QUAKE(s) & More of id's iPhone Plans

There's a John Carmack interview on MTV Multiplayer talking about DOOM Resurrection, the upcoming DOOM iPhone game. A separate topic that comes up along the way is future plans, as the id Technical Director reveals ambitions to bring QUAKE, QUAKE II, and QUAKE III Arena to Apple's Smartphone as well. He says there's "no doubt" that QUAKE and QUAKE II are coming to the iPhone and that QUAKE III Arena will be possible "if Apple winds up addressing just a few things in their system software," though he says QUAKE III Arena "would not be a problem at all" on the iPhone 3GS. He also touches on plans for a RAGE-themed iPhone game, that possible confusion with Wolfenstein RPG is what's holding up the release of Wolfenstein 3D Classic, and that he envisions a DOOM 2 RPG in the future as well. He acknowledges this is a pretty heavy schedule, saying, "I expect we’ll have an iPhone project every two to three months over the next year." On a semi-related note, Joystiq has a brief story on how DOOM Resurrection was originally planed as a Wii game.
