January 09 Update - Triple Release Update Pt. #2

[Furtal1ty]

What if the big surprise is a stand-alone game based off the id tech 3 OR maybe getting ready to release off the (hopefully) upcoming release of idtech4 source code? Because we all know source just... sucks. Dystopia is the only game I can play on faucet's engine without using my fingernails to slit my wrists. That would make the wait well worth the two fucking years since v1.1 patch.

The big surprise is a hamster ball. I guess it's actually a little surprise.

I don't think re-releasing a game on a 10 year old game engine would be worthy of fun surprise, and iD Tech 4 while being great for rendering real-time shadows, isn't so great for multiplayer games considering the animations are capped at 30 frames per second.

It would be tits if Dystopia became standalone. But that's never gonna happen.

[dunesw64]

You never know. The Natural Selection guys have gone the standalone route by developing their own engine from the ground up, and their team is made up of only a couple of guys.

THIS SUMMER, JANUARY 30TH, TEAM DYSTOPIA BRINGS YOU...

DYSTOPIA: DOOM 3 EDITION
"HOPE YOU BROUGHT YOUR THERMALS"


if we used one of carmack's GPL engines our smartass community would have a field day with the source code and pretty soon there'd be flying heavies with chainsaws for heads

[anton_es]

flying heavies with chainsaws for heads

I had to quote that. just so nobody misses it. It'll be a feature of some (maybe not) lame retail game soon. you heard it here first

[Chish]

I want a plush heavy with a chainsaw head

[Aurion]

January and Summer? Well, its originally an Australian game, so its kinda right, but still..

[psychotic]

But man, I just can't wait till fri/sat. Should be one of those 2 days (friday if it's 3 days per update, saturday if it's released a week from the first update).
