Yay this video is webm too!

Why should this be impressive, it's a 15 year old game but HTML and the rest are just crap basically, it's only impressive because it's so hard to do.

[Gnatzl]

I highly doubt that. Even with all the improvements, it's still ECMAscript with all its limitations, some of which can hardly be overcome after it exists in its current form without breaking existing code. Try pageswapping with concurrent threads linked to the LOD texture prediction for starters...

And you must be a pro dev.. The HTML5 is getting better and better. In few years all/most games will be browser based.

Quake Live requires external plugin, while this one runs directly without the need to install anything ;)

Didnt Quake Live do this years ago?

[VEGETADTX]

WOW, you clearly know nothing about HTML5, like the fact it requires no adaption or conversion to work perfectly across multiple platforms, which no other language can do, and you need no third party when deploying a game, or large company to back you in anyway, you just host and go, first quake, soon cod, i have used flash for years i just switched to HMTL5 and Js for game dev because of all the advantages. Dumbass.

Says the kid who likely hasn't ever touched a programming language and is just shooting his own pudmuddled projections with 0 knowledge on the area... aren't worth my time
