While I'm excited about another classic port on the iPhone, the controls seem overly wonky to me -- this game is really better with a keyboard/mouse or dual analog sticks and triggers. Just watching the person controlling the demo is annoying to me, so I imagine playing would be even more frustrating. I'd probably still buy it because it looks very cool.

Half-Life was also based on this engine.

Carmack is said to be working on iPhone ports of all Quake engines. Some Quake 3-derived games that followed included Call of Duty, the Star Wars games Jedi Outcast and Jedi Academy, American McGee's Alice, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

Very cool. I'll take any port of Hexen for the Iphone/Itouch.

Still, I would like Heretic though. Heck even Heretic II would even be a bonus, but good luck with that one though.....

Good luck with dealing with Activision. Activision of "yester year" would have probably agreed to this. However, Greedy Activision of "Now" probably wouldn't allow it.

Best of luck to you.

Cool, looking forward to this. I sure hope they will make Heretic for the Iphone too.

I don't think it's impossible for Activision to grant affordable licencing on an old IP; it would revive interest in the product, and if popular, might be a good way to renew interest for an updated sequel.

I agree that it's unlikely, though....

There are several better options for that already.

I worked on the open source (and by extension the commercial) version of Hexen II for Mac OS X. I'd love to see it on the iPhone, but only if the controls are done right, and with Raven's/Activision's blessing of course.
