Quake 2 Remastered appears to be in the works after a rating for the unannounced shooter was spotted online. An announcement is expected at QuakeCon 2023.
My favorite Quake title is being remastered! One of my most nostalgic PC titles from the 90s. Finally a remaster I’m excited about.
True about the Bethesda Net stuff, but for me, it just meant the game launched 3s slower. I’ve read some comments that the servers sucked at some point. If it took much longer or maybe even prevented the game from working properly, I’d probably be more passionate about it.
I played through Heretic with GZDoom, since the Steam release is just the original game running in DOSBox. It’s not like it was complicated setting it all up, but definitely not as plug-and-play as the Unity ports.
Everything I do is on PC, often times even Steam Deck, so I think the remaster is the perfect opportunity to finally get those features if the source ports don’t have them.

If it’s anything like their other releases for Doom/Quake, then you’re better off using a Source Port instead.
I played through those releases recently and thought they were fine. They looked great and played great as well.
I’m not interested in mods or custom wads, just want a fairly vanilla experience to play through the games, so I’m excited for this remaster.
I didn’t mean to imply that they’re bad ports, just not as fleshed out/mature as the ones the Open Source community has built.
That and that the Bethesda ports have too much bloat. Nobody cares about signing into Bethesda.net.

Do any of the other source ports have controller support and split-screen?
Most have controller support, but not split screen. If you want those features you’re actually are better off with a console port.
