Id decided to do a driving game this time. It is first and foremost a
driving/racing game, but will have FPS elements.

In regards to the 360, if Id is forced to do stuff to get it to fit on
only 2 DVDs, due to Microsoft's cost per disk issue, the 360 version
will end up looking worse.

Well, apparently according to Id now, they did manage to get around
the memory issues regarding the 360 and Carmack is now complaining
about Microsoft's licensing issues per disk.
