Usually when a PC game is ported over to the both the Xbox 360 and PS3, one developer works on the game for both platforms.
Not so in the case of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars.
Last month MTV Multiplayer saw a demo of Enemy Territory: Quake Wars on the Xbox 360. Ported from last year's PC title, the Xbox 360 and the PS3 versions of the game will be out on May 27. Two different development teams worked on the ports - Nerve Software on the Xbox 360 and Underground Development (formerly Z-Axis) on the PS3.
Did id think there was a difference between PS3 and Xbox 360 users? Why was the PS3 version made to be more similar to the PC? Was cross-compatibility between the platforms ever an option?
BLG writes, "Alongside the Wolfenstein and DOOM franchises, there are the Quake games. Known for fast-paced and insane multiplayer deathmatch action, there was a time Quake was best known for its single-player design.
That all changed as time passed (i.e., after Quake 3 Arena). Multiplayer deathmatches were never the same.
As other FPS games leaned more into improved narrative and storytelling, id Software delivered a genre-defining multiplayer experience.
Quake 3, and the iterations, will always be one of the best multiplayer series releases.
As far as campaigns, I think 1 and 4 are great, but that 2 was garbage.
Quake Champions was a joke on and didn't capitalize on much of anything that made the series great.
Ben takes a look at what we can expect from Quake 5 in light of the recent buzz of activity at id Software recently. Hopeful at best but some serious food for thought.
