Life After Doom

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.]"

Trinity?

[mfh]

JC hinted that this was the case in one of his recent comments on /. [slashdot.org] and I think that we may see the Trinity game they were looking at doing after Quake 2. That would totally rock!

Re:Mystery solved?

I think those are two seperate statements... like Raven Software has licensed the software and an as yet unidentified developer.

What's weird is that they've already made the movie and released it...years ago.

It was called "Event Horizon".

I don't know why they didn't use the Doom name. Maybe it would've helped ticket sales.

You're probably right, and all these other sources are just plain wrong.

Re:An id game I'd like to see

[Araxen]

Id Software is in the game engine business. It's actually where they make most of their money, IIRC.

Making the games is just the side effect of it.

Re:Trinity?

[LowellPorter]

Trinity is/was the code name for the Quake 3 graphics engine and not a different game.

Re:3D Realms?

[jabberwocky_rt]

Unlikely...

The developers at 3drealms have more than once said that they wil NOT be using the doom3 engine.

They swear up and down that they're "closer" to finishing the new engine.
