Id Software has announced today that production has begun on DOOM 4, and the developer is "expanding its internal team" to work on the next instalment of the spooky shooter.
"DOOM is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next instalment of our flagship franchise to Earth," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software.
"It's critical for id Software to have the best creative minds in-house to develop games that meet the standards synonymous with our titles."
According to the official blurb, id is looking for "talented, ambitious and passionate individuals" to join the team working on the game. We're assuming development it isn't that far along then.
That's Rage and Doom 4 (plus Quake Zero and mobile games) in development at the tiny developer. Assuming it's using the Rage tech, we should expect it on PS3, 360 and PC simultaneously.
Well I for one am happy to see DOOM4. DOOM 3 had a lot of critics and was not the roller coaster, run and gun ride that the originals were, but I loved it. It still scares the crap out of me now. They really need to vary the environments a bit with the new game. Maybe set it on earth like DOOM 2 was supposed to be. Now that would be excellent!!!
blap blap been waiting in my crib for this shizzle to be confirmed. i knew they would my homys come good, doom 4 hell on earth pull out the colt 45 and blap blap in your face blad please stop babbling befor you disapear like madaline. when i saw this news i pulled out my massive black gangsta c**k and started sliding my hands up and down on it and lubeing it up with my spit and green flem. i then snorted 3 lines of coak each 2 foot long, went outside and s**t on my neighbours disabled nan, pulled out me gat and popped a few kids in the park then come back to me crib ate 6 burgers whilest watching sky sports news completely naked with a semi on. im now waiting for EL CLASICO to start so i can have another wank but this time with my wite socks on and why my crew are in the same room. after the game wel all jack up on heroin spend all of tomorrow off our heads, then on friday collect our original gangsta benifits, and do all this again.

reading between the lines perhaps this is a Doom 2 Hell On Earth remake. the text says "...to bring the next installmemnt to Earth"..so perhaps its 'Doom in the City'.
Interesting for me that this news should pop up now.
I just recently dusted off my old copy of Doom 3 to give it another go after giving up on it originally (a combination crap PC and frustration with certain aspects of it).

Nah - "Doom & The City".
You get to shoot Sarah Jessica Parker in the face with a shotgun.
This is quite good news, I was just saying the other day that id have been very quiet recently. Hopefully the locations will be nicer and more detailed than d3 (with more texture variation on the characters).If it's on Earth hopefully the maps will be a bit more open, ie not another corridor shooter. And hopefully it will be scarier than d3 (cause I wasn't scared at all).

Bring it to EARTH! So it must be a remake of Doom 2, just like Doom 3 was a remake of Doom 1.
Its funny though cos they said there would be no Doom 4, but I dont really care cos id love to see it, a few points though. THe first is that ive lost respect for this company since that abomination came out called the Doom Movie. Second of all, this game better not be like Doom 3 or I wont touch it, dont get me wrong, Doom 3 was a great game, but it could have been a lot better, it was too slow and not enough enemies. Who remembers the catacombes level on Doom 2? posibly my favourite level in any game ever, there are just hundreds of monsters on that level, I really hope it is like Doom 2, with toned down graphis but s**t loads of enemies, otherwise I wont get it, games just arent as good as they used to be.

Alright Alright I'll admit it I saw that the story had just been posted and wanted to get the first comment in (which I didn't(b******s)) as a result I may have neglected to read the entire article... Smart bottom!!! lol
Doom3 was a total disappointment for me, it had a really good atmosphere but i didnt like the way it played at all, hopefully Doom4 will be more to my taste.

Looks like someone's been influenced by playing the nasty and evil GTA 4 to act out it's sick content (at least what any Daily Mail reader would have you believe).
Doom III was a joke, only slightly surpassed by the joke of the media treatment it received. Almost straight 9/10s for everyone? What game were they playing?

Doom 3. Pardon people from having different tastes to you, oh lord and master of what is good.

ARR i hate you! think about it .... who cares how many there are you dont have to buy them an also the more FPS there are , then the more likley there will be great ones !! so shut the f**k up !? ( btw, are you allowed to sware on this ?? )
I stopped playing after I got turned into a strog, it just wasn't as fun.
each to their own... i didnt mind playing through a couple of mediocre vehicle sections in Quake4 as the rest of the game was good old-school FPS blasting action with tons of weapons and monsters.

Well, yes of course that's my opinion. I could preface everything I write with 'In my opinion' but I hate doing that, it seems so terribly unecessary. The media treatment is less of an opinion though, I still fail to believe that such a contentious game was so universally praised by such a majority of critics (even some who later seemed to hate it).
I really want Doom 4 to go back to the way doom was. With corridors littered wall to wall with zombies and blood, brightly lit, action, fast pased, not slow paced scares, ohh, and funny cacodemons, the cacodemons in Doom 1 and 2 had me in stitches, but NOTHING was funny about the cacodemons in Doom 3. Oh yea, and bring back the arch vile, the spidermastermind and the baron of hell.

What's the point? You might as well go and play the original. The only real problem with Doom 3 was that it failed to bring anything new to the plate. It's also exactly what was wrong with Crysis, it was just Far Cry with better graphics and the ability to chuck stuff at people.
It's nice to see continuity between the Doom games, but you also need something new otherwise the games just become stilted.
id invented the FPS genre, and they're also the best candidate to re-invent it.
Kudos to Acheron, there were First Person games before id came along, Phantom Slayer for one. Nevertheless, id have always been at the forefront of it's evolution, that is, until Doom 3, which while being a very good game, didn't bring the radically different feeling to the FPS that Half Life 2 and Far Cry did in the same year. Point being, I'd rather see something new from id than a prettier repeat.
The thing I liked about Doom 3 (after being hooked on the originals for most of the 1990s) was it's complete lack of pretentiousness. It was never trying to be anything new or original - just a good old run around and shoot everything that moves FPS. If you like that sort of thing then great. If you don't, fair enough. But I loved the atmosphere in it,(something I've felt the Quake series often lacked). It's one major let-down was, as others have mentioned, the repetition of the environments and textures. So if they can sort that out in Doom 4, then I can't wait for it.

They are the ones making it, not me, if they are going to make it, at least do it properly, and FYI, I DO go a play the original, a hell of a lot more than any FPS game out there today, because its 100x more fun, so if they want to bring out Doom 4 which is a re-telling of Doom 2, do it properly and keep the essence of what made it such a great game.

I had never even heard of Phantom Slayer before, but if thats what he was talking about, why didnt he just say it? rather than being a k**b?
Also id like to see something new too, but if they do a good update of Doom 2 that would be great too, but we all know they wont, FPS games just arent much good these days.
Sarcasm... oh noes... however will you get on in life?
I don't think it would be constructive of me to search through every post you've made and label the sarcastic remarks. I felt my comments might spark a degree of curiousity in other forumites. If this wasn't the case with you then I am so, so sorry. I'll do better to consider your feelings next time, and try to conform to your hypocritical standards of thread contribution.
if they go the SOF2 route and make an enhanced engine of Doom 3 it will be good, if they make a completely new engine.. even better.
But as much as i love new high performance hardware, lets hope the specs arent quite as high as Doom3 was when it first came out, the FPS still dropped a fair bit even with a 6800 ultra when the game came out.
This time maybe it will be better, not as bad as that rubbish i call crysis though!
