Generation has posted a new interview with id Software's Todd Hollenshead as
he talks about the new IP that the company is working on, his reaction to E3
being cancelled, DOOM 3 and Quake 4 sales, and the licensing appeal of id
Software's next engine. Here's an excerpt:
Next Gen: Tell us about the new IP.
Todd Hollenshead: [Laughs] It's new, it's not Doom, Wolfenstein, or
Quake. We're working on it now. Apart from it's going to going to be on a new
John Carmack engine, from what I've seen internally, I think it's going to be
met with a great deal of anticipation.
Next Gen: Why the secrecy? Previously, id's been extremely open with what
they're doing.
Todd Hollenshead: There's not really any secrecy about it, it's just that
we don't want to go out and say things that end up not being accurate later. And
right now, the technology is in the R&D phase, so we don't want to go out and
say things that will later to not be accurate, and have people say, 'well I
thought you said this,' and 'why didn't that happen-'
