This artist makes the perfect modern variations of the monsters without fucking up the original concept like they did with Doom 3 (Quake IV strogg looks are just fine, considering no two strogg are supposed to look alike even though the enemy models remained the same for each type of enemy)

And last one, possibly the most creepy zombie I ever seen

QUAKE FUCK YEAR


It's like the perfect unholyawesomechild of /tg/ and /x/

>>4476855
Actually, the end-end boss is Shub-Niggurath. You teleport inside, and hack apart the guts of, Shub-Niggurath.

Shit was SO cash.

guys wo just wanna blast shit.

>>4476967

>>4477001
Well, yeah, but the humans didn't know her name. They were just like, "Shit guys, big bad guy's sending enemies! Let's call the BBEG 'QUAKE'... That's a good name for a game!"

>>4477136
The final screen after you erupt from a writhing mass of flesh and tentacles remarks that you've successfully defeated "Shub-Niggurath and her minions."

>>4477132

FFFFFFFF-

>>4477148
Yes. This is the same narrator that would mention, "Unbeknownst to us..." Narrators are omniscient when they need to be.

Quake possibly has the best atmosphere of any game I've ever played.

>>4477097
true, but this game is just... awesome in its own right with the atmosphere and stuff

>>4477001
And then your character (Ranger in Q3A) is taken to the Arena and noted as being 'more alien than human' after his slipgate experiences.

Coming to think of it, Arena has enough characters and fluff snippets to build something out of it.

>>4477188
And you know... it gets even better when you use Tenebrae or DarkPlaces or one of the other modern engines for it. Full volumetric shadows, dynamic/colored lighting, bumpmapping and such. They've done some awesome stuff with it.

Dammit, now I've gotta reinstall it. Fuckers.

This thread shows major amounts of awesome

The artwork dump proves a remake CAN be done, but done right without fucking up the original models

Armagon was a fucking badass boss.

Inspired the strogg, ya know

Let's stat these muthafuckers /tg/

Can't be too hard, just basing the shit off their hitpoints and attacks and shit.

Oh and also: The ease at how the Grunts and Enforcers get taken out: Isn't it similar to today's games at how fast humans get taken out nowadays?

A few hits from the nailgun, one or two from the shotgun, a gibbing by the rocket launcher, etc etc.

It's not until you start seeing orges and fiends and fucking shamblers that made FPSs so damn good back then.

If Quake was to be more updated with a better storyline, I think the first episode needs to be mostly just the Earth levels that you normally start each episode in, only to FINALLY reach the slipgate complex and enter an outpost close to the gateway to the Earth Realm.

Or something. The episode levels need to flow better.

And combine Scourge of Armagon/Dissolution of Eternity into the original Quake as one complete game.

Bring back the original concept of the "Quake" hammer with the Mjolnir, as id Software intended Quake to be.

But keep the same fast and gritty gameplay.

Catwell is my new god

yeah, best game or best game, along with its brothers in arms from the same era; DN3d Hexen, Heretic, shadow warrior. etc gl happy gaming

VISIT THIS MAN YOU FUCKS

HE BRINGS THE TRUE WORD OF QUAKE

My idea for the Shambler is having him able to cross dimensions.

Imagine this: You encounter the Shambler in Quake, and you already know how deadly they are with their fast speed, powerful melee attacks, resistance to explosive attacks, and always-hits lighting from their claws.

You run away then, and escape him through a high platform or sealed door.

You think you are safe... only for a slit to appear in the walls, like a womb being sliced open.

Out reaches a long three clawed arm and grabs for you, and pulls you in, your punishment for lacking the courage to fight the Shambler head on.

For he just finds you in an enclosed area where you thought you were safe.

If you do manage to escape his claw grab, then he'll open the portal bigger and climb right through... and resume his chase.

Hope you have enough nails.

>>4477740
>interdimensional shambler

icwhatyoudidthere

A game so old and simple... yet so fucking fun.

And for making the Q letter the most badass letter ever.

Needs more tits.

Seriously, who doesn't want to see tits on classic Quake creatures.

Man thanks for reminding me how awesome quake was and that i need to play it again immediately

>>4477237

Thanks, I just installed DarkPlaces. I'm having a major nerdgasm as I type this. No sleep or work until I replay the entire game. Well of Wishes, here I come!

