QUAKE LIVE Beta Live [Feb 24, 2009, 8:09 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
On this anniversary of the release of Qtest in 1996, the
QUAKE LIVE Website is now accepting all
comers into the open beta of QUAKE LIVE, the free web-based version of
Quake III Arena. Word is: "Welcome to QUAKE LIVE! Everyone on the development
team and at id Software would like to thank you for stopping by and giving this
very exciting new project of ours a shot. We look forward to hearing from you,
playing in matches with you, and most of all hope you and your friends have a
great time with the game."
Will be interesting to see if this strong initial interest will die off quickly or not. Quake95 (for windows 3.1) was my very first fps shooter experience (and then Quake2), and therefore has some nastalgic value for me, however since 1998 the UT series has always been a much better game for this genre.
While I'll be spending the time to download this (80% due to the fact that its free, 10% nastalgia, 10% curiousity) I cant help but wonder what all the hub-bub is about in getting to play a 13 year old game because personally speaking I think that once the nastalgia thing wears off (within a week for me i think) itll be right back to UT and Arma, heh.
