Devine on Q3Test
by Maarten Goldstein, Oct 14, 1999 2:16pm PDTThere are some quotes from an upcoming interview from Games Business with id's Graeme Devine up on FGNOnline, where Graeme describes how they are using user feedback from Q3test for improvement of the full version of Quake III Arena.
He said, "Most of the criticisms are to do with either gun or weapon balance but we havenÂ’t really made too many changes because the maps we have out there aren't really a good indication of the full retail product. One is very open and spacey and meant to just test modem play. The other shifts lots of polygons."
He added, "We have listened to their concerns on network play, for example. We've addressed their issues and we're trying to balance a hell of a lot more; trying to give players the gameplay that they want. We try and listen to the new consumers and the old faithful consumers as well."

heh. Makes me giddy with anticipation.
Ill frag all your asses with or without footsteps.
Haha, I was listening to a Live version of Fake Plastic Trees as I read that. I agree. Almost all the songs on the OK computer album are great, and I\'m not kidding. Maybe 2 or 3 songs aren\'t great, but that\'s all.

Pimpstick made me laugh.
Not anything to argue about, but I said \"some\" of the cartoon colors. i.e. Purple. I did not say cartoony. I love the game, kudos to Carmack et. al. I\'m just not much into purple and yellow. It\'s just what I like. #53 has a good point though, in that \"arcade\" is a much better description than \"cartoon\". However, like #52 says, the levels I\'ve seen sure as hell ain\'t \"dark and gothic\".
Footsteps make for less fun in one-on-one DM. Play Q1 against one player. Then play Q2. I think Q1 played better in THAT regard because there are generally more frags, and you get that adrenaline charge from being surprised more often. Again, just my opinion.
And if anybody says, \"Opinions are like assholes.....\", I\'m taking my ball and going home.
you know there\'s on thing that i love
but it\'s not you i\'m thinkin\' of...
i want the ultimate cheeseburger
break it down!

cheese and that\'s it!
Those guys are my idols. I wish i had a poster i could hang on my wall of them.
Dude, if you think that Q3test is dark and gothic, I shudder to think
what monstrosity you would consider to be bright. Do you really find
the brightly colorful \"disco dungeon\" look of q3test1 and q3tourney to
be dark and gothic ? Im sorry but im having a hard time swallowing that.
And if you think that q3test2 is dark and gothic, then im sorry to break
this to you, but you do have some sort of vision problem.
Dm2,Dm4 or Dm6.
Thats what i call dark and gothic.
Go Yankees! Yankees should own the Sox!
And you think Q3 is cartoony? My god, it\'s still the most dark dank gothic game out there, and you bitch that it\'s cartoony? How much darker of a game do you need? If Q3 is too bright for you, I\'ve got the feeling that the only way a game would be dark enough for you is if Satam himself came and stabbed yer ass while you were playing it. Heh, then if he was bright red you\'d probably complain that he was too cartoony too. lol.
Or something.
-Take some of the cartoon colors out. Just because you have a wider range of colors doesn\'t mean you should use them.
-Kill the Personal Teleporter
-Kill bunny hopping
-Leave the weapons as is, they\'re all lethal with practice.
-Bill Clinton should have been thrown out of office. He\'s a national disgrace.
I have met Killcreek. She was funny and pretty cool to be around, don\'t know her beyond that. I have worked in the business and I\'m 34.
anything else?

id Software has never let me down, and I don\'t think they will start now. Whatever compromises they want to make are probably close to the best possible. I bought Wolfenstein when it came out, did you?
John Romero and Stevie Case are actually quite nice people. If you want someone to give shit to, make it Todd Porter. He is a complete asshole and most of the reason ION is in trouble. I hope Daikatana doesn\'t suck. I hope for John\'s sake, Killcreek does.
Hey sCary, thanks. I thought I was the only one who had a problem with Alex St. John.
sorry to waste anybody\'s time, I just felt like typing something.
This should have been a warning right there.
And to this day KC continues to defend Sin. What impressed her the most? Retarded AI? Bad levels? Lack of any story? Huge install? Abysmal load times? More bugs than a NY bathroom stall?
If she uses Sin as am inspiration for level design in DK, that game is gonna be so fucked it won\'t even be funny.
Wait, it will be funny....
>Thanks!
Youre not welcome. :)
Thanks!
