Preis Update 15.12.22

Download Quake II RTX
Quake II RTX is fully ray-traced and includes the 3 levels from the original shareware distribution.

Game Description
Shortly after landing on an alien surface, you learn that hundreds of your men have been reduced to just a few. Now you must fight your way through heavily fortified military installations, lower the city's defenses and shut down the enemy's war machine. Only then will the fate of humanity be known.

About Quake II RTX
Quake II RTX builds on the work of Christoph Schied and the team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, who added ray tracing to Quake II to create Q2VKPT (in turn building upon the Q2PRO code base). NVIDIA has introduced new path-traced visual effects, has improved texturing, and has made dozens of other changes and improvements, resulting in an experience that rivals games created today, and pushes your RTX hardware to the limit.

Quake 2 RTX ist die optimierte Version für Besitzer von RTX Grafikkarten. Natürlich kann man Quake 2 RTX auch im Open GL Modus spielen, falls keine RTX fähige Karte vorhanden ist. Weil das Spiel kostenlos ist und die Grafik gut optimiert wurde, empfehle ich diese Version.

Selbst wenn man das RayTracing in den Optionen deaktiviert, weil man nicht die entsprechende Ausstattung besitzt, kann man Quake II RTX als kostenlose Demoversion für den alten Klassiker verwenden :D
Ich hab die drei kleinen Level in 20 Minuten durchspielen können. Zuerst war das Leveldesign etwas konfus, doch ich hab mich schnell einfinden können. Das Gunplay ist selbst heute noch erstaunlich flüssig. Als Jemand, der noch keinerlei Berührungspunkte mit Retro-Shootern hatte, bin ich erstaunlich positiv überrascht.

Quake forever!!!
Das Spiel auch heute noch so viel Spaß. Dank Raytracing bietet sich selbstverständlich eine ganz andere Perspektive als früher, jedoch ist noch immer genauso spaßig wie vor 20 Jahren.

Leider wurden jedoch die offiziellen Expansionpacks nicht integriert.

Mir ist zwar nicht ganz schlüssig, warum Quake 2 als Werbung für die RTX-Serie dient, aber als Quake Fan freue ich mich natürlich riesig.

Zwar nur kurz angezockt, aber wirklich sehr Schön gemacht!
Ich habe Quake 1 vor Jahren mal gespielt gehabt, aber wusste nie das ein zweiter Teil kam.
Mit Raytracing lässt sich das Spiel auf jeden Fall sehen!
Mit nem R5 2600 & einer RTX 2060S krieg ich auf den Höchsten Einstellungen in FullHD 80-120FPS mit RTX On.
Läuft also wirklich gut!

Das gute, alte Quake 2 - Grafisch aufgemotzt. Fast wie das Original, nur im neuen Gewand. Kein 15minuten-Intro mit Werbung und Warnungen wg Epilepsie etc... Spiel starten und Spaß haben. Grafische Effekte peppen das alte Spiel auf. Es wirkt nicht mehr alt, aber auch nicht ganz neu. Bei alten Spielen ist man oft Enttäuscht, daß man es anders (besser) in Erinnerung hatte... Bei diesem Spiel ist das nicht der Fall. Man hat das Gefühl das alte Quake 2 so zu spielen, wie man es ORIGINAL in Erinnerung hat.

I mean, it's Quake 2... Read all the reviews you want on it. You'd have to be a tasteless, over-opinionated pile of crap to not enjoy this game. In regards to the RTX aspect of it, surprisingly it looks very good. Typically, to me, high resolution low poly games just looks strange. However, adding advanced lighting into the mix does add a level of detail that meshes everything together very well. Photo mode is fun, too.

Pretty great RTX tech demo of Quake 2. Best reflections i have seen from RTX so far. The godrays were also good but the rest is plain old simple Quake. The free demo is pretty short and interesting at the very least. Would recommend if you have a RTX card to push it to your limit and enjoy the sights. The full game i personally wouldn't recommend since i don't like the franchise but i like the RTX stuff that is included.

It's Quake 2, but now it has fully path traced rendering and lighting.

Not much to say here. Quake 2 is one of the best shooters ever made, and the addition of ray-tracing is unique and impressive here.

The only caveat is that it significantly impacts the original art style - terrifying crimson skies now become more Earth-like yellow-to-orange sunsets. You can change the time of day and sun orientation as you wish (one of the perks of RTX, to be sure), but nothing matches the original art design. Of course, Q2's art design was nothing to write home about... but taking that and diluting it is not exactly improving upon the visual formulae.

