Bethesda had one of the worst kept secrets of all with the remastering of Quake. It is already official. Quake it’s back, and it’s available right now on PC and consoles. It even includes crossplay and a new free expansion.
As had been speculated, the news broke during the first day of events of the QuakeCon, but Quake appeared in the store Microsoft shortly before the announcement. The revolutionary shooter of id Software will now have improved models, graphics and lighting and will be compatible with 4K resolution. It will offer new and veteran players a much improved experience.
In addition, the iconic multiplayer of Quake will be available locally with four players and online with eight, and will allow cross play between consoles and PC. Even the original soundtrack from Trent reznor has finally escaped from licensing hell to bring back nostalgia to gamers’ ears once again.
The remake includes all its expansions. But MachineGames It has also added new free content to celebrate the remastering of the game. Included is the 20th anniversary expansion titled Dimension of the past and the new pack Dimension of the machine. The entire campaign can be played cooperatively with friends online or locally, allowing you to enjoy a fun piece of the past. Lastly, the enhanced version will have support for mods with a list of fan and developer add-ons that includes all of the old missions from Quake 64.
Among the technical improvements that integrates Quake Remastered
- Large format screen support (many resolutions available).
- Enhanced lighting through mapping.
- Character and object modeling improvements.
- Edge smoothing.
- Dynamic shadows.
- Ambient occlusion.
- Shallow depth of field
- Fog.
Specifications to move it on PC
- Windows 10 as the operating system.
- 1080p screen resolution and 60 Hz refresh rate.
- Intel Core i5-3570 or Ryzen 3 1300X processor.
- 8 GB of RAM.
- GTX 650 Ti or AMD Radeon HD 7750 graphics card with 1 GB of graphics memory.
- 2 GB of free space.
Ultimately, the remastering may not be exactly what fans expected in terms of a new game or a remake. The integration of modern consoles and the inclusion of new content broadens the radar to a new audience while remaining linked to veterans. Quake It is available now on all platforms for $ 9.99, but if you have the original on PC, you will receive the update for free.
