@Bludhoundz8 The whole video is me vs. bot's. You can have a max of 3 bot's, plus your self making a total of 4 on any given map. Dreamcast Quake III gets an extra mark here as the AI is more intelligent than the PC version. It also contains the original tier single player mode where you face the AI on their own maps, some changes here and there but your find it's a 10/10 game mode with an extra VMU maze to complete for becoming the Quake 3 champ which is different on all difficulty settings.
hot damn! i used to play this on PC and those graphics are just as good! may have to pickup that dreamcast thats been sitting at the local microplay recently...
@AAMD11 Keep your eyes open. Quake 3 could be released for XBOX 360 today on XBL Marketplace. Will not be the same with a lack of Keyboard & Mouse as that was the tools we had on Dreamcast but Dreamarena Fever ere I come!!!!!!!!! :)
@AAMD11 No problem. Quake Arena Arcade is a great little version. The good times are back tho less serious than it was 10 years ago. Very pleased with it. Enjoy!!! :)
@PrrrromotionGiven 1st of March 2002 was the day Dreamarena was taken offline. Your need Dreamkey 3 to get online with a DC today tho that's something I stopped doing like 10 years ago...
I remember useing the controller to move and the mouse to aim. ah, the good old 56k days! I remember bitching about the PC users having better internet speed then us Dreamcast user.
You can still play on independent servers. Try signing back on guys theres servers up for this game! i recommend importing a broadband adapter from japan.
Back in 2008 it looked better, youtube has messed it up over time and this was before they started to support HD. Was recored on a DVD Recorder VOB, compressed to DivX and the original is fine. Blame youtube.
yes you can my friend live befor my house he got a dreamcast online and we play quake 3 online...how many people you think is online 5,10....no they have like 200 people is online no joke
do you have xbox live its the same thing if you dont ok you need i dont think so the only way its you need a modem because in this time laptop was not technologic to do that
Requires the dc-mappack.pk3 52MEG if you were playing genuine dreamcast maps... The game is coming to XBOX 360 XBLA, but how sad will it be with the lack of Keyboard & Mouse??? :(
yeah that's gonna suck no keyboard or mouse but im guessing itll be more like quake live and more like the quake 4 controls which werent too bad for the 360
Sega closed all the SegaNet server but people on the dreamcast could still get to the PC servers. There are still some games you can play online and there are some where all the servers are gone. To bad, but at least you can still play some online.
For what it's worth, I too had lots of fun on Quake 3 for the Dreamcast and I remember getting on some custom PC servers that could have odd settings.
I was able to record some online games on a VCR at the time and I have one at least that was ripped onto the computer. I don't have a working VCR any more though :( I could stick it on here but the quality might suck.
I had a US Unreal T version too that you could play with the Browser disc and get online with.
SegaNet has been gone for a long time now. But people can still get the PC servers on there Dreamcast. That is how people play other games online, but some online games can not do it anymore because all the SegaNet Servers are closed down
The online side of Unreal T for Dreamcast was cut from the european version...
Dreamarena in europe was locked to european players which kinda kept things smooth-ish for our sad lil 33k modems and Quake3. I recall the US DC Q3 was world wide, had it running on my DC for a while so I could play for free so maybe thats one of the reasons why US DC Q3 wasnt as smooth online as it could of been??
I used to run a server for this game frequently. It was limited to 4 players by the game design as I recollect. I had it running on a 2.4 ghz machine and I connected to it with my Dreamcast over my internal network. I used the Dreamcast Mouse and Keyboard and I had it set up as a railgun only server most of the time. It was a server side Mod and it was a fun time for a while. Too bad the game servers are being taken over by Big companies. It used to be free
I used to play DC QuakeIII all the time, You haven't lived until you've kept every finger crossed to hope the 4 player connection works over a 33.6kbps modem ;-), until the servers went or I got broadband and using dialup became stupid... can't remember which. I even sent of for the final Dreamkey update (Dreamkey 3 - Anyone remember that?) Dreamcast was a great console, best console before the current crop/crap of consoles came in. :-)
I have been asking around alot!! PLEASE ANSWER MY QUESTION! Is it possible to play this game on the dreamcast splitscreen using 2 sets of mouse and keyboard??!!!?? So 2 people using a mouse and keyboard in split screen on the Sega Dreamcast???
