Doom 3 In Wired

[mewse]

The latest issue of Wired magazine has an article covering Doom 3, and a website named Ownt has taken it upon themselves to provide a summary of the article's key points. This makes for interesting reading, but what I'm most interested in are the new rumours about a multiplayer add-on coming out post release. When HomeLanFed posted an item on this Wired article, they mentioned an "already announced multiplayer add-on", which I haven't seen announced at all.

Hmm, very interesting. Hope we can all see that new Quakecon video.

Wired makes note of the rumors floating that Doom 3 could be Carmacks last "major" work.

Sounds like BS to me.

Doom 3 will spawn spin-offs: a mission pack with more single player features, a
multiplayer expansion, add-on, possibly a program to dynamically render unique new
levels on the fly

Maybe this why we haven't seen any new Slige releases for a while...

Too bad this also means Doom III won't make an appearance before QuakeCon, which is in August. Ahrg.... all this waiting.... :(

I read some interview with Carmack a while back that he was wanting to take a bit more of a back seat in future titles.
I guess what that means is he'll hand over the 'lead' stuff to someone else whilst he goes flying rockets or something :)
