yeah, just witness what's happened with Quake and it's engine and graphic 'enhancements'

In two days, I'm moving house. And at the moment, that means that access to internet is going to be problematic.

Apparently the house has no cable connection; it's too far away from an exchange for DSL, and no wireless broadband services exist here. So goodbye on-demand internet.

Depending on what Saturn technicians say, we may keep the connection, or just declare "stuff it" and go back to dialup (argh.) I've no idea how long it'll take to work this problem out, but anyway it means I may be incommunicado for a few days... or weeks.

Oh well. I've still got a day or so to blather at you if I wish, and plenty of Q3 maps and Q1 and Unreal mods, but I thought you guys should know that I won't be around for a while. 

I hope it all works out for ya dude :D 

I hope we can get cable service here - and no ugly black coax running atop the sideboards either. The olds have come to like the idea of being able to hop on the internet whenever they please and still receive phone calls. 

Hope you have a smooth move man. GL on the internet business, perhaps not having it will give you an excuse to map a little while you're gone. 

Grenade launcher with everything man! 

We need more games like this.

I know a few people here are savvy when it comes to php coding, and I am asking for your assistance with religion quake.

> whats religion quake u arsetard!?

its a Quake 1 review site I started working on years ago with paul & his brother that uses PHP. It covers Quake 1 dm & sp and perhaps mods too, unfortunately pauls brother is too busy to finish the php so im stuck :(

> Whats required for this RQ u fuquer!?

Well, basicly I want a php driven site where reviewers need to know 0% html as they can just stick reviews and pics onto the site using a form. Users can create accounts and post comments & user reviews of each map/modd reviewed on the site, and also give each map a rating out of 5. I was thinking of some sort of small forum style thing for it also, but Im not sure how useful that would be as func_qmap_msgboard_etc does a fine job atm.

> Where how and when u arseface?

The current URL is http://www.planetquake.com/religionquake/ . I have a basic site design done in html with all required graphics, but I was thinking about getting some better designer/art person to have a go at the site also.

> Ok, so sum it all up u flash git!

PHP coder needed, web graphic dude needed, will be paid in respect and evennings along with cardo in his trailer. If someone wants to help and php gets worked on, I may need reviewers as well (a few have already stepped forward ages ago, not sure if they are still interrested).

So, can anyone help?

Additional : I told RPG that me+Tronyn's map pack "TNJ" will be finished if RQ can get finished, so there is a little bit of inspiration there too =) 

I think you would get bored of it pretty fast. That trailer features an unusually uninspired level. Cool metaphors can't make up for bad level design. 

GomJabbar already agreed to do the PHP code! And Von is doing the site design!

But if you want Flash whiznuts, you'll have to talk to ELEK. 

I have to agree with pushplay; the level design doesn't look very interesting. Plus all the characters seem to have the same animations, although that may be because it's shot from the beta. Gameplay doesn't look particularly interesting either, but videos usually don't capture the essence of the gameplay very well.

I quite like the cartoon style of that and similar games, but that's not enough to get me to look past the other problems the game seems to have. 

do we get a night w/ cardo? 

Von's doing the design, that's cool. I'd of offered elsewise. But Von will do skimpy-good-looking site and thats better. 

von does general design, Phait does logos and submission moves, or something 

...because we all know team efforts get things done a lot quicker and more efficiently... 

Sorry, I don't do under-the-desk work.

Now if you meant submission movies a'la gameplay demos recorded... erm. Me? 

really? Well maybe it would have been a good idea to tell me? :D

I have a file with all the shit I would like, whats Goms e-mail address?

If your pulling my leg then I delete tnj right now =) 

then why didnt you join my mod team? it's got 150+ weapons 

 

And I quote from Todd H's .plan...


IT'S DONE!!!!!!!

Yes, this is the official word that DOOM 3 has been code released and has been approved for manufacturing! It won't be long now until the anticipation ends and the PH34R begins ;-) We literally just hung up with Activision and have confirmed that our latest release candidate has been mutually approved and is finally GOLD. Thanks to everyone for their patience (yeah right! =) and for everyone at id, Activision and our numerous partners for helping us create what I believe is absolutely the best game we have ever made.

So, the next question is release dates. Retailers in the States will be allowed to pick up games starting at 12:01 AM on August 3rd. The official street date is actually August 5th in the U.S.A., but some of your favorite stores will probably have it early for those of you who have to have it first. Check with your local retailer for that information.

Internationally, the game will take a few more days to make it to the store shelves. The UK will probably get it first, on or about August 6th. Everywhere else will probably be Friday, August 13th (que Twilight Zone Theme) or close to that date, with just a few exceptions (e.g. Russia and Poland). This isn't because we don't have love for you folks outside the U.S., but the localization and manufacturing process takes a bit longer outside the U.S. where we will have JVC run 24/7 to get the units built. I guess the European manufacturers prefer to give their employees nights and weekends off. Go figure!

The champagne is flowing here at id and smiles abound!

I'll update again with some DOOM 3 preparation tips (not what hardware to buy - you'll have to wait for a programmer for that sort of thing). In the meantime, I want to see those "DOOM 3 GOLD!!!" threads set new records for swamping message board servers, destroying productivity, and post counts ;-)

Recapping today's headlines....DOOM 3 GOLD!!!


This isn't being submitted as news Scampie, so chill. It's just exciting stuff! 

I've seen a DoomIII demo presented in a DVD that micromania sent me last week. The DVD is a presentation of many brand new games presented to the Holywood E3 forum (last 12-14 may)... So it seems that Doom III will be very dark, and very terrific, like an horror film, with many thrills and suspense... all is based on the ambiance !!! While looking the demo, it remind me "Alien - the 8th passenger"... with much more monsters !! .. and yes, the game will be released in august of this year !!! Don't miss it, it will be great...

BTW, HalfLife 2 and Halo 2 seems also to be very cool as well... 

Halo 2 e3 vid looked like a joke compared to other AAA titles vids
