Key point. As someone else already brought up, Terminator Rampage was
pretty much a flop but I "heard" it was pretty cool. Then I played it.

I really hate being negative, but what the heck....There's a newsgroup
called alt.sex.beastiality.barny or something. What does that say about
basing the importance of a topic on the existence of a newsgroup for that
topic? I mean, if sex with a fictitious purple dinosaur can spark interest
then that says it all.

I'm not saying that Apogee isn't capable of making good 3D games but
seeing is believing and from what I've seen in the past, I don't believe.
iD's games improved, although there weren't many, but Apogee's flatlined.
It was admirable of Chris (not acting as an Apogee rep) to jump in and
defend Apogee's position in all this, but until the vaporware becomes
software it's pointless to discuss what might be.
