the only "quake" connection here is the distant technological derivation (Darkplaces) and the community talent involved. Despite the PR, this is not made for retro PCs at all, and wasn't intended to.
As for this stupid marketing bit
Capped at 666 fps, WRATH will melt your soul and your Voodoo 2... But it's okay. Software Rendering is supported!
note that there's actually a software renderer in darkplaces but it requires SSE2 and is intended for modern rendering approaches rather than "looking retro", so this is half true, and there's not actually a cap. The Voodoo2 still won't work however as its support was regressed long ago (Voodoo3s and up might still run it..... maybe. SDL2 use may make it uncertain.)
as for the game (despite its unfortunate retrosploitative marketing) this may tickle actual fancies around here. I know the developers involved aren't going for gratuitous 90s references and are more going for quality and passion, so that shows promise.
