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.

    • I'm content with my dual charger for now, but this actually sounds quite nice - and it's less expensive than I was expecting. As for the company, they can name themselves "Nazirapist" for all I care.
    • While I miss Outlook for a couple of small things, I use Thunderbird now because I don't like how MS wants to force you to change things.
    • Chrome has history of being the browser everyone uses because Internet Explorer sucks, not realizing that Edge changed that, but people got into the habit of using Chrome. I use Brave and I've never been happier with a browser. It does what it is meant to do and gets out of the way.
    • Wino Mail -> Microsoft Outlook (the new one). Link: https://github.com/bkaankose/Wino-Mail Just sayin.
    • Microsoft launches Godot Sample to streamline Xbox PC game development on the engine by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Microsoft today announced a new endeavor that aims to make it simpler for Godot developers to get their products into the Xbox PC ecosystem. Dubbed the "XBOX Godot Sample," this is a new public reference for developers using the open-source engine. This is set to serve as an example of how Microsoft GDK, Xbox Services, and PlayFab can be integrated into their projects. The sample is available now on GitHub as a working example. This covers key features in gaming projects that developers may need to release their projects on Xbox PC, with everything from matchmaking and game sign-in to gamepad compatibility with Godot being covered. This release is being called the first step in giving Godot developers the tools to bring their games over to Xbox PC, with more changes to come based on feedback and issue reports. However, the company was clear that this is not related to bringing Godot projects to Xbox consoles. The engine's open development model stops it from accessing console SDKs due to the requirement of NDAs and legal contracts. Here's how it explained this Godot sample project's focus: This is a source-only sample, not a product. It's MIT-licensed at the wrapper layer; the GDK and PlayFab dependencies still require their own installs and license acceptance, consistent with our other XBOX samples. There is no set update cadence for support or maintenance. We’ll watch the repo, monitor issues, and iterate where it makes sense, but this isn't a commercial release. That said, we’re excited to hear your feedback and see any community PRs, as we evolve this together. This is the first step in bringing Godot for XBOX on PC. We plan to evolve it over time based on what the community tells us is most valuable. This sample is built specifically for XBOX on PC. It doesn’t include support for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One. If you’re already building for XBOX Series X|S or XBOX One, please talk with your XBOX representative. If not, you can get started by signing up here. Game developers can find the XBOX Godot Sample by heading to GitHub over here. Documentation on how to get started with Godot for building an Xbox PC project can be seen here.
