Fucking A!

I really didn't want the series to end with Doom 3. It doesn't have the "Doom" atmosphere, and it just seems like the average shooter at the time.. nothing special. Besides, I want to see it all in post-Crysis graphics.

Hmm, I have hopes for this. Doom 3 had some REALLY good parts, the first part where everyone is screaming, it really puts the fear in you. Hell was SPECTACULAR in it, best part of the game IMO.

If they would have made DOOM 3 just a little less repetitive, it would have been great, but as it stands, Far Cry and HL2 were better at the time.

This better make me crap my pants, Doom 3 was enjoyable and on occasion I jumped a few times, but now with id's new engine they should be able to concentrate on making the story scary as fock!

Make me crap myself id, make me crap myself!

:wtf:

Didn't think I'd hear myself saying that again. :p

id didn't make HL, so you'll probably be getting both at some point - which can only be a good thing, right?

no it doesnt, they just need low light, the same monsters we had 15 years ago, and slightly better graphics and you have Doom 4.
