Post by: Living-In-Clip on February 09, 2001, 06:13:52 AM: Uh-Huh it can do DC ports. Whoopie! Big deal! Where is the \'net play? What? You mean there isn\'t? Oh, it will be as much as fun as Unreal Tourament, maybe even less. WoooHooo!!

Note my intense sarcasm.

A port of an aging game and then taking away the fundmental part of the gameplay. Ohhh, it sounds so good...NOT!

;)

The funiest is to play lots if people not just four people. . . it is hard to get four people to my house and play against each other

Title: And they Call Xbox the Portbox
Post by: ReverendXbox on February 09, 2001, 09:16:01 AM: :rolleyes:

Wait, that\'s a PC port. Aren\'t you guys totally against that? I thought PS2 fans didn\'t like PC ports. Oh well, I guess you don\'t like PC ports on other systems, just the PS2 right? Enough with that...will the game have online play? If not, then what\'s the point in playing it?

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on February 09, 2001, 09:33:39 AM: Wouldn\'t Q3 be programmed for Directx.. So wouldn\'t it need to be RE-programmed for ps2. Therefore making it, not a port. but a conversion.

i see it as a DC port, not PC

Post by: §ôµÏG®ïñD on February 09, 2001, 10:48:40 AM: Though. I really don\'t care for Console FPS or RTS games. I rather play them on a pc. But thats my opinion.

Post by: Darth Joyda on February 09, 2001, 11:00:08 AM: Well, it\'s called Quake III: Revolution. That last part of the title is there for some reason. So it just might be more than a port.

There has to be some extras, because the online options will come to use much later. The single player and multiplayer -options must be wide and full of extras, just like Timesplitters.

But we will see.. if it is worth its name, then I\'m definetely going to buy it! Nothing beats up a Quake III match with friends...

Post by: ddaryl on February 09, 2001, 11:43:19 AM: I seriously doubt I\'ll pick this one up, Red Faction will keep my FPS interest for awhile hopefully.

As for PC ports in general..... I like to see how they look but in all honesty none of them really interest me, at least not as much as other games coming out on the PS2
