Id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead has said that Doom 4 is "not a sequel to Doom 3, but it's not a reboot either".
"Doom 3 was sort of a reboot," Hollenshead told GameSpot.
"It's a little bit different than those, and if I told you why, I would get my ass kicked when I got back. So I'll just have to leave it at that."
Despite the early stages though - id "really just started on that last year" and is still hiring - Hollenshead is confident that Doom fans will be excited by the direction.
"It's very much deep in development. But everything I've seen on it is classic Doom, so I don't really have worries that people aren't going to like it and start talking about it," he said.
In the meantime, Hollenshead said to expect another Wolfenstein showing at E3, and "I expect that we'll have some new stuff at E3 that we haven't announced yet."
Id is also currently working on Rage and Quake Live. Rage will not be out this year, Hollenshead said, but the technology is now complete.

As long as it is more like the first two Doom games I'm happy. Doom 3 was too different for me, I enjoyed the classic ones a lot more.

Well, if it's not a reboot or a sequel to Doom 3, does that mean we can assume it's an FPS that harkens back to the olden days of Doom 1 and 2-style?

Why am I thinking third person GoW/Doom hybrid? Actually that would be pretty cool.

Yea, if they can recapture Doom II's atmosphere in every way and bring it up to date I don't care what you call it. 4 player coop, lots of monsters and every boss has to die with bullets (no matter how many it takes) - that's what they should be aiming for. I can't believe they dropped the ball in Doom 3 on the boss part and coop as well.

Give monster gameplay. I want to play as a cacodemon and eat marine children. Marines don't have children, they pop out of the earth fully grown, like (Tolkien's) orcs! I'm betting it's more arcade-y than D3, more like the first 2s "for the love of God, don't pick up the shotgun ammo floating in the middle of the otherwise featureless (but quite large) room!" than survival horror-ish. Either that or a regenerating health, third-person, cover-system style GoW knock-off. |

I loved Doom 3, can't wait to see demons running riot on a futuristic earth.
