I can’t wait to play this, back in the day I used to be VERRRRRY good at this game. I can’t wait to see what my rail average has gone to

I wonder, does it let you set up your own config file? I wonder if you can adjust the graphics?

There are gameplay videos available from QuakeCon ‘08 in July, though of course it wasn’t the exact same as it is right now.

Video of ZeRo4 vs. Cypher for the 1v1 finals is here ( http://www.quak...y.com/file=2753 ), and the others are easily found from there.

PS. QL is the shiznit.

The game is expanding all the time and invites are being sent out in the thousands every day.

My prediction is this game is about to reach the open beta fase in which anyone can sign up without a beta key.

[...] La Id Software ha inventato Quake e questo basta per consacrarla alla storia del videogaming. Ancora mi porto dietro nell’iPod le colonne sonore originali dei NIN, contenute nei cd dei primi due capitoli della saga sotto forma di tracce audio. Ma la software house vuole ancora dire la sua e sta preparando una nuova rivoluzione. [...]

It runs very well via it’s own proprietary plugin. The only glitches I’ve seen are a few mouse focus issues, but they’re very minor.

At this point, is seems like they’re trying to target the masses, but it really does appear to be built for the hardcore (odd FPS terminology intact, very little help for newbies beyond a slightly expanded tutorial level that was in the original game). They have some great matchmaking stuff, and they track all of your stats and matches, so from that perspective, it’s great.

I’m moved from PC gaming to console gaming over the last few years, and I do have to say the Q3A gameplay is amazing, pure, and addicting… It still holds up very well, and I can see playing it a lot. I’m not sure how broadly it will appeal to people that didn’t play the original, though…

It is a pretty fun game to play, and I’m sure Quake fans will like it. Quake is not just my type of game though.

I think it’s not a true in-browser version of Quake, just one that is launched from within the browser.

The graphics are superior to the original Q3A, the textures seem to have gotten some polish. I run it through FF, but there is also a plugin to run it through Interwebs Exploder. Installation is a small plugin (few megs) which then loads the rest from the quakelive.com page. As a fun perk, it first loads a small map so you can play against Crash (the first opponent from the original game) while the rest of the game loads in the background.

I can take a video, what would people like to see? Its just like Q3A with a sweet long-poll ajax interface that informs you when your friends join games (like Steam you can click to follow and join their server). I’ll do something at lunch today.

I very much doubt it’s flash. Probably a nice custom plug-in containing what 3D engine elements you need to run Quake in a browser.

Which is nice enough if it’s not too heavy.

They should work on this kind of technology to set up a “standard” for other games too.

I had a look around, but didn’t see what technology they were using for the game? Flash?
