Next Generation interviews Hollenshead

Hopefully for id's next-next game, Carmack figures out a way for the game designers to go absolutely nuts.</troll>

I predict id's next game will be..

a racing game.

ya.

He's managed it twice so far.

hmmmm, wonder what that would be. I hope it is a FPS!

I'm hoping for another Keen. Hurray nostalgia!

Rather than a new concept I'd prefer id to design a game for the Heretic Hexen series, yet I know that will never happen.

A complete new concept should have to be very special to get my attention, otherwise there are many gaming companies that produce nice visuals and diferent styles of games.
Of course the game will require a Gagillion Ultra-P2000 to run at a decent frame rate (yeah hardware lovers use to hate that kind of phrases, I know).

Uhm, That'd be Hecatomb, and more likely a job for Romero/Raven, since id as we know it today have nothing to do with that franchise.

But I must say that it'd be very nice to see the true ending of that series being made.

A few months ago it was suggested that their new franchise might be unveiled at this year's QuakeCon.

I am against any usage of the Keen franchise that does not include Tom Hall in some creative capacity.

Of course the game will require an arbitrarily powerful computer to run at a decent frame rate

Rumor has it that their next next big thing will be a roguelike.

Whatever it will be, it's probably going to make use of some new hardcore engine that won't run on most people's computer at a decent framerate. Why can't game developers put more effort in making what we already have more efficient?

Make a game that looks like Doom 3 and runs like Doom, then I'll be impressed.

Hell yeah. I'd be stoked for this.

This would be really great too. Either one would be joy.
