Whoever made those textures did a mighty fine job.

As a player of quake, nothing here looks at all familiar. No exaggeration. Looks far closer to half life than quake imo.. does look kinda cool though.
The video I was shown was showing off “how old the engine is yet it still looks great”, much more of a “Let’s see how far we can push this thing” experiment. It’s really cool to see. I recommend trying it
Thanks for this comment and your post. It does seem very cool. I haven't used the engine they recommend and I'm wondering what new features it has that makes it required to not have issues. I'll try to check it out this weekend.
I definitely recommend trying out the original quake. And try to think of it from the perspective of 1995 when it came out, when doom and duke nukem 3d were the closest games made before then. The graphics and overall atmosphere of that game were incredible. I actually think it mostly still holds up honestly.
Totally!
By thumbnails I would have guessed moded Q2 engine (idTech2, so kinda HL1)
Then again Q1 & Q2 have been rereleased in the recent years (with Doom 3 like lighting & modern Doom-like extra campaigns ... I'm just playing these extra maps now bcs I'm less weirded out by what they did or maybe bcs I've forgotten about it for a few years).
I'm still glad Quake 1 got so many amazing mods throughout the years (eg of HL1 I only remember They Hunger for some reason).
I remember hearing about They Hunger. I mean to try it out but never got around to it
Honestly, they prob are still hungering, perpetually hungry bunch of folk iirc (but I don't remember much, my brainhole prob romanticised the atmosphere too much, also just the thought of fans making such total conversion mods ... I never judged them harshly to begin with).
As some one who played it for years (and unreal) I didn't recognize it either. Looks cool, not my quake :D
"So, how was your play session with Quake?"
"Oh, today was Penis day at the Gym. One of the folks also went for the Brutalist Butt Plug."

Never heard of this project, thanks for highlighting it.
The art direction gives me Red Faction Vibes.
The Quake soundtrack by Trent Reznor was a nice touch too
That mod is so good. Of course not every map is going to blow your mind, but I haven’t yet found on I didn’t at least somewhat enjoy.
Only wish they had included some more actiony music, like doom 2016. They have some in their trailer, but ingame it’s mostly ambiance.
I really enjoyed it. I had to play on easy because I have absolutely no quake experience but it makes me want to try playing the original and then coming back
This is the second time I've heard about "Penis day at the Gym" and I think I've got to try it
Yeah, it's the second time I'm hearing about it also, who knew it was a game mod too??
Heck yeah, been playing this too. It's so good. Such a great community collection that's packaged extremely well.
Wow! Havent heard of this one.... looks great.
I love q1 mods... if you want one thats much more aesthetically quake, try arcane dimensions
I might try that next, I’m getting a lot of good suggestions.
I think my first order of business should be sitting down and playing through the OG quake first though, after buying it to play the mod (After which I found out I don’t even have to buy a copy) I want to try playing it. I don’t know much
Good plan. Hard to say where my immense nostalgia ends and quakes "greatness" begins, but the og campaign is still one of my happy places after decades... and the folks at id n nightdive etc have done a great job adding to it and updating it for modern times. Dimension of the Machine is fantastic!!
If possible, transport yourself back to 1997 and get some friends to do a local multiplayer threewave or deathmatch... god, my brothers and i had so much fun.
I have to try this!
Wow, that looks really cool.
