Next-Gen has some news from QuakeCon that is equal parts awesome, confusing and quite possibly the greatest idea id has ever had. To quote N-G: id said at Friday’s Quakecon in Dallas that producer Marty Stratton will be leading the new development team on development of the new title.
Quake Zero will be a zero-cost version Quake III Arena that’s fully playable through your web browser and supported only by ad dollars.
Radical idea, right?

Let my proclamation go out across the land -- RAGE looks utterly, utterly, utterly, utterly, bloody, utterly, fantastic. I do not say that lightly, good friends!

Instead of opting for standard deathwatch modes, previously id's bread and butter, it's focusing on vehicle combat and two player cooperative play for Rage.
