any new news on doom 4?
 
hi,i've been hearing some news about doom 4.
like,it's being made on a new ID tech engine.(ID tech 4 i believe.)
since PC processors and GPU's are stronger (or atleast can be,)the game will look more graphically impressive.it will also be ported home consoles.but will have worse graphics.and it is scheduled to come out next year i believe.

that's all the new i know of.is there anything i'm missing?

No idea, but this is in the wrong section. So there's that.

i don't see how...it is off-topic,meaning it's not oddworld discussion.
besides everybody else posts their off-topics here...

Well, we do have a sub-section here called 'Non Oddworld Gaming'.

Daxter King 10-15-2011 07:42 PM

id Tech 5, and no one knows any real info about it. Probably see some stuff soon though, since Rage is out they can focus their stuff on Doom 4.

Strike Witch 10-15-2011 09:05 PM

I imagine it will be slightly brighter.

Nate 10-15-2011 10:27 PM

From what I've heard, Rage is pretty much Doom 4.

Phylum 10-15-2011 11:33 PM

What?

Sekto Springs 10-16-2011 12:05 AM

Rage is nothing like Doom, but that's definitely where all their time and planning of the last decade has gone.

I love Id, but they fail hardcore at PR. Unless Rage is a big success, I don't think we'll be seeing much more of Id. Doom and Quake were groundbreaking for their time. The consensus on Rage so far is that it's anything but groundbreaking. So yeah. Best of luck to them.

iD will be fine, Zenimax is funding them, so they aren't going anywhere anytime soon. If they were still independent you might be right, but they aren't. I have a feeling Rage sales will be adequate, but nothing spectacular, just like Rage itself.

Your info that was half false and half something Gamestop.com could've guessed?

Sekto Springs 10-16-2011 01:19 PM

I indirectly work for Id, so I could probably just ask. :p

Daxter King 10-16-2011 01:21 PM

Ooh please do. I probably enjoy predicting and looking over game sales and figures than actually playing games themselves these days. That is, if you were speaking of asking about Rage sales figures.

And would they tell you without making you sign an NDA?

Seriously, even if there was a chance id was in money troubles it's not like half the industry wouldn't just leap to their aid anyway. I don't think there's a single game company out there that hasn't benefited from them, indirectly or not.

Strike Witch 10-17-2011 09:13 PM

Rage is Doom if you replaced all the monsters with humans, set it in a very dry and boring post-apocalyptic place, and had even less of a plot.

StrangerEastwood 10-20-2011 06:48 PM

Rage is better than Doom 3 at least. Atmospheric as hell, (HA) but lacking in the gameplay.

Dynamithix 10-20-2011 09:14 PM

Doom 3 was awesome and from what I've heard, Rage is pretty damn mediocre.

Wings of Fire 10-20-2011 09:19 PM

Doom 3 was not awesome.

Quake 3 however was the best FPS I've played in my life.

Maybe.

It left about the same sort of impression that Unreal Tournament and Timesplitters Future Perfect did.

StrangerEastwood 10-20-2011 09:26 PM

I love all of id's games...including Keen, Hovertank and Catacombs. I just hope Doom 4 changes the formula up a bit.

Crashpunk 10-24-2011 04:46 PM

Doom 3 was pretty good I thought. Never played Quake 3 though...

Wings of Fire 10-24-2011 04:48 PM

Play Quake Live now then, I've heard it's essentially the same game.

Sekto Springs 10-24-2011 04:50 PM

Quake Live is the same game as Quake 3.
All of you join, so I can fucking murder you.

Hobo knows what I'm talking about.

Phylum 10-25-2011 01:32 AM

Buy Quake 3 and play CPMA online. That's always fun.

I lost a game the other day 48 - 0.

MeechMunchie 10-25-2011 03:16 AM

Quake Live was, like, the first thing I posted in the Free-to-Play thread.

Crashpunk 10-25-2011 03:20 AM

yeah,doom 3 was pretty damn awesome...i have the x-box (original) version...

Crashpunk 11-09-2011 02:22 PM

I played it on PC a while ago, I got freaked out by it in parts.

mr.abe 11-12-2011 03:38 PM

yeah.
 
it is damn scary.
Like in the part where you're traveling through one of the halls and you see bloody footprints so you decide to follow them.after that you hear a woman's voice say "they took my baby".
