles better than the original release in ways I didn't think of before, and even better than the Quake 1 Remaster in terms of netcode and features.

I was playing multiplayer deathmatch with my goofy ahh pals and I found my shots connecting way more accurately compared to Quake 1, where due to playing with people from across the pond, I had to lead my shots constantly, even with hitscan weapons. Quake II thankfully didn't have this problem. Impressive!

I'm hoping Nightdive will update the Quake 1 Remaster with the same netcode wizardry they implemented into freshly released Q2R, along with that neato navigator function that's really great for new players trying to find the way forward.

All that aside, to celebrate the release, here's my OC Michelle Aquastone under the effects of

Mengapa Game Online Retro Kembali Populer di Era Modern?

Mengapa Game Online Retro Kembali Populer di Era Modern?

Di era modern yang penuh dengan game berteknologi tinggi dan grafis realistis, banyak gamer justru kembali mencari game online retro. Padahal, game-game lama ini memiliki grafis pixelated, mekanisme sederhana, dan terkadang kontrol yang kurang responsif dibandingkan game masa kini. Lantas, mengapa game online retro kembali populer? Apa yang membuatnya tetap menarik di tengah dominasi game modern? Mari kita bahas lebih dalam.

1. Nostalgia: Kembali ke Masa Kejayaan Gaming

Salah satu alasan utama game online retro kembali populer adalah nostalgia. Banyak gamer yang dulu tumbuh besar dengan game seperti Ragnarok Online, MapleStory, atau Ultima Online ingin kembali mengenang masa-masa mereka bermain dengan teman-teman di warnet atau di rumah.

🔹 Contoh game retro yang kembali populer:

Ragnarok Origin (versi mobile dari Ragnarok Online)

MapleStory yang masih bertahan dengan pembaruan konten

Old School RuneScape yang menawarkan pengalaman klasik dengan fitur modern

Game retro juga memberikan pengalaman lebih sederhana dan menyenangkan, berbeda dengan game modern yang sering kali dipenuhi dengan mekanisme rumit dan monetisasi berlebihan.

2. Gameplay yang Sederhana, tapi Menyenangkan

Game modern sering kali memiliki mekanisme yang kompleks, membutuhkan waktu lama untuk belajar, serta penuh dengan fitur tambahan seperti microtransaction, battle pass, dan loot box. Sebaliknya, game online retro lebih fokus pada gameplay inti yang mudah dipahami dan langsung seru dimainkan.

🔹 Contoh game dengan gameplay simpel tapi tetap seru:

Tibia → MMORPG klasik dengan grafik sederhana tapi komunitas loyal.

Quake III Arena → FPS online dengan aksi cepat dan murni skill-based.

Gunbound → Game strategi berbasis giliran dengan karakter unik.

Kesederhanaan inilah yang membuat banyak pemain lebih memilih game online retro dibandingkan game modern yang terkadang terasa membebani.

3. Komunitas yang Lebih Solid dan Tidak Toxic

Di banyak game online modern, komunitasnya sering kali dipenuhi oleh pemain toxic, apalagi di game-game kompetitif. Sebaliknya, game online retro biasanya memiliki komunitas yang lebih ramah dan solid karena mayoritas pemainnya sudah bermain selama bertahun-tahun.

🔹 Kelebihan komunitas game retro: ✅ Lebih banyak pemain yang fokus pada kesenangan, bukan sekadar menang. ✅ Banyak veteran yang mau membantu pemain baru. ✅ Event komunitas yang lebih seru, seperti turnamen klasik atau role-playing.

Game seperti Old School RuneScape dan Ragnarok Online masih memiliki komunitas yang sangat aktif hingga saat ini, meskipun sudah berusia lebih dari 20 tahun!

4. Tren Pixel Art dan Indie Games yang Terinspirasi dari Retro

Grafik pixelated yang dulu dianggap kuno kini justru menjadi tren, terutama di kalangan game indie. Banyak game modern yang sengaja menggunakan gaya pixel art atau 2D klasik untuk memberikan nuansa nostalgia.

🔹 Contoh game baru dengan gaya retro:

Stardew Valley → Game pertanian online yang mirip dengan Harvest Moon klasik.

Terraria → Mirip Minecraft, tapi dengan gaya 2D klasik.

Shovel Knight → Game aksi platformer dengan sentuhan Mega Man.

Banyak game indie ini sukses menarik perhatian pemain lama maupun baru, membuktikan bahwa gaya retro masih memiliki daya tarik kuat di era modern.

5. Kebangkitan Server Privat dan Remake dari Developer Resmi

Banyak game online retro yang seharusnya sudah mati kini hidup kembali berkat server privat dan remake resmi dari pengembangnya.

🔹 Contoh remake game retro yang sukses:

World of Warcraft Classic → Blizzard merilis ulang versi lama setelah permintaan dari komunitas.

Diablo II: Resurrected → Remaster dari game legendaris dengan peningkatan grafis.

Tibia Retro Servers → Kembali ke gameplay klasik tanpa fitur modern.

Selain itu, server privat untuk game-game lawas seperti Ragnarok Online dan MU Online juga semakin berkembang, menawarkan pengalaman orisinal tanpa embel-embel monetisasi agresif seperti di versi modernnya.

Kesimpulan: Game Online Retro Masih Punya Tempat di Hati Gamer

Meski dunia gaming terus berkembang, game online retro tetap memiliki daya tarik tersendiri yang membuatnya kembali populer.

✅ Nostalgia membawa pemain lama kembali ke masa kejayaan gaming. ✅ Gameplay simpel dan seru tanpa perlu belajar mekanisme rumit. ✅ Komunitas yang lebih solid dan ramah dibanding game modern. ✅ Tren pixel art dan game indie menghidupkan kembali gaya klasik. ✅ Server privat dan remake resmi membantu mempertahankan popularitas game lama.

Jadi, apakah kamu termasuk yang masih menikmati game online terbaik dari era retro? Atau justru baru tertarik untuk mencobanya? 🎮🔥

Thoughts on the Microsoft Developer Direct?

Honestly I didn't even know it was happening. I feel like Microsoft is really slipping at getting the word out and being a "presence" anymore.

I guess that's where that Indiana Jones and the Great Circle trailer came from, which I did watch. I said this among a few different discords but I feel like caring about an Indiana Jones game these days feels like a trap...

...until I saw the MachineGames logo. Those are the folks who have been handling the Wolfenstein franchise for iD Software, as well as having crafted some truly great Quake 1 and Quake 2 expansion campaigns for those respective HD remasters.

Seeing as this game is also first person, I'm basically expecting it to be Wolfenstein, but more of a pulpy adventure story and less, I dunno, bleak? Less science-fiction-y? Indiana Jones strikes me as something that will be brighter, more fun, more like a theme park thrill ride sort of thing instead of a more gritty "let's explore an alternate history where nazis won and america fell" like you got in those Wolfenstein games.

I'm very interested.

Skimming the other announcements at the Xbox Direct... eh.

Avowed looks kind of slow

We're like six trailers deep on Hellblade 2 and I never even touched the first one so I'm pretty checked out

A new Mana game is cool and it's nice to see Japanese developers on an Xbox presentation but I've also never touched any of the other Mana games outside of an hour in Secret of Mana SNES more than a decade ago

I'm not big on strategy games so I generally do not care about Ara. But it's nice to see Civ get some competition again, I guess.
