UE4 ist from the aktual unreal4 prealpha version ? this is playing very nice. Damn good old q1 on this engine with that gfx. woow

[Mr.Burns]

Q1 like it is, not the high level gfx, bu faithful settings yet mod-able. But using the UE4 engine for server/networking/physics/etc?

Just curious, but given the vast experience of people like yourself / Baker / Spike / Seven in developing for Quake, if you were going to refresh Quake 1 with a modern engine what would you say is the best one to use ? and what language (C#, C++, etc)?...and why to both?

Kind regards

That's exactly what I was thinking!

Not even remotely close to a demo! Just a very short video of one corridor... It looks good but I'll need more content before I get hyped up.

[Massao]

It looks very good, but just demo of e1m1!

[Seven]

This has been done in the Crysis engine and in Rage and in ...
Hell even in Doom 2016 they did in with snapmap already.

Do you guys know that the current Q1 engines are totally capable of doing such a "tech demo fly-by" clip as well ?

Such clips only want to tell: "Look what I have done. I am pretty cool, arent I ?"

Some remakes of old games in UE4 looks awesome (check Mario, Sonic, Tomb Raider, Zelda Ocarina of time) while doom 2 remake looks really awful

Yes please!!

[Mr.Burns]

Wow, just wow!
Now if only we could play Quake with this kind of quality without losing any of the fluidity, gameplay and versatility of Quake.

Nice find BV

Kind regards

Yes you're right, I've copied/paste the title of the video anyway

don get me worng.
I believe a quake 1 conversion to UE4 will be easy to done.


UE 4 is really awesome, i believe is possible to convert mdl models to psk with neosis, but you need to rewrite all the animations to psa format. I think they are using a part of the original map with custom textures and shaders.
anyway you would have problems with copyright using quake 1 models!

nice stuff , actually the title shuld be "a portion of e1m1 in ue4"
