Linguica Posted June 7, 2000 Fanatic's Abode has been updated with another update talking about how Fanatic is just waiting on a stable release of EDGE before releasing the QDOOM public test. He's also posted a cool screenshot showing off 3D floors and translucent water in the EDGE engine, and pimps his musical talents a little bit. (I wonder if in two-odd years someone will make another QDOOM TC using a certain other engine). 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Fanatic Posted June 7, 2000 EDGE has, and has had, DOS, Win32, Win32 GL, and Linux versions. 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Confusion Posted June 7, 2000 Sorry if I'm missing the point here, but if one wanted to play Quake then wouldn't one play...Quake? Why do we need Quake done DOOM-style? Now I'm not knocking QDOOM here, I'm just asking, what will it do to make it worthwhile when anyone can get a total Quake experience simply by playing Quake? I expect there is a perfectly good answer to this and I'm just not seeing it. If so, please tell me - I'm starting to get too cynical. (On a completely unrelated note, does anyone know where Team Insanity have gone? I recall seeing the address somewhere but I've forgotten it...) 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Qayin Posted June 7, 2000 I've asked myself this question before too. I guess the answer would be "more monsters on the screen at once". 0 Share this post Link to post
Guest Fanatic Posted June 7, 2000 QDOOM is not Quake in DOOM. If you play QDOOM and then play Quake, they are not the same thing, litterally or in the sense of an experience. QDOOM is Quake done DOOM style. It's unique, but has the cool stuff that you would find in Quake, like the monsters, weapons, sound, textures, etc. There are also a lot of elements that are not in Quake, like rain, special scripted events, exploding walls and glass, translucent water and glass, etc. This is one of those things where seeing is believing. And I've heard your argument dozens of times, "why play QDOOM when I can just play Quake?". It's a respectable question, but you'll have to play QDOOM and judge for yourself. 0 Share this post Link to post
AndrewB Posted June 7, 2000 And that's a respectable answer, no doubt. I'll be sure to download QDoom when it comes out, but I'm not downloading the public beta. It could spoil the excitement, and I don't want that. :-b 0 Share this post Link to post
