John Carmack talks Quake 3

John Carmack talks Quake 3 is the story today, and it fits right into the fast-moving PC gaming pileup of June 1998. John Carmack updated his .plan with some multiplayer info on Quake 3. He talks about how the networking architecture for Quake 2 was just not the right thing. Quake 3 will have an all new entity communication mechanism that should be solidly better than any previous system. For players keeping one eye on patches, demos, hardware, and whatever the big studios are cooking up next, this is exactly the kind of update that can disappear in a day and matter a month later. Welcome to PC gaming, where the news moves faster than most download mirrors.
