Doom 4 Engine Only For Bethesda Games, Says id Boss

On the one hand, I understand why they chose this path.
On the other hand, I think of the countless use that the Unreal 3 engine got, and I'm sure they could make countless more millions of dollars and we'd have countless more awesome games if everyone had their hands on the technology.
But for a while I guess they can just keep it to themselves. I mean, it is a competitive market.

TES V on this would be phenomenal, and I'm sure once the current crop of id games sell really well thanks to the tech they will eventually shop it around. It already looks fantastic so I can't wait to see what happens with it a few years down the line when people have had the chance to tinker with it (look at how much unreal engine games have improved over the years).
Also the Brian Blessed + DOOM comic as DOOM 4 genuinely made me laugh out loud & I would buy in a heart beat (if you've never experienced the latter here is a dramatic rendition http://doomcomicdrama.ytmnd.com/ ).

Hmmm. This is an interesting development. I'm just worried about playability on my crappy desktop.
So this means it will be a locked game with zero or highly controls and restricted modding? Oh boy..... ALso if they don;t make it middle ware....how in the hell are they going to make money off it? Surely not the test demos they call games.....
id Software is running RAGE at 60hz on consoles. GoW runs at 30hz, even then it lags. Most games will run at 30hz with the exception of racing titles and a select few other titles. It's an impressive feat to say the least, especially considering the visual fidelity that id Software maintains on both console platforms. Then again, it won't run as well as on PC anyways, which is my platform of choice.

They are protecting the crown jewels. 
Also i don't like ID's textures and color palette looks like plastic.

Assuming the Doom 4 engine doesn't break the average computer, it does look tasty. The scenery looks as close to realistic as anything I've seen since the Source engine, but I'm not sold on the character models. We spend all this time making the world look real, but we can never seem to nail down realistic people.
For those of you who are worried about the animations in RAGE, just check this out. It's one of the few videos that contains any extensive in-game footage.

Now this is for RAGE, and not any of the subsequent Bethesda made titles which is so infamous for shit animation, but heck, the id Tech 5 engine is more than capable of dealing with very detailed animations.
In RAGE the enemies will cradle their injured arm and such, which is sweet.

Sounds pretty reasonable to me, the industry is already over satturated with Unreal Engine 3 games, wether they suck or not, almost every game is using it. Although I'm a fan of the UE3 engine, I think Bethesda owe to themselves to use this engine exclusively, especially if they intend on using it for the next Elder Scrolls and Fallout. *drools keyboard*
Good, you have an engine. Now give me my damn Elder Scrolls already. If I have to wait much longer for an announcement I'm going to violently murder a duck.
Absolutely, positively yes. Maybe the characters won't stand absolutely still during conversation anymore! :-Dthethingthatlurks said:
