We can go back to fighting over tech5 now, I guess.

TelekineticFrog

That looks pretty great...hopefully a clear high rez copy will pop up soon for a better look at the detail. Gives off a nice kinda feel though...almost like Motorstorm / Mad Max / Blade Runnerish.

Ferg

looks pretty sweet

I want to see what this crazy editor technology they've been hawking looks like... how they manage multiple artists working on the same enviro at the same time, and exactly what they meant by being able to have as many textures as you want.

TomDunne

That very opening bit with the twangy guitar... my first thought is that it was gonna be like a Firefly video game Not quite that cool, but still looks boffo. Don't wanna read too much into a heavily compressed video, but the lightning seams a bit harsh (my only real complaint about Doom3.)

doc rob

Beautiful. The tech sounds pretty good too.

What I found interesting was the mention that id had been working on another game "Darkness" until relatively recently. I guess that got canceled and will never see the light of day? It would be cool to hear more of that story. . .

Asmuel

Good to see them doing something different, I like the art direction Mad Max/Tatooine/Abe's Odyssey? More interesting then interiors of space ships

Slum

Yes! Post apocalyptic racing game/fps. BRING IT ON

IronHawk

oh hell yeah. I knew that shit wasn't just a tech demo.

jam

Good start on Rage... Quake Zero = win

McIlroy

Man ID never fails to impress !

RazorBladder

Very nice, can't wait for a real HD raw feed
U BETTER DELIVER!

*Waits impatiently for a vid of Carmack's Keynotes*

aesir

That part reminded me of that scene in The Shining.

HellMark

Looks great! Id always gets me geeked out for their games and their tech.

Some editor shots at IGN that start at image 6.

Renaud Galand

MAN... I'm speakless... THAT WAS HUGE ! I'm found of everything. Univer, atmosphere, models, env, everything.

Mark Dygert

Do they have a working real time skin shader or are they really good at faking it? Looks promising.

Ultemate

Awesome! cant wait to see more

HonkyPunch

this is pretty much fucking awesome.

Quake 5 better be motherfucking awesome
Because it should.
So rage is a game in it's own?
FUnnnn

Entity

woah they really improved the shading on the skin since the last video footage

doc rob

Also, maybe we here at Polycount should be more excited about Quake Zero. Maybe it will be the return of the PPM?

Let's hope the polycounters in attendance at Quakecon get some info.

indian_boy

holy hot damn! so much has been improved since last they showed this tech to the public. particularly the sking, like Entity mentioned. im just wondering if this is all in-game engine! another thing i'm thinking: if the insects have so much detail, are all but modern engines gonna slow to a crawl? lol jk.

looking good! now i just hope that Quake 5 gets announced tomorrow, and it has a story line that goes after Quake 4, and it doesn't have a 'lame' ending.

JKMakowka

Wow... those characters (and animations) are certainly a step up over anything I have seen rendered in real time so far (and I would almost dare to say rendered in general).
Especially the eyes made me go "wow"!

The rest is pretty good but nothing exceptional (ok those rock formations on the screenshots look pretty awesome too).

Oh and QuakeZero?
Bring it on!

HonkyPunch

Quakezero?
Wtf is quake zero?
I demand knowledge!

I honestly cant express how excited I am.
I love ID software

StrangeFate

looks great, ship it.

kite

yum that's crunchy & consistent awesome

indian_boy

i wonder if rawkstar is involved in any of these projects?

It's going to be a free and updated version of Quake3, that basicly is an team building exercise for the second internal id software team.

Steve Schulze

Powerslide meets Quake eh. Looks pretty schmick.

moose

looks cool, love the look of the characters. The old-muscle man is pretty awesome.

He did note that id is developing Rage to be a T-rated game, a departure from the company's dark and Mature-rated titles. "We did make the decision that, 'Yeah, the game would probably be a little bit more fun with exploding bodies, but it won't kill us to keep it down at a T rating,'" he said. (Via Gamespot)

Good bye gibs. : ( Id, you were the king of them all.

SkullboX

Well the trailer itself was pretty boring as far as the game went, but it looked amazing.

I hope the vehicle gameplay doesn't completely suck like it did in halflife 2. Man that was awful.

Toomas

Racing seems like huge part of the game so im sure they put some work into it.
Specially cause Carmack is quite a car nut.

spacemonkey

so much interesting shiz from quake con, New team at id - Quake zero, browser based quake 3 style fun.
Rage announced and mention of a new quake with the tech 5 to be made after the second team is formed and they have finished Quake Zero!

Love the old man with the baseball cap!

RazorBladder

FileShack have uploaded another HD video of the trailer, it's still cam but it looks much better:

GameTrailers have also got a 2part streaming vid of carmack talking a lil bit about the tech, looks like there should be a part 3 talking about tools to come.

Fuse

Carmack explains the benefits of megatexture (Razor mentioned the vids)

OK, the huge 400mb+ HD walkthrough vid, ends the same way.
"Ok, let's go look at the tools now..."
End.

Fuck you media morons! Give me my tools video! >:(

EDIT: http://www.quakeunity.com/file=2513 <- Carmack's Keynote!

HellMark

Tools video.

Snowfly

The tools videos are amazing. My first thought was that it's a 3D version of the starcraft map editor. I'm taking it with a grain of salt, but it promises to make porting and texture budgets obsolete...on top of the high res models we do for normal mapping, it kind of blurs the line between game art and prerendered CG, doesn't it? Exciting times.

Imagine an MMO built around this thing!

One term I didn't catch though...what's virtualization?

Edit: Meh. Wikipedia to the rescue. Now slowly trying to squeeze that into the context of the tools vid I just saw...

[/ QUOTE ]
A buzzword, as far as I could figure.
From what he was saying, virtualisation seemed to be referring to the way they were handling the resource allocation with the megatexture stuff. Not that I have any actual clue as to what that means exactly.

And yeah, those tools looked sexy!
