This is a port of the 1999 PlayStation port of Quake II. It's a full conversion of the original campaign including all patches, all levels including DM levels, modernized and balanced with the changes of the PC re-release in mind. Features: All 20 levels of the single player campaign of HammerHead Ltd's Quake II port on the PlayStation, re-created mostly by hand with a ton of help from Blender and Noesis; Recreations of the new intermission videos using the original assets; Co-op support - you can now play the campaign with 3 other marines; It also works with the experimental co-op bots in re-release; Re-balancing and re-working of levels to better fit the engine as well as fixing glaring issues with the original game. The PlayStation port had a couple of levels with misflagged enemies and lacked ammo & health in the later levels, for instance. We tried to balance it to be closer to the PC version without sacrificing the gameplay or the rough progression of weaponry of the original; Re-worked new enemies. The PlayStation port added two new enemies to the roster, but they're a bit lacking in the tactical department. We found ways to make them more interesting and improve their fights.
No spoilers here, but the ROSTER section below does contain spoilers; This mod also includes brand new high quality models for the Arachnid and Guardian, as well as pain skins for them.
New secrets - the original port contained a few items that were only obtainable with rocket jumps, which is kind of a silly design choice. These were changed to proper secrets to encourage exploration. There may even be some brand new secrets to discover; All 13 deathmatch levels are included, including the cut "Fragtowe" which we've dubbed "Frag Tower". They can be played in DM and TDM modes, and bots are supported as well. Keep in mind that these maps are fairly small and designed for 2-4 players; New sounds for running out of breath (bubbling sounds) to replace the wade sfx used in the re-release; the wade sounds are now used for wading, as they are in PSX itself; New sounds for the Arachnid and Guardian; Nearly 700 new textures from the PlayStation version; Not necessarily PSX related but I found the source stock sound for world/wind2.wav and included the high quality version in here. |
