Looks Like Quake 2 Will Target PS5, PS4 Later This Month

That'll be amazing

Brings back those good N64 days.

[Ashunderfire86]

Wow I remember those days with my brothers 🥲 playing 4 player death match! It was that game, Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark! Had so much fun with those games man. Online play is just not the same, even with more players. Quake 2 was the best on N64 and even Quake 1 where my brother and I would get the monsters to fight each other 🤣🤣🤣
29315; I always wanted the Ogre to win against the darn Fiend.

gonna act like this only coming to playstation systems and not switch xbox and pc huh

[MadLad]

It's a Playstation oriented site so, really, they're not being disingenuous. They're covering the PlayStation releases. The use of "targeting" is a bit misleading; they still should tag all the platforms it's coming to.

@mjchitown WTH are you talking about? This was announced as coming to Xbox GP first, now there is confirmation that PS versions are coming. N4G didn’t report this. It was Push Square, which btw is a PlayStation oriented site. Just like the Xbox oriented site Pure Xbox, only mentioned it coming to Xbox GP and didn’t mention PS5 and PC. Please learn how to read.

You know...you can just buy quake 2 for pc right?

[InUrFoxHole]

What's a pc

[InUrFoxHole]

Yeah it's disingenuous of them but it's the same the other way around.

[Profchaos]

I'd actually be more impressed if they re released the PS1 classic version and the n64 version both were bespoke unique versions and a great reminder of how different systems got entirely different versions of games back in The day

[MadLad]

There's probably nothing stopping them if they really wanted to. They should. When they rereleased Doom 64 for modern platforms that was a huge win for fans of the series. They could do the same here.

I hope the rumors of a new Quake are true.

Wait, why aren't MS telling Activision to take this game away from PS, you know the whole narrative on why they are purchasing them.

[__SteakDeck__]

Don’t be dumb. MS isn’t taking legacy games that were on other systems before. We know this. That’s one of the things that they meant by “case by case basis”. Only new games will be exclusive. For example, the new rumored Quake reboot will be exclusive. Stop trying to stir things. Lol

[thesoftware730]

Why I gotta be dumb tho..lol.

Yeah, case by case basis, you have no idea if all new games will be exclusive. That is kinda what I was getting at. The PS-Only fans, don't differentiate, case in point, jznrpg...his comment would indicate, had the deal been closed already, the game would be Xbox exclusive.

The narrative is "taking games away from PS"...period.

And hey, if you are talking about stirring things up, there is a lot of heavy offenders you need to go check....but you won't lol. I'm just having a bit of fun brother, not my usual MO.

[jznrpg]

MS doesn’t own ABK the deal was delayed until October

[MrBaskerville]

I'm glad, was convinced that Phil Spencer would make it exclusive after his comments where he said all Bethesda stuff would be exclusive

[raWfodog]

He was referring to new IPs going forward. Legacy software will likely remain multiplatform.

[__SteakDeck__]

Not just new IP but new games in general. Hellblade 1 and Outer Worlds 1 were on PS but the sequels won’t be. You can bet that the new rumored Quake reboot will be exclusive.

[MrBaskerville]

That's good, that might mean that we'll also get the inevitable Heretic and Hexen remasters on ps and Switch.

[Vanfernal]

If this is a Nightdive Studios port I'm getting this day 1.

[MrBaskerville]

I think it's going to be the same as Quake 1. I hope there's some Machinegun Games levels like last times!

Generally just looking forward to all the community content.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

Awesome news . Me and my friends played well over a couple hundred hours of Quake 2 4 player split screen deathmatch on PS1 and 2; and we used to tape a paper makeshift divider to TV so we can not see each others portion of screen. So much fun !!! Thank you ID Software.for updated re -release.

[DefenderOfDoom2]

My other Quake 2 memory was playing on PC landline with 4 other players at my friends work. Only played about
30 hours or so and just started getting okay at mouse and keyboard. back in the late 90's . Unfortunately I never bought my own PC to game on back then .

[aaronlif10]

Please give us a remastered version of Quake 4!!!!!

[Kekewei]

It is a good sign, I hope the rumored Oblivion remastered come to ps5 as well.
