Quake will be running on our toaster this time next week, mark our words. It's about the last platform it hasn't been ported to, after all.
Earlier this week, we reported on Quake III being ported to the iPod touch. But it seems elsewhere, techies have been busy getting the original Quake to run on one of Qualcomm's Android prototypes.
It was being shown off at the CTIA industry show last week. And while we get the purpose of coding this kind of demo it's hammering home the point that today's handsets have impressive graphic and processing power we still wonder about the control thing.
Would you really want to play Quake on a touchscreen handset? Wouldn't the gameplay have to be dumbed down to suit this control mechanism, or could something innovative be done with onscreen overlays?
Oh, and realistically, how often will you have someone within wi-fi range to deathmatch against? One to ponder. Now, can someone get Halo 3 running on our hairdryer?
