Doom.....or Rage?

Guess it looks too much like Rage.

My thoughts exactly, These look like they are from a build of Rage, and definitely do not have a Doom feel to them.

I mean I know it is going to be the same engine, but it just does not really feel like Doom to me at all.

Them images look nothing like a Doom game. They did announce awhile back that they were taking the franchise to a different story, although I love the idea of fighting demons and other weird looking creatures on Mars from Doom 3. Doom 3 was a scary game and if Doom 4 isn't I wont be buying it.

Personally I think ID should just wait for the next gen consoles.

Isn't the McDonald'ss logo copyrighted?

Idsoft just put it on hold until they could get Rage out the door.

They canceled it after they saw how bad Rage did, I feel bad for ID they used to make great games but Call of Duty has pushed the FPS limit so far forward what IDs making now is no longer all that impressive and looks rather dated.

They haven't made good games since doom. And even that wasn't that good. It was imply violent and the first decent fps. It just didn't have much, any, competition.

Here's a tweet from iD Software's Mathew Hooper:

oh I see. Those images have nothing to do with what you're gonna see in Doom4. When we officially show things you'll see awesome

The screenshots don't look too bad but they're not impressive either. It looks like a showcase of early Doom 4 assets in id tech 5. My expectations for the game dropped when I played Rage for the first time. The texture and performance issues were almost inexcusable. I really hope they improve the engine for Doom 4.

So we know Doom 4 isn't cancelled. Good. I really enjoyed Doom 3 and Ressurection of Evil. But they are very linear.

I kinda hope with Doom 4 they add more NPC interaction and sort of get off the linear, corridor shooter and take a dip into some more open area environments. I know Mars is still a toxic wasteland in Doom 3, but I'm sure there's some areas of the UAC buildings are massive.

      Excuse me for having an opinion, fella'... (Why am I not surprised?...) Congrats on your very informative post however...

      By the sounds of that wall of Fox News propaganda gibberish attacking the Democratic Party you've already had plenty of "juices" flowing this morning. You've ruined what could have been a productive comment thread.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      (Topic to get the juices flowing this Sunday morning!...) Actually, the situation has almost nothing to do with "lack of skills", especially since assembly-line skills can be taught to anyone, including Americans, certainly. Rather, the inadequacy-to-impossibility of large-scale tech manufacturing in America today, and the reasons why America finds tech manufacturing completely onerous in the 21st century, has to do with politically driven laws amid a plethora of non-scientific, utterly politicized "science-fact" that is patently false, punitive business taxation at every turn, an array of judicial fines of unimaginable scope and complexity, and, last but not least, American unionization strictures that serve to actually slay job creation and hobble all such manufacturing endeavors in America before they can get off the ground. Globalism emerged, they tell us, as the needed answer to American hubris and an unholy American drive to excel. Unless one is buried under mounds of political propaganda, it's easy to see the absurdity of labeling the employees of SpaceX, for instance, as "unskilled labor"... Etc. ad infinitum. At one time in the recent past, American manufacturing prowess was the envy of the world in a wide variety of technical fields! The current federal and state government roadblocks against America becoming competitive globally in tech manufacturing are considerable, it's true, as anyone with a working brain knows. But remarkably, that is only half the story! The other half of the story is, of course, the corporations themselves... Chinese tech manufacturing is simply unassailable in terms of profits, because the Chinese government wants to see its tech manufacturing second-to-none globally so that no companies/nations can compete in terms of ROI, and China has completely succeeded in that goal. Let's tic-off a few things: *Chinese tariff policies are set according to what is considered best for Chinese business, Chinese employees, and the Chinese people. Huge difference with how things are done with tariffs in the US--as the US government (SCOTUS in this case, Congress in others) plainly feels that tariffs are "unfair" for the limited number of citizens who may pay them, whereas nothing is "unfair" when Congress considers the Personal Income Tax rates to be infinitely hike-able, along with infinitely enlarging annual budget deficits. *The Chinese government boldly subsidizes Chinese companies to artificially amplify their profits. *The Chinese government deliberately refuses to avidly demonize Chinese businesses and does not consider Chinese businesses "the enemy", so very unlike American (D)s these days. *Chinese labor laws and businesses are allowed to set their own labor policies according to what Chinese companies consider is best for companies and their employees... Simply put, American workers in tech manufacturing are not allowed to set their own labor policies! It is the height of hypocrisy for Americans to decry working conditions in China while simultaneously ensuring that American products are manufactured in China, not in the US, simply to maximize profits. There is nothing wrong with making a profit, of course, absolutely nothing. But there is plenty wrong with attempts to normalize hypocrisy of this kind! But rank hypocrisy and the (D) party in the US are longtime bedfellows... The current government in Washington is working overtime to see if it can toss out the horribly poor, failed economic policies of the past, while the (D)s still in Washington work very hard to bring back the stupidity whenever possible. With the right policies in place, America can be an infinitely competitive manufacturer.
