John CarmackThere will be a Doom 4, we don’t have it scheduled or a team assigned to it, but there will be a Doom 4. There’s going to be a Quake Arena sequel. There’s a Wolfenstein thing in production. We’re following along with all those. This game doesn’t have to be Doom. It’s going to be something different.

Jess Stingray

Yes! My life has a purpose!

HellasVagabond

Hmm internode also had the trailer....Anyways the face is perhaps the best detailed face i have seen in a game.....

Jess Stingray

It's guys like id who like, own the game industry. I wanna make my own game. But I don't know how.

Amen to that!

It'll also be software libre in 6 or so years (after it's released) :)

DippyskoodlezYES!!!!

The game is called Castle Wolfenstein, and is coming to the PS3, 360, and of course...the PC. The game is developed by raven software, the guys who made RTCW.

I thought raven had a part in ET.

EDIT: You're right, it was Activision and Splash.

Bring back the splash!!! :laugh:

Doom 3 was such a disappointment and hit the bargain bins within weeks of launch. I guess ID realised that, to make something of a commercial success, they needed to build a new franchise, because they'd already "spent" their DOOM credits with the amazing for the first 10 minutes, but after that, the same old, tunnel-bumpmap-predictably-jump out-of-a-darkcorner monster nonsense.

ID revolutionised 3D gaming in the 90's. I hope they can do something again in the 00's. DOOM3 was no paradigm shift, but a let down. WE ALL REMEMBER HL2 over D3.

I loved doom 3. :)

And still do. Theres not a single game out that even approaches what they did with the "real" environment.

I hate half life 2 though. seemed like a piss poor attempt at a FPS zelda. :wtf:

Push crate up hill.
push crate off hill.
lift ramp.
drive boat over ramp.
rinse, lather, and repeat.
