Following on from the previous post, and as a reminder of how far mobile gaming has come, a new edition to id Software’s iconic Doom series will soon be available on Apple’s iPhone. Doom Resurrection has been in development for six months at Texan indie outfit Escalation Studios. The game’s arrival will apparently mark a turning point for the iPhone game app library, in that it will offer enhanced 3D graphics far superior to the initial batch of iPhone titles.
Textures used in the game have been largely taken from the PC game Doom 3 (which is the to date the latest version of the iconic game) and downsampled to fit. id co-founder John Carmack has suggested that a big challenge in designing Doom was the control system, where new approaches were taken with shooting and aiming on the iPhone's touch screen. Can't wait to see this one personally!
