[iMernerner]

[DukeLinkXD]

Quake is the game that started all the actual 3D based games that we see today that replaced sprite based games. Also did you know that Half Life uses the same engine as Quake 1?

[gargantuanmetaphysic]

He sounds like a little bitch!

[Zeanu]

I wanna know where they got the current Ogre soundfile from. I know they used it for the pig cops in Duke Nukem 3D ...

[gargantuanmetaphysic]

@Zeanu yeah, I noticed that too!

[Zeanu]

@gargantuanmetaphysic Let's try and find out! I am reaaally curious.

[Eriance]

Did the Wizard fire cacodemon Fireballs? lol

[ssdwellah]

Pretty glad they changed the monster sounds!

[dronespace]

Very interesting watching this and thank fuck they changed the Quake guy's voice haha

[VitorHunter12]

hey, how to download this version ? :)

[LivingdeadMetal]

@VitorHunter12

My channel.

[LivingdeadMetal]

... Quake at the time and then had a vote to either wait 2/3 years for id Tech 2 or id Tech 3 to come and instead voted to make it a FPS with Doom styled weapons without any storyline, and so it was.

[hanrinch]

quake and quake 2 were part of id tech 2 engine, the relationship is like between quake 3 and return to castle wolfenstein which made exactly same engine.

[LivingdeadMetal]

@hanrinch

No, Quake was made off of a different engine from Quake 2.

[hanrinch]

if doom was made of id tech 1 than what do you prefer the engine that quake used?

[LivingdeadMetal]

@hanrinch

Quake engine was used by Quake 1 and Hexen 2, id Tech 2 was used by Quake 2 and Heretic 2. Search it up.

[LivingdeadMetal]

So, from my point of view. Quake was going to be an adventurous fantasy RPG game with a character called Quake who carried magical weapons and an axe that grew more powerful everytime you killed an enemy with it, if a dying enemy or companion died you would cut their head off with a sword, ogres had big ears with a bloodier skin and carried around a black bag to put enemies heads in after he beheaded an enemy and there were dragons. However there wasn't the technology or code to have that...

[ohnny4]

Wait, so the Beta's nailgun looked like... A giant rotating penis?

[LivingdeadMetal]

@ohnny4

That wasn't a beta, that was a test. The alpha/beta didn't have those type of weapons.

[T02myRu]

How to play that map? or add monsters in map.

[nooblet911]

in this version the graphics weren't made out of 3d polygons yet but of muddy pixels

[LivingdeadMetal]

@nooblet911

No, it's just that there wasn't a GLQuake for the test, if you go into WinQuake.exe you'll see the graphics looks the same.

[nooblet911]

I was joking about the muddy pixels

[LivingdeadMetal]

If you look at some earlier shots of Q1 you'll see it's very different, more like Hexen 1. Dragons, knights and more medieval shit. Shame, I would've liked to slay some dragon!

[IloveFPS1]

DM1

[DukeLinkXD]

here is the download of this version for any want to play ;)

watch?v=3NwucmoW8lc

[DukeLinkXD]

i rebember play this map, the map is the test1.map with the PHIL2.THG modification, in games. org/pub i rebember found this

[LivingdeadMetal]

Aww man, I wanted to see the dragon. Please tell me how to spawn the monsters.

[ElGbayRGX]

where you can get this ???? =)

[davegsucks]

donde lo conseguiste? me podrias decir la pagina?

[TAz69x]

Don't forget, development sounds are usually a joke X'-D, a programming placeholder until the sound designer puts the finished sounds in place for the events.

[Szymanskill]

The scrags look almost threatening, shame they were neutered in the full game. Shotty looks far cooler than the retail version :(

[Lockmat666]

He sounds like Will Ferrel at 0:11.

[Carthsting]

not much of difference except panel,but you can see it at existable quake multiplayer test.SNAILGUN is different,yes.

[marioworlstudios]

The ranger is such a fucking wuss XD

[AlphaEnt]

It's possible to download?

Los gritos son re exagerados, pero como es un beta, se entiende que aun no estaba terminado XD

[blueuser4000]

the ranger sounded like french to me

[osoji]

Descarga?

