Holiday Speculation
by Steve Gibson, Jul 04, 2001 6:51am PDTOk considering it'll probably be a not exactly eventful day today considering the holiday here in the US I figured we could speculate a little bit more about what's going to be announced at QuakeCon. Here are a few things to consider when trying to figure it out.
- Most likely a known id property. (SoD / Wolf / DOOM / Quake / Quest?) - Most likely a contracted out job. I'd bet on Raven and/or possibly Nerve Software? - Probably not a port. (Although ports may be announced) - More than one annoucement.I prodded the PR guy a little bit about my own suspicions and he responded with "I have said absolutely nothing. You would be speculating." I thought that was pretty cool. :) At any rate in addition to the announcement we'll also probably see some more DOOM stuff which I'll be on hand for and make available for you guys within a few minutes of it being revealed. (At least that is the plan! hah!)

I'm wondering if they may be working with somebody along with the CPL to do a more officially competition oriented game. If I remember correctly, Angel Munoz has said several times they'd like to have a game developed specifically for competition. He was also the one who spouted off they expected to have a Doom3 event at the end of 2001 after talking with Carmack.
So, put 2 and 2 together, and you have potential that id is going to work with them or allow them to put this game together.
Dunno, just as good a guess as anybody else :)
That will be it.
ok folks.. what do you think it is?
I think its a fully "head rotational" camera. basicly, with all previous quake games, you have had to turn your entire body to look around you. Prehaps with this, you just press a "turn head" key and only your head turns, so you simply can look all around you, simular to mlook, but your body doesnt turn with you... hmm.. what would be the point? ok.. maybe its an awesome 3rd person camera then :)

It's not going to be Wolf or Doom based, because those "id properties" already have games in progress.
I doubt it will be Quake4, because JohnC already said that Quake was dead after number 3 (but hey, they're bringing back doom).
Hopefully it's that Quest game they started working on. I think that would have been cool.
although they're working SoF2, it could very well be Raven. Raven usually works on two games at once, and right now they're working on SoF2, have a few guys looking into making a PS2 game, and something else that they haven't announced. Coincidence? I don't think so. I wouldn't doubt the fact that it's Raven developing this game for id.
