human2k · Mar 29, 2003

Just curious, games I know that use Quake 3 engine:

RTCW
MOH
BF1942
Serious Sam
Jedi Knight

Is that it? BTW how much does carmack get from these games?

Serious Sam is not based on Quake 3 Engine.

Technically not a FPS, but yeah, it's based on the Q3 engine

Jmmsbnd007 · Mar 29, 2003

I belive it's a couple hundred thousand to use the engine...

Battlefield 1942 doesn't use the quake 3 engine either. It uses the refractor 2 engine, the updated version of the engine that powers codename: eagle.

It costs over a million. The Unreal engine was like 150K.

Oops. I must have been remembering quake 2 specs, I think that was like around 300k or something. But yeah, Quake 3 was out in 1999 and it still has pretty good graphics...

what about soldier of fortune? (and 2?)

LH · Mar 30, 2003

Uh, the unreal engine is like $300k + royalties or $500k and no royalties. When the Quake engine was basically the only one on the market it went for a million, but its not that high anymore, its more inline to the Unreal engine. id made a hell of alot of money off their engines, and they continue to do so.

That would actually be Jedi Outcast..Jedi Knight came out in '97.

It would cool if Blizzard licensed there engine of War3 to EA, that way Generals wouldn't have sucked a$$.

I don't think it is. I could be wrong, but whenever I've read about the bf1942 engine it has always said the engine was basically all on its own.

link that says refractor is a proprietary engine

0roo0roo · Mar 30, 2003

how about just licensing the interface to ea. left click select, right click action. duh!!

Generals isn't too bad, the matches are too short and GLA just plain sucks...

id gets $150,000 each time someone licenses one of their engines. The Quake II engine was pretty popular also.

Holy piss is Epic and DE think their engine is good. I never heard that Quake I went for a mil but that's understandable since that was completely 3D and the first online game. I think Raven was one of the only companies to license it for Hexen II. Maybe I'm wrong.

Not sure about a million for the license, but the Q3 engine currently costs $250,000, and cost $500,000 when it was introduced a few years ago.

I think some Star Trek games use the Q3 engine as well, not sure tho.

VBboy · Mar 31, 2003

What are you smoking? Serious Sam is not based on any Quake/iD engine.

What are all the FPS games that are based on Quake 3 engine?
