Very nice to see Sauer getting press, particularly alongside some large and prestigious projects.

Annoyed they described it as "making your own games" - always sucks when we get a rash of people who think this is some game-maker app.

Also was a pretty random sampling of the Quake-derived options - they mention Tremulous but the bigger Nexuiz.

Likewise, if you're going to discuss free gaming, why discuss mods for non-free-engines?

Perfect for stingy gamers?

And yeah, I don't like that 'make your own games' thing either..

Well they did mention it correctly. "Free engine/editor to make your own maps/games.."
But we know that might be a bit too subtle for some..

They couldn't have just said "open source"?

No, then people would think everything was open source.

publicity... a friend told me recently on german TV there was a documentary of violence in videogames, and they showed people playing cube (or sauer) on LAN.

Anyone any more info on this?

:DDD
violence?!

Sauerbraten is one of least violent FPS games you can actually find. Is it how good and how fast it is that it makes sauer violent?;]

It doesn't even contain specific parts being blown off :[

Damn, I wish there was headshot support in sauer and ac ;]

That's actually a quite complex statement, since distros like Debian apparently expect content to be open as well for inclusion in teh repository.

by metlslime on 01/11/2007 21:23

well i don't speak german, and my memory is a bit fuzzy, but it was some sort of "investigative news" story for television about violence and video games, about 10-15 minutes long. I think the segment was centered around some recent news story.

Most of it was voice-over narration while they showed various footage. For about 2 minutes, the footage was some teenage or twentysomething guys, about four of them, in some dark basement or garage playing a small LAN game of sauerbraten.

Another segment seemed to be someone in the Crytek offices showing off Farcry.

Another segment was some people in the forest doing paintball or shooting guns or something.

Yeah, or footage from Mel Gibson's new movie :)

I wonder what happened to the poor guys in the basement. I hope they are still able to play Sauer..

uff.. finally got it. the video is not complete, you can see the guys playing cube on minute 5:20 though. for those who don't speak german:

5:20
----

focus tv: [..] the clan fighternight.de meets on the attic floor. at first they play warcraft 3.. shooting till the aliens come. every half our the players need some extra adrenalin: they start cube. now they all fight each other (ffa), it's all about killing.

random player 1: the map is quite small and only the people here at the lan are participating, there are no computer controlled enemies. it's about competition.

focus tv: hardly any game is more hectic and faster than cube. the goal is to eliminate all the enemies within a ~minute.

camera guy: now seriously, how long can you guys master this game? its quite fast.

random player: it depends on how often one plays such games and if one is used to it. me personally, i could not play this game here longer than 0.5h - 1h.

camera guy: what happens then?

random player: no idea, i don't know. i think after that, you'll get crazy or something, or it will become real-life, i don't know *laughs*.