Say in the PAL manual, page 36. "Each player is allowed to use up to two peripherals simultaneously." It also adds that, "but two Dreamcast controllers used by one player is not allowed".
I read that as a YES, 2 Mice and Keyboards can be used on dreamcast at the same time when playing Quake 3.
I wonder why is only 4 player on internet an 30fps,, the dreamcast is not weak, an I consider unreal tournament better on dc, I enjoy the online back in the day :D
They still have servers available if you live in the USA. You can still get online but the dreamcast comes with a dial up modem. If you have cable or DSL you need to get the broadband adapter. send me a message if you want a good link to a forum about this same issue. I just googled it. Hope this helps man.
Haha you fucking wish it was a port of the Dreamcast version!! The video quality here is bollox, cheers YouTube... Other than that the DC version was very faithful as could be to the PC version. At the time the masses never even had PC's that could run Quake 3 as well as what the DC was pushing. PS2 Q3 was done by EA and looks jack all like the DC version. On Dreamcast I did and you can, play PC players who have the DC_mappack..
BTW Dreamcast Quake 3 also runs in VGA. Mouse & Keyboard. AVIT!
Because Electronic Arts (EA) I guess, built the game from the ground up and added there own elements to the levels. Its called tampering. The FOV on PS2 was way out making everything look wide. IMO it did not resemble Quake 3 very well at all. Unreal Tourny on PS2 was better than Dreamcast mind. Q3 PS2 came at a time when not many people knew how to code on the machine, get the best out of it. One of the earliest FPS there was for PS2...
I loved that years of Dreamarena and everything which had something to do with it, including the online gaming. When I've listened the music of the "Q3A" menu a bunch of memories have came to me. Simply some of the best years with SEGA!
Something about Quake III never quite gelled with me. I much preferred it on DC, but even then it had a very impersonal atmosphere. It was just map after map with no goal in sight. Dip in, play a few stages turn off. I quickly wondered what the point was.
haha yeah! Made me go and buy at new PC. At the time P4 2.4Ghz had just come out and thought it was smart I could run 4 Quake3's on my new PC all at the same time lol. I later started playing 3wave which was awesome, but at the end of the day the PC scene was a bunch of ignorant bast ards and I lost intrest. DC Q3 was quality!!
On dreamcast we all grew together and respected each other as if the scene was one LaRgE clan in its self. Fucking amazing times that have not been repeated on any system since. The magic comes from everyone playing on the same hardware. When I hit PC everyone was out to win and I never seen so many cheating time nudging 125fps vof twisting mothers in my life.
CONT: Some would even drain the bollox out of a server just to try and be ahead of everyone else. All I saw was many, many poor players who had no idea on how to control a map because they were pathectic 1 life every min spam shooters. Alot of serious players jumped to 3wave and from me PC Q3 was best played via 3wave. Maybe I enetered PC Q3 scene a bit late, but at the time it was Cr@p.
CONT: so having said that, on PC it was each to thier own because there wasnt much friendlyness going on. Even other dreamcast players felt the same having spent a heck of alot of money to jump on PC Q3.
We also started running the DC_mappak for our selfs just to keep the flame alive. Was laughable because on our grounds we owned where the pc boy thought it was just a woopy-do free download. DC Q3 for the win. ;-)
Completely agreed. The community was the perfect size, small enough to always find people you have met before, and large enough over the years to always find a bunch of servers to play with people you haven't. Plus, we pretty much all DM/FPS virgins. It was really interesting to see basic strategies develop and swiftly become adopted across the community. Fact is, this is the first and last FPS game setup so well for 1v1 on any console since then. Being able to spec a match was great.
Also, I would say various PCq3 communities were quite decent because there is no unified "PC q3 community". Many branched off from various mods and laughably different point releases. Some better then others. For example the more hardcore quake3'ers (osp>cpma) still have a rather large yet tight nit community. Many of them are decent, of course some are complete dicks. Though, to hang and have fun there you have to really try to up your game. Not my gig anymore. Can't wait for QuakeLive!
Because the PC players were generally a bunch of nobheads. The PC version may have been the better game, but the players on the DC version were far better to play with.
no offense but i think thats all in your head. I saw plenty bba dc players go at it against pc and win. also it helps to oil mouse rollers not to nitpick.
