Quack 2: Back in Action

[A Black Falcon]

Yeah, a FPS is going to be better with mouse and keyboard and I don't have digital Q2 for PC (I have it physical, jewelcase only) so I don't have a copy that will auto-upgrade to the new release, and I definitely prefer playing FPSes with mouse when possible, but... I want to be able to play it in 4k on my TV too, so for now I got the Xbox version.  I'll get it for PC also eventually.  My computer is not 4k, so would there be that much of a point of buying a remaster that mostly upgrades the visuals above the resolution my PC outputs?  Sure, it also comes with a few more campaigns, I don't have any of the Q2 addons for PC, which is why I'll buy it for PC eventually, but still despite the controls my first thought was towards console because of the resolution and screen.

Anyway, I corrected the name drop I got mixed up there.  Speaking of Tom Hall, Nightdive also did a wonderful remaster of Rise of the Triad (Ludicrous Edition) which has.... everything.

Oh right, that released recently for PC.  It's coming to consoles but isn't out yet. That's a game I've owned a digital release of (but not on Steam) for a long time, but as much as I love Tom Hall's '90s work I only ever played a few levels of it.  It's definitely something I should play a lot more of so yeah I'll get some version of this remaster for sure if it adds much.

It's sad how Tom Hall mostly stopped making great games after the '90s, his work then was so amazing but since he's done almost nothing of note...
