Why should you get excited about HTML5? Because it lets you run Quake II in your browser without any plug-ins.
The video above, which will work in any HTML 5 compatible browser shows just what is possible.
For those really having a geeky moment, in the port, they use WebGL, the Canvas API, HTML 5 elements, the local storage API, and WebSockets to demonstrate the possibilities of pure web applications in modern browsers such as Safari and Chrome.
Enjoy the free game entirely made from scratch by AI.
A brilliant standard setter for remasters and re-releases going forward, Quake 2 feels like a love letter to one of the grandfathers of boomer shooters.
Tried the Quake 2 multiplayer on PS4: for a couple of hours last night
Had a lot of fun .
Remasters don't get much better than this. Kudos, Nightdive Studios!
THIS is a remaster. In every way possible. But more importantly in the place that matter most, the gameplay department. The controls feel so much better than the original and it lets the game shine in ways it never did. The shooting is more responsive and the movement much tighter. It also tone down the sliding feeling and the weird Mouse look movement. It just works.
I played the QuakePro mod and while it did good things I found the original gameplay was still quite cumbersome. Not anymore bay bay. This things is near perfect.
NOW I can see why some consider this game better than Quake 1. NOW I see it.
...And it might just be.
Sick ass game fr
No battle pass, no skill trees, just your gun and your strafing ability. Pure gaming fun.
Impressive! Tellin you folks, HTML 5 is the future.
How long before Firefox support HTML 5?
and we will have PS2/Xbox style graphics in browser o_o
Legendary game. It was my first game I played online to.
What's wrong with Flash or Java? :|
