On August 10, the updated Quake II was released with all additions, support for widescreen resolutions, improved models and animations, and a local cooperative.

We would like to note right away that this is not a full-fledged remaster. The developers call the game just an improved version.

What was added:

• The Reckoning and Ground Zero mods and DLC Call of the Machine;

• Network and local co-op for up to 4 players;

• Cross-platform;

• Sight gestures;

• The game supports widescreen resolution up to 4K;

• Redesigned models and animations of opponents, blood effects, dynamic lighting and high-quality cut scenes;

• Optimized AI behavior.

Quake II is available for PC, Switch, PlayStation, Xbox and in Game Pass. The price for such a pleasure is rather low — $ 10. It is clear that the developers set the reasonable price. Did they, Rockstar? Those who have the original game, will receive an improved version for free. Sending greetings to Capcom, too.
