haha why would someone want to do a remake of Quake 3 in source?
Because it’s a classic game and it would look really cool on the Source engine?
Well, id DID release a web browser compatible, freeware version of Quake 3 called “Quake LIVE.” Perhaps that had something to do with why they shut down the mod. In id’s defense, bear in mind that they’re GPLing their engine techs. Wonder what will happen to the modding community when id Tech 4 gets GPLed.
Might be interesting to see what pops up. After all, check out “Nexuiz-” That game is running on modified id Tech 3 code and it’s graphics are actually quite competitive with other freeware engines like Saurbraten.
Activision are actually starting to make me sick with what they are doing in the name of $$$ https://www.joystiq.com/2010/03/04/ousted-infinity-ward-founders-file-suit-against-activision/ Bad for gamers everywhere.
Well, potentially this could mean that the Modern Warfare brand could become an independent entity if the founders of IW manage to win the case.
In which case, Activision would lose quite a sum of money and gamers could benefit quite a bit from having Infinity Ward as a free agent. After all, look what happened when Hideki Kamiya left Capcom. He made Bayonetta, which beat the hell out of Devil May Cry 4 in every possible way.
