First vid is of a new map made in Quake 1. It was recently released and called the Forgotten Sepulcher featuring 60,000 brushes compared to the max of 1000 in the original game. Very impressive.

This vid is of a light tracing / rasterizer project in quake 2, looks pretty nifty! You might have your nostalgia goggles on if you think Q2 looked anywhere this good when it came out.

Very interesting indeed. I must look into this further as it hit a nostalgia nerve

Awesome Q1 map
Really like Q2 in mostly white, too.

Cool. I follow sock in Twitter so I've seen pictures of it but not in action. Danse Macabre fits really well with Quake. It would be cool with music like that that changed dynamics with your actions. I guess Quake is pretty much all action though.

sock is a helluva mapper. Q1 had a 1,000 brush limit? jesus christ
That quake2 vid was silly but it made me load up the old sonic mayhem sound track.

I actually got quite nostalgic watching the Q2 vid. The tech they're using to make a very old game look like that is actually fairly impressive I find. I think people that don't simply don't understand how much better that looks than original Q2. Running that tech on a PC that was meant to run Q2 back in the day would be impossible.

Light tracing not possible on a DX2 66 you say? No shit.

It's not just light tracing going on there. And yes, you could possibly run it and then watch it crash instantly but that's not really running it is it?

It wouldn't run because it needs a GPU, but you already knew that right.

That's not necessarily true. With the right drivers a CPU could run it, in theory, but it wouldn't be powerful enough and ultimately crash or take an eternity to run a few frames. I assumed you were being pedantic as you tend to be.

That first map looks to be inspired by Overkill which was a great Quake 3 map, and also in Quake Live:
