Quake 1 (including Remastered) 53%
Quake 2 (including Remastered) 47%

Now, that the Quake 2 re-mastered is out. Which ones you guys prefer? I had a wow effect when I first played Quake 1 with the new elevated 3D graphics. But the game overall looked "brown" to me. Even John Carmack stated so. Quake 2 I would argue was a better game. I had started playing the expansion Reckoning about 7 years ago (beat the original Quake 2 on my GeForce 4 exactly 20 years ago ironically in the summer of 2003). So, it's good now that I can go back and play the expansion like the Reckoning since I didn't get too far into it with better graphics. As a Quake fan boy having played through all of Quake 1 - Quake 4 was really excited about yesterdays announcement.

Which one you prefer and why?

....now if only they ID did Quake 5.

Quake 2, I've played a while ago, and it's lore, aesthetic and soundtrack are a whole round experience.

Slightly prefer playing Quake, but Quake 2 is great too.

Really wish they'd be making Quake 5 right now instead of another Doom.

ID nailed it in this regard. Probably the best soundtrack from an ID game.

Yeah. We had already two new Doom games. I think there's something to be said going back to the Quake universe. But something tells me ID thinks another Doom game will sell well hence the lack of interest in another Quake game. Do note that the last Quake game Quake 4 was developed by Raven Software. While all the Doom games were developed by ID. I think ID considers Doom their baby and wants to continue.

I like em both. The N64 port of Quake 1 is terrible and ruined it for me but actually playing pc Quake is so much fun!

Quake 2 is also fun.

I'm not sure. I think I would prefer the first. This is possibly because of my life.
