DOOM 4 Announced!

[Flippy the Squirrel]

If you've seen anything of the engine used for Rage, I can't help but think that DOOM 4 could totally kick ass.

I loved DOOM3 and this just really makes me excited. DOOM3 had probably the best atmosphere and feel of any game I've ever played. Playing it at 3 am with headphones on and all the lights off was incredible. Any game that makes me physically turn around and look behind me for sources of creepy noises is a winner in my book.

Eh.

Doom 3 was mediocre at best. Atmosphere and graphics can't make up for dull and repetitive gameplay.

I didnt like doom3 that much!!! doom2 was the best!!!

DOOM 3 was all about atmosphere. The original DOOM was repetitive because that was all they had, and paying homage to that was, I think, an important design element. That having been said, I hope DOOM 4 breaks that tradition and does some new and innovative stuff.

I'd agree with Lafinass. It wasn't scary just irritating having enemies jump at you from the dark. and dissapointed me when the cyberdemon wasn't faithful to the original.
But So long as they don't have it in off pitch black narrow corridors..
..or at the least allow us to have a flashlight with the weapon, or duck tape , ill be happy.
id Tech 5 does look very impressive however.

Doom 2 was only good for mods. The single player level design was absolutely horrible. One can make a maze, fill it with monsters, and still make it fun. Doom 2 somehow just made it infuriating and confusing. The original Doom game is still the best.

I liked Doom 3's universe, and I did like some of it's level design, kept me interested though I can agree with many people that fighting monsters wasn't as fun as it could have been. (Especially exquisitely designed monsters, save for some dull ones like the Imp. The PinkyDaemon still ranks as my favourite sci-fi horror monster of all time next to the predator.) The whole PDA system could have worked (See System Shock 2) but in Doom 3 it was ridiculous.

I'm mixed about Doom 4. I'm excited, but at the same time I'm worried. I doubt Grey Matter could do any better than ID could, especially considering that, save for the multiplayer, RtCW was just awful. (Last I heard, Doom 4 was being developed by Grey Matter. Or is it inhouse now?)

I haven't played any Doom since Doom 2. I think I'll probably skip this one. I want CoD4 eventually first.

Agreed, and they really beat the scare tactics to death. Something popping up behind you can only be scary for so long until you begin to expect it.

I remember more things popping up in front of you than from behind (But that's not really defending the scare tactics.... cause, well, I can't defend them. they sucked.)
