id Software is pushing for a 2004 release once technical issues subside.
According to an article published on CNN/Money today, id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead says that a 2004 release of the Xbox version of DOOM 3 is "still up in the air."
Despite the fact that publisher Activision, Inc. and developer Vicarious Visions are both pushing for a 2004 release of DOOM 3 on Xbox, limitations imposed by the Xbox's technology could make that a difficult task.
Hollenshead contends, "It could happen, but that's not our focus right now. Our focus is on the gameplay. ... DOOM 3 is a game that on the PC is very finely tuned. There was a lot of play balancing. The stuff that was supposed to be tense resulted in a lot of tension for players. The stuff that was supposed to be scary makes people crap their pants. We want the Xbox version to be just as good."
Aside from DOOM, Hollenshead also mentions that id's next project will be a brand-new intellectual property.
