id Software, who made it pretty clear since last year that they’re backing up the iPhone, has revealed that they’re going to port Wolfenstein RPG for the platform, and is already testing Quake III for a release as well.

John Carmack, co-founder of id, says that if they do release Quake III, there’s a chance they’ll also include the level upgrades from the browser-based Quake Live, which launched just recently.

There are several of us that are poking around in our somewhat after-hours and discretionary time on things. It’s kind of exciting to look at that. We’re working with a more vanilla Quake III codebase.

But now that I’m thinking about all this stuff, if we turned this into a product, even if it’s not part of the Quake Live framework, we’ll probably go in and pick up all the tweaks and changes to the core gameplay and the levels that have been developed for Quake Live.
