2/18/2024 0 Comments Quake remaster gog![]() I remember another interview where he mentions basically the same, but with "he had to agree, we had to agree" wording, but I can not find it right now. ![]() This interview has Tim Willits talking about it, regarding contract from 36:00 and about soundtrack in general at 34:30. They are from several very long talks or interviews. What are the sources for these quotes? Could you share some links and maybe even add all of it to (currently read-only due to vandalism)? Since Interscope Records now belongs to Universal Music Group, almost as soon as Reznor released Quake OST, it got into some copyright database and automated youtube algorithms started flagging and taking down even some of the very old gameplay videos, but I think this is not happening anymore. This allowed Reznor to release Quake soundtrack on 2xLP and as a download, and (I assume) all future releases of Quake, like Quake Enhanced in 2021, to have music in digital format included. ![]() So I guess they reviewed and reworked the contract, as Willits said (paraphrasing) "he had to agree, we had to agree, so we sorted this out". Steam has WinQuake and GLQuake and GOG version uses DOSBox if I remember correctly.Īccording to Tim Willits, Reznor contacted him when Willits was still one of the higher-ups at id Software to work something out because he was doing the NIN reissues. There's no point in providing music in MP3/OGG format for Steam or GOG versions anyway, since none of them support playback of these formats. I don't know the reasons for it, but Steam does not distribute game CD images, while GOG apparently can - the way the music works in the later GOG version is that package has 3 CD ISOs with all original data and music tracks as well. Originally GOG version didn't have music either, even though GOG almost always supplies game's soundtrack in MP3 format as a bonus. When Steam came around, since it's a digital distribution platform, they can't provide MP3s or something like that because of that original contract clause. But back then in 1996 it was fine and good enough. Apparently, this was imposed by Interscope Records, owner of Trent's vanity label Nothing Records. According to John Romero and Tim Willits, the original contract had the condition that the music NIN did for Quake could be distributed only only on CD (Red Book specs).
