DOOM 3 in Linux Format
The holiday issue of Linux Format, a UK-based magazine devoted to our platform of choice, features a six-page review of DOOM 3. The magazine can be found in US-based retail bookstores such as Barnes and Noble (at least, that’s where I found a copy). The feature also includes an interview with id Software’s Timothee Besset, during which Quake IV came up:
LXF: Can we expect Quake IV to run on Linux? Will the Linux client be released with the game this time, rather than downloadable a short while after as with Doom 3? TB: I can’t give you any information about Quake IV Linux at this point, but I’d do my best to make sure there is a Linux client out. The Linux release happened a few months after the Windows release, simply because I was working on the full game for Windows until we got gold. My work with id covers more things than Linux.
