- h4mx0r, on 04/14/2008, -2/+184Yeah, well if they didn't, we wouldn't have good oatmeal.
- mryokai, on 04/14/2008, -4/+86It's cool when you see the degrees of separation of old games. Like, the source engine was built on the Quake engine mainly and now Half Life is like the overachiving son to Quakes cranky dad.
- bizarrorollins, on 04/14/2008, -1/+65umm.. no mention of team fortress, megaTF, or teamfortress classic?
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -2/+62Jedi Academy FTW!
/play it - exbm2, on 04/14/2008, -5/+48You guys are idiots. it is a graph of only engine modifications not dll.. That means it won't show any mods that are dll only. Action quake 2 gets mentioned because when the quake2 engine source was released they made an engine for it. The Half-Life source engine 'IS' Based on the original half life engine which is based on quake 1.. The leaked source code proves this because there 'STILL' is legacy code from quake 1 in the source engine! DIGG me down and see if a give a shiz
- MrSketch, on 04/14/2008, -0/+41You might be a geek if you looked at the 'tree' and thought "That's not a tree, it contains a cycle (Quake-QuakeWorld-GLQUAKE-Quake), therefore it's a graph."
- NiGHTSChao, on 04/14/2008, -3/+41I saw American McGee's Alice and went ^___________^
- mrelusive, on 04/14/2008, -1/+27Or motor oil.
- webbles, on 04/14/2008, -0/+24they forgot a few...
one big one i see missing is Call of Duty... - Galaeron, on 04/14/2008, -5/+28EPIC FAIL - Where the hell is the original team fortress?
- kmb1794, on 04/14/2008, -1/+24Dugg for Action Quake 2 but almost buried since there's no mention of LithiumQ2.
- markiemarke, on 04/14/2008, -0/+20there are some mods/tcs i was quite fond of that we're excluded from that tree :(
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -1/+21You're right, the Source engine wasn't based on any id product. However, GoldSrc, the Half Life engine, was modified from the Quake 1 engine, not Quake 2.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GoldSrc - Zaggynl, on 04/14/2008, -0/+19arsehole reamed? what's wrong with fragged? :/
- Jektal, on 04/14/2008, -0/+19The Half-Life engine was built on the Quake engine, while the Source engine was built from the ground up, albeit on the Quake engine principles (additive rather than subtractive (Unreal) levels)
- geobay, on 04/14/2008, -0/+19Knowing is half the battle. The other half is lube.
- Ganja420, on 04/14/2008, -0/+18Kingpin is based off of the Quake II engine
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kingpin:_Life_of_Crim ... - Godmil, on 04/14/2008, -2/+20I'm pretty sure when the HL2 source got leaked there was some legacy Quake1 stuff still in there.
- Gudlyf, on 04/14/2008, -0/+17Uh, TeamFortress anyone?
- postalblowfish7, on 04/14/2008, -0/+16QUAKE changed everything. I still remember holding the demo disc on the bus home in middle school, just drooling over the cardboard sleeve with that big Q on it...
- h4mx0r, on 04/14/2008, -5/+20The Source Engine isn't so much part of the family tree except that it was... Well inspired (I suppose) by Half-Life, which uses a modified quake2 engine. The Source Engine was made from the ground up I think, and it's only relation is that it was made for Half-Life 2, which is the sequel to Half-Life, which is the actual relation to Quake.
- BevansDesign, on 04/14/2008, -2/+17Your eyes turned into triangles and you slashed yourself across the face?
- themastersb, on 04/14/2008, -0/+15I'm scared of the oatmeal man
- kgorczyn, on 04/14/2008, -0/+14I loved Quake back in the day. I was an addict for a while... DM3 and DM6 for life! And then I got my Diamond Monster 4MB 3D Card.... and ran timedemos on my P166 MMX.....wow those were the days....
- fhernand, on 04/14/2008, -2/+15with all that time, none of them has created an EarthQuake :-(
- UtopiaInTheSky, on 04/14/2008, -1/+13That game was truly a work of art.
- inactive, on 04/14/2008, -0/+12lots of stuff missing.
- Gudlyf, on 04/14/2008, -0/+11Wow, what a real wiseass comment from someone completely unfamiliar with the origins of Team Fortress. TF started with QuakeWorld. Try speaking up when you know WTF you're talking about.
- Biznarie, on 04/14/2008, -1/+12There talking about the original team fortress which was a quake 1 mod.
- lytan, on 04/14/2008, -0/+10It has a different meaning. You can be the arsehole-reamer and still get fragged, for example. So now you know.
- danwallace, on 04/14/2008, -0/+10Action Quake 2 was ***** awesome. Strafe jumping across buildings in Urban ftw.
- Godmil, on 04/14/2008, -0/+10That game was way better than I expected it to be. There was nothing like leveling up Force Lightning to full then just charging into rooms with bolts flying from both hands, enemies pinned against walls... It was impossible to leave the dark side after all that fun.
- Nesh, on 04/14/2008, -3/+12I bet you get ALL the ladies...
- antdude, on 04/14/2008, -0/+9We need more of these games. Come on, LucasArts!
- Grachk, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9exactly. this tree is pretty lame without team fortress anywhere.
- daveisfera, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9It's interesting to see how the ID engines have been used less and less over time.
- Spor, on 04/14/2008, -3/+11Why do people care so much about this? It certainly isn't comment worthy.
- neotrantor, on 04/14/2008, -1/+9epic.
- tRANIS, on 04/14/2008, -0/+8lol that was the best lightsaber action for the SW genre ever.
to bad you could beat it in like 4 hours. - pxlpshr, on 09/04/2008, -1/+8Seeing that Prey is not listed, then it's a reasonable assumption to conclude this chart is dated.
- TobiasParker, on 04/14/2008, -0/+7See what i did here?
- jjbud, on 04/14/2008, -0/+7how could you forget Urban Terror.. .best free FPS ever!!
- ZenMojo, on 04/14/2008, -0/+7I think the (spurious) reasoning is that Half-Life spawned source and Quake spawned Half-Life.
- gdstudios, on 04/14/2008, -1/+8They seem to have forgotten to include the entire EA Medal of Honor series. I would think that would be included before some of the obscure RTCW hacks.
- tristanbethe, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Ahhw i only wanted to know who was visor's dad! but this is cool too
- pxlpshr, on 09/04/2008, -1/+7just wait till Quake Live drops!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_Zero - Narishma, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6The Doom 3 engine (id tech 4) is used in Doom 3, Quake 4, Prey and ETQW.
- hexydes, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Agreed. It was amazing how there were hundreds of mods for Quake II, tens of mods for Quake III, maybe a few mods for Doom III, and then...that's pretty much it.
- Bologner, on 04/14/2008, -0/+6Anyone have a crowbar I could borrow for, like, 2 seconds?
