Topic: Carmack Loves the iPhone

Famed id Software programmer and mad rocket-scientist John Carmack recently spoke to MTV's Multiplayer about the iPhone projects they have in the works. There's two separate articles, the first confirming that Quake, Quake 2 and Rage are going to be coming to the iPhone, and that Quake 3 might also make it (especially with the 3G S in the picture, which offers increased processing power). Wolfenstein RPG and Doom 2 RPG are also in the works already, and Doom Classic is apparently only a couple of weeks away.

The second discusses Doom Resurrection, a lightgun-on-rails shooter in the Doom universe. Definitely will be interesting to see how much id can push the hardware of the platform!

Why would you want to play those games on a telephone?

Or is just the wank factor that 'I can play Doom on my phone!'?

It's a kick arse game, no doubt.

But playing it on an iPhone would have to be balls.

I think it would have a very short lived novelty factor.

You obviously haven't tried Wolf3D on iPhone - handles beautifully.

Jesus Christ doesn't drive a Ferrari. It is written.
