Video of id Software's Next Engine Emerges

Monday 11th June 2007, 11:55:00 AM, written by Richard Connery

Earlier today id Software's technical director John Carmack demonstrated his company's newest engine, id Tech 5, on an unsuspecting crowd at Apple's WWDC conference. After many low resolution photographs of the projection screen having surfaced on the internet, the first videos emerge showing the demonstration in full.

The first video shows the entire id Software presentation though the quality is not the best. The second video's size is small but the quality is slightly better, though only the streaming version is available and the video is incomplete. The first 1:28 minutes deals with Electronic Art's plans to port some of their most popular games (like BF 2142) to OS X at which point Steve Jobs introduces John Carmack.

Carmack also announced their next engine runs on XBOX 360, PlayStation 3, PC and Macintosh. You can join the discussion here.
