I have not played the update yet, but I'm heavily guessing that must refer to the player orientation in split-screen mode.

Oh this is a very nice refresh I have to say. And as amazing as it is that the original still ran pretty well on modern systems, the upgrades are very welcome.
The old version was still based on GLQuake and still had that washed out look and some of the limitations that came with that version 25 years ago (different water effects, etc). It seems like they were thoughtful and focused more on improving image quality and fluidity rather than doing stuff that would seriously change the look (like adding new textures or normal/bump maps, that kind of thing).
There are a LOT of changes, not all of which are mentioned in the marketing. Here's what I've spotted:
Interpolated animation -- characters animate smoothly like Quake II
Dynamic lighting -- moving light sources create dynamic shadows
SSAO
Cinematic motion blur
Anti-aliasing
Widescreen
Colored lighting
Correct colors/gamma
Toggle texture filtering on and off
New water effect more similar to the original software renderer.
Improved character models (think: Quake III quality, still retro-looking)
All expansions integrated
Support for downloadable content/mods similar to recent Doom releases -- includes Quake 64 as the first free DLC
There's also a new episode, which seems short but pushes the engine harder than the original could and has some cool ideas, albeit obnoxiously hard like a lot of these things tend to be.

Said no one ever.
I really like the motion blur too, it's the good "cinematic" kind that just gives it a kind of shot on film look but isn't overbearing. It's off by default, of course.Dude check it out. It's super high quality and adds motion to flying grenades and nails. At least on oled at 120hz. And yes - 120hz is still not high enough to totally not use motion blur... When I had 240hz monitor and games running at 240hz.... then I felt there are enough frames to disable "good" motion blur
Maybe it looks like shit on lcd, I don't know

This is fantastic, so happy tohave this today. Setting the FOV in these games always makes me feel slightly sick, it really exaggerates the feeling of horizontal movement for me.
I haven't played Quake for absolutely years and I've never actually played Quake 64 but I was a big fan of both PS1 Doom and N64 Doom and they were both different enough to the original games to be well worth playing if you on;y know the PC versions.
For some reason the music seems stupidly quiet in the PS4 version, I've set Music to 10 and Sound to 3 to balance it out.

Releasing 1 orc2 years late after Xbox and then charging 70$ from PS fanboys is smart strategy

For real. This thread was already derailed enough. Y'all can go have your verbal slap fight about what plastic box is better in another thread that follows that topic better.

Try disabling aim assist and increase sensitivity to 10. It improved a bit for me.
That being said yes the port has issues: I'm getting microfreezes (complete with sound skipping) on Xbox One every few steps.

On steam my resolution settings is high medium low. What do I pick for 1440p? Did I choose the wrong edition or something?

Just finished Episode 1. It’s the release of the year next to Returnal IMO. They really don’t make them like they used to. The level design is timeless in its complexity. But why is the music so low on the mix? They need to patch that quick. I have the music at 10 and sound at 7 but it’s still too low. I need Reznor in my veins louder!

What a lovely surprise. Playing with unfiltered textures after all these years i amazing.
What's the word on Quake 2? They added it to the Microsoft store today but it isn't remastered?

Anyone having any weird issues on PC? When I initially booted it up all environments were black. Quit out of it and the next time it closed randomly when I selected new game. Next time it seemed to be working. Booted it up again and it closed on me on the title screen.
Never had any issues like this before in any other game.

Nightdive has done the porting work, and Machinegames has supplied new art and levels.

Fuck that. Kof 15 looks hype. Honestly I'd prefer the base gameplay of a 98 rather then max combos like 2002um or 13. But 15 has a good look and looks like it plays well. Kof 14 played well too.

I'm gonna play the shit out of it, I didn't grew up with Quake sadly when I was young I wanted the Saturn port so bad, didn't had a PC a the time and when I finally do, Quake 2 was out, didn't wanted to buy the original after that, finally years later I bought the N64 port, had a blast playing it, now it's time to finally revisit the game while having the Nine inch nails OST banging!

This is so much easier to control using motion controls on the PS5.
Believe me, I'm really surprised I'm saying that but it only took a few minutes to get the hang of it, I use the two sticks as normal and the motion controls just and another level of finesse to aiming. It's so much easier to stay on target when you and your target are both moving at full speed.
I really hope that they manage to either remove or at least improve the filter they're using in Quake 64.

They say a remaster should look like how you remember a game looking, not how it actually looked and that really applies here. Going back and playing the original (still included on PC) is pretty night and day. There are a lot of little changes that add up to a lot, but none of them get in the way of the general "look and feel". Even the remade enemy and weapon models keep the retro aesthetic and copy the art style close enough that you might not even think about them at first, even though they look much better side by side. It's a very thoughtful remaster.
It's the total opposite from Quake II RTX which is reworked to the point of being barely recognizable. Which is cool in its own right but it doesn't feel like a definitive version.

I have Quake 1 on my n64 at home. With a crt.
They 100% nailed the look imo
I'm as annoyed that quake 2 isn't another surreal what ever the disjointed world of quake 1 was sequel , but it's still a great game
yeah it's got all the weird filtering and dithering down beautifully (hideously?)
hope we see more mods as well,

I'm one of the few that actually prefered Quake 2 over Quake. Love both games though, but the Sci-Fi setting was more my thing.
I'm sure Quake 2, and 3 probably, will get the Nightdive treatment at some point.
