Steam workshop support could be absolutely massive. I'll still be holding off until the game leaves EA though.

Has anyone played it? I'm looking for more games in the vein of Talos Principle and Portal.

As cool as it is to have a new class the QoL features are an even bigger deal for me. Having a grail tracker built is A+++ No more having to maintain a spreadsheet, forgetting to update it and then having to go through so many plugy stash tabs to reconcile.

That being said, having infinite stash tabs a la plugy is another massively needed feature. Being able to track grail progress but not being able to keep every item is incongruent.

Thank god they added a loot filter too. I haven't looked into it but I hope it's quite granular and the settings are exportable so I can do things like filter out white items but keep things like monarchs. Even better would be even more granular settings where I can filter out crystal swords unless they are specific ilvls to ensure they will roll 4os from Larzuk but that's just a pipe dream.

I'm very curious to see what the Warlock sprites look like in the old renderer.

For anyone else who was wondering:

A comprehensive campaign, currently encompassing 34 missions

Quoting: vertigoMakes sense, it's feature complete and superseded by RTX Remix.

There is a RTX Remix? Always thought this only works on DirectX 9 titles as this is what nvidia made the remix studio for. Since OG Quake uses OpenGL as it's default engine I never expected a RTX Remix here.

Oh yeah, that's a very good point. Remix works with DX8 and DX9 games so maybe a source port would work?

Awesome to see them support the game like this, especially after the rocky launch. I'll keep holding off until all key A-Life features are implemented.

Screw Epic.

It's cool that UT2k4 will be available for free download legally but them delisting all the Unreal games from storefronts and then offloading work and server fees to the community is garbage.

I know Epic wouldn't keep updating the games but delisting the games limits their exposure hugely. How many curious players are going to look up 'Unreal Tournament' in EGS (yuck), see no results found and then look online to find OldUnreal? Very few of an already small group.

Quoting: Nezchan

Quoting: vertigop.s: HL1 first -> HL1 expansions if you really dug the original -> HL2 -> Episodes -> Alyx -> Black Mesa

How do OpFor and Blue Sphere work into this?

Those are the HL1 expansions I mentioned.

Black Mesa is for fans who have already experienced the games for what they are.

Yes and no. I agree Black Mesa is definitely for fans of the series and IMO the superior way to play the OG campaign. I'd argue if someone had a mild interest in playing HL1 (they want to experience the story because they've always heard so much about it or they're new to gaming), advise they play Black Mesa. If they're the type of gamer who enjoys or tolerates older games, play HL1.

I politely disagree - I think HL1 is still eminently playable in 2025 and should be attempted first. If a player bounces off the game due to the graphics then by all means play Black Mesa.

I don't think it's accurate to say that Black Mesa and HL1 have the same campaign. They are radically different in most every way. HL1's largest lasting impact is not the story itself but how it's told and I think experiencing that is what's important - not the story beats.

I'm not saying don't play Black Mesa - just don't confuse it with being some sort of remaster of HL1. It's a full re-imagining, not a remaster or remake.
