Doom Resurrection coming to the iPhone next week
Even as the open-sour effort to bring the original Doom to the iPhone trundles toward an eventual release this Summer, id Software’s John Carmack has announced an all-new version just for Apple handhelds is coming next week, promising jaw-dropping visuals and gameplay.
The Mirror (U.K.) reports that Doom Resurrection, a new game in the legendary Mars/Hell-set first-person shooter series, is coming to the iPhone and iPod touch next week. Created using “downsampled” art from the PC and console hit Doom III, Carmack says this will be entirely new game, with a new plot unfolding across eight new levels with around five hours of gameplay.
