id Software boss Todd Hollenshead has said that the developer will be able to talk about Doom 4 in more detail at QuakeCon 2010, which should take place next August.
"When we show it to you you're gonna love it," he told the audience at the firm's QuakeCon keynote in Dallas overnight (thanks vg247).
Doom 4 was first announced over a year ago when id started seeking people to begin work on it, which should give you an idea of its current state.
Earlier this year Hollenshead denied it would be a sequel, but said it wasn't a reboot either.
Elsewhere, id's John Carmack has told Eurogamer that Doom 4 will be "three times" the visual quality of Rage thanks to its 30fps frame-rate (Rage runs at 60), and that it may "leverage some of the Quake Live infrastructure" for multiplayer.

Really? I'm glad to hear it's nothing like Doom 3, then. |

I still remember when Doom 3 first demoed the graphic engine along with the leaked version of it which OFC i downloaded and was SO amazed by it since i had also just built a new PC back then. I dont know why ppl keep trushing Doom 3 at all. Wasn't a great game but it was more than good looking when it FIRST came out on the pc and also was not bad as an FPS of the kind.
Really looking forward to see how the next one looks like and they better let something leak to tease us with once again :p |

The atmosphere of Doom 3 was very well done, I thought, but on the harder difficulty setting it went too far in the "monster cupboard" direction. The normal setting had just enough threats to make the world dangerous, without falling into the trap of always popping monsters behind you. One of the problems Doom 3 had was that it appeared, by name, to be a sequel to Doom 2, which can best be described as a fairly standard manic shoot-'em-up. Doom 3 is a sci-fi-horror story.

doom 3 was awesome (if a little boring near the ending) whooo!
Hope they will make another quake wars as well. It's just awesome. Maybe the next wolf has something that comes near it. |

30 FPS = HI FIDELITY CHOPSVILLE. Hope the dev team listened to the critisism of the Doom 3 and have gone back to the original conccept of Doom. Overwhelming numbers of demons, fast twitch reflex gaming and good (at the time) multiplayer experience. I would rather see a smooth framerate rather than high fidelity monsters running choppily at max resolution etc. |

I dont think anyone will say hand on heart that Doom 3 was poor looking, at the time it was truely breath taking and even now its quite good. But as we all say its not the graphics that make a game. As for doom 4, yes looking forward but no more than any half decent game as we know nothing about it and its years away so no point really thinking about it.
