This year happened something I thought of as impossible, John Carmack left id Software. I guess the theory about 20-year cycles was not a lie after all
. Currently awaiting news about Doom 4, but honestly nothing exciting has come out about it. I'm beginning to doubt id can pull out something amazing nowadays, as most of its properties have been handled by third-party devs in the past decade, while the main studio focused on the engine. RAGE featured great shooting mechanics and use of weaponry, but it's unbelievable how little content they could cram in over 20 gigs of information. The game ended too soon, and the main culprit is in my opinion the engine. Not much of a technological marvel, that.
