Long considered one of the last bastions of hardcore PC gaming, id Software appears to have jumped on the next-gen console wagon with both feet. In an interview with Worthplaying, id CEO Todd Hollenshead said that the developer's next in-house project is being prepped for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, as well as the PC.

"We're looking at PS3, 360, and PC for our internal project," he told the site, "but it's too early to guess on whether we'll have all of those ready to go at the same time. It would be nice if it works out where the launch is simultaneous, but I don't know if that's feasible."

No release window for the unnamed game, which remains top secret, has been announced. However, Hollenshead said that it "is the main focus of the development team at id...I'm not sure when we'll begin discussing details of the new IP, but it will be the next game developed entirely by id, and it WILL be cool." (Emphasis in the original.)

As for other games based on id properties, Hollenshead told Worthplaying that the upcoming Return to Castle Wolfenstein game is being designed with the Xbox 360 foremost in mind. "The next Wolf[enstein] game is using the 360 as its primary development platform but will be released on the PC as well." Revealed at last year's X05 event, the game is currently in development at Raven Software, which developed Quake 4 for the Xbox 360 and the PC under id's supervision.

Hollenshead also said that id was pleased with the critically-drubbed film version of its best-selling Doom series. He also chimed in on what he thought the next id-inspired big-screen offering should be. "The next movie deal that I want to focus on is Wolfenstein," he said. "I think it could make a great film. It's been optioned previously, but now we have the rights back again. I'm hoping that once the game development gets some exposure that interest in Hollywood will perk up."

    I have been dissapionted with Id alot recently. I mean the greatest (imo) fps of all time comes back with a sequal and it was nuts compared to the original. Then Quake, one of the multiplayer kings comes back and it was worse than doom 3. So im hoping this game puts id back in the lead in fps games.

    I don't really know what all these mouse & keyboard peeps r talkin bout, I mean if your good your good like me. Sure it's easier to pull off head shots with a PC but with enough practice it can be done on console like when I play Farcry Instincts im allway's in the top 3 just as I am in BF2 on the PC. Just tweak your "Look" sensitivity and your bound to score more kills!

    why are some people so stuck up about shooters on consoles?even though i have a pc i much prefer playing fps on a console with a pad ! why well my surround sound system costs far more than a top end pc' my screen is huge (it does even have a pc input) and i can just play on a sofa and its down to personal preference anyone that thinks pads are no good for fps get online with HALO 2 and i wonder why so many fps go to consoles and do well ?

    SO id does know where there bread is better buttered. The question will we see optimization for PC or some wack port. Ah well as long as the movie they plan to option is cool I'll be fine. Cross your fingers, here's hoping it ain't Uve Boll. Hey maybe Marc Ecko, he has fingers on the pulse of what makes games great...

    I skipped a half-dozen pages because I'm short on time, but in case no one pointed it out, Id did not develop Quake 4 for the 360.

    I think it's safe to say that the top secret game they are working on is a shooter.

    NinjaFoot, the "unwashed masses" comment was only a joke. In my experience with console shooters, console to pc ports and reviews I have read console shooters are generally more simplified and fast paced so as to appeal to a wider range of gamers. My opinion only.
