John Carmack (aka God), where is the new id software engine?

I don't know, I have this file on my HDD, named doom3.mpg. Ah, the Doom III engine. Well, I watched it again recently, and it reminded me of how old it is. February 21, 2001. Man... that's over 14 months since the new "engine" was shown, and I don't think I have seen anything else about it since. I don't know, I just want an update or something, some kind of an updated video or interesting article explaining the steps they are at in finalizing the engine or whatever. I feel like I shouldn't have a video file on my HDD that dates 2.21.01. I just like anticipating stuff, I don't want doom III to spring out of nowhere later this year or something. This thing is going to be groundbreaking, so many games will be built on this engine, or a modified version of it. I want something to finally be rid of the Quake III engine which IMO needs to be put to rest. God, please tell me there won't be any more Quake II engine games, cause that would be hillarious. Where are the updates? Where is there an interview with John Carmack that is recent (<90 days old)? Something new!?

JC is god!!

If it were not for ID and JC we would prolly not have most of the greatest games ever made!

You all owe JC and ID if you enjoy any FPS made

I will pray for all you heathens, with luck god may forgive you in time

Well, probably every post ever made in this forum offends someone to some degree, and I won't apologize for that remark, because it's my opinion. I wasn't bashing anyone or belittling anyone in this forum.

I think he has an issue because he was asked to change a sig with some derogatory comment about god in it. Don't worry about it Milo.

OK, so now that we are over debating who is and isn't "God"... does anyone know of any more information being posted or released about the Doom III engine?

I disagree :)

P.S. god doesn't exist to begin with ;)

Also John Carmack doesn't want over media exposure is why and if you think about it he makes a valid point. Many in fact 90% of the FPS games coming out from now until 2004 the devs have stated that they siimply dont want to spoil the best features before its even out (kinda like the good ole $7+ movies you go see)

I see your point. Still, a estimated release date maybe? Nothing like that hurts in case he doesn't want to give away some of the detailed things that go on in Doom III.

Well maybe he doesn't want to set a date and then have to push it back. People get very upset when that happens.
