Wow...didn't they just lay off a whole smattering of people earlier this year or late last year?

Oh man, I'm sure this game is going to look stunning.

...or like a PC-port running on mid-to-high settings.

It'll take forever to be released. CONFIRMED.

ID has left me disappointed with every new release....People like to give that studio a pass because Doom/Wolfenstein...ID is left behind in the gameplay area...The Tech 5 engine wasn't even stable...Rage launched with ugly textures and everything.

I don't know about the IDT5, I don't want to bash the engine because we don't know a lot about it.

However, RAGE was a huge disappointment and the PC version should have excelled at showing off the potential of the Tech 5 much like Battlefield 3 was a showcase for the Frostbite 2.0.

However, in a quest to garner mainstream sells, RAGE suffered from consolitis and in result, id Software took a huge hit to their technical prowess as well as their integrity to produce a high-quality game.

The engine did excel at one thing, draw distance.

RAGE looks pretty amazing when looking up at the sky or out in the distance, even looking down pathways of an area. Not so much up close though.

Still the best quality sky I've seen in a game to date.

I don't understand the hate Doom 3 got, but the original has to be tops for me too.
