One of the best titles of the year might turn out to be played on my iPod touch. This is kinda ironic since the iPhone/iPod touch has been mocked as a gaming platform since its birth. The thing here tho is this... John Carmack might be the greatest genious on the planet when it comes to seeing strenght and weaknesses of an individual gaming platform and he´s been hard at work on this exclusive new part in the Doom universe. Its tailored to play great on an iPhone and judging by this radical trailer it looks great aswell. Doom Resurrection seems to borrow heavily from the setting and graphics of Doom 3 but judging from what we see here its NOT the same game shrunken down. It´ll be very interesting to grab a hold of this and give it a try when its released.

Guys. We´re talking about the iPhone here. the hardcore gamer automatic "gah, railshooter" thing dosen´t apply here. You don´t want to play a full fledged first person shooter on a frikkin iPhone. Think about the platffrom we´re actually talking about here. You guys would whine your asses of if you controlled your walking with your thumb in some clumsy manner.
Adapt the game for the platform. Dont try to make an iPhone game somethink it cant be. Dont look for advanced controls on the Iphone, the only thing it´ll do is dissappoint.
And I´m hella glad they realized this for Doom.
I´d rather not scream out "RAILS" and ignore the facts here..
