Quake 3 on the iPad!

Sounds like it is pretty clumsy still, but it actually works. Pretty impressive what the A4 can do.

I can't wait to try this on my iPad when I jailbreak it this week. :)

I'd really like any of the Quake games to be officially ported, for those of us who aren't jailbroken...

Yeah I'd love to play Q1 again. Why not on the iPad!

I've yet to try an FPS on the iPhone or iPad, but as an avid former Q3 player, I can't imagine the controls working. At all.

Re: Quake 3 on the iPad!

Yeah I have to agree. I'm a little worried that the experience just can't measure up. Nothing like using a mouse and keyboard.

I think the original Quake--and also Unreal--would be fine on the iPad. Both DOOM and Wolf3D have a control scheme that can be customized based on your own preferences, and I think both games run well on the iPhone. They also run well on my iPad, but of course they are pixelated at 2x resolution. Considering that the games were pretty pixelated to begin with, it's hardly noticeable!
