See QuakeCon video of Wolfenstein RPG

We haven't played Doom RPG, so we're not exactly sure how meshing an id FPS with a role-playing game model will work. But we have to say that after watching the above QuakeCon footage of Wolfenstein RPG, we're at the very least intrigued.

If we have one regret, it's that the game is coming to cell phones instead of Apple's sexy new behemoth. Sadly it seems like we'll have to wait for Carmack's "graphical tour de force" for a portable id game that doesn't look like straight yuck.

As long as it does not have an overly-androgynous male as the lead role, I'm in.

a cell phone game? Really?

Doom RPG is actually pretty fun. Don't knock it till you try it. Much better than 95% of the crap they put on phones today.

The other game they developed Orc's & Elves is equally fun. Similar to Doom RPG but with a fantasy twist. It came after and expanded quite a bit on the style of the game. I tried both and worth the money IMO.

Doom RPG (for cell phones) was surprisingly addictive, and had pretty funny writing as well. I recall one annoying design glitch where I inadvertently went through the door back to the level hub and the game reset all of my progress for the level I'd been playing. Other than that, it was worth having on the phone for when I'd forgot my DS or book during morning bus rides.

It always does that, not a glitch.

Is this shit for real?

I lolled when the phone zoomed out.

You don't know how a FPS and RPG would work together? Really? You might want to read up on a genre called Action RPG. I'm pretty sure there's at least 1 or 2 first-person view games out for the genre since its inception around 1992.

For real?

After buying Orcs & Elves I think I'll pass

For $3.99 for a months subscription, yall should really do your homework for an article like this, instead of sounding like dipshits.

IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED DOOM RPG:

download it. Only get a month, it won't take you that long to complete and it is greatly addicting. Its even pretty funny. I definitely recall giggling to myself in the bathroom stall at work. For a cell game, its easily one of the best.

WOLF RPG will be a day 1 download for me.
