Every id property ever coming to the iPhone photo

Speaking with MTV Multiplayer, id Software’s John Carmack revealed that every property the developer has ever worked on could potentially come to the iPhone.

When we say “every,” we mean it. It seems it’s just getting started with Doom Resurrection -- Carmack mentions RAGE, Wolfenstein RPG, and Doom 2 RPG as projects that are headed to Apple’s platform. On the subject of Quake, expect it and its sequel on the “conventional iPhone platform,” with Quake 3 “not a problem at all” for the recently introduced, and more powerful, 3GS.

Like we said -- everything. Ever. Saying that Carmack and the id Software team “like” the iPhone might be an understatement.

“I expect we’ll have an iPhone project every two to three months over the next year,” he says.

New games are always good news... but not only are they only for iPhone owners, they are only for iPhone 3Gs users =( Which sucks!

Quake 1 and 2 will definitely make it to iPhone 2G/3G, the article just said that Quake3 would probably be for 3GS. Fortunately I have a 3GS. :)

*sigh* I love this announcement in theory but I don't like the iPhone as a gaming device. Due to the frequent hardware changes it's not stable as a platform - unlike a handheld or a home console it's not a good long term investment.

So then, either their first person shooter, their first person shooter, their first person shooter, or their first person shooter? Or, perhaps, ALL of their first person shooters? Hey id! Learn something new!

Remember the ipod touch is faster than the older iphone, I applaud this and at the same time sigh with disappointment of the prospect of a fps with a non tactile control system.

I took quake3 off my jailbroken 3g as was never playing it - nice tech demo though - the 3gs version however should look astonishing.

Every current iPhone app works on all models of iPhone unless it uses GPS. Besides, pc hardware changes every time you turn around, too.
