Title: Quake 1 Epsilon Build
Post by: MadTux on 2014-04-25, 14:35
I just tried out Quake Epsilon Build (http://www.moddb.com/mods/quake-epsilon-build). That's the first time I've had the situation of not having good enough graphics to play quake 1 :P. It looks great, though.
It's interesting to see another set of hi-res Quake 1 weapons, and to compare them to the GenArena versions. I think I prefer the Epsilon shotguns, though that might change in v1.0, and part of the shaft (I don't like the roundness so much). I greatly prefer the v1.0 Generations axe though, and the Generations rocket launcher and nail guns. (The super nail gun feels nice somehow in quake 1 epsilon -- though not like the original, so ...). They have an interesting grenade launcher; you can see the grenade through the front, and it reloads, but I think the Generations one is better.
Still, after all that comparison, it's FUN, and wonderfully captures the old Quake 1 atmosphere that I love, especially with full lighting (which I can't use :()
