It doesnt seem to try to be scary and thats nice since Doom was never supposed to be scary. Other then that...

I hate to be that guy, but it's "id" or "ID." The internet one day all decided to start calling them "iD," but they have never actually stylized it that way.

...the more you know.

I don't know why they are so obsessed with turning Doom into some sort of storydriven horror game, just hire Slayer, Exodus, Morbid Angel and Kreator and make a kick ass action game where you dodge projectiles and kill badass demons while traversing hell, that would be soo much cooler than this boring crap. Sigh, it's tough to be a fan of all the Doom games before Doom 3 ruined the series.

Now that that's out of the way, i hope i'm wrong in every possible way and that this new Doom is pure gameplay driven action with a kick ass soundtrack and tons of enemies that needs to be slain. It needs to be the opposite of Doom 3.

Based on Wolfenstein, I am quietly optimistic for this.

Although, I want to find the exec who decided not to call it DOOM 4 and personally feed him/her to a Cacodemon. For clarity's sake this is surely going to get a subtitle or number, or else beforever doomed to be known as Besthesda Doom, BDoom or Not Doom, since Doom is well, Doom.

I just hope they remember to keep the minimal story, maximum violence them going, Doom 3 was fine, but it would have been better with less story and MOAR SHOOTING!

While I support this idea 100%, I don't think that that kind of game would move the number of copies Zenimax is looking for to justify their $100+ million investment in the company. According to id, Doom 3 was their most successful game ever. They're going to try to recapture that success, rather than stick with what made the series great in the first place.

I'm not really sure who's to blame for the company's awful shift over the last decade, but I have a hunch it's Tim Willits. Everything seemed to be fine before he took over the design team, and he considers his one true hit -- Quake 3 -- to be his biggest failure.

It's not going to be done by the same team as The Elder Scrolls - it's going to be done by the original developers (ID Software) whose games are published by Bethesda Softworks and who released Wolfenstein: The New Order earlier this year. In fact, getting a Beta invite for this DOOM reboot's multiplayer was a preorder bonus for Wolfenstein [http://www.wolfenstein.com/en-gb/doom]so this reveal is a lot less surprising than the article suggests.
ID didn't make Wolfenstien New Order, Machine Games did.

I think the problem is that ID Software lost all the people that made it great. John Romero and American Mcgee aren't particularily good when they work on their own, but together with Carmack they worked wonders in those early years. Now ID Software only have a flair for tech, Rage and Doom 3 were horribly designed games, but they had some impressive new tech to show off. Unfortunately good tech doesn't equal good games.

Yeah, and I'd feel a lot better about the new Doom game if they were making that as well. At least we could be sure it will be a solid, fun shooter. Rage was not a game that inspired confidence.

It's Doom, no need for story, you put some random marine, that we will call Doomguy, in a room, give him a pistol, some zombie marine with their back turned to him, with a door ahead of them and here we go, you got the perfect Doom start.

That didn't look like Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at all. I am disappoint.

Also, it should be "Doom 4," not "Doom." Stupid publishers don't know how to count. tsk tsk

That was probably done by people who are too accustomed to the iDevice naming scheme.

OP: Considering the last release of Doom, as essentially Doom 3: The Apology Edition, I'm willing to accept anything new with Doom these days.

They could probably even add a totally unnecessary story to it that ends up being actually rather interesting and not conflicting with the gameplay at all.

*Looks at box of Wolfenstein: The New Order which advertises beta access to DOOM* I... I don't think this is really news... that said, I'm interested.

If it'll let me speed through levels at 40mph while carrying 10 guns at once and wildly firing from the hip at hordes of demonspawn while soaking up enough firepower to level a small city, then I'm in. If not, then it isn't really Doom, all modern advances in FPS be damned.

The main question we have to ask is: is the world ready for a new/reboot of DOOM? I'm going to go with yes, yes it is

As long as it is a throw back to the first doom game and not like the fps that we have now
