Quake Releases Slave Zero X Prelude 'Episode Enyo' As A Free Add-On

so this is a new mod for a 28 year old game, that is a prequel to another game that hasnt come out yet, which itself is a planned prequel to a game that came out 24 years ago for dreamcast, that I literally haven't heard mention of since until now.

What a cool thing for them to release! Guess that's what I'm about to do.

A)THAT IS CORREEEECT!
B)Played Slave Zero on the dreamcast. Weirdly enough, it was pretty fun from what I remember.

@betterthanvegas

yeah it was a one weekend rental for me, but i was happy to literally be playing anything on my new dreamcast 🙂

i dont remember it being terrible though, either. 👍

@-wc- When we had ours we had a 2k game, Slave Zero, Guts Beserk's Rage, the jewel game that came with the system I think, and one more crazy game. Thinking back now, the 1st party games being broken (wheeeeeeeew Sonic) and the 3rd party games being non-existent or just plain bizarre makes me think the Dreamcast was never going to make it. How sad.

Plus it's coming out with a physical copy too. At least it the UK, not sure about the rest of the world to be fair.

The most I’ve never heard about it was in the mid 00s in regards to it supposedly using bump mapping on the Dreamcast.

I like that Bethesda provides so many mods for DOOM and Quake. These games keep up giving. You can get these games very cheap and you get so much out of it! Kudos to Bethesda

The mod is really fun and feels like an entirely different shooter like Sin. Unfortunately I've had several crashes, apparently due to running out memory according to the error message.

Love the music and gameplay in this add on. It's fun stuff! I do hope the next Nintendo console can play light stuff like this at 120fps like PS5 and Series X and S!

Wow, this actually looks more promising than Slave Zero X.

Hold up! Is that what Quake looks like? My goodness, that looks amazing! Very clean graphics.

I’ll buy it today. Looks great

Neat. I just realized I have like 10 other add-ons I never downloaded along with never even finishing the base game.

It has crashed on me multiple times though. Apparently I can play Overwatch 2 just fine but the poor switches memory can't handle retro boomer shooters.

Sadly it's crashing a lot, usually when loading the next level. Otherwise I'm having a lot of fun with it.

@Daniel36 you haven't played Quake?

@LikelySatan Nope. Never was a huge shooter fan and Wolfenstein and Doom (and by extension Quake) were far too violent for my taste. Only ever dabbled and decided no.

I've played Doom 3 for a few minutes years later, but other than that, nothing of these franchises.

Though I was infatuated with Unreal Tournament for a fair while. I was well known in the low grav instagib games.

@Daniel36 that's unfortunate. It ain't perfect, but they cobbled together something legendary in its fraught development. Like Mario World or Sleeping Dogs.

Boomer shooters and Nintendo games are what a i ***** live for man LETSS GOO! this is so cool! thanks to whoever made this idk if its id or a modder but whoever you are thank you!

Why the hell does everyone keep calling Slave Zero a Dreamcast game when it was designed for PC? The DC version was both significantly worse and forced the PC version to be delayed for concurrent release, meaning it what was fresh and impressive wasn't as impressive after the delay and seriously hurt the game's sales.

Tried it, I like the art design and music a lot, it's fun to play, through buggy, particularly on Switch, it'd seem. Crashes when loading levels a lot, seems to be a memory leak problem since the probability of it happening increases with time. Found a missing texture, too.

If you're having problems with blurriness (eg. the copyright notice at the start of the first level being unbearable), turn off additional effects, mainly Ambient Occlusion, Motion Blur and Anti aliasing, since the Switch port of Quake drops resolution to maintain framerate. Starting with level 3 (with the difficulty selection level being level 1), you might consider dropping Depth of Field and Dynamic Shadows too, since the maps get rather expansive and complicated then. Dynamic Shadows suck in this mod anyway, they are pretty much generated only when firing and the submachine guns cast really weird shadows.

They really need to port the OG Slave Zero to switch.
