John Carmack's annual QuakeCon keynote address ended a few hours ago. It was comparable to his down to earth speech presented last year when he focused on next generation console gaming.

# id Software will be focusing on gameplay over graphics in their next unannounced title.

# id's next title will be a 3D action title that will be their biggest diversion since Wolfenstein.

# A more advanced version of the megatexture technology will be used in id's next title which includes lots of outdoor areas.

# id will continue to work on games that their millions of fans enjoy.

# Quake3 was labeled by Carmack as the "most pure game".

# While they will be developing their next game simultaneously on the XBOX 360, their primary development platform is still the PC.

# Their current project will include multi-processor support in both the console and PC platforms.

# Discussed the lack of progress development software has made over the years.

# id is branching out in a different direction for their new title which they expect to be a blockbuster.

# Discussed the fun his cell phone game development has been.

# Has thought about porting cell phone games over to the Nintendo DS.

# Security was on the minds of id during the development of Quake3.

# The recently patched Quake3 bugs were let into the game code in a later patch, not the original game code.

# Discussed the problems of releasing a game's source code while the game is still popular like they did with Quake3. Carmack polled the audience and asked if they thought he released Quake3's source code too early. Only a few raised their hands.

# The current mod community is slacking because of the work it takes to make mods with such advanced games.

# id wants to stick with games that people inside the company are used to developing.

# id's next game has "a lot of people in it".

# NVIDIA is sponsoring Carmack's Armadillo Aerospace corporation's rocket in the latest X-Prize completion.
