Doom: Resurrection Hits the iPhone Today for $10
by Nick Breckon, Jun 29, 2009 10:22am PDTUpdate: As expected, Doom: Resurrection is now available through iTunes.
Original: Shacknews has learned that after a minor delay, id Software and Escalation Studios' iPhone shooter Doom: Resurrection will hit the iTunes App Store today.
The technically-impressive game, controlled by way of accelerometer motion, has been priced at $10. While the game offers only a singleplayer campaign at launch, Bluetooth-enabled multiplayer and downloadable content are planned for future updates.


A rail shooter that makes use of Doom 3 assets, Resurrection is the product of nine months of work at Escalation. The title is controlled by tilting the iPhone to manipulate an on-screen cursor. Shacknews had the chance to briefly play the game this weekend, and we found the innovative controls--including a button to take cover during firefights--to work as advertised.
For more on Resurrection, stay tuned for an interview with id's John Carmack and Escalation's Tom Mustaine later today.

This just sounds like a waste of $10 to me.

There's an "unannounced project" listed for the Wii so clearly they're also listing games in development. I can only assume this means Severity is no longer in development. If you're interviewing Tom Mustaine ask him what the situation is with Severity.
