Speaking to Variety’s The Cut Scene, id Software co-founder John Carmack has revealed that there are currently no plans to offer dedicated servers for its upcoming open-world FPS Rage.
“It’s not cast in stone yet, but at this point no, we don’t think we will have dedicated servers,” said Carmack.
It’s a decision that, as Infinity Ward has discovered, has the potential to anger many of the developer’s hardcore fans. Carmack admits that he’s pleased not to be pioneering the move away from dedicated servers.
“The great thing is we won’t have to be a pioneer on that,” he said. “We’ll see how it works out for everyone else.”
Speaking more generally about Rage, Carmack confirmed that development is going well.
“It’s looking realistic,” he said. “We are on a crunch right now to do presentations for console first party manufacturers, so things are cooking along well for Rage. Doom 4 is obviously a bit further out.”
