raven was aquired by activision
so whatever deal wil be brokered has to go through activision

since 2010 raven software has been turned in to call of duty code monkies

Shadowcaster was my favourite Raven game :) We need that. I expect EA to hold the rights to that one.

Quake 4 was another of Raven's. I haven't played it personally, so I can't say how good it is, but it should be worth having here. Probably owned by Bethesda now.

Silence the discord! lol

It's good, but far from their best game.

Hell, I played Quake 2 and followed with Quake 4 some time ago (a year, maybe?) and it's way behind it in fun factor.

In many ways it's Doom 3 with a greater focus on combat.

i hate that game, I stopped playing it in disgust when trying to fight the first boss. Stupid stupid stupid game.

Oh and by the way. I think somebody somewhere mentioned that it is on Steam, and it has not DRM in there so put down the pride and buy it. Well maybe I am wrong but as far as I know the Hexen II Steam is broken like most of older FPS in there (Dark Forces 2, Quake and others). It even goes with Valve's own Half Life. What I mean is music. There is no fucking music. At least CD version. Also as of Hexen II there is no expansion in there.

hm appareantly it is not available on steam.
buuh, I wanna play hexen 2 again!

It's blocked for German IPs. Maybe for certain other countries as well.

That's why I'm showing him this page; to eliminate any possibility of him failing to notice it or Steam search failing to produce results (has happened more than once).

Heretic and the Hexens seem like a no-brainer, and we might see them yet, but they've been available elsewhere for a long time, perhaps it's a exclusivity thing.

No one will get SoF because of magazine licensing issues. Elite Force is a similar case, though I'd think it slightly more likely.

Bethesda owns Quake IV (and it's on Steam), so that's quite possible. For a modest $5 increase in price, I'm sure.

Dunno about Wolfenstein 2009, it looks like Activision, and they're weird about releasing their backlog here.

The Jedi games and Singularity (the last game Raven made before being gutted and turned into a Call of Duty DLC shop) are thankfully already here.

1. Heretic II and Hexen II's Add on remain property of Activision. If Id software retained the rights to Heretic and Hexen they MIGHT be with Bethesda now.

2. SoF Unknown I dont have enough information on that, the game rights MIGHT be still in Activision's hands and the last game to be released under SOF name "Payback" was still published by Activison in 2007.

3. EF I and II are part of the Star Trek license so whoever have the gaming rights to star trek that would be their call.

4.Bethseda owns all of id's properties now, so Quake IV will probably be released here by them at some point.

5. Wolfenstein 2009 is probably also now in the hands of Bethesda (as its a wolfenstein game), but I cant find any information about that and some of what I found is really all over the place.

6. Ravens Jedi Knight games fall under Star Wars and thus Disney. Singularity is still owned by Activison from all that I can track down.

oh wow, thanks man! I got a german account but i log in from indonesia, it's weird.

Heretic II was one of the first demos I've played on a PC. It was jaw dropping at the time.

Sometimes I almost wish World War II would have never happened, if it is really the reason why e.g. Germany has good games banned (or "indexed" as they like to call them).
