I've seen news from the quake con. The new developpement team in ID software itself (not like splash damage which is not included in ID, no, it's a real second team inside of ID) is in charge of quake series developpement since now.
They will develop the next quake (number 5), but before that, they will develop... Quake zero !
Why I said that here ? Coz quake zero will be a modified port of quake 3 into a new form (browser integrated or something like this, It's a bit confused even for journalists it seems) and I hope efreeze will work on this new version (mod compatibility) or at least, I hope that a fork from efreeze will be develop in this new version.
They've explained that their main goal is to do a game much more simple (interface, configuration, ...), FREE OF CHARGE and designed for competition. I let you imagine all the new fresh players we could have !
Even if a game is long to develop, quake 3 is already working and there are less work than a complete game. Maybe even if the linux version will be better (fucking mmap on OSS) an maybe it will be the next best FPS for competition (quake 4 was not a success in my mind)
Like always, wait and see. I ve just find this interessant and I wanted to share it with you, the best community <3 Kocham cie. Hehehe
