日前，第一人称射击游戏《Doom》和《Quake》的开发商id Software公司宣布，将面向Android推出史上最大阵容的手机游戏，与此同时还打出了求贤广告，招募“具有丰富经验和资质的程序员，以便将这个大型手机游戏植入Android空间。”

虽然该公司目前尚未透露该游戏名称，但从“我们下一个大型手机游戏”等表述中可推测，该游戏可能类似《Rage》这种基于掌机游戏技术支持，同时也适用于iPhone的第一人称射击游戏。

其招聘广告的岗位要求也从侧面印证了这一猜测，“（我们所需要的）Android程序员需深入了解id移动引擎，同时可以将移动研发技术应用于Android平台。”

Rumour: id’s Rage coming to Android FPS masters now looking for an Android programmer

Android gamers could be forgiven for getting a little despondent. The iPhone family seems to be going from strength to strength as a gaming platform, with the recent release of Apple’s social gaming network Game Center only solidifying its position.

Meanwhile, Android Market continues to be a half-formed mess of year-late iPhone conversions and sub-standard amateur efforts, with the odd timely gem thrown in for good measure.

Perhaps this will cheer you up – it looks like one of the biggest, most ambitious mobile games ever may be coming to Android. The maker of such seminal FPS games as Doom and Quake, id Software has posted a job listing for “a talented and experienced programmer to help bring our next big Mobile game to the Android space.”

The name of the game isn’t mentioned, but the description of “our next big Mobile game” suggests it could well be Rage, a technically advanced console FPS that’s also being developed for iPhone.

The likelihood of such a conversion is strengthened by the job description, which appears to rule out a completely new or exclusive project: “The Android programmer is responsible for familiarizing themselves with existing id Mobile engines, bringing Mobile development to Android.”

Having just knocked year-late iPhone conversions, we wouldn’t mind an Android version of Wolfenstein RPG while they’re at it. We’re fickle creatures.（source：PocketGamer）
