  Totally!
  By thumbnails I would have guessed moded Q2 engine (idTech2, so kinda HL1)

  Then again Q1 & Q2 have been rereleased in the recent years (with Doom 3 like lighting & modern Doom-like extra campaigns … I’m just playing these extra maps now bcs I’m less weirded out by what they did or maybe bcs I’ve forgotten about it for a few years).

  I’m still glad Quake 1 got so many amazing mods throughout the years (eg of HL1 I only remember They Hunger for some reason).

    This is running in an older source engine, not q1

    I remember hearing about They Hunger. I mean to try it out but never got around to it

      Honestly, they prob are still hungering, pretty perpetually hungry bunch of folk iirc.

  The video I was shown was showing off “how old the engine is yet it still looks great”, much more of a “Let’s see how far we can push this thing” experiment. It’s really cool to see. I recommend trying it

    Thanks for this comment and your post. It does seem very cool. I haven’t used the engine they recommend and I’m wondering what new features it has that makes it required to not have issues. I’ll try to check it out this weekend.

      Is the rerelease worth playing or should I put in work to play the OG one? I don’t know if it’s like a Halo anniversary situation or not

        The rerelease on steam is probably the right route. You meant that one right? It is basically just like the original but with some minor and welcome improvements. I would suggest turning off the accessibility features though, unless you need them.

  As some one who played it for years (and unreal) I didn’t recognize it either. Looks cool, not my quake :D