That one lava boss level, if you code and noclip into one of the long halls you come to find a hidden room full of badguys. Aggro them and make one hit the other, then they just maul eachother. (They;re supposed to be spare bits when you kill the big boss, as a cinematic, their bodyparts flying out of the lava as he falls back into it after the final volt).

My favorite part of the game.

BUMP!

>>4477755
The Dimensional Shambler is what the shambler is based on. Track down the Quake Bible or it might be on Wikipedia.

>>4480714
Which, by the way, is why they always teleport into places when you enter.

How could you pull off a Quake pen n paper rpg? Obviously nothing so fast paced or SHOOTAN, but a survival horror game or something.

Reinstalling

bump for sheer fucking awesome and rpg potential


Quake's atmosphere is just perfect to create an rpg off of

>>4478538

I remember that, and sometimes I'd just appear right in, get them all riled up, and leave and go defeat Chthon.

And once you enter through the portal, monsters spawn all over the place because you fucked up the teleportation points, where they were supposed to telefrag each other and shit

>>4477918

I always thought the well was an actual healing pool with clever code.

Then I died IN the well one day and saw all the health packs

Dark Heresy, with the PC's bumped up a little in terms of power (an advancement or two), could handle it pretty well I think.

Barring that, wasn't there a homebrew system made specifically to replicate FPS's?

>>4481273

I want to hear more about this FPS-to-RPG converter.

In terms of an RPG though, Quake's weapons would of course vastly outnumber the ones displayed in the game, and this goes for melee weapons as well.

Orges, for instance, don't have a chainsaw and grenade launcher for every single one. Obviously, they'd have either huge melee weapons like axes or clubs or something, and a few have heavy caliber weapons like a quad-barrel shotgun or said grenade launcher. Hell, one could pay tribute to Texas Chainsaw Massacre with the chainsaw in a sort of berserker-orge

>>4476905

About fucking time somebody got the shambler right, it's original intention (confirmed by John Romero) was a yeti-like creature.

THAT MEANS FUR. EVEN THE N64 GUIDE GOT THE APPEARANCE WRONG WITH GENERIC ROUGH SKIN

>>4481367
>>4481381

Hmmm... definitely shows variety.

AND D'AWWWW

>>4481059

The "Well of Wishes" isn't the healing pool. It's that weird blue underwater room with Dopefish on the wall.

Yiff in hell, furfags.

>>4481390

.... damn has it been that long since I last played it?

Fuck I forgot about Dopefish...

>>4481401

Are trolls just lazy and fucking stupid nowadays?

It's like they randomly blurt out shit for no reason that has no relation to the topic.

0/10, jesus

Didn't John Romero dub the slime enemies "tar babies?"

>>4481418

I think so, the Scrag was known as the wizard and the Vore was known as the Shalrath.

>>4481431

Death Knight was also given the nickname of Hell Knight

That guy is my favorite enemy, with the sword that sends out fireballs all over the place

...actually, thinking about it, wouldn't Quake work better as say a board game? Not unlike the Doom 3 one, perhaps?

>>4481711
The Doom boardgame lead to Descent, which is kingly.

>>4481711
>>4481692
You could grab a copy of Frag and try to modify that if you want a board game where most of the work is done for you.

I am into this PnP idea. The way I see it, there's two options: beer n' preztels streamlined rules, shoot stuff left and right; or take the grittiest of the gritty elements of the game and make it survival horror -- commando team charges in and finds they're vastly outnumbered, whatever. puzzle solving, running away while shooting...

>>4481734
Have the NPC be ranger, who occasionally wordlessly comes in eviscerating the big monster before it has had a chance to react and storming off through another portal

>>4481734
I kinda whanted a PnP idea with streamlined combat. tkae class kinda idea like medics, heavy weapons, and such. throw in some puzzles like finding hte right key or some such. but bloody fast combat is right up in front

>>4476885

Doom 3 made me pretty fucking angry, actually. There are a lot of reasons for this but among them is the complaint that NOTHING looked right. In fact, it looked like they were getting Quake in my Doom in a very bad way.

>>4483578

OHGODHESSTARINGINTOMYSOUL

>>4483578

he looks so happy, he knows the power inside him

What always creeped me out was the fluff for the normal soldiers. They have chips in their brains that make them orgasm every time they kill something

>>4483618

Give the grunts a shitload of variety, like with a single-barreled nailgun, a few grenades, shotgun as usualy, etc etc.

