Why can id Software let go of there ego?

#1

ok so i have been thinking this ever since wolfenstein 2009 came out, why couldnt id software just exept that wolfenstein was over? Like duke nukem did, i have to admit return to castle wolenstein was a great game, and it was cool, but it was cool in the 90’s!! id was a great game company back in the late 80’s through the 90’s, but they just have to admit that there time is over and go away

dont get me wrong, i like wolfenstein, and espically doom, but thoughs games were big in the 90’s, lets keep it that way

Happens with every medium. Look at all of the shitty sequels for movies that have came out.

#3

3d realms has stated multiple times that they are not letting go of Duke Nukem Forever, they just had to fire the development team (lol). A few hand-held Duke Nukem games are actually in development right now.

#4

id didn’t make the last Wolfenstein game. They sourced it out to (another company).

#5

Actually I think ID has been doing pretty good. I mean they’re putting out new ideas and comming out with some pretty fresh looking titles such as Rage. Plus their new engine looks like it can kick the shit out of older tiltled engines.

#6

Even though your products are great financial successes I want you to stop. I don’t like your recent work when compared to your previous releases.

I make perfect sense and you must stop the entire focus of your business on my whim.

Ego here ego there ego everywhere!

^This
Raven made the previous Wolfenstein, and Grey Matter Interactive made Return to Castle Wolfenstein. The latter of which id oversaw development of.

I have to say I’m excited to see what Rage will be like :smiley:

#9

iD is a great company with hilarious antics and fun games. The company’s collective ego has little effect on the way I view their products.

#10

Their time is over? Take a look at Rage, that game looks amazing.

#11

Like i said i love id but they still think that there all that when there not

yes i do agree with this but but, the source engine is still alot better :smiley:

#12

STOP DOING THAT TO ENGLISH. STOP IT.

#13

:rage: RAGE :rage:

Your argument is invalid.

#14

Can ID let go of their EGO, oh man I lolled. :3

I don’t really mind. When they come out with DOOM 4, make a Quake 5, or whatever, I’m still gonna be a happy…camper.

#15

nobody ever made a better game than quake 3

#16

Quake 3 is the worst of the Quakes. I hate multiplayer only… Quake 2 was their best game.

#17

Except for Mario Paint, the best game ever.

#18

[COLOR=‘White’]Objection! is it not true that ID is in fact a very good developer, and has a relatively low ego compared to other developers like Infinityward, Bungie and EPIC.

lets not forget that this guy is way cooler than this asshole

#19

i do agree that thoughs other devoloupers do have a way to big ego, but the difference between them and id is that there the new guys, id is the grampa of game develoupers, i think that they should have died away already, they kinda did from 1999-2009 but then they realesed wolfenstein 2009, and its just like OMG!!! there still here

at least sierra had the good sense to go away when vinvedi swallowed them but id just wont go away.

again dont get me wrong i love id but there history they need to go away