get xfire(dot com) add me, rabidnova, ill give you q3:arena downloadlink, its gone open source for pc, and to eb honst,its the best fps ive played (and ive played alsmot all of them that mena something onln8ie) its allways the same, but there loads to do in quake! not gotten boared and been playing for about 5 years now
This cost me a fortune playing online. I payed 1p a minute on BT and one quarter it was about £90. I was in a clan called team frag and then started one with my mate called NFG. we were quite the team. Plus with the added novelty of mocking the foreign players!
Not on Dreamcast, they shut down the Dreamcast dedicated servers. But if you upgrade to the latest point release there is like 100 servers, although most are empty.
Man this brings back memories playing it from almost the day it was released until it pretty much went the wayside after the xbox came out. So many great times playing and making a lot of cool interweb friends. Little did I know how baddly I stunk at the game until I got on the PC and downloaded some ZeRo4 demo's. lol
Continued.. Ahh well, fun times. I had a few names over the years:
Jester7*Dfc CoLd{9mm} c0ld*DD,[T-Verta]iH* and L0D|c0ld Still quite a few active ex-dcq3'ers on irc.enterthegame , #l0d is a good place to start.. Peace!
Just like PC. Dreamcast has Mouse and Keyboard support which comes as standard. At the time of play I was using a Microsoft optical mouse via an adaptor. ;-)
q3a for dreamcast is much better tham pc version!!!, do you know where to donwload the music of q3 arena for dreamcast (sorry, idon´t speak english very well)
wow if i had that good quality and played on a Dreamcast i would own lol i can own without good ass Graphics lol but like this lol wow and you should change the /cg_fov 110 so you can see eazier lol
Discription, long time no play. Got by just fine without tampering with the fov, sound is everything on both DC & PC. DC runs a 30fps and the aim is not pixel perfect as it jumps around 3 pixels as you turn. Would take time to get back into it...
First online console play, first broadband support, first M/K support...and, first console to have a combo joystick/trackball built for it...which was a boon to those folks who had serious trouble coordinating the standard M/K setup. Major innovations all around, but it couldn't compete with Sony's market share...*OW!
nopes it was the nes, but the first one properly was the saturn but the world wasn't prepared for worldwide service, dc also brought the damn modem installed and a worlwide service.
Both the Genesis and SNES had a third party device called Xband for online play. The Genesis one was released a little before the SNES one. The Saturn's Netlink was the first online service made by a console manufacturer, the precursor, so to speak, to Seganet and Xbox Live.
man I use to play Q3 at my friends house on his computer and computers cost so much money back then I couldn't afford one but I did buy a Dreamcast and I played q3 online with my Dreamcast and... with the keyboard mouse! Dreamcast was so ahead of its time,, these next gens should be bowing down to sega!
DC emulation isn't great at the moment. Quake 3 on the Dreamcast was awesome. I played it for years when I came out, and then later switch to the PC version. I had so much fun in those days. :)
i am a dedicated quake 3 player at heart on the pc. and have never seen the DC version until now and holy shit it looks good :). is there a way i can emulate the game on the pc?
at least some people remember the good ol DC days, i still say Quake 3 was one of the best PC to console translations. me and my cousins still play Quake on a farly regular basis. ahhh nostalgia
I just connected online in Q3 DC for the first time in years, because I found a free 56k ISP today. Too bad there wasn't a single other human DC player. Just a few dozen empty or bot-filled servers.
Anyways, I am looking for information on the DC version's soundtrack. It's quite different or arranged compared to the PC version, and I was hoping for some track names and info on the credentials behind the music and such. Thanks.
US Ntsc quake 3 arena for dreamcast is still online and it will be forever cause it doesnt support to dreamarena. you dont need to have original copy.
Not sure who your talking too... You can run dedicated Dreamcast servers with the PC version, (v1.6 I think it was) using the DC Map Pack. The servers run on the same servers as PC users. PC users can also join if they have the DC Map Pack. DreamKey 3 kinda patched Quake3 DC so it would look for these servers insted of Dreamarena,(here in the UK that is).
Glad you liked it, just wanted to see some action on YouTube of how cool the DC version really was. Tiz true about the PC version. Its nice the bots on DC are more human like than the PC version because as the video shows you can still have a lot of fun even if the game is never going to talk back to you ever again. :(
I always remembered the master chief looked like phobos and ranger for some odd reason.

