id Software, the iconic team behind the Wolfenstein, Doom and Quake franchises, is currently working on their first new IP in over a decade, RAGE. The upcoming cross-genre title, largely considered a first-person shooter with driving and open world elements, was recently given a firm release date of September 13th, 2011 in North America. The announcement comes over a year prior to the planned launch, a rarity in an industry that tends to reveal launch details at the last possible second in production. id's release announcement shows a degree of consideration and planning that the larger gaming industry should work to adopt.
Welcome to Developer_Direct 2025, a behind the scenes look at new gameplay, features, and the latest info for some of the biggest games coming to Xbox in 2025. You’ll hear straight from the game creators at id Software, Compulsion Games, Sandfall Interactive, and a surprise studio for a game that we’re excited to unveil.
Looking forward to the announcfement of Halo MCC coming to other platforms. I'd love to see an influx of new players for some blood gulch matches.
Speculated games that could be that 1 more thing.
Resident Evil 9 (maybe imo)
Persona 6 (not likely imo)
FF Remakes (not likely imo)
New Lost Odyssey (definitely not, its not a long running franchise)
Ninja Gaiden 4 (maybe and hopefully)
I really hope it's Ninja Gaiden 4 but its probably Resident Evil 9.
I hope they don't waste the direct advertising a third-party game. We get enough of that with Sony.
Edit: Ugh. Disappointed. Not that it's NG4, but that they used this time to advertise a game that doesn't need it over another 1st Party title.
Not saying this will happen at this show but apparently a new a Halo could get announced. Yep a brand new Halo. Could be a spin off or something but. A new a Halo announcement would be pretty wild.
And i thought it was xbox exclusive since i didn't see ps5 during the show but it on psn right now to purchase.
Multiple games are currently in development at Bethesda Game Studios' id Software, based on the latest information.
I’d love another Quake, maybe even a more horror slanted Doom.
I’d be very happy with a new IP though.
I would like a wolfstein reboot by Id, machinegames ones are good but too enfatuated with cinematics
id would deserve major props if they rolled the dice on *either* of those choices.

I did think it was rather odd that they'd announce the release date so far in advance.
Good read, but did they ever announce a release date for GT5 and then delay it? I thought they simply never spoke of it.
I wonder how many people are "raging" over the change? :p
Because of one game? I don't think so. People on the internet get so worked up over nothing.
Not sure I like their approach for no IP for a decade but Rage´s looking phenomenal.
Doom 4 a safe bet for 2012 then?