Enforcers have armor with a biosuit, given the Vader-like breathing they have, give them heavier weapons like rocket launchers and shit.

Zombies in Quake aren't the virus-infected guys that are becoming too cliche in today's fiction. They are the ancient, degrading, UNDEAD monsters that can only be stopped by separate the body parts like in The Evil Dead with Ash having to dismember his friends. If they remade quake, you could have the zombie parts CONTINUE to try to move even though you technically killed them.

Goddamn /tg/, I love taking the fluff and expanding upon it

Pentragram of Protection + Quad Damage + Super Nailgun = most powerful gaming force ever.

>>4483781

throw in the ring of shadows for good measure, nothing quite like seeing a floating pair of yellow eyes glaring at you as nails with the force of a .50 caliber come flying out of nowhere

>>4483781

Not even the Lady of Pain can handle such shit

>>4483999

don't know man, remember how long it takes to kill Shub the normal way?

In fact, what was her health before they patched it so it makes her unkillable safe for a telefrag?

>>4484062

(between 84 and 100 rockets even with quad damage)

Before the 1.05 patch

and inb4telefraggingladyofpain

>>4484073

It's ironic though, normally telefrag works by a player teleporting into the other players location and killing the second player. But when a monster in the single-player teleports in your spot, the monster gets telefragged instead.

So what happens when you try to telefrag the Lady of Pain?

>>4484137
>telefrag the Lady of Pain

Sweet Jesus man, you'd give her the worst shits as your body gets flayed into mush inside her

>>4485384

Don't Vores hate each other though? All you have to do is kite one into the other and then deal with the winner.

Or am I thinking of Shamblers?

I know there was one epic moment where an Ogre SHOULD have gibbed me with a rocket launcher, only to clip a Shambler instead, the shambler then proceeds to go apeshit on the Ogre and the Strogg in the room.

I decide to leave the room at this point. I hate watching domestic disputes.

You think vores are scary? try having a fucking ogre glitch on you like one did for me!

During the course of one level an ogre glitched the fuck out on me, instead of dying when it was killed it fell through the level sort of like a noclip cheat. Only it kind of got stuck in the floor with it's head poking out, it basically looked like a severed ogre head.

Picture it, a severed head crawling along behind you snarling and shooting grenades at you that you CAN'T KILL because it's hit box is protected by the ground and when it gets close enough your health whittles away as it chainsaws you to death. I thought it was biting me because I could only see the head and I was like, 8 or 10 at the time?

That shit scared the hell out of me.

Whenever one of the melee enemies closed in on me, I gritted my teeth and pulled out the Super Nailgun if I had it. I always imagined that Quake Guy held off the enemy's attacks with one arm while he ripped their guts off with the nailgun when that happened.

Also: Quake + Headphones = Crap In Your Pants

This game is perfect.

>>4485420

It's just the grunts and enforcers I think, they actually attack each other's same model just like the zombies did in Doom.

>>4485524

Oh fuck lol, yeah that would leave an impression. I remember whenever somebody gets gibbed, their head would sometimes fall on a slope and start spinning in the air due to the ancient and young physics system.

Or discharging your cells into the water with the Thunderbolt and killing yourself and the enemies both in AND outside the water like some sort of real-time electric attack

After playing Quake I forevermore called Zombies "Zomb-Bombs" because of the zombies throwing pieces of themselves at you.

>>4477811

>>4486318

Well... Both the realm of Quake and the Strogg need to tie in together somehow, they just gotta.

I can see it now: Quake V continues the strogg assault, reaching this black hole generator portal, only for it to go haywire and you get sucked into the dimensions of Quake.

FUCK YEAR, only DON'T CHANGE THE APPEARANCE OF THE MONSTERS, THEY ARE PERFECT ALREADY

Oh god, Quake! That shit practically defines my entire childhood circa my Primary school days.

The zombies scared the shit out of me, so I never played their levels if I could help it. Something about them, I dunno. I intend to rip their sound files some day to use during RPG sessions, hopefully I can impose some of the same dread and horror of them onto my players.

>>4486298
You know, I tried to figure out whether or not it did but the model has like 12 polys and the texture is impossibly muddy. Maybe she doesn't have any because she is female.
>>4486248
This thread is not about Doom, just get them off of Paheal if you want them so bad.

>>4486365

I remember in Dissolution of Eternity, when you fight the mummy queen for the first time, I launched a rocket at her, thinking she was just a reskinned zombie.

