WorthPlaying speaks with id Software president Todd Hollenshead about the ins-and-outs of Rage, including some of the game's hidden easter eggs.
"WP: Are we going to see any Easter eggs or hidden references to prior id games?
TH: When you get the rocket launcher, if you step away from the computer a little bit or you let it go to another frame, there's a little Doom homage when it goes into the demo reel for the original Doom. People may be a little bit lazy, but then they'll see what happens."
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.
I haven't picked it up yet, but I watched the ign review and their video has the game looking WAY better than the videos I've been watching of it for the past year. I just hope it looks like that when I get it, lol.
