Just to clear things up, id Software engines are OpenGL based. They never did anything DX based, afaik...

I just don't get all of the Rage hate. Once you get past the crappy visuals, disable mouse smoothing, and bump up the fov it really is a good game. I'll go as far as to say that its one of the best single player fps titles that I've played in recent years.
I don't like this also...so what now, new quake arena which will be a clone q3 arena with better textures? mechanica will be this same. We have q4 with mods(better netcode because raven soft fu**ed up) and scene stay with q3...UT3 sells on PC terrible...Q5 arena on console will be harakiri imho...Q3A is still best game of this type (fast shooter) and i think it will never change....

I don't want better textures, they can remove the textures altogether for all I care. Give me new maps and new guns and may you die painfully if you start including achievements a la Call of Duty.

So much fail in this, especially that in bold.
FYI that's the whole point in improving GFX, to get closer to those animated like movies.. I for one can't wait for such games that will look like in today's CGI teasers.
Also I enjoy MP more with all those fancy gfx.. lol if it cripples your ability to play good well what can i say, sucks for you. Yea better stick with those old games then

The only reason for releasing a new Quake arena can be really stupid.It will be only online(arena) and online only games are just as tech shows folr new engines.Even Frostbyte in battlefield 3 had to put a camapign on battlefield 3 to show its tech.that are the times we are living now.
maybemjsut maybe,the good stuff we do ahve in our mind are games for id software made from tthird party companies as return from castle wolfentein(Raven) or really old games...when mister Romero was developinmg levels.
Sorry but for me ID Software is a dinosaur that live because good memories from games really far in time.And if Rage is the best they can do...i hope Armadillo aerospace to be hit if not Carmack has a very dak future in gaming universe.He lived because being a guru in PC graphics.No anymoore since RAGE.The next game has to be a really good one.There can be good vames being console ports as Deus ex:Human revolution.They have to follow that path.Or jusd die as dinosaurs did.
People will complain no matter what they release. They could release Quake 5 and the vary people in this thread asking for it would be the first to complain if they could even pull themselves away for the modern warfare type shooters that they play.
To the people asking for some quake 5, ask yourself why don't you play UT3 or Quake Live? What game are you playing instead? BF3 or something along those lines no doubt?

She was a marketing coordinator there. None of my other friends who are programmers and artist were let go( I have friends that worked on Rage, some currently working on Doom4 and friends that worked/work on Quakelive). However, I do know cuts in those areas were made. I have 10-14 friends and acquittance that work for id software.

Quake 3 remakes? Hasn't id done enough shooters?
For 17 years I have secretly hoped they would release a flight sim next. Or maybe a turn based RPG. It's sad to watch such talent willingly climb in the box and tape it shut from the inside.
Why do you think Zenimax bought id? id is known for making FPS. Why the hell would they start making RPGs when there are other areas within Zenimax that do that?

I just want a proper arena type FPS shooter. I'm more of a UT than Quake fan (mostly cuz of gametypes onslaught/warfare) but I wouldn't say not to a "Quake 5 Arena" title either. ^^ Cuz these are games I get so addicted to that I can play for years and years and don't get bored, I still yet today play a bit of UT3 even if playerbase is very small now. I can barely get into playing other games these days but great arena shooters easily capture my interest cuz those have a learning curve and require skill & practice to get good at unlike 99% of the games today.
An UT4 title would be a dream come true that would go back to the roots, ie. be an plain arena shooter with tournament layout in like UT2k4 (no more silly stories plz).
I just can't stand games like CoD or BF for some reason, scifi fast paced shooters is where it is at for me.

If all people would share opinions in an objective manner, the world would be a friendlier place
It was a good move for Zenimax. They got some strong FPS brands and technical knowledge. But I was talking about id.
What about the previous 18 years of life for id software before they were bought out? Was it all just preparation for that event? Usually if you stick with something it's because you do it really well or are getting better at it. IMO, they peaked a long time ago. Instead of just massaging the brands and fishing for a buyout I would have liked to see them take a bigger creative risk and find out what they could do with a serious non-shooter.