She didn't blow up into chunky kibbles.

I launched another.

Still nothing.

I turned tail and was afraid to fight her, I thought she was indestructible. I tried to complete the level without killing her, but apparently you couldn't progress to the next area until she died.

So I launched multi-rocket after multi-rocket at her.

She eventually died, she just had a shitload of health.

But what scared me the most was the fact I thought she was unkillable.

And that my friends, is what is the scariest thing in games, unsure if something is killable or not.

>>4486427

Romero did confirm that the Shambler is supposed to have white, blood stained fur, but oh well.

I like the idea of female shamblers without fur.

And the big jugs mean those little shambies needs lots of healthy breast milk to grow big and tall and have the necessary electrodes in their blood.

A teenage Shambler with bright, blue lighting, is a healthy Shambler, momma shambler must have done something right.

QUAKE FOREVER

So...Quake/DH...

A PDF platoon returns from a long patrol to find their hive city gone dark. The streets are awash with blood, and as they watch, a servitor emerges from a wrecked shop carrying an armful of human viscera and severed limbs. Following will lead them to the manufactoria, where the remains are dumped in a coliseum, now just a charnel pit containing thousands upon thousand of mangled corpses.

Over the mound of dead, servitors and insane tech-priests pick out the finest pieces, taking them to be messily clamped, riveted and interfaced to artificial parts on a hellish assembly line. If noticed, the priests call for misshapen attack servitors that carry everything from lazrifles to blood-caked industrial tools.

If any survive and make it to the deepest levels, they make it to the great forge, a refinery boasting a pool of molten metal a hundred feet across. The signs of the machine god have been defiled, and sigils of choas are etched upon the walls.

Within the pool of metal, something stirs...

Can someone tell me how to download the "Darkplaces" Mod? Or rather, how to get all the quake games. I used to play Quake when i was really little, i'd like to actually finish the games.

Did you even fucking bother to read his post?

>>4488246
Yeah, it does. I found that out in 1996.

13 FUCKING YEARS AGO

One thing I never got about Quake II to Quake IV...

Quake II had female marines, which were used to make the Iron Maidens.

In Quake IV there were NO female marines. So really, why did that change...? And WHY were there still Iron Maidens?

>>4488271
See differences between Doom 1 and Doom 3.

>>4488282
... are you implying that Quake 4 was the worst of the series?

Awesome Quake map editor, but for OS X. No-one admit to being a macfag.

Damn I miss Quiver.

http://www.wantonhubris.com/toetag/ToeTag.html

>>4488346
Speaking of maps, one thing I DO still have laying around:

Helenquake. All her maps.

>>4488271
Actually there's been quite a bit of stigma recently in showing females die gorily that, funnily enough, weren't around in the early days of gaming.

Before it was okay to see Sonya Blade getting her head ripped off, spine still attached, but nowadays they avoid adding any non-deskjob or non-pilot female COG's to Gears of War because of some stigma about showing women getting chainsawed in half. It's perfectly okay to see a guy's entrails get splattered on the screen, though.

From this we may assume that the reason there were no female marines in Quake 4 is because they look too "human", and it's far too grisly to see a human woman getting butchered by Strogg. But it's okay to blow a Strogg with tits away because they're clearly alien/ repulsive half-organic automatons.

rolled 16 = 16

>>4488415

I always figured "Hey, our female marines are getting turned into insane rocket-toting mecha-bitches. LETS NOT SEND THEM OUT ANYMORE BECAUSE THEY'RE A GODDAMN LIABILITY."

>>4488415
So what you're saying is that there are less women in the more violent modern games because the gaming industry has by and large become a bunch of pussies since the good old days?

>>4488427
But that makes no sense because the male marines were being turned into fucknasty things as well.

>>4488438

He does have a point you know. Controversial games are getting a hard time getting to the top unless they're made by Rockstar.

>>4488450
In Quake 2, you got to SEE them getting gibbed in order to make spare parts for the Strogg army. It was pretty awesome. You never really got to see the process making the Iron Maiden, but it was probably pretty similar. But yeah, it seems like sending any organic being regardless of gender to fight the Strogg is a "liability".

rolled 89 = 89

>>4488450

Valid point.

But the females were specifically being made into Iron Maidens, WHICH SHOT ROCKETS. The guys were pretty much just recycled into everything.

