Not too long ago, id CEO Todd Hollensheadspoke with GameSpotabout a slew of interesting topics, including the company’s shift towards multiplatform development withRage, why the Wii isn’t worth investing copious amounts of time and money in, and what’s going on with the nextDoom.
AlthoughDoom 4is stillveryearly in development, Hollenshead dropped a few hints. “It’s not a sequel toDoom 3, but it’s not a reboot either.Doom 3was sort of a reboot. It’s a little bit different than those, and if I told you why, I would get my ass kicked when I got back,” he says.
We’re also told that there’s been a “fundamental, sort of philosophical shift” inside of id from being a PC developer to a multiplatform developer. Hollenshead says that as an independent developer, you have to be on “all the relevant platforms” to be successful.
“So we don’t really view ourselves as PC first,” he adds. “I think I would say that John says that probably the primary development platform forRageis actually the 360.”
Something to think about on this glorious April day, I’d say. ensure you glance over thefull interview, as it’s lengthy and full of some pretty good tidbits.
