Regarding the "Why Mac?" question I would say that it really doesn't matter as OS X runs on x86 technology now, and Id Software have always supported *nix based systems quite wholeheartedly.
I also don't think the reason for showing the racing element in the demo was to say that their next IP is a racing game, but more of a showcase of what the game engine can achieve with relative ease from the developers.
Id Software have always been huge in licensing their engines, and if a license partner can put something like this demo together in a matter of days, what kind of product could we expect over a 12 month development span?
Food for thought.

Is there anyone who is wondering why id has presented it's demo on the apple platform in the first place?
Because they have a history of supporting Mac?

yeah, i was wondering that too. reminds me of when they released the quake 3 test on the mac first. wasn't that the last game that came out for a mac?

Are they making a driving game or an FPS? That'd be a change.
i'm pretty sure it's safe to say they are NOT making a racing game. i wonder how many others are going to be confused by this footage? seems pretty obvious to me it's just to showcase the tech, and not footage of their next game.
I asked the same thing in the post the other day about Tech5, I thought it should be Tech7.
This link explains it, though.

Here's my guess to the tech levels:
T1: Wolf3d
T2: Doom 1/2
T3: Quake 1,2,3
T4: Doom III/Q4/ET:QW
T5: This thing, whatever kind of game it is.

Not quite a "higher resolution", but the YouTube clip showing just the Carmack segment seems to show off the demo with better contrast settings

Don't know why but I've never found Quicktime to be a quality video format.
Carmack does say during the presentation :
"This is all running live. And we literally got this together in the last 10 days."
Any of you guys remember the old game Outcast, that used "voxel" technology? John's comments kind of reminded me of that graphic tech.

It is not a good video, and I doubt id is making a racing game, so that was probably put together real quick. But it still does look quite good.

You can see John and id tech 5 at 11:50, if you want to skip to it.

At that resolution it's still really hard to tell how much an improvement it is over id Tech 4. It does seem like there isn't much in the way of repeating textures which is nice. I just wish id's designers/artists wouldn't always choose such drab environments.
The marketing speak makes it sound like the entire engine was built from the ground up with the QW:ET Megatexture stuff in mind. I just wish we had a demo or actual game we could sink our eyes into.
