Remember the Quake 4 in Quake 2 Demake we shared last month? Well, modder TheMrBenpulido is back with a similar mod for the first Quake game. As the title implies, this mod demakes all of the Quake 4 levels for id Software’s classic Quake game.
In order to recreate these levels, the modder used assets from the first Quake. The modder also used enemies from the first Quake in order to replicate some of Quake 4’s boss encounters. Additionally, you can expect Quake 3 music on some maps, as well as a new graphical interface.
The result is retro-cool, and I’m certain that a lot of old-school fans will find this cool.
You can download the mod from here. Do note though that you will need Darkplaces or QuakeSpasm in order to play it.
Have fun!

I like it that you post info about new mods out there, but this is beyond terrible.
This is an awful mod that is nothing more than a cash grab playing on people’s nostalgia, asking for paypal donations yet using other people’s work
Horrible mod, one of the worst I’ve played, ever. Played with chunky vanilla graphics, because that’s the way I like it. Btw Q1 HD packs are crap, every time i see it I want to puke. Ok Ok, Back to the mod…. maps are very very simple and very very linear, “box room” after a “box room”, no challenge even on highest difficulty, extremely boring. Autor is probably not familiar with the quake1 map design fundamentals, and yet, first thing when you start the START map he is asking for paypal donations. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not against mod donations, but this mod is just ….. terrible. In comparison I’ve played waaay better Q1 map made by a 9 Year-Old girl.
Update: Also important to mention, after some pak digging, pak is containing a lot of maps created by other authors from speedmap sm191 and sm204 packs, that are not the part of the main Q4inQ1 campaign. I wonder if he got the permission to use and repack those maps….
“The result is retro-cool, and I’m certain that a lot of old-school fans will find this cool.” – No John, it is not cool, also it is really scummy to ask paypal donations and include other authors maps in the package (probably without their knowledge or permission).
Would this technically be possible to come as a mod to the new Quake remaster? Apologies if this is a stupid question.
What exactly is Quake 4 about this mod?
