Quake 3 Pre-Beta Gameplay

[R00k]

Ok, cool stuff!

anyway, i dont see any bumpmapping either. beside, the first game to feature bumpmapping came out in 2000, which was a year after quake3 came out, so i highly doubt a pre-beta of quake3 wouldve had bumpmapping

WRONG!

I'm fairly sure the first game to heavily use bump-mapping was the game Jurassic Park Trespasser which came out in 1998. The more you know

[MH]

Didn't Trespasser have a software renderer though?

To shift the subject a little from Jurassic Park I'm digging this thread, legit or no. It's cool to see some Quake 3 pre-release stuff on here.

indeed i have played the early quake 3 pre beta version, but the detail sucks compared to the retail, and the maps hardly work (bots dissipear,lava doesnt hurt you,only can play as sarge) there is a beta version cuz i have played it and it is kinda better in a FEW ways but i have to kinda agree with rook

You're thinking of the leaked IHV version, which was a build that was about a year older than the one in the above youtube videos.

yuck! i don't really like quake live, I've always preferred regular q3.