Point is - it's a great experiment, worth trying out; a solid benchmark for your ray-tracing capable GPU (AMD GPUs are also supported) and a very fun romp if you want to see Q2 in a different light (literally!)

After 23 years after release this game still looks great with RTX on. It was pleasure to finish it once again, its not too long and not too complicated and for me those are advantages(I don't need 50h to see ending). The disadvantage is that you'll need at least 3060 (I have 3080) to play on QHD screens. Previously I had 2060 and there were framedrops from time to time.

Summary

Zitat:

This special release of Quake II includes the 3 shareware levels, but with extensively reworked graphics and codebase to make use of Nvidia's ray-tracing technology in their contemporary GeForce RTX 20 series of graphics cards. Quake II RTX is a cutting-edge, ray-traced reimagining of id software’s old school classic, by NVIDIA’s Lightspeed Studios. Global lighting effects, including realistic reflections, refraction, shadows, ambient occlusion and global illumination are a result of the path-traced simulation of light.

This is quite an experience. It feels like playing a video game from an alternate reality, one where in the 90's graphics cards couldn't push many polys or load large textures, but could do real-time ray tracing. It's a trip! The ray tracing really changes the experience for the better, and offers up an entirely new manner of experiencing this digital world.

I purchased the original Quake II port and then downloaded this RTX port. I don't even use ray tracing. I use the standard OpenGL renderer. Even without ray tracing, I think this is the best port of Quake II I've ever played. I recommend anybody who wants to experience Quake II (either with or without ray tracing) use the Quake II RTX port. You get to experience the complete game, but it looks and plays a little bit better than any other port that came before it. Even with ray tracing DISABLED and using the original graphics and lighting, this is the best looking version of Quake II I've ever seen (outside of non-official texture/lighting mods).
If you love Quake II or want to experience it for the first time, this is the best way to play it.

This game ran terribly on my GTX 1660, which was to be expected. However on a RTX 3060 the experience was quite playable, running at 70 - 80 FPS on average with fairly consistent frame times.

Overall the game looked quite nice, though the realistic lighting and old as hell models definitely made for a odd visual style. As a tech demo it's interesting, but that's about it.

Quake 2 RTX is a remastered version of Quake 2 where the main difference are the visuals. It puts a new coat of paint to the old game and presents it using path tracing, a ray tracing technique with no rasterization at all.
Any other game with ray tracing will use a combination of rasterization and ray tracing to render the in game world, because it’s the only way current hardware is able to play newer games at double digit framerates. In the case of Quake 2, a more than 20 year old game, path tracing rendering becomes a possibility. Because of this, Quake 2 RTX is the best showcase of raytracing that exists at the moment.
An Nvidia RTX card or AMD equivalent are mandatory to play it. Any other GPU won’t be able to run at an acceptable framerate, so better not even try it.

Now, Quake 2 wasn’t originally made with ray tracing in mind, so moding it to add ray tracing changes the way it feels compared to vanilla Quake 2. Often times the game is either much brighter or much darker than the original. If you are a purist, this will be a deal breaker and I wouldn’t recommend you try it, as you’ll most likely just see the disadvantages.
Fortunately for me I’m not a purist, in fact testing ray tracing was what pushed me to play Quake 2 for the first time, and I must say I really liked the game. Tried it for the novelty, finished it because I ended up enjoying Quake 2.

As a side note, this version of the game unfortunately shows how far we are from full path tracing games. The standard of 1080p@60 fps on gaming PCs, or even higher resolution and framerate on high end PCs, is not possible to achieve on this old game. We are on the second generation of RTX cards, will we need another 20 years for path tracing to become the standard rendering technique in games? Only time will tell, but in the meantime this is what we can get.

If you are able to play it with a good enough resolution and framerate, then I’d recommend to least try the demo to satisfy the curiosity of how ray tracing change how a game looks. It’s funny how a game from the past can give us a glimpse of the future.

I remember back in Dec 97 playing Quake 2 in software rendering on a p200 at 320x240, shortly afterwards I bought my first ever GPU; a 4mb Orchid Righteous 3DFX accelerator; a GPU so advanced that it didn't waste its clock cycles on 2D acceleration,

Quake 2 became an experience, 640x480, alpha mapping, good god, it was like stepping over a threshold into the future. truly a momentous occasion and one that turned me into a PC gamer for life.

22 years later and here I am again, Looking at the future with the same giddy excitement I had as a kid.

