Id has been repackaging the same three games for too long now, I have a hard time getting excited about yet another version of Quake. Maybe Rage will be pretty good, but my hopes aren’t high. IMHO, Valve has a much better and more exciting catalogue and they’ve earned my trust as a consumer. I haven’t been excited about an id product *since* Q3.

IMHO, Quake3 killed the genre. With the perfection come no evolution.

Any Idea when they will give out more invitations? I’m sick of spamming multiple addresses into the website.

If anyone is willing to invite me, I’ll be very happy!

Just when you think you’ve got over your addiction, they pull you back in.

I don’t think I’ll go back to playing, losing one job because of staying up late all night, every night, to play Quake 3 is enough. I think I spent almost 4 years of constant playing, with only brief timeouts for Half-Life and such games

for clarification: the stats system/buddy system/rankings/server browser, etc, are all in browser. The actual game is a windows executable (spawned from the browser) just like any decent videogame. JC is quoted as saying that they barely had to touch any of the original Q3 codebase except in a few sparse areas, so the original fast-paced Q3 feel will be preserved. The maps, 30 of them, are all touched up originals from Q3A & Team Arena, all the old favorites.

The big deciding factor will be whether they’ve captured the smooth gameplay of Q3. Sure, it’s got the looks, but if it lacks the balanced motion and weapon mechanics of Q3, it may not make big waves.

Battlefield will win, because most people are noobs.

Most people will always look for new things… No matter how grand a video game, or a show on TV is, interest will wither for most and developers and channels will have to come up with something new to catch their attention.

Perhaps after all this time it’s about time for a comeback, but perhaps with all the other DM games we’ve had through the years, it’s not time yet.

Well of course I agree with you. I fire up old games all the time. I even play vs Q3 bots every once in a while. But sales and usage stats disagree. If Q3 is such an excellent game that it’s still a competitor with modern games, then why is it no longer selling? And is “free” a big enough offset to whatever the reason is?

A decade old game with excellent gameplay is still a game with excellent gameplay. Graphics are secondary to good gameplay. Hell, Quake 1 (or quakeworld) is still a good game even if you play it at 320×240 256 colours on a pentium 1.