[Thewilyranger]

Interesting how the Scragg seemed to have exploding shots, thank god he didn't have those in the full version

[POLEPOS]

The Quake guy sounds like a pussy :D

[themaniacboy]

im sorry that i was an asshole, just like the guy i was speaking to

[Iloveid]

lo amo!!

[VandreadXY]

un clasico aunke el quake 3 =) rlz

[nimbus186]

I remember playing this (which was called QTEST1) in deathmatch. It was a test version released to the public, with 3 deathmatch levels (which became DM1-3 with very few changes in the final version), the monsters weren't officially supposed to be in it but could be put in by hacking the levels.

It was so slow on my 486DX-33 that I sometimes disabled texture mapping to speed it up!

Recently downloaded it again just to remember what it was like - it was very hard to find a copy of!

[Malamockq]

Crysis won't look like crap. It's just other games will look like movie CGI, so Crysis will look dated in comparison. Nothing changes about the game. It's only your perception of it.

[BonesAndBones]

hes talkin about all the n00b gamers who look at Doom 1 today and say "those graphics suck", itll happen d00d accept it

[Thewilyranger]

I agree Malamockq I feel that gameplay makes the game not graphics, I kind of miss games like Quake and Doom it had little back story and placed the player against unspeakable odds with plenty of monsters and zombies.

[EnigmaHood]

I miss the hordes of monsters. With better technology, we should be seeing that return in the future.

[Thewilyranger]

I hope so its actually a variety compared to the military shooters we have now, the latest game I can think of with a Doom/Quake quality was the serious sam series

[EnigmaHood]

The last game with Doom/Quake quality was Doom/Quake! And I'm not talking about Doom 3 or Quake 4. iD is making a new game called Rage, and it looks promising. I hope it's as good as it looks. They are also making Doom 4, so there are two games to look forward to.

[Thewilyranger]

I didn't mind Doom 3 personally gave a different feel but I saw a mod for the game called Doom classic which turns doom 3 into the original doom. I have Quake 4 but haven't played it yet, I have to wait though since my power supply on my gaming rig blew and Im waiting for the replacement to come

[DDRrez]

@Malamockq

kinda true but when your comparing older games to new games (graphic wise) then they do look like shit.

[EnigmaHood]

@DDRrez Not really. Quake 3 is old, but I think it looks better than a lot of games that come out these days.

[DDRrez]

@EnigmaHood

quake 3 graphics were ehh, ID made sure it could run well even if your computer sucked, but i think Unreal (1998) looks better art style wise, and was the best looking game of its time (even better than half life)

[EnigmaHood]

@DDRrez To each their own, but that wasn't really the point I was making. I was saying that old games don't always look like shit even if compared to modern games.

[unto0thers1]

they probably threw the rest of the game together fast once the engine and graphics were done. That would explain the lame, unimaginary sound effects

[themaniacboy]

you are lame

[unto0thers1]

Ok "themaniacboy". Get some views on your videos son -Then you can talk youtube trash. Until then, ur a loosah. No one looks at yo shit.

[themaniacboy]

i already got videos but they are lame so are you

[unto0thers1]

That's right. Yo videos lame. U suck @ u tube. U a Lameo Loosah.

[unto0thers1]

I didn't agree I was lame. I said yo videos lame. U a lameo loosah. No one watches yo shit, Boring is different than informative. You got borin shit uploads, might as well delete yo shit.

[psychonaut25]

I have seen this years ago ona cover CD from one PC magazine. There was 3 videos from this quake test and a bunch of pictures from This test.Where did you get this from? have you something another about quake 1??

[Heytfield]

I get this vid 10 years ago in the PcZone magazine.I think also includes a deathmatch vid and some pics but the quality is very poor (too dark).If i found it i will upload as soon as i can :).

[psychonaut25]

Great, this will be good if you upload some aother videos from this legendary beta version.. If you can, you can upload the whole directory with this Quake videos from that PcZone CD to an freehosting like rApIdShaRe.

[Corruptedd]

Those are the funntiest pain sounds..

Eyyahhhyyy! Funny.

[SiliconBong]

I never saw the beta for quake, LOL, still much better than Doom/Heretic/Hexen/Nam Wolf3D/Blood/ShadowWarrior/ Maybe not Shadow Warrior, and Blood was sort of decent as well.
