id Software and Escalation Studios have compacted the essence of Doom 3 into an iPhone app with Doom Resurrection, an on-rails first-person shooter that teleports the player from Mars to Hell and back.
Doom Resurrection and Wolfenstein 3D Classic are only the beginning for id Software on the iPhone, with everything from Wolfenstein RPG to the upcoming Rage making their way to Apple’s platform.
With the rail-shooter Doom Resurrection for the iPhone hitting the App Store at any moment, Kotaku spoke to John Carmack about design decisions, multiplayer, and why the game was nearly cancelled months into development.
Quake developers id Software are very fond of Apple’s iPhone as a gaming platform. The first-person shooter focused id has already released Wolfenstein 3D Classic and is planning double the Doom, including a scaled down semi-remake of Doom III.
