id hints at Quake DS game

id Software's John Carmack says he would really like to do a "Quake Arena-themed game on the DS".

Admitting that he's a huge fan of Metroid Prime Hunters' control system, the developer - who earlier told QuakeCon attendees about a two-week holiday in a hotel working with the DS dev-kit - said Quake for DS would probably be "the next DS game"

"I'm pretty sure I'm going to make that one happen," he said, although nothing's been signed yet.

"My early inclination on this is to build a game that is definitely Quake Arena-themed... but leave it more or less Doom 2 style deathmatch with two-and-a-half-D," he said of its potential content.
