On Linux Games a reader asking id´s John Carmack about the future Linux game support. Because Quake Live versions for Linux & Mac is in development.
John Carmack:
“Wolfenstein is pretty unlikely, since it was developed at Raven, and published by Activision. There are no firm plans for linux ports of the idTech 5 titles, but it certainly isn’t off the table. I don’t think it will be very difficult to get them running on the binary nvidia drivers, but bringing them up to functionality and acceptable performance on other OpenGL drivers would probably be a more significant undertaking than we could afford.”
id tech 5, id Software´s next game engine, will used for Rage and the next Doom title.
id has promised exclusive looks at Wolfenstein and Rage during QuakeCon, which runs August 13-16.
id hooraay!