On dreamcast we all grew together and respected each other as if the scene was one LaRgE clan in its self. Fucking amazing times that have not been repeated on any system since. The magic comes from everyone playing on the same hardware. When I hit PC everyone was out to win and I never seen so many cheating time nudging 125fps vof twisting mothers in my life.

CONT: Some would even drain the bollox out of a server just to try and be ahead of everyone else. All I saw was many, many poor players who had no idea on how to control a map because they were pathectic 1 life every min spam shooters. Alot of serious players jumped to 3wave and from me PC Q3 was best played via 3wave. Maybe I enetered PC Q3 scene a bit late, but at the time it was Cr@p.

CONT: so having said that, on PC it was each to thier own because there wasnt much friendlyness going on. Even other dreamcast players felt the same having spent a heck of alot of money to jump on PC Q3.
We also started running the DC_mappak for our selfs just to keep the flame alive. Was laughable because on our grounds we owned where the pc boy thought it was just a woopy-do free download. DC Q3 for the win. ;-)

Completely agreed. The community was the perfect size, small enough to always find people you have met before, and large enough over the years to always find a bunch of servers to play with people you haven't. Plus, we pretty much all DM/FPS virgins. It was really interesting to see basic strategies develop and swiftly become adopted across the community. Fact is, this is the first and last FPS game setup so well for 1v1 on any console since then. Being able to spec a match was great.

Also, I would say various PCq3 communities were quite decent because there is no unified "PC q3 community". Many branched off from various mods and laughably different point releases. Some better then others. For example the more hardcore quake3'ers (osp>cpma) still have a rather large yet tight nit community. Many of them are decent, of course some are complete dicks. Though, to hang and have fun there you have to really try to up your game. Not my gig anymore. Can't wait for QuakeLive!

Because the PC players were generally a bunch of nobheads. The PC version may have been the better game, but the players on the DC version were far better to play with.

Yes. You'll need to search online with your pc and find the free servers and then follow the instructions to playing online with your DC still...
Basically people are running free servers, so whenever those servers are up, and they let you in, you can play.

The PS2 version never had a chance. It came out in the days when people found it hard to code for PS2. EA took the game up and yes it sux. :)
Thanks to DC Q3, Team Arena used a couple of the DC exclusive maps. Q3 Threewave was awesome back when I used to play it!

This cost me a fortune playing online. I payed 1p a minute on BT and one quarter it was about £90. I was in a clan called team frag and then started one with my mate called NFG. we were quite the team. Plus with the added novelty of mocking the foreign players!

Not on Dreamcast, they shut down the Dreamcast dedicated servers. But if you upgrade to the latest point release there is like 100 servers, although most are empty.

Man this brings back memories playing it from almost the day it was released until it pretty much went the wayside after the xbox came out. So many great times playing and making a lot of cool interweb friends. Little did I know how baddly I stunk at the game until I got on the PC and downloaded some ZeRo4 demo's. lol

Discription, long time no play. Got by just fine without tampering with the fov, sound is everything on both DC & PC. DC runs a 30fps and the aim is not pixel perfect as it jumps around 3 pixels as you turn. Would take time to get back into it...

First online console play, first broadband support, first M/K support...and, first console to have a combo joystick/trackball built for it...which was a boon to those folks who had serious trouble coordinating the standard M/K setup. Major innovations all around, but it couldn't compete with Sony's market share...*OW!

thehype16 4 years ago
Both the Genesis and SNES had a third party device called Xband for online play. The Genesis one was released a little before the SNES one. The Saturn's Netlink was the first online service made by a console manufacturer, the precursor, so to speak, to Seganet and Xbox Live.

DC emulation isn't great at the moment. Quake 3 on the Dreamcast was awesome. I played it for years when I came out, and then later switch to the PC version. I had so much fun in those days. :)

I just connected online in Q3 DC for the first time in years, because I found a free 56k ISP today. Too bad there wasn't a single other human DC player. Just a few dozen empty or bot-filled servers.
Anyways, I am looking for information on the DC version's soundtrack. It's quite different or arranged compared to the PC version, and I was hoping for some track names and info on the credentials behind the music and such. Thanks.

No it isn't. They shut down the dedicated Dreamcast servers all over the world.
LastHour1 4 years ago
Not sure who your talking too... You can run dedicated Dreamcast servers with the PC version, (v1.6 I think it was) using the DC Map Pack. The servers run on the same servers as PC users. PC users can also join if they have the DC Map Pack. DreamKey 3 kinda patched Quake3 DC so it would look for these servers insted of Dreamarena,(here in the UK that is).

Glad you liked it, just wanted to see some action on YouTube of how cool the DC version really was. Tiz true about the PC version. Its nice the bots on DC are more human like than the PC version because as the video shows you can still have a lot of fun even if the game is never going to talk back to you ever again. :(
