Yeah, saw it on RPS. Looks pretty cool, I wonder if it can deliver on its promises.

just watched the trailer... looks pretty good... those graphics are quite nice. Let's hope we get some great gameplay out of Id.... I love the company, but many of their games are lacking in the gameplay department.

Will you believe that I never knew that it's pronounced Id as in Latin Id and not I D (as in 'idea')? Man. Having played their games all the way back to Doom I feel like a complete freaking retard.
Go ahead and laugh, bitches.

/sarcasm off.

Bah.
You all suck. Wiki confirms it all btw.
| | | | Quote: The name of the company is currently written with a lowercase id, which is pronounced as in "did" or "kid", and is presented by the company as a reference to the id, a psychological concept introduced by Sigmund Freud. Evidence of the reference can be found as early as Wolfenstein 3D with the statement "that's Id, as in the id, ego, and superego in the psyche" appearing in the game's documentation. Even today, id's History page makes a direct reference to Freud.[12]
However, when working at Softdisk, the team that later founded id Software took the name "Ideas from the Deep" (a company created by John Romero and Lane Roathe in 1989), attributing themselves as the "IFD guys". Since "id" can be seen as a shortening of IFD to "ID", some have been led to believe that it can be pronounced "eye-dee". The logo was originally capitalized, but was made lowercase with the release of Doom. It has never been the mixed-case "iD". | | | | |
I actually have a quite a few English words (ie not idiosyncratic company names like id ) that I've know and used for ages in writing and that I accidentally find out about that they're pronounced very differently from what I always suspected. That's what you get for reading and writing a lot of English but not really speaking it often.

well, to be fair, English is a screwed up hodge podge of languages with some very screwed up pronunciation rules.
On the other hand, the word Id is from German and 2 freakin' letters, so you can't use that excuse.

I think what is meant is that he used 'id' as a translation of the original German concept 'es', probably in some attempt to expand his theory to a wider and more scientific audience. Because id is definitely an originally Latin word.

Just bumping the topic. I believe this one could one of those rare surprises of 2010 if it is released in 2010.
