An article in the current issue of Wired magazine confirms what a lot of gamers were suspecting already: Microsoft is actively courting id Software for the exclusive console rights to Doom III. According to the article a feature on current developments in the jaw-dropping PC FPS—the company behind the Xbox is offering an undisclosed amount of money to id in exchange for the right to make their latest game an Xbox-only title as far as consoles are concerned. (It`d still come out on the PC, of course.)
The folks at id reportedly haven`t made a decision on the matter yet—it seems a reasonable enough assumption (lead programmer John Carmack has made comments in the past that seem to show a preference for the Xbox), but we`ll see how it turns out. The PC game will likely be playable at the Electronic Entertainment Expo next month in Los Angeles.
