Though you might have had some fun imagining what an id-made cart racer would be like when you saw the dune buggies and zeppelins of their WWDC demo of id Tech 5, the company is trying to pull fans back to earth a bit in a new interview with Shacknews. "We're always looking to broaden the gameplay, but people aren't going to be shocked. You shouldn't expect an RTS or a fighting game or something, [laughs]" said id director of business development Steve Nix. "People are going to like what they see, but it's not going to be shocking."
God, and we were so close to pre-ordering Flaming Disembodied Head Hero. Well, at least QuakeCon starts this week. Hopefully we'll have some answers soon. (Psst -- We'd put our money on first person shooter. Don't tell anyone.)
WTF kind of games genres are that? Man you have such limited scope Jack. And for fucks sakes what is "Adventure"? Unless you mean the old Lucas Art ones, those died off a long time ago.
Yeah, yeah, another ID Software 2D platformer, probably the sequel to Commander Keen. C'mon ID, make something new, like a first-person shooter or something!
It's not going to be shockingly awesome looking either. Still not all that impressed with the tech5 stuff from their presentation, and I can't say that a lot of developers are going to license it over UE3. Then again im not a developer so for all I know tech5 kits come with bottles of boose and UE3 just comes with tootsie rolls(read: poop).
