Once Doom 3 is done, Carmack & Co. will begin work on an original game.

With the PC version of Doom 3 now officially due by the end of this summer, many gamers are wondering what id Software's next project will be. Other, more cynical industry-watchers are already wagering how many years it will take to complete.

Last week, the first group got their answer--sort of. While speaking to Reuters at E3 last week, id CEO Todd Hollenshead let slip that id's team will begin work on their next project almost immediately after Doom 3 ships. He also revealed that the game would not be based on any earlier id-developed series, but rather it would be an entirely new "intellectual property," as the lawyers like to call it.

As for Doom 3, Hollenshead assured Reuters that the summer release date was firm--or at least as firm as a seasonal release window can be. "At this point, the team back in Mesquite (Texas) is literally working on finishing," he said.

Carmack said he would make one more engine. Usually I'd say they would make a game based on the Doom 3 engine, but I'm guessing Carmack has been sitting on thumbs with this engine long enough to want to make his 'last' engine right away so he can retire and build space ships or whatever.

well...he never said this would be his last game...so this one could be based on Doom3 engine, and another engine later on...man, i bet the doom3 engine is gonna be the most powerful thing out for a good while...imagine if a dev. team used the Doom3 engine for graphics, while they used the HL2 Havoc engine for physics...THAT would be a crazy game

i just want to get ahold of quake 4 or similare.... and start working on my map...
