id Software Demos Rage On iPhone, Releases Source Code For Two Games 266
glenkim writes "Kotaku has posted their liveblog of the QuakeCon 2010 keynote, with some big announcements by game developer and Slashdot regular John Carmack. Highlights include a video of the id Tech 5 engine (aka Rage) running on the iPhone 4G at 60fps, with claims that it also runs on the iPhone 3GS. Carmack noted that performance on the iPhone was able to 'kill anything done on the Xbox or PlayStation 2.' He also announced the source code release of two games, Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory. Also, Carmack finally admitted that Doom 3 was too dark!"

No way, man. I was scared out of my pants playing it under full lighting at noon. Of course, I also refuse to play Resident Evil 4 past sundown, and I even turn up the lights for the Ravenholm chapter of HL2.
I guess I'm just not a horror guy.

Go in a dark room, aim a bright flashlight at a ceiling, and see what happens.
Thanks a lot you insensitive clod - I did that and the bat living up there came down and bit me.

On the note of Doom 1 and Doom 2:
Does anyone have a recommendation for a modern FPS that captures the speed, fun, and simplicity of Doom 1 and 2? I enjoy games like Team Fortress 2 and Battlefield, but sometimes I'd like something fast, fun and disposable... the Mario Kart of shooting people, if you will.

Uh, without traveling back in time to the 90's PC game market?

You're holding it the wrong way. Place the phone on the top of a desk and voila, it's now a desktop class app.
