Id Software is apparently going to unveil their new internal game tonight at their annual Quake Convention Press Conference.  What we know about the game so far it that it's not based on any existing Id property (Quake, Doom, etc) and that a lot of emphasis is being put into the gameplay instead of it being just a technoligical showpiece.  It also will use their new multi-platform game engine.  It should be interesting to see what they have planned since there has been some talk of a slight change in direction for the company.

They announced the game Rage but I assume it's only for PC since they never mentioned the 360 or PS3. Also they mentioned the new Wolfenstein game coming to PC/360/PS3, apparently the 360 is the primary development platform for the game.

I was gonna say "Doom", but then read the post... have any link with videos, legend?

Oops RAGE is also coming to 360/PS3, I'll start a new thread about it..

New id FPS needs two discs on 360, one Blu-ray on PS3

idTech is real ... and it will finally arrive in a brand new game, Rage. Simultaneously developed for PC, Mac, PS3, and 360, Rage will use the second generation of id's "Megatexture" technology. What does that mean? 20GB worth of texture information will be squeezed through the engine's technology to deliver visually stunning scenes. Regardless of the compression, the game will require two DVDs for all platforms ... but the PS3.

The need for added space in the HD-era of games is clear. Blu-ray's added storage allows the game to run on a single disc. The game itself is a departure for id, where it will try to combine "60 percent shooting and 40 percent driving." After a comet smashes into the Earth, players will have to fight the monsters that roam the wasteland.

id plans to make Rage a 20 hour single player experience, and plans to offer co-op. Also, in a surprising change of pace, their aiming for a suspiciously safe Teen rating. The game will ship "when it's done."


Video is on joystiq, Kotaku, and PS3 Fanboy.
