Now that’s hilarious. We all know how most FPS games got dumbed down over the course of the past few years but watching a classic fast-paced FPS, like Quake, being remade by today’s standards is funny as hell.

This is what is really wrong with the game industry and we are thankful that there are still developers like Croteam. The video was spotted by Rage3D’s user, Ego. Enjoy everyone!

The end result is astounding, so make sure to check these screenshots after the jump. Continue reading This is what a next-generation version of Quake 3: Arena could look like→
