Update: Looks like we (along with a few other websites) spent too much time losing ourselves in Hollenshead's beautiful blues and -- hearts full of hope -- skimmed over his real meaning entirely. Maybe if they'd stop making these alarm buttons so red and shiny, we'd be less tempted to press them so often.
“When it’s done,” you’re done. Go running back to Duke Nukem Forever. You knew what this was.
While speaking with GameTrailers TV at last month’s DICE Summit, id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead gave gamers the signal to look out over the horizon, because Rage is a comin’.
When asked whether his company’s latest monosyllabic murder simulator would blow its top in 2010, Hollenshead replied, “No, we'll be out this year."
Well, that’s good enough for us. Rage will be published by Electronic Arts and will probably aid F.E.A.R. 2 and Sadness in helping some website establish a “Best Game Ostensibly about a Vague, One-Word Emotion” award category for their best games of – take of whiff of that new release window smell – 2009. We can’t wait to hear more.

That's because John Carmack isn't a game designer, he's a coder. He creates the technology and rendering engine that the designers build worlds from. It's not his fault id software makes games that have little to no story line, nor that the level designs might be subpar by your standards. You need to read the credits at the end of the game to see who's to blame for that, because it's not Carmack.

EA to publish the new game by id software? Not Activision? I doubt the Blizzard/Activision merger would be the reason, but EA seems to be picking up everything Activision drops. Like it matters who publishes anything anymore, people find other ways to publish games (bit torrent) before it hits the stores.
but seriously id software needs to do something other than another FPS. I want a new Commander Keen sequal!
