I wish I could understand more than 1% of the article and presentation, and I also wish I could play this game under wine...
I remember when Doom 1 was released, the usage of assembly for the rendering impressed many people.

Wow the comments section of that article is... intense...

So I "id Software" is still combining computer science and video games, awesome.

I didn't even know that Doom 4 (5 if you count the great "Absolution/Doom 64") uses Vulcan, does this mean that a Linux port is coming at some point?

It always amazes me that these talks about the Id-engine sounds like an advanced math class, which I haven't seen at other presentations (which is probably just me only watching id presentations).

The game runs on the PS4, so they had to make the engine cross platform (FreeBSD). Can't imagine it would be to hard to have a linux version running if they don't have it already.
Maybe not releasing it (yet) as they probably need to support it and they just might not want to do that.
