Best Way to Play Quake? Anonymous Tue Mar 13 22:46:08 2018 No.4643817 [Reply] [Original]

About to install Quake for the first time. Should I play vanilla or are there any source ports I should install?

>>	Anonymous Tue Mar 13 22:52:07 2018 No.4643824 Play the playstation version instead. It has more colors and less content to worry about

Don't mind him, this faggot got blown the fuck out in a Quake 2 thread after saying all console shooters sucked and his anus hasn't recovered yet.

Personally, I like WinQuake. It's easily the most dated and crusty version but I like the aesthetic and general "feeling" the best. If you got the game off gog.com or whatever it comes with both WinQuake and GLQuake. Both are very faithful ports of the original DOS version.

quake 1 was ported to playstation, it just didn't get released, you have to play a development disc of it https://web.archive.org/web/20140301195834/http://www.gareth-jones.co.uk/2010/08/07/interview-ezra-dreisbach/
"The most striking thing about the PlayStation port was how much faster the graphics hardware was than the Saturn."
Not to mention compared to the PC, the playstation absolutely blows the PC the fuck out (check the cool lingo) when it comes to FPSs.

I forgot to mention you might not be able to get your hands on a PS1 dev disc because they've never been seen before so it might be expensive and hard to find. In that case, you can just re-create the playstation experience by setting your resolution to the lowest setting, throwing your mouse and keyboard in the garbage where they belong and using a gamepad, and grabbing some of these color enhancing glasses. Trust me you're not going to be able to go back to how you used to play, after doing this

>are there any source ports I should install?
Quakespasm is the way to play nowadays unless you want to go full nostalgia, in which case quake.exe 1.08 under Dosbox will likely give you less trouble and perform better than than WinQuake on either a modern system or a retro one.

In general you're going to want Quakespasm. It's plain old Quake but it runs better on modern systems and has proper widescreen support.

You're the one who derailed the thread to begin with you retarded faggot. You were literally so upset that you referenced a fucking days old thread just to draw out anyone from the thread in hopes of attracting attention to your anger. I mean holy shit man, get a grip.
