QW remastered would be much better and a more logical place to start if they are going to begin remaking Quake games (which they almost certainly arent)
Quake II has unmatched physics and ideally balanced weapon arsenal

I was reading through that half-baked plea and didn't find out who it was directed at, guess I skipped the first line or my brain simply ignored that fact that you want id to remake a game for the 20 remaining players that might fire up the game once in a while.
IF you want this to succeed, you need community support, modders, coders, people that are eager to work on the game and not a corporation that gets nothing in return.
need a new quake.
quake 1-2-3 are older than halo franchise, too much $ to port them in a new engine.
And (sadly) quake players base is smaller than halo fanbase
Yh i agree. I saw the post in my fb feed and just thought i'd share it. It would be awesome though if it would actually happen, but chances r 0.1 % . I just got abit nostalgic and sentimental about it when i saw the post :)
You're actually proving my point - I am part of the community and I get nothing in return. However, if I were a company that aims to earn money and not lose it over a petty project I definitely wouldn't invest my time, money and workforce.
That's why I believe community support is your best bet at remaking quake II
As much as i love Quake 2 ( Best Quake ever imo ) and as much as i think that the q2 community would love to see idsoftware making a remastered version of our favorite game, am 100% sure that this will never ever happen in the near future, lost faith in id already....
It's really good beggining, but I prefer Quake World remake with all these incredible duels on rocket launchers, REALLY fast paced and no fuckin' railguns.
They should remaster Q1, Q2, Q3 and Q4, and keep their respective physics in to one engine. All four games should be then packaged in to one and release it on a disk or Steam. The same way they did with Homeworld remastered.
