    Simple remaster, I’m sure fans of the series will be stoked but it doesn’t really do much for me (someone unfamiliar with the series). Maybe I would have been more interested had it been a full on remake, modernizing level design and really bringing up the visuals to our standards of today.

        Yeah, I figured as much. Narrative heavy 3rd person action adventure Quake when?

          That is exactly the kind of game I wouldn’t like it to be if anything. It gets right to the action with no bs immediately instead of boring me with long ass cutscenes followed by even more interactive cutscenes, generic shit puzzles, even more cutscenes and then gigantic UI with character development tree, oh and 1 minute of action, there you go. Why is this shit really needed in “modern” standards?

      While we’re at it, let’s modernise the Sistine Chapel and bring it up to date with the world of digital art. Masterpieces do not need modernising.

        You’re agruing that a remake is not necessary but a remaster is fine. In an analogy similar to your own that’s like saying you can’t modernize the Mona Lisa, but it’s fine if you put a new coat of paint over it.

          like saying you can’t modernize the Mona Lisa, but it’s fine if you put a new coat of paint over it.

          A new coat of paint would be updating the graphics, which is the opposite the person you’re replying to meant.

          A better analogy to what they’ve done with Quake is it’s like updating the Mona Lisa’s display case to modern standards and improve the museum’s lighting, so more people can enjoy it.
