Carmack reveals the future!

by TosspoT • 4 Aug 2007, 02:09 • News

John Carmack's keynote speech has never been quite so eventful. ID Software will be very busy in the coming years and won't be leaving the headlines any time soon! Carmack had these important announcements to say, you will be able to watch the whole speech courtesy of GGL shortly.

- ID Software's next game will be named "Rage". It will be both an FPS and Racing game. You can see the tech demo on Quakeunity

- QuakeCon 2008 is confirmed, but for a week earlier this time. It will start July 31st ending August 3rd.

- ID are currently working on Quake0, a free web version of Quake3 which is in development. The game will be supported by advertising.

- There will be a Quake 5 for the new id tech 5 engine, but there is no ETA on the project.

- ID Software will be putting ALL their titles on Steam from right NOW. Including Doom & Quake, but will not include ET nor Quakewars

- European Quakewars release date will be the 28th of September and the US release date will be the 2nd of October.

Oh fuck please no, not fucking steam.

Oh my dear... Steam? :(

Well, at least the rest of the news is decent.

this is a sign from God

the end is near

time to stop gaming!

Parent

FPS and Racing game

lol

How can you have a racing FPS? :s

Just have huge maps with vehicles, sort of like Quake Wars, just without any hint of Enemy Territory. :)

Parent

pfpfpfppfpfp

Parent

i suppose it will be a bit like Twisted Metal (google if you dont know)

Parent

omg steam :||\\

Steam is actually a pretty nice program >:(

agree

Parent

agree

Parent

Disagree like hell. All I want is D:\Folder\Game.exe

Launchers suck, shouldn't be tied into that shit.

Parent

Agree, and ffs I hate the ET:QW system to save all the files to somewhere in windows' folder jungle and not into the ET:QW folder.

Parent

Well in linux this behavior is normal, because you would need root access to play games if you intended to save files in the folder, therefore they are automatically saved to ~/.q3a ~/.etwolf etc.

In linux however it actually works well, in the luh-suh, shee-niou "My Documents" system it just makes it a pain and is unnecessary.

Parent

yea but linux != windows so don't compare the working community work and necessary bad to each other.

Parent

agree, I like it :) has gotten lots of better the last 1-2 years

Parent

Its not really a program, its a platform

Parent

Parent

xDD

playing quake in browser = 30fps?

games in steam is great though

rip Marcus 'Rage' Welfare ! let the name be in rest!

he was a great rtcw player

Parent

steam is quite good tbh u can get games @ low price

vac+pb ?

Wolfenstein plz

steam is very naiz...if you cheat and you will get caught you have to buy a NEW game with a NEW serial for a NEW account...but thats only one point which is actually good...to the rest of steam and the other statements - i only can say: wtf..omg xD

except for the date of quakecon....dont will go there:i dont care :D

sry for my bad english skillz :>

You realize this is how pretty much all games work except for ET, regardless of whether they use Steam.

Parent

Thats the same with every game except free games.

Parent

yes, but then the other games will be also baned if there will be vac..its the same with pb, but its easy to get new guids or spoofs, isnt it?

Parent

Nah... if you get caught on VAC then only the game/engine you get caught in gets banned. Like if you have CS:S and CS1.6 and you get banned in 1.6, you can still play CS:S fine.

Parent

cant agree....

Parent

Umm... ok. Do you want a screenshot of my Steam account that says: "Banned in the following games: CS 1.6, Halflife" but allows me to play CS:Source?

Parent

no thanks,my friend was also banned at 1.6 and got banned at css because of 1.6 ban...

Parent

That doesn't happen :o). He hacked in both engines.

Parent

never asked^^ :D he only said in cs 1.6..will ask him tomorrow xD

Parent

true

Parent

- ID Software's next game will be named "Rage". It will be both an FPS and Racing game.

= cpma

finaly they understand

I forgot about all those ferraris I drove around cpm3a.

Parent

Hope you were sarcastic, right?

Parent

No if you load dm6 you can find a ferrari parked under the yellow armor towers

Parent

That would be pro-q3dm6 and that would be RA towers :<. You confused me then.

Parent

on pro the red is not by the towers

Parent

Well that was actually one of the dumbest things I've said.

I blame nellie and the other guys who were in the last 2v2 I played :\.

Parent

lots of things are nellies fault!

Parent

in tdm it is.

Parent

on pro-q3dm6 the YA is near the pillars. on original q3dm6 the pillar armor is RA.

Parent

pdm6:
- duel: ya is at pillars
- tdm: ra is at pillars

Parent

You can buy RTCW

bed. cu

bibuy wolfenstein

what about the RTCW2 announcement?

ID weren't makin rtcw2, nerve were http://www.xfire.be/?x=news&mode=item&id=1772

Parent

Raven is actually, Nerve was doing the multiplayer

Parent

Why doesnt this "news" have the annoucement of Quake Arena for Nintendo DS?

Outdoor Doom 3 with cars... just what we've waited for...

Euh wasnt there supposed to be an announcement one the Wolfenstein series as well ?

WE WANT RTCW2!

"New Wolfenstein game will be rather different from past Wolfenstein games. However he still loves simple games, like Quake Zero and planned Quake Arena DS game. "Honestly, I sit down and look at Enemy Territory, and I'm a little overwhelmed."

Oh dear.

I'm not so sure thats a bad thing

Parent

Have we to wait something about RtCW² ?
I mean will it be like oldschoolers likes (nervous team(infantry) based game) ?

To me, I will just give a try in ET-QW without expecting anything. :(

Parent

Im not sure, nothing more was revealed

Parent

RtCW2 will be a ww2 flight simulator developed closely with the creators of Ace Combat.

Parent

cu@ut

couldn't agree more

Parent

rtcw $18 on steam

i dont mind steam, but it takes so much time till its loaded

Might breathe some new life into RTCW !

Steam = instant playerbase = new life for quake (maybe)

Thanks for deleting my news article.

w00t!

Playing the original Wolfenstein 3D now, what memories!

Nice, im thinking of buying the pack aswell.

Parent

Commander Keen \o/

Parent

commander keen!

Parent

i dont know why you are whining about steam

if you dont want steam download it yourself

it just brings more players into the game and thats not a bad thing

Correct. I think they should even add W:ET to Steam (with the latest 2.60b exes).

Parent

fu quakecon

steam is good. works really nice for me..
maybe easyer to deal with cheaters aswell, who knows..

Did I read it right that we actually get a game in Europe before America?

Thats what you get when it's not Sony, Nintendo, Sega or Microsoft behind it!

Parent
