As recently announced that Quake would be going mobile, Gamecloud had the chance to sit down with Paul Trowe of Pulse Interactive, the company behind the project, to, of course, have a few words regarding the mobile port of id Software's classic Quake. Here's a slice:
"The port of Quake Mobile is being created by developer Bear Naked Productions and Trowe said the final result will be the first ever Open GL based game on a mobile phone. As the screenshots that were released last week show, the game at least looks like the PC version of Quake. Don’t expect this game to work on your mobile phone, however. Trowe made it clear to Gamecloud that Quake Mobile is strictly for the next generation series of mobile phones with 3D graphics chips. Indeed Quake Mobile will debut in July not in the US but in Korea where it will be embedded in an upcoming next-generation mobile phone. Trowe declined to say which mobile phone Quake Mobile will appear but did say it was a game-oriented phone design. 'We had 50,000 units planned but the pre-orders have already gone up to 300,000,' said Trowe. What about controlling the game itself? Trowe says that should not be a problem with some upcoming next-gen phones as they will have an analog stick included. Trowe said that the US can expect the first phones that will support Quake Mobile to be released late this year."
For the rest of the goodies, such as the release date, multiplayer aspects, etc, give the full article a read.
