New Wolfenstein game will be rather different from past Wolfenstein games, said Carmack.
- Return to Castle Wolfenstein feature film in development.
:: Quake 3 ::
- Carmack wants to do a Quake Arena Nintendo DS game.
- Quake Arena Arcade announced, developed by Pi Studios and id for Xbox 360.
- Quake3 for free.
Creating an new dev team to do Quake 3 Arena game called "Quake Zero" powered by id Tech 5.
John Carmack: "Quake Arena was always my favorite game, my favorite id game." Not the company's biggest blockbuster, but "I have always liked the simple, straightforward and elegant game."
(its a little bit confusing to read about the Quake3 project at this time)
:: Steam & Orcs&Elves 2 ::
- Every single id game on Steam.
- Orcs & Elves 2 for mobile, coming by end of year. Orcs & ELves for Nintendo DS this year.
:: RAGE - the new game titel ::
- id Tech 5 Engine, game titel of the new game is RAGE. Rage is apparently massive, will ship on 2 DVDs or one Blu-ray.
Hollenshead: id Tech 5 will run equally well on any platform, not in any company's pocket, "and for you press, you can print that."
Thanks nellie for posting this link in #esreality
