John Carmack said so.

August 3, 2007 - At John Carmack's keynote speech tonight at this year's QuakeCon, the millionaire programmer made mention that there may be a version of Quake Arena in the works for the Nintendo DS.

If he said so, ill believe. And hes also considering Wii projects. Wii and DS selling power can convince.

 

[Linkup]

Carmack can only do good things for 3d on DS and MPH is kind of getting old.

 

[ndreamer]

wasn't this mentioned before ? be cool having an online title like that with more then a 4 player limit.

 

[Lobster]

A Quake game on DS would be awesome! I've always thought that they should port Quake 3 to DS.

 

[NPC]

I can see it happening. Heck, MP:H already looks and plays like a Quake arena game.

 

[:Motorbass]

WOAH! YES!!!

 

[Linkup]

I believe he would like to do Orcs and Elves for the wii, which would probably be the sword and shield game he's wanted to do for the wii some time ago. If his ds projects are a success we'll probably see wii stuff.

He talked a lot about the DS in the Quakecon keynote yesterday. Orcs & Elves will be ported to the DS and probably the rest of id's cellphone games.

Yeah your probably right, but check out this quote.

“I hope we can do a Wii game with Orcs & Elves. We’re not going to see (their newly announced game) Rage on the Wii, but I’d be happy to see some other stuff on there.” - John Carmack, id Software

Maybe there will be some other stuff as well.

Theres already a homebrew version of Quake on the DS:

though I imagine that some professionals will be able to do a better job though.

 

[Nabs]

please bring quake to the wii.

 

[Nuclear Muffin]

Quake 3 Arena DS FTW!

 

[White Man]

Before anyone gets riled up a year from now and asks where this game is, keep in mind that he talked about Quake DS in theoretical "I would like to do it" terms. From the sound of the rest of the QuakeCon talk, it sounds like they have quite a few concrete projects on their plate before they can get to this. Well, I guess the Orcs and Elves team could do the port when they finish that.

 

[rakka]

Yes please, carmack.

For multiplayer Quake >>>>>>>> Metroid Prime.

Not to say MPH is a bad game though.

 

[nestea]

Actually, supposedly it's not touch controlled or fully 3D... Too early to tell what to expect out of it though.

 

[arcader]

Quake Areena DS sounds like a good idea

 

[Vic]

Actually, supposedly it's not touch controlled or fully 3D... Too early to tell what to expect out of it though.

Yeah, he said that it might be the good ol' Doom/Wolf3D control style.

 

[Lobster]

Well that sounds stupid..how can you not make it touch or 3d?

 

[nestea]

Well that sounds stupid..how can you not make it touch or 3d?

I'm trying not to think about it. I don't want it to interrupt my fantasy of playing Quake over wi-fi on my DS.

 

[Mr. Pointy]

Are Lobotomy still around? They could port Quake 1 to the DS with a couple of mission packs and a batshit awesome multiplayer mode.

 

[Linkup]

Yeah, he said that it might be the good ol' Doom/Wolf3D control style.

I recall playing Quake like this, but I'm pretty sure I've also played it with a kb/mouse also. I'm not really sure since I haven't played it in many years.
