I though Doom 3 was the last one they were making?
Anyway on topic:
Hope they use ID Tech 5 engine and this time have a more interesting based story line because Doom 3 was indeed repetitive.
its only funs with a ton of cheats and killing hoes... :p

Although depending on how long it's going to take, they might end up using id Tech 6...
:rockout:
JAmes.
Half-Life 2 on the other hand, OMG that game was GREAT the entire way through. The game always has you doing something new. I'm willing to bet my life's fortunes that the id boys studied HL2 and the developer's commentary!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.......... i love doom series...... i got every game of doom.... doom1, 2, ultimate, 3 and cant wait till 4 !!! OMG, Doom 4 would have killer graphics i bet !!!!
im a BIG FAN of Doom series and the star wars series !!!!!!!
i hope they better have a better engine, weapons, story ( main part is the story ) and have the really scary envinornments... not like one stupid guy who opened a portal to hell and he controls hell ??? seriously makes no sense..... this time they better have some F***** story so that it suits the demon ass blasting experince
but anyways....... im pretty happy doom 4 is coming out, but does anyone know by what time it will be out ??
Enter HL2, id found how much Doom 3 sucked compared to HL2, what did they copy? The expansion pack Resurrection of Evil had a cheap remake of the HL2 Gravity Gun.
Unless Doom4 is going to be something with wide-open spaces and confined space puzzles (what VALVe calls 'road blocks'), and unless it sheds the PITA key-hunts which in Doom3 was pooly transformed into "slog your ass through the whole base to press one button on a computer screen somewhere", I'm not even getting the demo of it.
I've seen the Doom3 engine do large open spaces quite nicely, it's a shame they didn't have larger areas in most of the maps, as the engine was fully capable of it.
But, it's ID Software - I'm 100% certain their next release will kick as as usual.
I'm just stoked, though - now that ID Software has officially confirmed a new game is going into development, it means they'll probably be releasing the source code to Doom3 within a year . . . and there are quite a few total conversion mods that have been moving along rather slowly without that code.
We should see some kick ass D3 mods after the source is on the net!
i just hope this game doesn't take years to bring out like the notorious DNF
and yea the doom 3 engine was the same engine to make ETQW afaik and that game looks great!
