Now that they’re gone, at QuakeCon we saw the first peek at a new idea in gaming, creating HD quality FPS games for devices like the iPad and iPhone, in the form of the id tech 5 engine based Rage HD.  Ken had a chance to try it out on his iPhone 4 and you can see the video of it that he uploaded right here.


“This game however seems to be more of a proof of concept for a bigger, more fleshed out version of mobile RAGE.
