quake 3 source code possible port?

[Guest monkeybusiness]

the source code has beeen released for quake 3. wondered if we can now get a port of it?

source code quake 3

[Guest muff]

I think not

the original Quake still runs like a dog on the newest Smartphones

until we get built in OpenGL hardware in the phones, nothing like this is going to be possible

on top of that, the control issues for FPS on a phone tend to make them unplayable

Doom is about the right level for speed and controls atm I reckon

Such ports are way far...

But honestly I'd like to play Quake 2 in my smartphone. I remember that Quake 2 was also done for PlayStation1, which was NOT a port because of performance issues. It was kinda rebuilt.

So even if you'll play Quake 2 or 3 in you spv's, it will not be a port, will be a rebuild by proffessional game makers (just like smartphone version of Midtown Madness 3)

so let's pray for gamemakers to make us happy :o

Well, HERE it is for ppc. :o

Anyone wanna port that to the smartphone?? :(

5fps on PPC's - not really going to race on a Smartphone

Won't RAM be an issue, not to mention GFX?

Smartphones can't handle 3D like PCs can yet.

Sorry to burst your looney bubble.

If you really want to waste a few hours attempting to load quake 3 (or quake 2) onto your SD card (If you have one big enough) then run a hypothetical SP build of quake 3/2.. you will not be able to play the game.

Lock the thread please, a quake 3 build is just stupid and so is this thread.

Better still delete this thread.

Nope even better...Why don't we see if we can get doom 3 to run on our phones next :o

*Contains hysteria* ...Some people.. *sigh*

You really don't need to be such a *sigh* about it yourself. I was joking, and as for others, well I'm just sorry not everyone else is as knowledgable as you. :| :roll:

Let people ask their questions and if you feel the need to answer them, then you could do it a lot more respectfully, like muff did.

Well I'm sure one day doom 3 will be a possibility on a hand held device but until then.

;)

You could have asked for porting HL1 build :D That would have been better.

SmartLife :D I think Rooz is doing stirling work with his old FPS rebuilds.

Would be nice to see some of the old platformers that appogee/Id did. I doubt they would have the source though. Or release it to the public.

Anyway... in the near future we will be flooding the phone software market with apps of our own :D Can't wait.
