Enemy Territory: Quake Wars


Recommended Posts

That video in the Neowin news was incredible. I've had my eye on this game for a while now - partly because of my faith in Splash Damage and partly because of my Quake roots - but watching that video just makes me want the game more than ever.

I like how Quake Wars shares some of the same icons as the original Wolf:ET, as well as some of the voice work (the dude who says the Allies' objectives in Wolf:ET sounds like the same guy from the GDF in QW). It helps the game feel like a progression in the Enemy Territory series as opposed to being a completely new franchise. Having the same objective based gameplay really contributes as well. One of my initial worries was that Quake Wars would become a Battlefield/UTOnslaught clone.

The only thing I'm worried about right now is the vehicle balance. While I do have faith in Splash Damage's ability to create a well balanced game, those Strogg copters looked really powerful. Let's hope that the deployable turrets are able to keep the air units in check.

Sorry, it was my first quakecon and got a bit caught up in all the events. I wish I could've brought back more info. They wouldn't tell me what specs the machines were running either...

I just watched the QuakeCon footage, you would have been playing 'Valley'. :)

No problem, I would have been more concerned about the even myself, so compltely understandable.

From the video I watched of the demonstration, it appears as if they were using an Alienware comp.

Is that what you guys were using as well?

If so, I can go ahead and assume they were pretty powerful setups.

The main reason I really asked was so I have an idea of when and what I should upgrade my comp to get the game to run as good as possible. ;)

Major parts of the renderer were re-written to be faster and if you can run Doom 3 / Quake 4 well ETQW will run fine.

It'll even run fine on my AMD64 2.2Ghz, 1GB RAM, 9800 Pro most likely.

Great news. I can run Doom III just fine, so this is fantastic news. Thanks for sharing.

No problem. :)

It's annoying looking through all of the gaming forums and seeing people always telling others they'll need a whole new rig for the game when all they'll really need is a small upgrade like mem or vid card.

No clue. The machines weren't visible to anyone playing in the front row. Only monitor, speaker, mouse and keyboard.

    • Most boring game ever. Repetitive, empty, predictable, and full of cliches. Total waste of time and money, IMO.
    • Mafia: The Old Country expansion Man of Honor announced, brings back Salieri from original by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe During Summer Game Fest, 2K and Hanger 13 brought out a new Mafia: The Old Country trailer, revealing the game's first expansion. Named Man of Honor, this is slated to add two new chapters to the Enzo storyline that the game follows. There is an iconic character returning to the series with this expansion, with players set to run into Ennio Salieri, the future Don of the Salieri crime family. Fans of the original Mafia, or its Definitive Edition remake, may remember that name as one of the biggest characters in the storyline. This expansion is set prior to his rise to being the kingpin in the City of Lost Heaven. "Set in Sicily during the winter of 1905, Enzo Favara has proven himself a reliable soldier of the Torrisi crime family in the months since his initiation," says the studio about the new chapters. "Now, the Don entrusts him and Cesare with a delicate assignment of assisting Ennio Salieri, a man of honor recently released from prison and intent on reclaiming what is his." Working at Salieri's side, players will be heading into fresh environments as they return to the role of Enzo as a high-ranking soldato. The studio also promises brand-new weapons, fresh vehicles, and charms to collect in this expansion. Moreover, the expansion will add new content to the updated Free Ride mode. Alongside new collectibles and locations, this will add more challenges to beat alongside Salieri, which are described as runs that will "test the skills of even the most elite mafiosi." The Mafia: The Old Country Man of Honor story expansion will release on August 14, 2026, across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5. It will cost $10 for owners of the base game to jump into.

    • Telltale returns with The Wolf Among Us, re-revealing the sequel and a new remaster by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Telltale Games, the studio known for its episodic games from the 2000s, had a surprise appearance at the Summer Game Fest showcase today. The studio has gone through a collapse, an acquisition, and a revival but has largely gone silent in recent years. Today's sudden announcement was for the popular The Wolf Among Us series, with news about the sequel and a remaster dropping. Set after the events of the 2013-released title, the sequel will bring back Biby Wolf for a new adventure in Fabletown. This town of fairy tale characters is becoming unstable, with Snow White not being able to keep order as before. "When a brutal series of crimes threatens to fracture the fragile balance holding Fabletown together, Bigby Wolf, sheriff of Fabletown, finds himself drawn into a dangerous conspiracy that reaches deep into the city’s criminal underworld," says the studio. "As suspicion spreads across the city and powerful forces work against him, Bigby must uncover the truth and decide what kind of sheriff - and what kind of wolf - he is willing to become." At the same time, Telltale also announced The Wolf Among Us Remastered, bringing back the classic with a fresh coat of paint. This will include all five episodes from the original game plus over an hour of extra content that will offer behind-the-scenes videos, cast interviews, image galleries, and deleted scenes. The remaster will also have updated visuals and improved UI elements and accessibility features, alongside upgrades to the animations, audio, and frame rates. Telltale has been working on this project for almost a decade now, but if the new release schedule holds, fans will be able to jump into The Wolf Among Us 2 sometime in 2027. As for The Wolf Among Us Remastered, this is slated to release during this holiday season.
