id Software developing new creative property

by Ross Miller on Jan 4th 2006 6:00PM

Kikizo Games's recent interview with John Carmack is full of interesting tidbits: his inspiration for the Doom RPG, his off-hand philosophy for spin-off projects such as the Doom board game and movie ("a solid action movie with lots of fun nods to the gaming community," according to him). He even pledges support for all consoles not named Nintendo, as the developers "haven't really looked at the Revolution."

The line that caught us by surprise, however, occurred at the very end of the interview: "we are working internally on a completely new project, but we haven't made any firm plans yet for the future of the Wolf, Doom and Quake franchises." So id Software is working on a new project - what are the chances it'll be a first-person shooter with out-of-this-world bad guys?

That guy is ugly...

Return to Castle wolfenstein was an excellent game and a huge step forward .I can't say i enjoyed quake 4 or Doom 3 though,Just more of the same and not as good as the originals.The last quake i really enjoyed was QuakeII and that was a long time ago.What happened to the Hexen and Heretic franchises ?.

He's not a model, he's just about the best coder ever.

He was the first to make games that had better code than the demo scene.

Respect JC, he's got skills.
