Future Wii, DS development unlikely for id Software

Even though Rage on the iPhone was originally born from Wii experimentation and id software has previous experience with the DS, it doesn't sound like the company will be making games for either system in the future.

I wish someone asked him about the 3DS - Would have been interesting to hear his thoughts about that. Right now I'd say it's more likely id Software would consider making a game for that than the Wii.

3DS is afterall the DS successor and we know that DS is King of noob games and shovelware.

Enjoy your nintendogs, cooking mama, brain age, random mario games and more crap.

id software, where have i heard that name before (i am not talking about rage)

Valay5679d ago

Quake? Wolfenstein 3D? ...Doom?!

Eiffel5679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

You seriously forgot? That should be declared illegal, lol.

ElementX5679d ago

Jizzking, that's shameful. If I were you, I'd Google that before I asked on N4G, it would save a lot of embarrassment.

iseven5679d ago

its their loss but maybe itll happen one day

tplarkin75679d ago

Many people will be abandoning Wii and DS development.

Firs t they announced *No New IP For Next 10 Years* now this, it seems they really do not wanna work anymore.

Nihilism5679d ago

They have RAGE and possibly Doom 4 coming next year as well, for a small developer they certainly aren't slacking off. They have a developement staff of like 20 people as opposed to bethesda or bioware who have like 50 on a team. Before now they were an independant company too so they lacked the funding to pump out new I.P's etc. But now that Zenemax bought them out, I imagine we'll be seeing a lot more and a lot bigger things from them.

Eiffel5679d ago (Edited 5679d ago )

ID primarily focuses on the PC platform, it's their fortay. I'm surprised enough they are even involving them self with consoles in general. I think that's the far enough stretch we're gonna get from them.

I hope the devs can break away from MS and take their IP's with them in the not to distant future. This entire consolidation and mass industry firings that MS has spearheaded has been nothing but a disaster for everyone except the already rich creatively bankrupt tw@ts at Microsoft.

MS is nothing but a drain on the entire gaming industry and every facet of it.

There is precedent already with bungie separating from Microsoft but I doubt Microsoft will let them go out with their IP’s without paying a huge price

Good for them. From what I hear Microsoft supports it but unfortunately it still doesnt change much but its a step in the right direction. More devs across the entire industry should do this. But regardless, you just love to hate anything Microsoft or xbox. Who's fault is it that sony closed down studios? Who spearheaded that? What i don't understand is that if you hate Microsoft so much why the concern. If this bothers you so much you may want to find another hobby. Free up some of that mental energy for your own well being and stop worrying about shit you cant change.

@FlaggerD care to look at yourself in the mirror, obscure? It's like your 132456th account now, and all of them have you being obsessed with Sony. You just can't handle the fact they literally stomped on Xbox, LMAO! Juggernaut my ass haha. Xbots claiming Expedition 33 winning GotY is a win for Xbox because it was on Game pass is the funniest shit ever LMAO!

Good for them. With AI coming for their jobs and their new corporate overlords working overtime to replace them, it’s a smart move.

Notellin77d ago

It won't be long before Microsoft lays off everyone in gaming and routes that money over into AI.

Time for everyone at Xbox to update the resume and start coming up with Indie game pitches.

The point of unionizing is collective bargaining. Sadly, I do not believe they have any leverage, which is likely why Microsoft isn't impeding them: The investment in AI is gargantuan. We're talking about a data center in Wisconsin that's about 200 city blocks. That is massive and insane.
