60 frames-per-second and able to "kill anything done on the Xbox or PlayStation 2."

That'll look crazy good on a tiny iPhone screen

Is that it?

My thoughts aswell.

Well his original tweet was.
"I'm showing something neat and unannounced at quakecon tomorrow. Deciding if I should leave it be or sneak a little more code in..."

Iphone RAGE was neat and unannounced, from that tweet he didn't promise a BIG REVEAL.

Does anyone really care about Rage? its just another wasteland game, by the time it comes out it'll be out of date.

[EvilBoris]

The rage game does look rather generic, but I suppose it's just a vehicle for the engine really

[kernow]

I think Carmack admitted himself they're out of the engine leasing days, everyone goes for UE3 or whatever. I remember them saying they were going back to just making games and not tech demos for their engines.

I wish they'd do something as cool as quake 3 again. sigh

[EvilBoris]

But the Rage game looks so boring. Yawn across the tundra

[kernow]

Yeah it does.

[abigsmurf]

Well that was dissapointing, was literally waiting a year for a promised Doom 4 unveiling and they give a (admitedly impressive) tech demo of a game that hasn't really looked all that interesting on a platform where you'll be fighting with the controls the whole time.

If they couldn't get doom and Wolfenstein to control comfortably, I don't think they're going to get somthing more complex working well.

id Tech was heavily licensed amongst third parties, used in a wide variety of console and PC games; however, it seems that id (and new parent company Bethesda) is no longer interested in pursuing the middleware market.

Blimey. I wonder if he could get it running on the 3DS.

[kernow]

Of course, the 3DS is infinitely powerful and renders polygons with a special GPU comprised of childrens smiles.

[Tig]

whoops, didn't see you there kernow

Fallout 3 was out of date at the time it came out and it didn't hurt it.
