from the news page
In a continuation of our successful collaboration with id Software and Activision we have started production of a new full game based on the cutting-edge Doom 3 engine.
sounds exciting to me. What will it be Wolfenstien 2? Single player or just multiplayer? Or are they making something completly new and original? (not expecting any sd blokes to say what it is just wondering what other people think it might be). Don’t spose we’'ll find out anytime soon
Several things going through my head… 
Afaik, there working on the D3 Multiplayer Side of things atm.
Im guessing there new project can be related to either of things:
[ul]
[li] Team Fortress
[/li][li] Enemy Territory
[/li][li] Maybe summit RTCW/CoD Stylee
[/li][li] A HL2 beater? :o
[/li][li] Tribes like…
[/li][li] Quake 4 SP and/or MP
[/li][/ul]
Its hard to think. After seeing the Doom 3 engine, its like any Quake engine all dark and gloomy so I cant see any realistic type things eg, CS/UT. Can see it deffo being a Multiplayer based game just no idea what it could possibly be based on…
Well, if you go to the jobs page they ask for a wide range of science fiction, fantasy, etc… that makes me think it’s not going to be Wolfenstein related…
I’d give my vinyl Pink Floyd collection to get that job (the concept thing).
Take me away from my ordinary job and bring me into the light of entertainment and showbusiness!

I hope only they does not forget Linux with their game. Wolfenstein 2 should be very good for me but if i’m not doing a mistake J.C. said that a sequel of RTCW was very improbable. Raven is just working on Quake 4 then it will be surely something new
I’m surprised Acvtivision or ID havn’t thought of making ET2 but charging for it as ET has been a huge hit if they cleaned it up alot added new things they could easily get huge ammounts of an ET2 for ??30

CS/UT are both based on Quake engines…
“its like any Quake engine all dark and gloomy so I cant see any realistic type things eg, CS/UT.”
isnt that saying its like the quake engine eg UT/CS? so then your post about them being based on the quake engine desn’t make sense
I honestly can’t imagine there NOT being a new RTCW and/or ET built on the new D3 engine eventually, since Q4 is being built on it, and it will be the logical successor to the Q3 engine. Same goes for a new CS built on the new HL2 engine (the name of which escapes me ATM). With the success of CS and RTCW/ET, both scenarios seem like no-brainers to me…
Piggy, just because Doom 3 is a dark game does not mean the engine is dark and gloomy. 
You tart.
Bet you dont have a Dark Side of the Moon original signed by Gilmour himself… :> My dad met him, and the rest of the group, at a pub before a concert in London before I was born. 
How do you know they havent thought about it? Psychic?
CS is based on HL obviously, and afaik HL is a heavily modified Q2 engine… (eg, modified to NOT be dark and gloomy] Unreal on the other hand is not based on a Quake engine. I think again, one of the original Story mode Unreals might have been Q2 but that was it. Any recent unreal games is not the Quake Engine.
Eh? You quote me but talk about another persons post? Hrms… I swear people just read my posts and paste together parts of it in the head making things up - The eg, is an example to say… Quake Engine = Dark and Gloomy so I CANNOT see it being used for a REALISTIC type game such as CS. Get it? 
And tbh, fuck Quake 4 if its gonna be based on the Doom engine. They still struggling with the Netcode so if Q4 = D3 then Q4 online = 4/6 player DM.
And Al. Certain aspects of the Engine will be coded im sure with Doom 3’s dark and gloominess in mind.
in a forum when new posts are posted you reply to them… so when ildon posted I replied o his post , and seeing as his post was reffering to what you said I was using your psot as reference to him… maybe you should try reading posts twice before answering 
lol
Piggy, I dig you and shit, you’re a kool guy, but I gotta call you on this one, hehe. The engine of a game is more or less the stuff like physics, movement, etc. The gloominess of a game is its textures, lighting, maps (fog, etc). You could make a Sesame Street game on the D3 engine, a Bugs Bunny game on the Q3 engine, or any other scenario.
Yup, Bugs Bunny is returning in fashion, i’m just using it as subject for the sake of learning to draw A parodia game with sesame street or looney toones models imo will be very cool
I did say certain aspects.
But, anyways, spose thisll be one of the last posts I make ere considering they banned my other a/c and no doubt this one and whatever else will be banned too. Its there method of resolving anything that regardless of what free opinions and expressions are made… they couldnt care less.
Anyone needs to contact me for anything else stick with meh email or irc. You know who you are…
I’m not sure where your paranoia comes from Piggy - I banned your last account for trolling, and I’d already warned you once (in the PM thread we had when you asked if we would consider you as a moderator). It’s not as if you couldn’t see it coming.
If you stop trolling you can continue to use that account - take ya pick
Cool, ill stick with that then… only way I can keep a link within the community.
But… (Que Dun dun dun sound)
What exactly am I trolling? - As i’ve said before in posts elsewhere, around 90% of all my posts are either trying to get help for something, or helping someone else or questions I aim at yourselfs. (Which are never answered, but respectively, appart from that one PM a while back) The other 10% is just a stupid answer to another stupid post or a short addition to a joke. If anything, and as snisers said in the past, the only thing i’ve did wrong is ‘spam’ the forums, but in a decent spam.
