I think this is great actually....
I always imagine older game like DF1 and Duke Nukem, blood, ect being played in a game engine like Q3's... I always hated those games because of sprites instead of models....
I have been waiting for something like this for almost a whole year. I still have to wait another year though! Oh well. I actually found this site from the Star Wars forums when asking if someone could remake some DF levels for me. I am really glad I found this place!
