Here’s a two part walkthrough of iD’s new engine, Tech 5, by it’s creator, John Carmack. There’s also a video exploring all the cool features of Tech 5.
I’m betting iD is going to make a butt-load from licensing this engine for all platforms.
Rage will be the latest software title coming from iD who gave us a little title called Quake and the mind behind the game will be headed by John Carmack who help bring us another small game called Doom. Gameindustrybiz reports that they have also added a second dev team consisting of about 20 or so people to work and finish the title. What consoles will be included in this are not yet clear, but expect tons of content from us here at Loot Ninja to keep you updated.
That’s right Mac fans, you’ll get your chance to frag away with both of Epic’s non-console versions here. No longer will you need to use Boot Camp to switch over to Windows.
Mark Rein confirmed the news during Game Head, which airs late Friday nights on SpikeTV. Rein enthusiastically announces in the video:
And don’t forget, we’re also doing Macintosh. Yes, Gears is coming to the Mac and so is UT.
This is great news for anyone thinking that Mac can’t compete in gaming. With most major games now being released simultaneously for Windows and Mac, and John Carmack developing a crazy new game engine on the Mac, there’s little holding anyone back from switching.
I can’t wait to get my Macbook Pro…
At yesterday’s Apple WWDC (that’s Worldwide Developer Conference for the lay person), id Software’s John Carmack demoed the new game engine he’s been working on, dubbed id Tech 5.
Looks pretty damn cool. As per Carmack, more will be shown at E3 on the specific game being developed on this engine for Mac, PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. Sounds like a plan to me.
