I understand that iD have generously allowed a (couple of?) devs access to the Doom 3 engine source to port it to the Pandora...

Since Quake 4 is based on the same engine, does that mean we are likely to see Q4 as well as D3? Or is the Quake 4 engine just a variant of the D3 engine?

If it's news to Tinnus, I think it's news to the rest of us.

Are you sure you are not looking at an April fools?

There was an apriils fools post, which you could be looking at, our you're misinterpreting craigs statement about maybe being able to run doom3- its not open source, not yet anyway.

I have a horrible feeling I was, but I don't think it was... Could have sworn someone was getting access to it though...

On the otherhand its 1:15 AM here, I probably shouldn't be up posting and pondering about this thing.

I am so desperate for a Pandora :(

When idgames does release the source code for both of those games, we'll most likely get both - due to the amount of talented coders in this forum. And it was mostly likely an april fools post you were reading.

I dunno, maybe he's chuckling because he made the April Fools thread for Doom 3? I can't find it, guess it was deleted. He even had Laurent helping him double team the poor forum folk.

Doom3 goes open source this year some time.
So it'll be ready when the Pandora is shipped. Awesome! ;)

Nice! :) It'd be nice to know where you got that info from though.

Says so on the Wikipedia.
I think there was an interview at QuakeCon where Carmack or someone said they were planning for a 2009 release as long as all their licensees were done making money with it.
