Id Software Founds a New Office In Germany

  • Probably to steal discount techies from dying Crytek.

      Id is shit anyways. No real talent there anymore and the games are recycled shit. The engine business aint doing all that well either since people spending millions for a piece of code expect something in return. You can basically use Unity for all the stuff brogamers ever need. Id has no place in competitive gaming either. They basically fucked everything up and even their success was an accident based on the tech by Carmack.

      Id is toast.

      • They certainly got stuck in a rut with the point, shoot, find keycard, access new area, repeat routine. Valve showed the world what a good single player campaign should look and act like with Half Life, which raised the bar, and id has never really stepped up to it; their games seem to be designed more to showcase Carmack's latest engine than anything else.
        That said, I just played Doom3 and Rage, both on sale at steam, and for the money (I got 'em cheap), they were fairly entertaining. Well, Rage more
        • I loved "Rage". I thought it was one of the best games I have ever played! I never understood why the game wasn't more popular than what it was. The "sniper" part was great...... In the words of who ever it was:...."Roll Em"!!
          • Apparently it had numerous "bugs" when it was originally released, some of which were fixed by driver updates, but yeah, I had a lot of fun with it; the RPG elements added a lot to it, and the weapons and ammo selection were surprisingly diverse for id. Can't beat it for $12.
