Quake Zero Clarification [Aug 07, 2007, 9:28 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
Quake Zero not
actually in web-browser on Eurogamer clarifies that Quake Zero, id's newly
announced experimental project, will not actually run in a web browser. Though
the game will be launched from a browser, this will apparently just be a
front-end, and the application will (thankfully) not be written in Flash or
Java or their ilk. Here's the semi-clear explanation from id's Steve Nix:
It's modified to have a front-end in a web-browser where you launch the game. And they've already done a lot of the architectural work - the way the game loads - where it's primarily just shifting the file structures and everything, but the game loads very very quickly, so basically you've never played it on a given machine, you can go to the web-browser, click 'play' and almost instantly get into a game.
Though it is loading to your machine in the background, there's not going to be a lot of wait time or an install process and everything.

This sounds pretty cool. I thought Valve was promising similar style loading with Steam, but I never saw that pan out. Seems like the whole game has to load before you can start playing. I could be wrong, but I thought they intended to download it in a way that you could launch, watch the intro movie, start the first level, etc... all while the rest was still coming down.

I thought it was 'that great quake flavor with less calories'? 
Like that I guess
Like that was everyone's initial guess, but that interview seems to state that it will be the front-end that's web based, not the program itself.
I said to myself "how do you do quake level 3d graphics and gameplay in a browser?" I was right! I rule.
