Thing about the shambler is it was so low resolution that most people who played the game didn't know or remember that it was supposed to be hairy or anything.. it's mostly us hardcore quake players who realized this. Mostly what everyone saw was just a white bear type creature with blood on its face\hands. I didn't even know it was hairy for the longest time I thought it was hairless and the white was the pale skin. 
If they don't make a good shader for it the fur may end up looking too much like down\fluffy making the shambler look too cuddly.
Anyway, the way I saw Quake 1 was very much like the cardboard foldup "jewel case" that it shipped in when I had orderered it via mail order. The whole feeling of the artwork on the box reminded me of nine inch nails with the brown\rusty nails photography. Sort of like nine inch nail's closer music video. The key word for me is rustic..... and I almost fear that since people complain about all the brown especially in quake they might want to make it too bright\colorful.
Although part of what made the old game so brown was the restricted pallet and mono lights as evidenced by running Quake in darkplaces with the latest real time lights and high res assets which aren't restricted but still fit the Mise en sc�ne. Nothing in there should be clean or new even the tech.
Still Rage while being brighter than Doom 3 isn't candy land so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt until I can see some concrete stuff come from them rather than just the idea they may go in the direction of making a quake 1 style Quake V. If they do a reboot rather than a remake they may only loosely base it on Quake 1 though. To me
Reboot = loosely based; Doom 3 was a reboot of the original doom not really a sequel although they numbered it as such.
remake = more faithful to the original.
Either way there'll probably be changes.
