id Software's John Carmack and Matt Hooper spoke with shacknews about the game, revealing some new details on the gameplay.
- Two player online co-op is confirmed for consoles and PC.
Console players will also have the option of split-screen co-op.
- Co-op will be an entirely separate mode that will not include the story elements of the single player campaign.
- Hooper mentioned "armor" and "inventory" systems, and indicated that there will be some type of world economy that the player can participate in.
- The shooter gameplay will play out in the tradition of id FPS titles.
- Vehicles are being used as an "extension of the player," allowing users to drive to instances, or race on tracks that are found in each town.
- Racers will have two seats for co-op riding, with one player manning a gun.
- Vehicles can run over monsters, but the gore will be limited, as id is shooting for a Teen rating to broaden its audience.
- Training missions played at racetracks will teach players new vehicle skills.
- Though the world will be large, it is not a sandbox title or traditional "open world" game--players will need to complete the game's story quests in a linear fashion.
- Instances, encounters and items will be crafted, not procedurally generated as in a game like Diablo.
- The game is targeted for release sometime within the next two years--likely in the final half of 2009.
