John Carmack announced at QuakeCon that id will be delivering a version of Rage for the iPhone and iPad. He stated that it will use MegaTextures and run at 60 fps. That’s a lot of f’s per s. The demo at QuakeCon was shown on an iPhone 4, but Carmack assured attendees that it would also run on the 3GS. The game will be coming out this year and will fall within the current app store pricing scheme. In anticipation of Rage’s success on iDevices, id is working on a second Rage game that will be released with the PC and console versions next year.
Will this be a full version of the game or will it function as a demo to whet our appetites for the console and PC versions? Either way, iPhone games may soon become a powerful marketing resource to demo future game releases.
