Quake Zero announced: Free browser-based Quake 3

Probably - It's doubtful we'll see this in flash.

It'll probably be Java/OpenGL based, since que Quake2 engine already was ported to Java ( google for Jake2 ) and the webstart/jogl/lwjgl technology is pretty mature right now.

So, no Wii =(

We want to sue them into the stone age.

It's very unlikely it'll be Ajax-based, since javascript isn't exactly a speed demon =)

Its called activex (use google). They are basically just running the quake3 engine in a window which is wrapped inside the browser. Similar to shockwave3d, anark, wild tangent, etc.

Could you tell me where did you see that this was Javascript based? The site (unit3d.com) is a bit sketchy about the implementation details, but it's seemingly a -plugin- developed atop the .NET platform. No Javascript.

Oh, I got it:

It supports C# and Javascript -scripting- which is a completely different ball game. The plugin/standalone engine isn't built over Javascript.

Don't get me wrong: I'm no Java junkie. For me, it still is too big and clumsy (it's been showing some interesting improvements, though), but it's a well known technology that (supposedly) can be ported to different OSes without much pain.

But then, it's confirmed for PC and Mac. Where's the Linux love? The lack of a Linux port could be a good point for the bet that Id will use something on the lines of Unity.

Well, enough boring techy talk. Bring the browser-based BFGs already!

And thanks to pointing me to Unity, it seems to be a nifty tool =D gotta tinker with it someday...

Yeah Unity is awesome, too bad its mac only.

That is really cool, thanks for showing me that.
