Q for HL2 !!!!!! Thread

How about Quake for HL2? The whole story line and every thing, but for the HL2 engine. Imagine the great graphics for a great (yet old) game!

Nope, besides weve got Darkplaces for our graphical needs (per pixel lighting, etc), let Quake improve itself. Valve may do a sequel to Deathmatch Classic thogh.

Fine, spoil sport! I'm sure other people are interested. Although I will say now I will not be involved in any way in the making of this mod. If some one else wants to do it fine, but I will not help in the making of this mod (if it is made) at all.

You dont need to recreate Quake, there are already some teams that did the episode 1 textures over at hi-res, the quake monsters at high polycount, with new skins, etc... a HL2 port really isn't needed.

I'm for it as long as it doesn't end up being the blaspemous **** like DMC

from the annoucements section of the forum...nuff said.

We've got Tenebrae to cover Quake. And we've got plenty of retexturing and remodelling teams working hard. Besides, there's no storyline for Quake to recreate.

Tenebrae is hypy ack, use Darkplaces, its good n' faster and the coder knows what he's doing.

i think its a good idea :D:D

Thanks for that CheapAlert. Yes, those stencil shadows in Tenebrae kill my framerate like anything. In fact, any stencil style shadow kills my framerate. Damn GeForce 2.

Apparently we'll see a new version of Threewave with HL2

i think we should do quake for wolf3d instead

Play in 32-bit color then, all Geforce cards has a weak 16bit stencil buffer

lets do quake for the mario engine.

... how abot not ducktaped, but im all for Quake on the HL2 engine!

See! I newded some peeps would like the idea. The bully

Newded?

Yes, newded.

Newded isnt even a freakin word :o

No, NO QUAKE for HL2, Ever! Play Quake with the source ports and model packs

Q for HL2 is a very dumb idea really. No HL player even likes Quake or bothers knowing about the new stuff for it

ALSO, Generations q2 was canned by id because it was too representative of Quake1 and Doom, and it'd be mostly the map designs

yes its a bad idea because quake is dm and so is HL2 so people would preffer HL2 or the original quake :/

quake has a single player aswell tho :o

yes besides u could get sued

Good thing you said that Neo, or else I would have.

Besides, the fact that Quake is on an older engine, gives its a whole feeling that only it has. Putting it on a different engine wouldn't do Quake justice.

Tenebrae, bah. Stencil shadows are not worth their framerate yet. DarkPlaces has them (optional) plus lots more, especially in the world of QC addons
