We met one of my personal industry heroes at EGX. Tim Willits was picked up by id Software after making maps for Doom that he distributed via BBS on the early internet.
Then he helped to make Quake, probably the FPS which holds the most fond memories for me. I still maintain that Quake II is the best online multiplayer FPS – even better than Quake III Arena.
Anyway, I’ll stop now, because I’m sure my Quake love is boring you. Here’s the interview we filmed with the man about his upcoming FPS, RAGE. We start a bit suddenly but that’s because I cut out the bit where he chastises Kris for sleeping on comfy chairs. We’ll show you that bit later.

Good interview guys. The new tech they have/seem to be developing sounds like it’ll push current tech that bit further.

15 hours of campaign and 3 DVDs for the 360 version? What am I missing? Can’t believe he never played Borderlands. He should try it. It’s the game they have to live up to! :P

Awesome, can’t wait for Rage. Tim’s a nice guy and maybe I’ve listened to too many of his interviews but he always says the same thing… although Fallout 3 easter egg was new to me.

Can’ wait for this. Unless the reviews are really bad, this is coming to my PS.
