Det blev som vi rapporterade om imorse, under pågående Quakecon 2023 visade Id Softwares Marty Stratton samt Hugo Martin upp en uppdaterad version av Quake II som i samma ögonblick rullades ut till PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One samt Xbox Series S/X. Förutyom grundspelet innehåller Quake II: Remastered även expansionerna The Reckoning samt Ground Zero, co-op samt multiplayer och alla versioner stödjer crossplay.
Enhanced Gameplay
The gameplay in Quake II has been shined to a polish to improve the feel of the game while keeping the original spirit intact. Weapon fire from players and enemies now have muzzle flashes to improve feedback and new damage indicators to better communicate to players where they are taking damage from. An increased tick rate ensures action is more responsive and hundreds of level and gameplay bugs have been fixed.
Upgraded AI
The forces of Stroggos are deadlier than ever with improved pathing, new attacks and new tactics. Enemies will hit the dirt to dodge shots and jump down off ledges to get a better angle, making enemy encounters more dynamic. Flying AI has been rebuilt to allow for better and more realistic navigation through the air. Watch out for the Berzerker's new leap attack, restored from the game's original development, and dodge Parasite tongue lashings which will now stick into the wall, temporarily stunning them.
Improved Lighting, Shadows & Models
Levels have been enhanced with improved lighting, along with updated weapon and enemy models. Dynamic shadows and lighting have been added to levels and weapon effects. New glow maps make computer terminals, power cores and other illuminated surfaces pop. These graphics settings and more can be customized through the in-game menus.
Includes Both Original Expansion Packs
This release of Quake II includes the original expansion packs, The Reckoning, and Ground Zero. All the AI enhancements from Ground Zero are now available in all episodes. Additionally, for the first time, Quake II 64 has been ported over, making this exclusive episode available in high resolution and high framerate with modern controls.
Brand New Episode: Call of the Machine
