GS: Will there eventually be a way for more than just four players to engage in a Doom 3 multiplayer game?

TH: That's just an artificial limit that we set. You are going to have to have a powerful server to have more than just four people playing on it. People's network connections are going to matter. Doom 3 is basically a broadband-only game. When you start adding clients, you're going to start adding traffic, and you're going to add latency and performance hits on the server. I have no doubt that one of the first mods for Doom 3 to come out will be eight-player Doom 3. But it's my guess that eight-player Doom 3 will be most effectively played on LAN servers.

GS: What is the status of Quake IV right now?

TW: Raven is very, very busy working on Quake IV. They've done some amazing things with the technology and the gameplay. It is different enough from Doom 3 that people will be really excited about it. Id's very happy with it. As soon as we have more information to share with everybody, we will.
