The brains behind Doom and Quake, John Carmack, has revealed that he is really interested in making a “completely different” kind of Wii game, one that will most likely be based on an existing “id Software” property.
Here are some choice quotes:
“Interestingly, I actually spend far more time playing Wii with my four year-old boy than I do with any other game console. So I’m definitely sympathetic to the platform,” he said.
“We’ve been pitched and talked about a project to do a title that would fit well on the Wii, and it’s actually related to an iPhone title that we’re doing. But that’s still kind of up in the air as to what other developer we would partner with on there.”
And it will not be a rehash:
“Yeah, it would have to be a completely different game. We would use one of our existing IPs where we have a little bit of leverage. It’s not something that really any of our titles, that are under development currently would be appropriate for,” he noted.
