Es gibt neues für Macianer und Linux Heads die sehnsüchtig auf Doom 3 für richtige Betriebssysteme warten.

Timothee Besset plaudert in einem Interview mit linuxgames.com aus dem Nähkästchen und erzählt über die Linux- und Mac-Version sowie den kommenden Dedicated Server.

What’s the status of the DOOM 3 dedicated server and the client?

I think there’s a very good chance we can get the dedicated server out with the next patch, because it’s been running very smoothly in the DOOM 3 tournaments. We still need to polish it a bit, but it will get released pretty soon. I know that the server admins are waiting, and Linux gamers don’t really care about it, but we have to follow our priorities. Since gold, the Mac port was definitely the big thing; it benefits both the Linux and the Mac version, but Mac had to come first. The Linux client is running pretty good, I’m getting surprisingly good performance compared to the Windows version, but I absolutely don’t want to release something that’s half-done or half-finished. I want to polish it; it should come together within a few weeks.

Within a few weeks. Das passt bestimmt gut mit einer iMac Lieferung zusammen. Sind ja nur noch 7 Tage und 21 Stunden bis zur Keynote…
