rage and quake zero, id quakecon speech

Quake zero is virtualy QIII for free and with the new tech 5 engine, so big thumbs up, could prove to be a major dm,tdm,ctf game.

rage is id´s new IP and is still a fps game but alot more open and it will feature open landscapes and tons of driving aswell, think mad max meets motorstorm to make out with unreal tournament and quake in a foursome :)

Some highlights

- tech5 wont make use of dx10 atleast not yet, since according to carmach, we´re not even close to maxing out dx9.

- rage will hit pc, ps3 and xbox 360

- rage will make use of blu-ray and dvd, but unless costs is transparent it wont be released on hd.dvd.

- rage will have co.op

- tech5 games will have it´s own physics engine and not make use of havoc, which carmack never wonted to do with quake4 since he thinks using havoc is a bad idea.

- id prefers the open platform of ps3 compared to xbox´s closed down philosophy but finds the ps3 more challenging, but believes that in the end, the ps3 tech 5 engine will be even better.
