Doom 4?

[killer9]

Do you think id would make a Doom 4 if Doom 3 sold a lot better than expected? Oh yeah, and ignore my last thread about chasecam demos.

[Sporku]

Well considering iD hasn't done an original game since Quake.. probably.

And by original game I mean the series. I can see in the next ten years iD releasing Quake 4-19, Doom 4-25, and possibly Return Once Again to Castle Wolfenstein.

[Dittohead]

Actually kids, iD's next project is going to be a new one.

Sorry, no Doom 4 for atleast a couple years.

[killer9]

What's id's next project after Doom 3?

[Tetzlaff]

If Doom4 will be to Doom3 what Doom2 was to Doom, a sequel build on the same engine, then it isn´t unlikely.

[NiGHTMARE]

However, the rest of the team will need something to do while JC works on the engine for their next game. I'd say we can expect an expansion pack at the very least.

John Carmack said in an interview in PCgamer that Doom 3 is a retelling of the original doom. Does that mean Udoom, or both Doom and Doom 2?

Ultimate Doom. Both included is VERY unlikely as it would take just too long to make enough levels to fit the bill.

And Id's next game is unrevealed thus far, though Id have said, quite simply, that their next game will not be a known Id franchise (Wolfenstein, Quake or Doom), but something altogether new.

As for a "Doom 4", I actually prefer that they retell Doom 2 in one or two mission packs - same engine, new maps, new textures (oh yeah!), new enemies and perhaps even new weapons. Not to mention new ways to use the physics, the scripted events and a new storyline to add to the 'original' Doom 3 storyline.

Oh yeah, that'd rock.

[killer9]

That's what I was hoping.

[killer9]

Oh yeah, and dsm, I read your Doom storyline that you wrote. That was kickass. You should make a prequel, one about what happened at phobos.

Id games have a habit of spawning mission packs and they're usually pretty good too, so I believe this is the most likely scenario after Doom 3's release.

An expansion pack is inevitable. But remember we've still got Quake 4 to look forward to...

[S1lent]

I think Doom 4 would be a new story, if not a remake of Doom 2....

But, I'm more concerned with Doom 3. I'll be worried about Doom 4 when I know it might actually happened until then. It's a fantasy.

Sadly, I've never played any of the quake games.

Except the fact the game includes Doom 2 enemies. :/ I think it's going to be a mix of all of.

Neither have I. I don't even know the story of Quake, but i will still buy the game when it's released.

[Reichsadler]

I do not think that there will be a DooM IV in the near future.

We should look forward to DooM3, at first. ;)

[Janderson]

If they make a Doom4 it will be a retelling of Doom3!

Oh remaking Doom 1, but adding the Doom 2 enemies is perfectly 'ligit'. The story isn't any more "Doom 2" just because it has the enemies.

One could easily do a classic Doom retelling of Doom 1 but with all of Doom 2's enemies and the db shotgun included.

Having Doom 2 fit into Doom 3 along with the "Doom 1" setting is unlikely because it'd require too many levels for a single game or they'd have to considerably water down the parts so that the player rushes through Mars, Hell, Earth and then ends up in Hell again.
It'll leave the game one big confusing pile of shit with bad transitions.

They've got plans for making a demo for Doom 3 after the game's release last I heard.

[Sephiroth]

i can see them doing doom 4 at a later date. however if say doom III where to bomb or Id fell apart. also Id did not make RTCW, they did however help with it, and made the engine

[Naitguolf]

the enemy was named Quake, not the guy.

Oh well...

[Chris Hansen]

Err, not exactly. You're a little right, but also wrong. Here's why (found this on planetquake.com):

..."An enemy codenamed Quake, is using his own slipgates to insert death squads inside our bases to kill, steal, and kidnap..."

[Janderson]

Is that why God sends us aliens?

Also, Quake is definitely referred to as a "he" later on during scrolling text sequences, though that might be in the mission packs.

[S1lent]

I really don't think DOOM 3 will have an expansion pack. I think it will just have downloadable addons and stuff. Maybe some Multi-Player downloads and stuff. I think Doom 3 will be divided into chapters (like the original was) and they'll just keep releasing downloadable chapters.

[Alientank]

Doom 4 would be lame. Don't ruin a good thing. 3 is enough.

[S1lent]

How do you know it would be lame? They haven't even finished Doom 3.
