    Doom 4!

    It was announced as in production on May 7, 2008,[1] following speculation by John Carmack at QuakeCon on August 3, 2007.[2] In Issue 184 of Game Informer, Doom 4 was speculated to be due for release alongside Rage, late in the third quarter of 2009
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doom_4

    Interview, Carmack Talks Rage, id Tech 5:
    http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Sto...214.htm?Page=1

    It's a good thing the new id Tech 5 engine will be based on OpenGL rather than that joke DX10 Vista thing...

    Personally, I greatly enjoyed the previous Doom3, it was an awesome FPS!
    It's funny how people wanted to bash Doom3, all they had to say were the same comments 1,000,000 times over about the flashlight and the darkness, but completely overlooked the fact that it was simply an excellent old-school FPS.

    I'm really looking forward in playing Doom 4 but somehow I doubt that it will be ready by the 3rd quarter of 2009

    Re: Doom 4!

    1) Old news
    2) Why is dx10 a joke?
    3) Never start an informative post by quoting Wiki
    4) Doom 3 was rubbish

    Re: Doom 4!

    Seeing as Doom3 was a re-telling of the original Doom, one can only wonder if Doom 4 will be a remake of Doom II - Hell on Earth?

    Re: Doom 4!

    To be honest I was disappointed with Doom3. Maybe I didn't get far enough into the game but all the levels were very similar. I prefer wide open places to explore.

    Re: Doom 4!

    I think that if they just remake the games over and over then it'll set a bad precedent.
    They have to make a new storyline or risk losing all the gamers when they bring out Doom 5...

    Re: Doom 4!

    Doom 3 was ok but it seemed very oldschool not really new in any areas, graphics were dated. Id software have become very slow at moving forward with the 3D game engine and playablity.

    Re: Doom 4!

    My problem with doom3 was that it became repetitive, and then went on to being dull

    Plus, the initially surpising and scary "demon waiting in closet" became unsurprising and eventually annoyingly unfair. I mean really, what are all these thousands of demons doing waiting in closets for, on the off-chance that some sucker walks by?

    Doom3 was lacking something. I'm not sure what exactly. Just too much of the same, I suppose.

    Graphics were surely not dated!!
    Doom3 had the most advanced graphics of its time when it was released in 2004 and only recently surpassed by Crysis.

    Doom 3 was a great technical demo, but was very boring.

    Not true. Half-life 2 made Doom3 look like a bad joke, I thought, and that was released in 2004. Doom 3's graphics look seriously dated, whereas Half-life 2 still looks pretty fresh in my eyes.

    I guess the engines were designed for very different situations, but I think even the shadows + graphics in thief3 were better than doom3, and that was released in 2004 also.

    Just a bit!

    Anyone who's tried to use the Doom 3 engine for outdoor areas will tell you how much of a pain it is/was until MegaTexture was released. The engine also had a very distinctive 'look' to all objects within a scene that was hard to move away from. You could imediatly tell when something was based on the Doom 3 engine.

    By comparison, The Unreal Engine and Source are very easy to make feel / look different.
    Its not a bad engine, its was just outclassed by the other two big boys.

    Re: Doom 4!

    The only real problem I had with Doom 3 was that I couldn't have my flashlight on and shoot at the same time (a la Fear and HL/HL2...or any other shooter I've played that had flashlights). Hopefully that'll be changed this time around. Other than that, I can't wait to see Doom 4.

    I quite enjoyed Doom3, yes it wasn't very innovative or anything but then it wasn't meant to be, but I've never understood the people whinging about not being able to use a flashlight and shoot at the same time, I thought that was a good thing and made the game far more tense, infact I thought it was a relatively bold move by iD to not follow the flashlight and gun trend.

    Anyway there was enough people whinging about it that a flashlight mod was out within a week or something.

    I hope they keep the flashlight and guns seperate in Doom4.

The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being." Karl Marx
