Retrovirus looks very promising.

You just need to go look. Looks a bit early, but it is a 6dof shooter and it appears to be well on it's way.

The eruptions -- as big as the one that buried Pompei -- took place in 1999 along the Gakkel Ridge, an underwater mountain chain snaking 1,800 kilometres (1,100 miles) from the northern tip of Greenland to Siberia. 9 years ago. You think it's still hot enough to melt 10,000 year old ice? I don't.

I wouldn't say that. With the source code the input systems could be expanded and native joystick support added. Remember, there is an Xbox version of Doom 3 the definately uses the "joystick". ;)

Nothing from the Orbital project that's worthwhile other than some tunes, and a bunch of sounds (some live on in IC). As someone else mentioned, that project was pretty much doomed.

Just to add, the other reason it makes sense to stay with Doom 3 is that it will be open source \"soon\". That might open up a whole lot of things.

This is long, but around 20:28 John Carmack tells us Doom 3 will be open source.

Sure, but it's a ton of work. There are some fundemental differences between modding Q4 and D3 even though it's basically the same engine. We're not sure there would be much benefit.

Well, we're not 100% sure Q4 has actual working joystick code either, unless you're developing for XBox360. Frying pan...meet fire. Let's face it, few developers expect you to have a joystick hooked up to your PC to play a FPS. I think they were more common back in the pre-mouselook days of D1 and D...
