Quake II.

Evolved.

And it looks freaking great.

Double post, out of amazement:

Mmmm WOW. That looks GREAT. Suddenly I'm looking forward to the next release more than ever.

I'm always bring this up, but did you guys decide what you're going to do with the demo compatibility? I know that if you break protocol it won't work, but is that so necessary?

Yes and no. I know demos are a big thing so we may look into some kind of hack to allow old demos to work for you.

Well I meant VQ2 with the snazzy new effects and all... I mean isn't that a custom level with new textures that you showin us odium?

Oh, my bad.

Post by **dzjepp** » Tue Mar 29, 2005 5:41 am

Well look at the textures on that... doubt it's gonna look like that for regular Quake 2 cuz they haven't redone any of the textures yet (AFAIK

) it will look nice but not as nice as that. They really need to get someone to start churnin out the spanking new media.

Looks like a Doom 3 screenshot with Photoshoped Quake 2 HUD.

How's the performance?

Post by **Geebs** » Thu Mar 31, 2005 11:44 am

Yeah, given the whole "you need a 512 Mb video card to run Doom3 on Ultra" thing, and your bigger textures.

Although if you use the Quake 2 AI, that's a load off the processor....

Post by **dzjepp** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 2:31 am

Heard Berserk mentioning that it will run slightly worse than Doom 3... cuz he can't optimize code like Carmack does.

Post by **Mogul** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 4:28 am

Bleh -- point is, it's going to be out there, for free.

One day you will have a rig powerful enough to run it well, and you'll be glad that it was made the way it is.

Performance is great ATM. Even with lots fo cross section lights its pretty good.

Post by **Fjoggs** » Fri Apr 01, 2005 10:38 am

The floor textures looks kinda funky (in a strange way), reminds me of EvilLairs eCel textures.

Post by **Shmee** » Mon Apr 18, 2005 7:01 pm

Looking good. I want to play it

Post by **axbaby** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 1:35 pm

the demo video was all black ?

Post by **MKJ** » Tue Apr 19, 2005 3:05 pm

prolly missing a codec

the demo video runs at like 15 fps though

Post by **o'dium** » Wed Apr 20, 2005 9:32 am

Talking about our video?

You just need the divx codec, thats all!

But its an OLLLLLLLD video now so i'll put together something new soon for you all, with a proper test map and the latest build of ppl working

Because we told it too

Otherwise, you can have a smooth video but 15meg, and we wanted a lot of people to see this.

I'll put together a new video later when i get back though.

PPL has changed a lot since this video. Bugs have been fixed, angles have been changes and normal mapping now works like it should.