>>4488471
Sending anything, even robots to combat the Strogg and they will be cannibalized and converted for parts and for new soldiers. It's just what they do.

Wow, none of you remember HelenQuake?

Fucking kids.

>>4488415
>>4488469
And yet in a game like Fallout 3 which is pretty much universally lauded by the game reviewers out there you can take a chainsaw with attached axe-blades to women, dismember their naked body, and then use the parts to decorate the room as you wish. Oh, but only AFTER you feast on them thanks to your Cannibal perk.

Nevermind the female corpses hung up on chains that Raiders use to decorate their stomping grounds.

>>4488493

You can't kill any children though

>>4488493
That isn't especially gory.

We're talking about human women being kept alive and conscious while being dismembered, hacked up and turned into mindless half-machine monstrosities.

>>4488481
The point stands though that there weren't nearly enough Iron Maidens to make them deadlier than Tanks, Medics, Gladiators, Berzerkers, Enforcers, or even those stupid Shotgun and Pistol grunts that ran around in mass numbers. They were pretty few and far between, and I would argue that running into a bunch of mooks armed with shitty laser pistols is a damn sight worse than running into a single Iron Maiden with plenty of strafing room between you and her.

I never said the point didn't still stand.

But then, we're trying to apply some sort of logic to...well, Quake.

Fuck, I've seen worse shit happen in 80's slasher movies. Seeing somebody get killed by an industrial weapon, feasted on, then have their headless and limbless torso hung from a meathook to add some color to a room strikes me as MUCH MORE DISTURBING than just seeing them get converted into a Strogg. Because cyborgs are cool, but dismembered human remains are... well... just kind of gross really.

>>4488502
I know, makes no sense.

I would've liked to have the option even if I wasn't likely to do it.

You COULD kill kids in Fallout, but I never fucking DID it. You could even earn a perk that made you a haunted fugitive. It was called "Child Killer" and seemed an appropriate enough punishment.

I like the thought of having to be CAREFUL in a town while fighting random thugs because a stray bullet may catch a kid in the head and suddenly turn me into a wasteland pariah.

The only way kids die in Fallout 3 are if you indirectly slay them by nuking a town.

Yeah, Texas Chainsaw Massacre gave me nightmares. Seeing a woman made into a killing machine just makes me think of a Trent Reznor music video. Definitely not as hardcore.

Strogg and quake are rightly fucked up, unholy monsters or creatures that recycle and slap anything together so that they can do it again and more.

It's interesting how packaging works, why the classic "Zombie" in a game like L4D or resident evil aren’t a threat due to their behavior and just being desensitized, but take that same idea and just present it differently. Bam, nightmare fuel.

A moving corpse isn't nearly as bad as "undead creature that will stop at nothing to kill you, and even after dismembering it the pieces will attack you" or "See that mass of metal and flesh? Look at its face. You talked to him before this mission."

Here's a fun way to get the music to work if you don't have the original CD...

There'd be plenty of pussy if these "old school gamers" weren't all fucking 10 when Quake came out and knew who the hell Helen Hobden was.

>>4488798
Ever see tvtrops? their nightmare fuel section list Doom 3 and Halo

granted there's a ton of awesome shit their too but I nearly pissed myself laughing as i read that.

>>4488811
STOP MAKING UP MYTHICAL CREATURES! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A HELAN HOBDEN!

Iron Maidens seem to only be in areas of high priority


They "stay home and defend" the area.


Ever noticed that throughout the two games?

>>4488219
hmm, did what you said but as when i run the executable, nothing happens. Will this not work if i'm using vista?

>>4490396
>>4490396
What do you mean by nothing happens?

Does Quake Launch? Or is it just no action at all?

If it's the former, go into options and change the video options to get better resolution and such.

If it's the latter, you're sure that the file directory looks like this --> C:\(Whatever)\Quake\Id1
Darkplaces.exe should be in \Quake\
And pak0.pak and pak1.pak should be in \Quake\Id1
Your directory should look something like.... Pic. Not exactly like that, but kinda close...

Also, see this one too.

like no action at all is what i mean.

I downloaded the file, unzipped it, and tried to run the executable, no go. Does Quake need to be installed first?

>>4490478
There is no facepalm image large enough to represent how I feel towards you right now.

Yes, you need Quake installed first. Do that, make sure it's into the directory where Dark Places went. I don't think it will over-write anything.

>>4490502
Good thing quake doesn't work with windows NT.

Vista.
