Actually that quote sounds like it was almost made tongue-in-cheek. After all isn't that exactly what Quake IV is, a return to the Quake II setting using the DOOM III engine? They say Carmack has been sick recently, maybe he's still feeling a little light-headed...

=)

He is using words like "neat", seemes like he has gotten the w32.BliffyB virus ;)

DOOM3 already being somewhat of a remake of the original DOOM & Quake4 being a sequel to Quake2, that would leave us with one of the most popular multiplayer games ever, Quake 1.

A remixed version would be great. Even if thats the only game they redo, it would be worth it.

OMG I think you're right... he wouldn't come out and directly say 'we're re-doing Quake' but he'd indirectly hint at it.

Yeah, just like a better looking and smoother running tenebrae :)

would probably make a much better multiplayer game than q4 since there is no rail and the physics are fast and fun

awesome

Q1 remixed. :)

Q1 Reloaded. :)

q1 remixed?

FuhQuake!

send a copy of fuhquake to nvidia and see if they wanna sponsor a tournament for this game :/

Go qw :)

no qw pls fagwarts

hahah :)

cool !

sounds like a great idea!
this is probby a good step in makeing the old games most famous again
cause alot of people whines about the details of qw or q2
with new looks and the same gameplay.. new maps etc
damn, carmack make this reality :D

cause everybody whines about the details of qw or q2

Who is "everybody" and where does he live? Porting Q1 to a new engine would be like coloring Citizen Kane....just wrong.

And on the other hand, porting q2 to a new engine would be a very good idea.

well, alot of people do
the gameplay of qw for example is good
but it looks pretty old and messed up...
renew the graphics, so leave gameplay as it is
u have a big chance that a big number of people return to the game or new people for instance

same goes for q2..

but everybody has is own opinnion about such things
i just state my own :)

u have a big chance that a big number of people return to the game or new people for instance

Hah, new people. People who still believed in the tooth fairy when Q1 came out. No, no, that'd just make me feel old. Leave old games alone, let Dune2000 be a lesson to you.

Kane in colour: 'wrong' maybe, but the simple fact is more people would watch and appreciate it. The same would work for a game too :)

ppl who refuse to watch a film because its b&w generally arent worth bothering with

that'd just make me feel old

thats u.. doesnt mean somebody else
and im not only talking about q1
also q2...

doubt they would do that, if they did people would just buy the q1 remake for mp and not bother with d3 =)

if they do it, they will do it some months after the release of doom3
that would the best move imo

DO IT FFS !!!

well i guess im fuct. since my pc wont run doom3 :X

but I wouldnt mind seeing quake1 and quake2 under quake3's graphics engine... :p

gimme qw with doom 3 engine!!!

Cant believe anyone hasnt mentioned graphics = gameplay yet.

Think how GREAT gameplay these games would have with the new updated GREAT graphics!

...which ppl would just tweak the config of (if at all possible) to get right back to the "sucky graphics" :P

how can I get the map of quake 3 ctf Supercap League ?

Q2 again.
No thanks.

Proper year 2003.

would have been nice if this is all they did for q4, left it the same as q3 and just updated graphics.

Man, if they re-released Q1 with remade graphics / engine I'd be the first in the queue - it is still the best Quake.

i take it they mean by the DOOM renderer the DOOM3 renderer..?

No they meant the DOOM renderer as in Doom 2 etc
