Carmack: New IP from id Software is unlikely "in the next decade"
Posted: 12.08.2010 13:30 by Simon Priest Comments: 7
Studio id Software will be supporting the current stable of franchises for the foreseeable future, which is already more "than we can exploit."

John Carmack doesn't want 5 teams at id as 3 "is scary enough." They've got Quake, Doom, Wolfenstein and "hopefully we can add Rage onto that".

"We do already have more IPs than we can exploit," he told OPM UK.

"I doubt we're going to do another IP. It's scary to say it, but maybe not in the next decade even, because we want to support Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake - and hopefully we can add Rage onto that - and I don't want five teams here. Three is scary enough."

"Obviously if Rage is a success then we'll want to do a Rage 2," he added. "If people love it, you want to give them more of it." Well that rules out Carmack's something "neat and unannounced" for his keynote tonight at Quakecon being a whole new franchise.

I like Rage, and I can't wait for that game to come out. Sort of a Fallout - Borderlands mixture with awesome graphics. They will make a sequel for sure.

This is the first time I hear something about Doom 4. Was I living in a cage or what?
Quake wars is a nice game, I liked it when it got released. Rage's gonna be something big!

I will pick up all of them as soon as they get out. Rage was announced for the iPhone 4 - with textures of great resolution (960x640) so that is amazing. It might even be a full game. :)
