You need to make a franchise, not just a game says id's Willits
It's just the smart thing to do
Id's Tim Willits has been talking about the importance of building the basis of a series not just a single game when creating new Ips.
With their latest creation, Rage due out next week, id are doing their very best to make sure that there will be plenty of demand for a sequel.
He explained: "You need to made a franchise. Especially for us. We're doing everything we can to turn Rage into a franchise, please let it sell so we can make another one. We definitely, from the get go, planned to make this a much bigger franchise, a much richer world, that allows us to have different games, and we can make more mobile games, heck, we could make a social game with Rage if we wanted to. And hopefully we can make a Rage 2. Hopefully."
Willits added on the technology side of things: "It's huge investment in new technology, it's taken us a long time to make the engine, we're definitely leveraging this technology of course with the next Doom game and hopefully with Rage 2 and some of our other titles. From a business standpoint, making a part two is always smart."
