Rather Major TeamFortress 2 News
Our friend and mailbag director, Paubo, recently exchanged an email or two with the team behind TeamFortress 2. The recent license agreement that was bundled with the Quake2 v3.14 source code has raised several questions about the status of TF2 since it will be a commercial product, considering the license agreement does not allow the source to be modified and sold as a commercial product. Paubo contacted the TF2 team regarding their situation and was told that if the TF2 team is unable to obtain a license from id software, they may not use the Quake2 engine for TeamFortress 2!

FAQ
The unofficial
Heretic II FAQ is up to version .004, now at its new home at TeleFragged.
Screenshots
Two more new Heretic
II screenshots are out on GameSlice.
Brian Pelletier made a lengthy .plan update answering several more questions concerning Heretic2. Here is part of it:
Why the name:
The story of Heretic 2 directly
follows the events in Heretic. The reason Hexen wasn't named Heretic 2
was because the story didn't directly follow Heretic. Heretic, Hexen
and Hexen 2 followed
the story of the 3 Serpent Riders. Hexen took place 1000 years(or so) after
Heretic and on an all together different world.
Heretic 2 now goes back to
tell the tale of what happened to our hero after he defeated D'Sparil.
And bring you back to reintorduce you to the world of Heretic. Heretic
2
seemed to be the name that
fit the best.
How the game came to be:
Steve Raffel (one of Raven's
founders) Came up with the idea to do Heretic 2 a couple years ago. And
to do it from a 3rd PP. This was before Tomb Raider
came out. Steve and
I played around with the idea of bringing you back to the Heretic world
and really making it a believable world that our character has his quest
in.
We wanted to do it 3PP
because that would make it a challange for us. We
are creative people here at Raven and because of that we like to challange
ourselves creatively.
This job would bet real boring
if every game we made was a FPS. So what we wanted
to do was try something new and give the gamer a new playing experience.
So we
got the OK to do the game
and I was given the lead to take to completion.
Thanks sCary's
SiN
SiN news from Ritual Entertainment seems to be the flavor of the week. Check out part of this post from Beau Anderson on the HardCorps messageboard:
The truth is,
nobody but we here at Ritual knows what Sin looks like at this moment.
All the screenshots and monsters you have seen up until
this point are
old news as we have re-done most all of the monsters and weapons, re-vamped
our skinning method, and the lighting model in the
levels has changed
drastically. Not to mention the special efects we have put in since receiving
the Q2 code. Localized pain and damage is very
cool, and has
a lot of cool side affects that will push gameplay beyond what people now
know. Can you imagine the ability to use the sniper rifle
to zoom in on
a guys left eye and shoot it out? That technology is in. Thanks
