Goddammit, Carmack.
Just when I think you can't do anything more for me, you show up onstage with Steve Jobs and single-handedly eliminate in-game memory constraints.
I curse you, Carmack. I curse you to the heavens.

technology which id says "practically eliminates the texture memory constraints typically placed on artists and designers and allows for the unique customization of the entire game world at the pixel level"
Hmmm. I'm no programmer, but this sounds like a particularly tasty feature for console developers especially.

I don't know what it is but that just doesn't really look that great to me. Maybe I just need to see it in motion.
@Toolus: Would 5 frames per second do?
A lot of people are overlooking the "engine" part. What can it do besides render graphics? How good are the scripting and physics?
Also, ID never uses their engines effectively. They chose some pretty lame scenery to show off what the rendering looks like. The balloons in shot #2 look pretty impressive, but everything else is inorganic or looks like plastic. Cutting edge engines should aim for more than Thunderdome.
When they make an engine that can reproduce something you would see in animated movies, I'll be impressed. Good graphics is about art, not billions of polygons or clever memory management.

Still looks like Doom3 judging from the screenshots (mainly the guy with the hat since that's the clearest one).
No soft shading? No self shadowing? C'mon iD, you can do waaay better then this.
Not even close to Unreal Engine 3 quality.

Yay! Mindless conjecture about games using a brand new engine!
@mage - you're also a mac hater, neet.
@ Burnt - even when billions of polygons DUE to clever memory management make silky smooth photorealistic (anime-realistic?) graphics possible?
As much as you guys bitch about PS3 haters, you really jumped on the first opportunity to take cuts at Apple.
