Gamespy continue to provide QuakeCon 2004 coverage reports. For some tastes of it, Gamespy had a Q&A session with Lead Designer Tim Willits, Lead Programmer Robert Duffy, Lead Artist Kenneth Scott, and the id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead. Here's a quick slice:
"What about the DOOM Movie?
Hollenshead fielded this one, saying that the fate of the DOOM movie rests in Universal's hands. Here's where it is right now: Some preproduction has begun in Eastern Europe. The script is very nearly finalized (the id Software crew read it and gave it the thumbs up), and casting will begin shortly. Rumors are that The Rock is really interested in playing a role in the film, and Hollenshead hinted that if he is signed on that he'll probably portray the Marine Commander. CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE SPACE MARINES GOT COOKING? (Sorry.)"
And for the final sample, they have a summary article up regarding John Carmack on the engine technology of DOOM 3 and what's to come next, it's a very good read IMO(especially for people in the graphics industry). Here's a snip:
"Carmack, filmed while sitting in front of a telescope and a myriad of electronics, kicked off his talk by speaking about where DOOM 3 stands today. He pointed out that cutting-edge game developers frequently have to try to predict where the consumer hardware technology will be at four or more years in advance -- after all, DOOM 3 took four years to create. Most of the early decisions he made turned out to be the right ones, so overall DOOM 3 is hitting the market with the right technology at the right time."
