A proper Soldier of Fortune reboot wouldn't hurt either :D Imagine all the possibilities of GHOUL system with modern graphics engines :D
I soiled my pants there. I really miss Soldier of Fortune.

Somehow the only thing that strikes me here is 'why not come up with this idea BEFORE Ryzen gets released'.

Right now it feels like too little too late. We just had DOOM which runs great. I don't see the economic incentive to push development on this while Vulkan is still gaining traction.

If It was ubisoft or someone that lets 3rd parties make games on there engine id take notice.

But ID software are Bethesda softworks so only they will use there game engines.
