Update: Bethesda says Doom 4 is not canceled

Doom.....or Rage?

Guess it looks too much like Rage.

[McKay]

Oh wow, any word on the rough storyline, other than "Hell opens on Earth"?

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.

For a new unreleased game it looks rather dated.

[MillionVoltss]

Doom 3 was dull anyway. Great as a tech demo though.

[c3ntury]

I wonder if Fallout 4 will resemble this at all..

[Crisp]

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?

When I look at these, I realize that astonishing graphics don?t impress me anymore.

[Panda X]

That third to last shot's sky looks almost exactly like the sky in HL2:EP1.

[micro]

not impressed.

[Amarok]

Hoping if those screenshots were real (doubtful?) that they're on the lowest possible settings. Heh.

[Jamushroom Veteran]

Kotaku said that it wasn't cancelled though?

[PyX]

Hoping if those screenshots were real (doubtful?) that they're on the lowest possible settings. Heh.

Huh ? I thought these were nice graphics ? It?s just that I?m not impressed by this criteria anymore. However, I get disappointed if they?re bad.

Comic Sans on the wall in the third image. I am disappoint. The screenshots look pretty good though, I'm excited for it.

[Lovell]

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.

[ArialBlue]

ID should make Quake III with modern graphics IMO.

Going COD route is being a tool.

[HawkMan]

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.

[Osiris]

I was never a massive fan of the series but I liked D3 and would probably play this. Interested in the story from D3 to this though, hell of earth by the looks of it.

[Minifig]

It is NOT canceled.

[REM2000]

they might be following the original series path, doom2 was doom2 hell on earth and there were a few levels on set on earth.

Although i agree this looked more like screen shots from fallout/rage

[Tech085]

I hope they make a Mac Version like they did for Doom 3

[nytiger73]

These are probably early alpha drawings and what not. It couldn't possibly look any worse than Rage did on PC. Which looked like utter garbage IMHO.