I was 21 when this game came out in the summer of 1997 and I remember having to upgrade from a p133 to a p2-450 and a Riva TNT to properly run it in Open GL/D3D. Great times were had for years. Now here I am, 45, running the same game on a recently purchased Nvidia 3080 and I am once again blown away by the new RTX mirror and lighting effects. Funny how this sort of thing happens.

I remember playing this game when i was a kid at 11 years old before needing to adult, when my little brother was still alive, man a lifetime ago. After 2020 and the CONSTANT barrage of negative and hate and misinformation and confusion that was brutally relentless, I accidentally discovered this on 1/5/21 and immediately downloaded it. Masterfully redone while not changing the old school look and feel. 1st 3 levels, hard mode, 15 minutes. I remembered every secret like i'd been playing it all along. If you like FPS games, THIS game defined the genre; it would NEVER have been the same without Quake 2.
Get it get it get it. It takes up no space and is just great. Jesus God almighty knows my soul needed an escape from this s show we are in, and for at least 15 minutes i got to leave this world and go back to when times were simpler. THANK YOU SO MUCH.

What a beaut...dynamic resolution scaling makes this playable at high frames on RTX 3080
Original resolution set to 4K. Minimum resolution scaling set to 60% with target FPS set to 70fps.

Majority of the game runs at 63% resolution for a stable 73fps, so that's essentially 1440p+ on a 3080 with rarely hardly any notable differences in visual quality.

Unreal 1 with RTX. Make it happen.

Damm them feels.. I use to play this game demo over.. and over.. again with my new PlayStation back in 2000 something.

This is demo with RTX support looks nice, but still feels like back then.

If you own/buy Quake 2 youll get whole game with RTX support.

Every fps veteran knows this is good game so im not gonna even review it.

P.S. You obviously need RTX graphics card for this. Not working with GTX cards.

First off I will say this is a pretty good tech demo for ray-tracing. That being said, lets get into what I need to stress the most...

Check the graphic settings before starting! Not joking! I'm running a 2070 RTX Super, and like most users with similar builds I was getting roughly 25 FPS on startup in game. After roughly 30 minutes of gameplay I decided to check the graphic options for a good laugh. That's when I realized the game by default was trying to push a 4k resolution! Crazier still, for some reason, my old ass 8 year plus 1920*1080 60Hz monitor allowed all this to happen without somehow giving itself an aneurysm. Needless to say once I set the specs to match my monitor I got a solid 60 FPS across the board while playing.

Other than that I mean it's Quake 2. You've either played it, lived under a rock, or you're super young. lol

Building a new PC, but I couldn't resist putting my new 3080 FE into my old system while I wait for parts to arrive. With an i5 6500 and a 3080 FE I'm getting 65-75 FPS with all settings maxed at 1440p. Fun little tech demo, nostalgic to revisit Quake 2 as well! Note that you only get the shareware version if you don't buy Quake 2 for $5. Still good enough for playing with RTX though.

RTX OFF: 1000+ FPS
RTX ON: low 60s FPS (lowest dip was to 57 FPS for a brief moment in combat)

Does look a bit better tho

Edit: I found a way to increase the framerate; in Video settings go to resolution scaling settings and turn on dynamic resolution scaling. That bumped me up from 40-60 FPS to a constant 60 FPS.

Amazing venture to wrap the game in RTX instructions. Bummer at first when only ray-tracing cards from nVidia could run it.Fortunately nVidia enabled non-RTX cards to run the game on the latest 451 driver. I played it on GTX 1060 6G on dynamic resolution scaling with 1080p and desired framerate 60fps. If you want 60 fps on that card (the lowest that can run it acceptable) then the scaling will be quite abrupt. Try 30fps for less abrupt scaling. I do own an 2060 Super but the gist is that anybody with RTX can run it and I'm looking for that retro feeling when I played Quake 2 first on software rendering on a S3 Trio with 10MB onboard :D

This game is a classic that still holds up well. Thanks to the RTX enhancements, it actually looks pretty great, too.

+ Lots of weapons. All of them are fun to use.
+ Decent number of enemy types. It feels like every level has at least one or two new enemies.
+ The level design is decent. I played this alongside Turok 2, and the contrast was stark. I was so grateful that Quake II's level design isn't brutally obtuse.
+ Fun, the way games used to be. You move quickly, you don't have to watch animations, guns fire really fast, you don't have to reload. Nothing ever gets between you and having a good time.
+ Game looks good, especially with the RTX enhancements.

