Worthplaying
has an interesting Q&A with id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead, covering a
variety of topics including id releasing titles on both PC and Xbox 360, the new
game, game pricing and budgets, online game distribution, E3 plans, etc. Here's
a taster:
WP: Can we assume that all future id titles will be slated for
simultaneous release on both the PC and Xbox 360?
TH: ET:QW is only in development for the PC currently. The next Wolf game
is using the 360 as its primary development platform, but will be released on
the PC as well. We're looking at PS3, 360 and PC for our internal project, but
it's too early to guess on whether we'll have all of those ready to go at the
same time. It would be nice if it works out where the launch is simultaneous,
but I don't know if that's feasible.
WP: In regards to the new intellectual property that you are working on, will
this be your next announced title, or is it still a ways off?
TH: The new IP project is the main focus of the development team at id.
We have the other projects that we're working on, like Wolf, ET:QW, and our
efforts in the mobile phone games, but those are all using other teams as the
primary development resource. I'm not sure when we'll begin discussing details
of the new IP, but it will be the next game developed entirely by id and it WILL
be cool.
