Quake family tree

All you gaming geeks will appreciate this graphic. It shows all the games that have been based on id software’s various 3D rendering engines including Quake, Quake 2, Quake 3, and Doom 3. Unfortunately, past success does not guarantee future success, so it will be interesting to see which games use the Doom 3 engine other than Quake 4. Many new games are based on Epic Games’ Unreal / Unreal 2 engine and presumably Valve Software will license their incredible Half Life 2 engine to developers. For a shape of things to come check out some of the screenshots from the Unreal 3 engine.
