Quake Wars Goes Online, Learns Korean

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 17 Dec 2009 21:40:00 MST

Splash Damage have announced today that Korean developers Dragonfly are working on an online-only version of Quake Wars, called...Quake Wars Online.

It's moving into beta as we converse, with 100,000 spots available, but since those spots are Korea-only, that information is presented only as information, not a recommendation.

Still, you'd expect the final game to be a little easier to sign up for, especially given the Western origins of the IP. In the meantime, feel free to blunder your way through the Korean site below, which has plenty of media for you to find randomly, all the while wishing Google Translator did as good a job with Korean as it does with French or Spanish.

What PS3 Games Japan Gets In June (Hint: MGS4 and...)

Brian Ashcraft — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 04:00:00 MDT

Looking at this month's release schedule, it sure looks like a ton of DS games are coming out. After that, looks like the PS2 is getting the most new games, followed by the PS3. The Wii, the PSP and the Xbox 360 are bringing up the rear in number of new games. But wait! Let's take a closer look at this month's PS3 release schedule:

June 5th FIFA Street 3 ¥7329
June 5th Dragon Ball Z Burst Limit ¥7800
June 12th Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots ¥8800
June 12th Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots Special Edition ¥9800
June 12th Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots Premium Pack ¥51800
June 12th Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots With DualShock 3 (Clear Black) ¥49800
June 12th Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots With DualShock 3 (Satin Silver) ¥49800
June 12th Metal Gear Solid 4 Guns of the Patriots With DualShock 3 (Ceramic White) ¥49800
June 26th Quake Wars Enemy Territory ¥7140
June 26th The Darkness ¥7140
Dust Cover Filter 3 Black ¥1554
Dust Cover Filter 3 White ¥1554

So that's actually just ~~four~~ five games compared to the Xbox 360's six game June release and the Wii's seven titles. But you know what, Japanese PS3 owners probably could not care less.

Quake Wars Demo is Live

Mark Wilson — Mon, 10 Sep 2007 13:40:43 MDT

The Enemy Territory: Quake Wars demo is ready for download on the game's official site. It actually supports both single and multiplayer modes, so you can kill bots and friends alike. We actually saw the featured map (Valley) in Leipzig and I can attest to it being both large and beautiful. And if this Mac were only a PC, we'd be base jumping off mountaintops into enemy bases instead of just telling you about it. Maybe it's time for that Vista install.

Anyone who completes the download, hit the comments and let us know the size, experience, etc. Because we want details. And we want you to do our job for us. Hit the jump for the full press release.

Download it here

The Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars PC demo is now available from the game's official site: http://www.enemyterritory.com/. Head to the "download demo" tab for a list of local mirrors. You can also view a list of available mirrors at this site:http://community.enemyterritory.com/index.php?q=node/130.
The Enemy Territory: QUAKE Wars PC Demo (Multiplayer & Single-Player) comes with the final version of Valley, one of the larger battlegrounds in the game. Set in Yosemite, California, Valley has the Global Defense Force on the attack, as they attempt to foil a Strogg contamination plot centering on a water treatment facility. Valley features a great blend of close quarters infantry action, vehicle battles and aircraft dogfights, and the varied terrain combining mountains, waterways, tunnels and industrial structures allows for many different playing styles. To top it all off, there's a multitude of optional side missions and plenty of opportunities to try out the various defense turrets, artillery and radar deployables - Valley is a prime example of the frantic and diverse action you'll find in Enemy
Territory: QUAKE Wars.

If you want to learn more about Valley, read our Valley Map Guide
(http://community.enemyterritory.com/index.php?q=node/91) for a full run-down of the team objectives, secondary missions and a host of tactical tips for getting the most out of the various GDF and Strogg weapons, items, deployables and vehicles.

The Demo also features ETQW's bots, so you can explore the map and gameplay in single-player mode with computer-controlled opponents...

Quake Wars Pushed Back

Mike Fahey — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 14:40:23 MST

Those of you waiting with baited breath for the release Enemy Territory: Quake Wars look to have a much longer wait on your hands then previously expected. Once slated for late 2006; then early 2007, Activision's financial report indicates the game has slipped to a fiscal year 2008 release. Of course, fiscal year 2008 starts in April, so it certainly isn't as bad as it sounds. I'm a little disappointed, but as long as they use the time to make a better game I suppose I can't complain. It looks amazing so far, all realistically brown.

An Activision spokesperson recently told Eurogamer to expect the game before Christmas, and that "it's an id Software title so it's done when it's done." Michael Fahey
