I have no idea why this was even posted on digg in the first place but here’s some information for the people with absolutely no concept of reality. This Quake family tree was fine and dandy until I started to look over to the right and see Doom 3 and Quake 4 branched off of Quake. Then I look above that and see HALF LIFE (wtf) in the tree as well. This is a completely flawed design; if you’re going to include Half life and Doom 3 AND Quake 4, you may as well go ahead and include ALL the previous fps’s id Software has worked on BEFORE Quake. Quake didn’t start Doom 3 (Doom Did), Half life might have originally started as a Quake mod, but the Source engine most definitely is not a derivative of Quake, it was built from the ground up by Valve.
