Interesting snippet about the game I just noticed from last month's Game Informer:
In fact, the entire demo is being played with an Xbox 360 controller plugged into a PC, a stark change for a developer with such a strong PC legacy.
"We don't let them use the mouse right now because the largest chunk of our market's going to be on the consoles," says id co-founder and technical director John Carmack. "That's a pretty strict dictum around here. Tim will go around and whack your hand with a ruler if you're using a mouse to play the game. I mean, yes, you can use the mouse for it, but it's critical that the controller be the way we design the game."
Oh, id.

Funny, pc games now are capped on technology thankz to the shitty xbox, no one make something that cant run in the shitty box, what will do the pc hardware vendors? :D
I mean directx11, 4 cores, ddr3, corei7 for what?
Just read some articles about directx 11 and microsoft say that this new api will make more easy the make of ports from the xbox360 to the pc.
Soo be happy everyone, we will get x10 more ports from the xshitx consola.

To be fair, limiting PC game technology because of consoles doesn't bother me much. Means the games cost less to develop, so the developers and publishers have less reason to bitch about not making any money. I enjoy eyecandy plenty, but if they keep whining about "Oh oh oh we can't afford to make games unless we sell 5 million copies" then fuck.
Though, I haven't read anything about id bitching about not having enough money. Ubisoft is the main one that comes to mind.

What's with releasing tech demos as games these days?
