id iPhone game every other month News
iPhone News by Tom Bramwell
John Carmack has told QuakeCon he believes id Software can release a new iPhone game "every other month" and given examples of the three product lines he envisages.
According to Kotaku, id has identified classics (Wolfenstein 3D, Doom 3D) and RPGs (Wolfenstein RPG - to debut at $4.99) as lines it expects to continue pushing.
The classics line will one day receive Quake II, Quake Arena and perhaps even Doom III, the audience at QuakeCon was told, with talk elsewhere of user-created level support for Wolf 3D and local Wi-Fi multiplayer in Doom 3D.
A third line, focusing on new games, may see a Rage-themed racing game appear on the iPhone at some stage.
id has already released Doom Resurrection - derived from Doom III - to middling reviews, but Carmack's technological expertise is certainly on display there. A forthcoming 1.1 update will introduce a new challenge game mode and a new level to go with it.
id also revealed that the shooter would be discounted to £1.79 / $2.99 throughout QuakeCon, which ends on Sunday. Wolfenstein 3D has also been reduced - to £0.59 / $0.99 - for the show's duration.

I saw Wolfenstein RPG when I was browsing the store yesterday. It does look interesting, as does Doom Resurrection (I might take them up on the reduction for that one). I'm quite liking the id stuf so far, they usually treat the format with respect and give us something different, even with old licences.

Wolf RPG out?! Then I would certainly download that one and yes ID does give iPhone respect, what with their engine for Doom Resurrection gives a good indication of what iPhone can do (3gs).

Bought Wolfenstein RPG a couple days ago, I must say it is one of the finest games available on the iPhone right now. Runs smooth as butter, great presentation, nice graphics, quite a bit better than the other mobile versions. Unique gameplay, mixes FPS and turn based dungeon crawlers. Controls are perfect and not at all frustrating.
