Quake 3 port for X-Box!

**Bobbi** · January 1st, 1970

Even though we rarely reported about this kind of news so far,
I was simply too impressed to ignore this great piece of news: Over in
this thread,
Carcharius announced the immediate release of his X-Box port of Quake 3,
which, after a first test, seems to be running absolutely smooth! Here's
a snipset from the release notes:

So what does it do?
As it stands now it will let you play the single player game
portion of Quake 3: Arena. You should also be able to play on a
network and over the internet, against other Xbox players as well
as people running Quake 3 for the pc. For internet play you will
require a valid CD key from the pc version of Quake 3.

It also has the ability to load and run some of the many mods
available for Quake 3.

As usual with these X-Box releases,
there is no direct link available for legal reason - you can find
it if you dig a bit through the IRC network however. Huge thanks to Centric
for the news!

This makes me wounder if the next-gen consoles will have PC emulators

No... the source code for quake3 is publicly available. Cool news though

And if its not legal, makes me wonder why it should be posted at all? Granted though, that's a debate for another time. This is perfectly legal

Yeah well it shows that consoles are able to run PC games quite well at least. ( I don't now just how much he changed the source though ) Normally it's console titles being ported to PC I guess.
