#2@ID_AA_Carmack: I’m going to regret having “ios” in all my type names when I port Rage Mobile to Android.

#3This is where Carmack excels, give him a constrained canvas and he blows the technology away. Heres hoping they've sorted out some game design this time around (or they licence the tech to others).

#4carmack had always been a childhood hero of mine, having seen wolfenstein 3d as a kid showcased in the computer section of sears (yes sears). Carmack just entered steve jobs territory for me. This is going to change everything.

Notable titbits for me:
- Using fixed function (OpenGLES 1.1) rather than shaders (ES2).
- Aiming for 700M size on iphone, 1.4G on ipad/iphone4. (Based on success of Myst at similar size)

id's game design is generally good; they know how to really nail gameplay. The problems in id games come from the generic cliché stories and settings. Rage looks like yet another predominantly brown post-apocalyptic lone-silent-protagonist-versus-hideously-ugly-screaming-mutant-monsters game.
What licensees can bring to id's engine are interesting stories in novel settings. For example, I'm hoping someone at Activision realizes that this open-world car-combat + first-person shooter engine is the perfect vehicle for a reboot of the Interstate '76 franchise.

They have stated that they wont licence out this engine. Since they got acquired, it'll only be used for Zenimax games.

Yep, somebody posted it (albeit the Gizmodo version) to HN at that time, which saw quite a lively discussion as well: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1599440

Dang, hadn't heard that. Well, at least the next Bethesda RPG will have a decent engine to build on...
