Quake Done Quick 720p

Quake Done Quick speedrun of the first two episodes of Quake, with some fancy-dancy texture and engine improvements.

This is brilliant. Some serious skill displayed here... I used to know every single map in Quake but it has been so long since I played it...

Even better is Quake Done Quick 100%. I probably should've sifted that one instead.


I think QDQ 100% gets tedious and doesn't have the elegance and frenetic pace of these speed runs.

I liked the colored lighting that had been added to this version of the game, I didn't really notice the other improvements but I'm sure it would have looked worse without them.

The sharpened textures and coloured lights made my eyes strain. Not a fan.

I always liked regular muddy brown GLQuake along with the re-vis'd transparent water maps.

I remember following Quake Done Quick and Quake Done Quicker when they were being worked on. Great stuff. I remember being amazed when they skipped sections where gates normally closed by making sure monsters were there, so the the closing routine didn't work properly.

Mostly this brings back fond memories of Quake 1 Capture The Flag... my first real multiplayer experience with more than 1 person. I got quite good playing Q1CTF with just the keyboard, aside from the occasional CTRL-ALT-DEL key combo (trying to shoot, strafe, and look down at the same time I think). Eventually I had to force myself to switch to a keyboard/mouse combo, which felt very unnatural at first.

Yeah, this was entirely done without cheats. I actually have my old moniker credited (DooMfienD) for some planning work and a stage I ran (e4m3) on Quake done Quick lite. You would not BELIEVE the work that goes into getting these maps done fast. www.Speeddemosarchive.com is the place to go if you're looking for the forums for the QdQ guys.

I was going to say - Quake Done Quickest (IIRC) was really cool because it was all from those dynamic camera angles (not 1st person). Still, great sift!

I was familiar with Quake Done Quicker, but I don't think I'd ever watched Quake Done Quickest before. The entire game in 13:49. Wow.

i start to feel sorry for the NPCs. i just imagine them talking to each other at the end:

Ogre: "Guys, what the fuck just happened?"
Shambler: "That was just embarassing, did anyone hit him?"
Death Knight: "I did!"
Shambler: "That was me you dick. Remember? That's why i started trying to claw your eyes out."
Death Knight: "Oh, yeah. In my defense he wasn't fighting fair like normal, he kept bouncing around like a fucking douche."
A voice comes in over the loud speakerphone: "Player1 has scored a new record!"
Ogre: "Shit, Chthon is gonna be pissed."
Death Knight: "Fuck Chthon! My wife is gonna kill me, im on a performance based contract."
