|
 |
New game from Id Software, Splash Damage and Activision.
Not much info about it except that it's a mix of class based action and classic quake action vs. Strogg.
Uses Id Softwares new technology called "MegaTexture".

Press release: http://www.fz.se/artiklar/article.php?id=896
Edit: some info from the press release.
| Quote: | | "For years, fans have enjoyed incredible battles on the Strogg home planet; but with ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS, we're taking players back to the war that started it all - the Strogg invasion of Earth - where the choice is to fight with the humans or the alien Strogg in a massive campaign for survival," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. |
| Quote: | | With realistic dynamic lighting and shadowing from headlights, searchlights and even the moon, battles can be fought during the day or night; while accurate simulation of the atmosphere, weather, and vegetation combine to create an unparalleled degree of realism. Battlefields are perfectly rendered using MegaTexture, a totally new rendering technology developed by id Software that crunches millions of polygons and a gigabyte-scale texture into a single, seamless and un-tiled landscape with unique detail down to the square inch or the un-obscured distant horizon. |
| Quote: | | ENEMY TERRITORY: QUAKE WARS will debut at this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo in Activision's booth #1224 in the South Hall. |

Wow, that looks good! If ID software is working on this game, so we can expect quality game, most important is a good multiplayer.

Last good game Id made was Quake.
Quake 2, Quake III:Arena, etc. have sucked male donkey genitals.

I'd agree, but I always thought Quake II was enjoyable - but don't ask me why, a lot of the reason rests on the atmosphere creating intro & music. After that, I was sold!
Other than those two though, ID have just farmed out crap.
The screenshot above looks MINDBLOWINGLY good. I'm drooling at the prospect of playing something that beautifully constructed.
But I was feeling the same towards DOOM III not that long ago. The end result was a mish mash of NOTHING. It was shit, plain and simple.
There was no passion or intensity in the game, instead of a claustraphobic, painfully tense game it was a piddly little no-nonsense (no nothing) shooter with plastic graphics.
Meh.
Hopes for this being anything more? ZILCHO.

Commander Keen, Wolfenstein, D1, D2, Q1, Q2, Q3.
I love most of their games, except for Doom 3, well I enjoyed playing through it, but it's not intended to be more than a horror singleplayer game.
It's all a matter of taste, but Carmack sets the standard.
Q1, the first FPS in true 3D.
GLQuake, the first game to support Glide/3dfx.
Q2, graphics never seen before.
Q3, same as Q2, people complained, said it didn't run on their mid-range PC's.
Doom 3, first FPS with real time lightning.
You might not like the games, but the fact is that Carmack sets the standards.

Q3 came out at the same time as Unreal Tournament, and Unreal Tournament had a much nicer engine that ran on more computer systems than Q3Arena.
Not only that but I prefer the UT style more. Both games are distinct in their mannerisms in a kind of way if you see what I mean.

I'm sceptic about this one :/
Can ANYTHING live up to RTCW and ET ?
Since same team that worked on ET is now working on QW, I pray to god it would be good : D

same thoughts here. But since ET is one of the best mp games to date, i m hot with anticipation  |

id has always had a problem with outdoor areas. even though the screen looks kickass, you can't tell the view distance or the map size, which has always been small compared to other engines. looks very nice, we will have to see...

Don't forget that that same team messed up the Single Player part of ET so much that id decided to scrap the project and release the Multi Player part for free.
Hopefully id will keep them on a tight leash and get this game on the right track.

mmm, I'm not sure there was supposed to be a SP. I know they wanted to release it for money, but decided to give it free, but because the great multiplayer.

Of course there was supposed to be Single Player.
http://pc.ign.com/articles/378/378423p1.html
Return to Castle Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. This new stand-alone expansion isn't just about the multiplayer though, there is a completely new squad based single player campaign that was also shown running for the first time last night.
id Software and Activision announced today they are canceling the retail release of Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. "Despite a strong effort from talented developers, the single player portion of the game did not progress as anticipated. Canceling the release was a difficult decision made in the best interest of the Wolfenstein franchise and fans. However, we remain excited about the progress and direction of Enemy Territory multiplayer. Over the next several months the focus of our development will be to complete the multiplayer portion of Enemy Territory and provide it as a free downloadable expansion to Return to Castle Wolfenstein".

I think that you are too hard on ID, they are one of the best in making games. |
at least best in making engines for fps fragfest games
Their single player experience often lacked a bit, but i still enjoyed every single game from id. But where they really shine is the multiplayer stuff and the modability of their games. They single handedly invented game modding really. Without id there would be no modding scenes and good community support imho |
