There's lore of things we're going to tap into in the existing community and hopefully with QuakeZero and some other things we can do, we can build that and then when it comes out hitting on all cylinders, we can have people feel they're part of what is going to be what I hope is the next definitive multiplayer competition game. I almost feel that Quake 3 still is. Tournaments don't use it as much, older graphics and all with the sponsors liking the fresher thing. But I still think that if you want to settle a 1v1 FPS grudge match, it's Quake 3. No other game has this connection and overwhelming feeling, and that's the goal that we'd like to bring. And bring it we will.

In a surprise demonstration during Steve Jobs' keynote at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference today, John Carmack unveiled id's latest revolution in game engine technology with the very first showing of id Tech 5%u2122 running live on the Mac with OS X.

The ground breaking technology unveiled today will power id's new internally developed game and will be available for licensing to third parties. The new id rendering technology practically eliminates the texture memory constraints typically placed on artists and designers and allows for the unique customization of the entire game world at the pixel level, delivering virtually unlimited visual fidelity. Combined with a powerful new suite of tools designed to specifically facilitate and accelerate this content creation process, id Tech 5 will power games that contain vast outdoor landscapes that are completely unique to the horizon, yet have indoor environments with unprecedented artistic detail.
