Raven’s catalogue is filled with such great games that people often forget that they also made a reboot of id’s seminal title Wolfenstein and the 4th entry in id’s revolutionary Quake series. Raven worked wonders with the sentient being John Carmack’s pathbreaking game engines and they even had John ‘I should be in a shampoo commercial’ Romero come over and help them out with Heretic. Since both studios were located on the same street, you’d often see them collaborate on various games and gamey…stuff. Raven has a long & friendly history with id Software. It’s a shame that the studio known for creating classics such as Heretic, Hexen, Soldier of Fortune, Jedi Outcast, Jedi Academy and a lot more is reduced to a mere assisting role in the production of the Call of Duty games (Gee, thanks Activision, you no-good money kissers). To say that they made some pretty damn fine games is an understatement. Raven software was the ‘mini id’ of first-person shooters in the early 90s the to mid 2000s.
