Most of you sit there waiting for Quake because ID has hyped it up so much that you have no choice... OH GOD DOOM IS GONE! ACK! MUST KILL SOMETHING" have you ever considered other games out there that will beat Quake no problem or at least match it? think about this fer a min.. Doom comes out.. then Doom2.. the heretic, then hexen... Hmmm 5 games with all the same coding but different levels characters sound and times when you fight... now Quake... THINK ABOUT THIS HARD! ID has been saying since early last year HEY PEOPLE! HEARZ WHAT WE GOT GOING NOW to be releaced in the fall... no wait... the beginning of winter,, er Christmas... Umm hold a sec.. okok my 96'... ok well maybe march... DEfinatly by summer!... all in the while other game companies are creating games just like it... its not that ITS is going to be a better game or that the company i work for has the same thing only 100 players (3000 over the internet) or that "ID" is comming out with quake... its all a race to introduce the market first... what the hell do you think would have happened if lets say Dynamix (after dropping off the face of the earth after A-10 Tank killer) came out with something like doom... and then followd up with the sequils... you dont think you would not be worshoping them? lastly ill tell you a little secret about Quake ITS and my game... Quake has polygon characters yes... so does ITS and our game... quakes levels are real true 3d well so are the rest... quakes got a hammer.... its has like a Staff.. ours has gattling guns and bionic weapons... Quake will be modem/network ITS? maybe ours 100 player modem (a HUB you call and play with up to 100 people online) /modem/network/ 3000 people internet play... but hears the interesting part we have been working with polygon characters for 2 years now.. quake will probably have pre animated characters (IE they get hit the same way... they die the same way over and over) same with ITS... our game... our characters have real time kenismatics (IE when you walk it actualy takes angels and force to move polygons based on how fast you go and where in real life they can move) thus eliminating a leg going through a stair when yer walking up or yer arm clipping through a wallyer standing close to... yours actualy takes polygons and moves them as if they were solid objects in a real room.... we also have BONE structuring where if i hit yer leg and trip you your body falls with it if your off balance but yer arms dont like bend forward or nothing they would react the same as a REAL person falling... now i could go ON and ON on why OUR game is better then quake but there is no use because quake will be out first (well maybe) but ill tell ya its not what game is the best its which one comes out first and who follows them... sorry to tell ya this ID but you DONT lead the market because of doom... you may be well known but they market does not base itself around your games... i mean a DEMO group not evan a companie is making a game that stands up to yours and its their FIRST game... think about it guys... ID is a name like PENTIUM... just because it says PENTIUM on the chip does not make it better then everything elce out there! now i hope you have fun with quakes characters that do the same thing over and over like thay did in doom... but keep inmind ganes that are comming out that are actualy using SOLID characters will be better then quake.... and you all know it...

Save it for your games' own newsgroup. You are truley arogant and with out logic. You are as a result, very ignorant and shouldn't be in here saying this crap. This newsgroup is not about your game. People come here to talk about Quake, not some game that your company is making which no of us has ever heard of or seen. ID must intimidate the shit out of you... Generally speaking, 99% of the people on this newsgroup are ID fans. They are fans because the ID makes great games. This is supported by the fact that Doom has been estimated to have been installed on over 7 million machines, even out-doing Windows. Doesn't this say something to you? In other words, ID has a clue as to what makes a great game. Also, you point out that ID made Heretic and Hexen. No, Raven made them, ID supplied the engine. ID never had to run around to other game newsgroup and knock them in order to win their interest. A good game sells itself. If your game is so cool, we will like it, as will millions of others. So get out of here until that happens. -Dave BTW, >You< are truley sad. | Dave Riller | MSI Software | dri...@msisoft.com (work) | dri...@msn.com (personal)

"I NEED SOMETHING TO PLAY" its called >descent.. or mechwarrior... or warcraft 2 or anyother one of the 300 games out there As Butthead would say: "Blah blah BLAH, 'our game is more advanced', blah bleah blah 'I need something to play', blah blah"... :) OK... A. Your game is NOT more advanced. There is no way in hell it could be. Sorry. And if it was, there is no way it could be as fast as id's. (Unless you paid Carmack and Abrash very obscene amounts of money, or you guys were these awesome boy geniuses who only had flaws in grammar.) B. You didn't list the other reasons Quake will rawk. The way it will focus on multiplayer, the 3D environment, the EDITING!!! (QuakeC etc), the control, the speed, the art quality, the atmosphere... C. As to why we always go back to DOOM instead of playing other games, all of the other games are missing something. Descent's control is slow and there's no blood. Mechwarrior's control severely suffers. Warcraft 2 and C&C are a completely different genre (and these ARE extremely fun to play, but they just aren't -action- games). I am talking about multiplayer here; single player is fun for about a week, then it gets old quick. D. Get some decent PR, English lessons, and -screenshots-. -- -Gala- ga...@cris.com "Even mindless violence is boring today." - Vyv, The Young Ones
