Well we didn't have to wait long for a payoff on
the
teasing of a "revitalized"
version of
Quake. There's background on this release in
this article on the PlayStation.Blog. This
post on Steam has release notes and a FAQ about a new update to the
venerable first-person shooter that adds a bunch of modern touches. These
include enhanced graphics with support for higher resolutions, the addition of
the two official DLC packs, the full Trent Reznor soundtrack, a new episode, and
more. This is all integrated into the version of the game sold on Steam, and if
you already own that, then you have the new version at no additional cost.
Here's the quick overview:
Quake – the legendary dark fantasy FPS that
revolutionized the genre is now enhanced! This new offering features cross-play,
dedicated servers for online deathmatch matchmaking, free optional Add-ons,
split-screen support for local deathmatch and co-op, AI opponents in deathmatch
and more!
