Doom Resurrection made its App Store debut only yesterday, and the game is already in the top 30 paid apps even at the relatively high price of $9.99.  The game also sits at a four and a half out of five star rating even though many fans wouldn’t even consider Doom Resurrection a true first-person shooter thanks to the on-rails gameplay.  So what does all of this mean?  Well, it would appear that id Software has a golden touch when it comes to developing iPhone and iPod touch games, and apparently they are no where near finished.

TouchArcade has constructed a nice list of what id Software has in store for Apple’s popular platform, which we have included below.

- Doom Resurrection - Bluetooth Cooperative Multiplayer coming
- Wi-Fi Multiplayer is currently working in Doom Classic (not yet released)
- Doom Classic closing in on being ready for initial release
- Plans for 3.0 support in Doom Classic with Bluetooth Multiplayer and downloadable content including Doom 2, Ultimate Doom, Final Doom, Master Levels
- Considering competitive internet multiplayer in later update to Doom Classic
- Planning Quake, Quake 2 for the iPhone and maybe all the way up to Quake Arena
- Plans to do a Rage themed from-scratch iPhone title
- Wolfenstein RPG ready to go but being held by EA due to concern about confusion with Wolfenstein Classic
- Doom 2 RPG is in works for mobile and that will be ported to iPhone too
- Very early talks about a modernized Doom (“Doom++”) release with new levels and story

John Carmack and company have stated that they are hoping to release a new iPhone game every 2-3 months for the next year.  Those are some pretty ambitious plans, but I personally hope that they will be fully realized.

Which id game are you most excited to see make it’s way to the iPhone and iPod touch?
