Legendary first-person shooter developer id Software says gamers will have to wait before 3D gaming will have any serious impact on the industry.
The Doom 4 and Rage developer said the price of 3D tellys will have to come down before it makes sense for videogame companies to invest in the tech.
"Maybe we're getting to the point where the people who have been pushing 3D, or are pushing 3D now, have figured out a way to make it cool and not so nerdy that nobody wants to do it," id Software boss Todd Hollenshead told Eurogamer.
Id Software is celebrating 35 years and teasing new offerings in press release.
Employees at Doom studio id Software have voted in favour of union representation with the Communications Workers of America (CWA).
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.
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.
QuakeCon 2025 is officially underway, with the largest LAN party in North America also being the place for exciting news for id Software titles. From the return of a keystone franchise in the FPS genre to updates for DOOM: The Dark Ages, DOOM Eternal and more.
That's a given, any new technology needs time before it's mainstream. Prices will come down over time and the technlogy will actually get better too. :)
Shut your mouth, there are already 600 hrz 3-D tvs under $1000 bucks. If you cant afford one now then you never will. This article just proves how full of shit the media and devs alike really are. Blah blah,, shit is too expensive,, but these are the same assholes that are supposedly taking the advantages of both consoles and implenting them into their games. Yeah fuckin right. How bout this, how bout you guys at Id actually make a decent game this gen before you start talking about what other people are planning to do.. The damn media doesn't help out much,, always this negative bullshit , give us gaming news Eurolamer instead of the constant fanboy bullshit your always giving us. Fuckin sites cant keep it real and it makes me sick.
dugh..... is all I can say, wasting my time reading that crap
developers need more time making good mulitplatform games..
wah wah wah sony says its ready so its ready
there's already alot of Devs taking on 3D tech right?
It's only like any other tech, there needs to be early adopters for any tech with great potential, and the new 3D is just that. As for the price, it's remarkably cheap concidering that is IS new tech and I think alot of people don't realise that.
