    "oh my god!"

    You read the title folks, RAGE on the 360, will come on two DVD's due to id's megatexture tech and they were considering using a third DVD! It will look a bit worse because of this!

    Doom will have a different engine or not? Crikey, the old one was quite advanced I can only imagine the specs needed to run the new one. It seems that the future brings good games :).

    It's gonna run on Tech 5 "RAGE engine", only they are locking it at 30fps so they can really push the graphics "three times the horsepower" so it will look mindblowing! just like Doom 3 at the time! :)

    Lol at cell phone gaming. Even with Pentium 3 equivalent power out of some phones the games still seem to resemble 80486 gaming...

    locking the game @ 30FPS might be good, since mostly any card can pull 30 FPS with a modern game.

    Doom 4 - all I can say is Awesome-o! I hope it's got a little more variety than D3... but all in all I am totally psyched :)

    Wolfenstein is my favorite FPS series of all time. I love how they've combined some exploration and a good single player mode.
