Quake 4 fans, here is something for you today. Modder ‘y2keeth’ has released Version 3.1 of his Hi-Def Mod for Quake 4. This is a must-have mod for everyone that wants to replay this id Tech 4-powered Quake game, and we highly recommend downloading it.
For those unaware, Quake 4 Hi-Def attempts to overhaul the game’s graphics by improving its textures and 3D models. Moreover, V3.1 adds full shadow map files.
Quake 4 came out in 2005 and was using an enhanced version of the “Doom 3 Engine“. To be honest, though, I always found its graphics inferior to Doom 3. I don’t know why, but I was never impressed by Quake 4. Still, it was a cool first-person shooter, at least for its time.
y2keeth is also the man behind Doom 3 BFG: Hi-Def Mod and Prey “HD Remaster”. Thus, we also suggest downloading these mods for these games.
You can download this latest version of Q4 Hi-Def from here. Below you can also find some screenshots, as well as a gameplay video that showcases the mod in action.
Have fun!

I will give this mod a try when I replay Quake 4. For me it’s a fun game. I don’t really care about the graphics that much though. When I replay the game every few years I know that I’m playing a game from 2005 so I don’t expect the latest and greatest graphics anyway.
Seeing as how Quakecon is coming up next month, I really hope id reveals a brand new Quake title.
Quake IV remastered
Could much more likely be Q2 remastered according to the Korean leak.
i like it
There were some words about a new Quake in development, but it is probably going to be sh!t, since they are going to make it for consoles also. So, probably crippled movement and slow-paced with aim-assist and cross-play and such
Quake is forever a PvP MP brand now. If they do announce Quake it’ll be something like “Quake Arena… this time with Extraction game mode!”
I’d really consider going back and playing this, but not at 60 fps capped. Edit: I see “Quake 4 tweaker” came into existence since I last looked this up to fix the fps cap without speeding up the game.
thanks again
there will be another live stream here july 8th 12pm

Don’t waste your time with this mod, it is broken. Versions 3.0, 3.1 and 3.2 are all giving me black and white textures in lots of places (RTX 3080). Version 3.0 onwards have been taken down (and the patches did not work for me). The author is working on a 3.3 version…
