Just an update. They return a lot of cutted animations in the remaster. Berserker now rocks.

It rocked too much, lol! Gotta try the update whenever I can. Haven't played Q2 because Real Life kept me quite busy.

Great to see most of these added back in for the Remaster

The rolling animations of the flyers were used in the Ground Zero expansion pack during the Carrier bossfight. It sometimes summons "kamikaze flyers" that use that exact animation when they charge at you

These models are pretty metal I couldn't really tell when I was gibbing them

The berserker would some much more threatening if it had a running club and a slam stack.

Berserker is scary enough

If I remember right, the Berserker's DO duck in the N64 version!

The mutant still reminds me of the fiends from Quake 1.

There was an unused Power Screen inventory pick-up in 3.05, also the were screenshots of unused items in the descrption html directory - like Goggles (later appeared in Ground Zero) and Invis.

Imagine what will had came out if Quake2 had Full another Year to Develop....

Great vid, very interesting. Still playing quake to this day.

Just finished the q2 for the first time a few days ago! And I must admit I absolutely love this game!

daaaaamn some of the cut things are such great ;s like berserker attacks or floaters' "activating" animation or flyers' rolls and banks, or parasite "stuck leech" -_-

9:52 Super tank vibing with the music

Would have loved to see barrel rolling flyers in the final game!

The flare gun's actually been re-added into the game through the Quake 2 RTX port. Because of how lighting works with ray tracing some areas have become nearly pitch black in the RTX version, so they put the flare gun in to act as a light source.

A lot of stuff is nowhere near the intended vision IMO - many of the enemy ended up with generic blaster attacks for instance that were originally animated for and partially programmed for a much bigger range of types of weapons such as the floater which was originally intended to have a range of electric attacks - not exactly like but along the lines of this: kzread.info/dash/bejne/jJ6kqbWbhqSwddI.html There is extensive extra programming for most of the monsters that is sitting there unused due to being only 40-60% completed - the parasite animation for trying to break free for instance is partially implemented in code but unused.

The Bony Gib is probably leftovers from Quake 1... the zombie throws it at you.

I thought the flyers already did the roll when taking damage...?

Most of those cut animations would have made awesome attacks and the monsters themselves would have been even harsher than what they ended up becoming.

I think the nuke was used as a weapon in the quake 2 ground zero multyplayer.One can get the nuke and place it in the level and has 30 sec to run to the other side of the map,preferebly sitting in top of a health box as he looses health.

good

the quake 1 and quake 2 model texture layout is extremely bad, apparently uv mapping was in its infancy at the time

It's a real shame they didn't use these animations, the game would be much better if enemies like the Berserker or Brain had these extra attacks and didn't appear virtually harmless to a skilled player. I also love the physics-simulating animations of the flying enemies, they would feel a lot more lively if they were implemented! Not to mention the tank being able to defend itself when the player is circles strafing him.
