John Carmack designates XBOX360 as his "primary dev platform"

Sorry to rain on your parade, but Quake 4 isn't being developed by ID, but by Raven. Their only relationship besides the fact that they are using the Doom3 engine is that ID is providing some character/monster ideas.

IMO ID should stick with making engines, and let the real game developers make the games.

Quake4 X360 is a co-op venture between Raven and ID:

I didn't say they weren't working together. The fact of the matter is that the only thing ID is bringing to the table for Quake 4 is some character designs and their engine. The rest is in Raven's (completely, if not more so) capable hands, which also includes the implementation of GLSL in the graphics engine.

That isn't true - Raven and Id are working together on the game in almost a publisher/developer relationship. Id does have plenty of say in what goes into the game, and how decisions are made.

Also the notion that Id isn't a 'real game developer' is completely ridiculous and isn't even worth a discussion.
 
[quote name='momadaboo']What other games has ID made?[/QUOTE]

Are you serious?

How about:
Commander Keen
Wolfenstein
Doom 1-3
Quake 1-4

They single handedly made the first person shooter. Or at least revolutionized it, twice.

I think he means that Id has not developed a game in a long time aside from Doom 3. Aside from Doom 3 they really have not made many games themselves in a long time, and the trend appears to continue as they have not really made any announcements on the game development front aside from the Doom RPG

Also MS is making the transition to Vista a bitch from what I have read so that may factor into his decision to focus on the 360

And lets not forget the reason damn near every PC has a 3d accelerator & the reason for super powered video cards. When Quake 3 was in development he said that a 3d accelrator would be required. Damn near every video card manufacturer tripped over themselves to get budges cards to the market, knowing that if they didn't thier competitors will. Then when Doom 3 was in development he said basicaly that there is no card on the market that will do what he wants to do with Doom 3 and that basicaly the card manufacturers had about a year and a half to develop new technology and make it affordable. Nobody else has that kind of pull. If it weren't for him 3d would still like like PSOne graphics.
