Sure, the PS3 might be getting more great games than ever before, but more and more developers are already setting their sights on the next gen. Now, we’ve uncovered a job listing that suggests that id Software are working on a FPS for the next gen.
A id Software job advert for a Senior Environment Artist states that “the ideal candidate should have experience with the full range of Next-Gen asset creation”, which points towards the game being for the next gen. Console development experience is also mentioned, so it’s unlikely the title is PC only.
With Doom 4 supposedly set to release next year for PS3, 360 and PC, there’s always the chance that a higher-def version will come to PS4 and 720. Other possible titles include Wolfenstein, Rage 2 or Quake V, although there’s always the chance that the game is a new IP. However, a job listing for a Senior Level Designer does ask for “familiarity with id Software games, characters, brands and worlds”, so even if it is a new IP, don’t expect a big change in design.
