Browser-Based "Quake Live" Trailer Released

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the like-shooting-fish-in-a-browser dept.

RPS has a great trailer for the new browser-based Quake Live game currently in beta. While it might make the community contribution which has sanded the rough edges off of any of the installments to the franchise a little harder, another round of fragging that I can pick up from any browser could be hugely fun.

    Looks like HTML 5 and CSS 3 were definitely worth the wait.

    Will it support SLI? Anti-aliasing? How do I set up the profiles? Is there really nothing to install, or is this one of those "install this mini app" kinds deals? Can I customize the controls? Mod the graphics? I mean, wtf?! Gimmie some information, Carmack, you wiry ghostly little son of a bitch!!

    I don't imagine playing Quake in a web browser window would be as much fun as playing it fullscreen, anyway

    Yeah, it's difficult to enjoy an FPS when you can only move backwards, forwards, stop and reload..
