Doom Resurrection coming to the iPhone next week
By Ronald O Carlson
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.

“The iPhone should be better in performance than the Nintendo DS and the PSP,” says id’s Carmack, adding that the iPhone is “a real game platform, not a tiny little toy.”
Doom Resurrection is being described as a ‘true next-generation iPhone game’
It has already been described as “one of the true next-generation games on the iPhone.”
