Quake 3: Arena Source GPL'ed

inotocracy writes "At John Carmack's Quakecon 2005 keynote he promised that the Quake 3 Arena source code would soon be released-- turns out he wasn't just pulling our leg! Today it was released, weighing in at 5.45mb, it makes for a quick download and a whole lotta fun. Developers, start your compilers!"

Tinyyyyy. I'd rather have the Unreal source though

That sounds great, but when will we get Source's source?

Unreal Engine 4

In other news, Epic confirmed that they already have a working version of their new-new engine Unreal Engine 4. http://www.eurogamer.net/article.php?article_id=60 584

It seems that they've been working on it for the past 2 years. I knew Tim Sweeney was good, but it seems Epic will be the one pushing 3D tech over the next few years. So it's 2 games using D3 tech for Carmack and 20+ games for Sweeney (IIRC all Ubisoft games will use UE3 so that's like 20-30 games not to mention all the other 15+ UE3 games already announced).

that's an idea you'll not gain wuick support on while surfing on a zealously pro-linux site. The words "not free" are an abomination. :-P However, popups are a vile and terrible evil. And those moron activex deals that automatically try to install themselves when you visit a site are vile as well. I use firefox... Blocked popups and none of that activex crapf.

Slashdot a day late...
