Life After Doom

Posted by michael on from the postapocalyptic dept.

An anonymous reader writes "What's next for the maker of Doom, Quake and Wolfenstein? Chris Morris of CNN Money talks to id's CEO, who tells us the next id game won't be anything like the others. Rather than a re-hash of its sci-fi or WWII themes, CEO Todd Hollenshead says, 'I'd like to try something new.' [Hollenshead also notes that an as yet unidentified developer with 'a name that people recognize' has licensed the Doom 3 engine.]"

  1. 3D Realms? by NotAnotherReboot · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Who wants to bet that it is 3D Realms that is the unnamed licencesee? DNF has been in development for so long that I'm sure the engine has been scrapped multiple times. The Doom 3 engine should provide plenty of headroom, and I'm assuming that all of their content has been being made at high resolution anyways.

    Makse sense to me...

    Why is this a troll? I could see MS licensing the Doom 3 engine. We really haven't seen any progress on Perfect Dark Zero. The Doom 3 engine is the best you'll get on the Xbox; why not use it for PDZ?
