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?