- Thanks to the raytracing, you'll probably be able to run it at 40fps max. It's not too distracting, though.
- You can't play the expansions with this version of the game.

All in all, definitely worth a purchase, especially if you're in the mood for a classic FPS that still holds up today.

The nostalgia is strong with this one. The only thing I really miss is the music, but a patch added that. I just had to find the soundtrack in OGG format and put it in /Quake II RTX/baseq2/music.

I'm playing this with an Asus 1080Ti Strix OC gaming card. I might not be getting the full experience because to get a playable framerate I have to crank things way down to 800x600 or so. I avg about 40 fps there. But you know, that's about what my experience was when this was new and I was in college anyway.

I can't *not* recommend Quake 2. But that's more because of what it means to me personally. It's a good time. Worth the $5. You'll get more out of this than a big mac at McDonalds, you know?

For those that have Videocards with Ray tracing (like the RTX 2060 SUPER 8G i have) It's fun to see the current technology evolve and change. Its a Great first step in making Hyper-realistic real time rendered worlds with ray tracing. Now the next step is to make a game work entirely with ray tracing physics, with detailed geometry and textures. The current generation of Ray tracing is, in my opinion, to show off this technology, while using old, and not so detailed games and making them look polished and brand new, which, yes, it worked splendidly. Extremely Low poly games like Minecraft and Quake's lighting can be entirely swapped with ray traced light and it looks amazing on both games. I cant wait to see the technology's evolution in the future! I definitely recommend trying the trial! And even buying Quake 2 to play the entire thing with Ray tracing!

Edit: If you are one of the missinformed people, that didn't read the Minimum system requirements, the 1080ti does a horrible job with ray tracing, so does the 1660ti. Because they have no ray tracingcores.
This game does need the Ray tracing cores to run. Keep that in mind before making a review.

Comparison:
1080ti or 1660ti - 15 or so FPS
RTX 2060 SUPER - 40-44 fps (4k = 13fps)

Just make sure you download the original music (google it) as Quake 2 on Steam comes without it.
The RTX version has full support for music though;)

Also, play the demo, but buy the full game after (it's less than 4£ now). Totally worth it!

Fantastic game, pure FPS with amazing graphics. The latest patch (Nov 2019) has significantly improved the graphics and framerate, the latter thanks to dynamic resolution. I found it's best to reduce the brightness in the settings a little to make it more like the original release. The complaints about the art direction are understandable, I think it's best to consider this version a re-interpretation of the game's art. It can be genuinely disappointing going back to non-RTX games.

Highly recommended if you enjoyed Quake II or never played but enjoy FPS games. Make sure to add in the original soundtrack, it adds a lot to the game.

I seem to have fallen out of love with Quake II over the last few years, but now, the RTX Version of Quake II Changed that. If you have the full game, you can play the entire thing with RTX if you have the campaign which is awesome. So how does the game run and look in RTX?

It runs well I suppose but, my god IT'S SO DAMN BEAUTIFUL!

The water effects, the lighting, the reflections all amazing and it made me incredibly immersed in a two decade old game. The game with my RTX 2070 ran at a constant 30 FPS which is actually not too shabby. I expected way worse results. Of course, performance differs on what card you have.

I highly suggest if you have Quake II or if you want to try the shareware version and have an RTX Card to try this out. It looks bloody amazing and it's free! It's an amazing looking game and it runs okay too! I highly recommend this version to fans of the vanilla Quake II and RTX Fanatics.

Now you too, can experience what it was like to run Quake II at sub 30fps on a Riva 128 or Rage II, but this time in the year 2020 with da RAY TRACING.

RTX 2070 can do this at 50-70fps @ 1080p : 30ish @ 1440p : Slide Show at 4k.

Kinda sad tho, poster child here for Raytracing but the game is from the late 90's very low poly and texture usage is almost zero by today's standards, and it utterly struggles to run it, on a GPU with 10's of billions of transistors.

1999. I got this game for my 14th birthday. Best gift ever. Soundtrack is still in my playlist
2000. I visit computer clubs every week to endure 12-hour Quake II deathmatch marathons.
2001. My classmate and I decide to settle a feud via a duel at Q2DM1. Whoever wins gets to date a particular girl we both liked. I won 21 - -2, that girl decided to date some other guy though. Well, at least I won.

2020. I am thinking to myself: If anyone told me back in 1998 that:

1) I would still play this game
2) It would still put my gaming PC on its knees

I would have never believed.

Well, little did I know. I do play it, and my RTX 2060 can barely spit 60 FPS out of its guts.

A true masterpiece.
