The Zone

 

 

id Software has had a history of gaming innovations. From Wolf 3D, which introduced 3D gaming, to Doom which introduced 3D gaming with levels, to Quake, which brought actual 3D levels with perspectives and moving skies, id has always been on the forefront. Even their Doom 3, which wasn't a big hit as their previous games, still made innovations in lighting effects, bump-mapping, and interactive in-game screens.

 

Then came Crytek's Crysis, which surpassed their earlier Far Cry. Crysis had HDR (High-Dynamic Range real-time lighting effects) and Windows 6 (Vista) DirectX 10 (Unified Shader Model 4). id Software slipped into the background, while news of their upcoming Rage game came about.

 

Now, id Software is working on Doom 4. Will these 2 games be id Software's claim back to the throne of leading-industry games? We shall wait for news from the gaming world and keep you updated.
