Doom 4 Announced
by Nick Breckon May 07, 2008 11:34am CST tags: Doom 4, id Software id Software today announced that it has begun production on Doom 4, and is now in the process of expanding its internal team of developers to work on the shooter sequel. "Doom is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next installment of our flagship franchise to Earth," said id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead in a release. "It's critical for id Software to have the best creative minds in- house to develop games that meet the standards synonymous with our titles." The company is currently accepting applications to fill job openings covering roles such as producer, lead designer, and lead animator, among others. The job listings page indicates that applicable platforms for the positions are PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Though no further details on the game were released, the studio will likely make use of its new id Tech 5 engine for the project. id Software lead artist Kevin Cloud recently told Shacknews that one of... http://www.shacknews.com/laryn.x?story=52560 id Software lead artist Kevin Cloud recently told Shacknews that one of the strengths of the company's new engine is its cross-platform performance. "You don't even have to worry about how it's going to look on PS3 or 360. Right now we've got it running cross-platform running 60 hertz, and it looks really good," said Cloud. "In terms of what artists are available to achieve--it's something you have to see for yourself. I can say this, but you still won't get it until you see it." id will be hosting the 13th annual QuakeCon convention on July 31. |

Wow....anyone remember back in the days when we were
running what were still called "IBM PC compatibles" by firelight, programming in ones and zeroes on clay tablets, and "Doom" was a piece of shareware that everyone thought was just AMAZING? Bob M. |

DOOM 4 Announced
(Story for Doom4 below )
Maybe they should do a Commander Keen in 3D. LOL. Just kidding LOL. First finish Doom 4... then maybe do Keen 3D for fun lol. Like Battlefield Heroe's or so Announcement is on the id software website too. I wonder what does this mean for their "rave" game ? Is it still "on" or is it "dropped" ? Anyway let's get serious for Doom 4: I expect nothing less than: 1. Awesome/mindblowing sound quality. Creative labs should help out a bit. 2. Awesome/graphics. I am sure they ll manage to cook something up LOL. 3. Awesome/animations. Check. 4. Awesome special effect ? Hmmmmm. 5. Nice story ? Hmmmm. I hope they continue where doom 3 left off... with the marine being transported back via spaceship, and then ofcourse something goes horribly wrong and he ends up fighting his way through space Maybe he ends up fighting in all kinds of spaceships which have been infected by the hell creatures ? Some spaceships have teleporters to teleport from one ship to the other. Some spaceships don't and he'll have to find other ways of getting there... maybe jumping through space in a spacesuit from ship to ship. Then he finds out it was all planned by betruger... trying to smuggle creatures back to earth to infect earth as well. The marine much stop them before the spaceships reach earth ! Meanwhile betruger is cooking up one of his new evil plans and devices... maybe virus.. to infect earth.. or maybe special creatures with special powers and special weapons. Yeah betruger or whatever has learned from his mistakes in the passed. His creatures were not powerfull enough to face even a single marine This time betruger has special aliens... which fire everything you could possibly think of... betruger goes big this time... he wants all bases covered. Creatures which shoot ice... Sub-zero creatures... if you touch them you die... maybe they even half transparent because of all the ice in them. Fire creatures... fire fire at you... you burn... you scream LOL... but then fire goes out again... not powerfull enough lol... Smoke creatures... which lay down layers of smoke... so you can't see ****... and then they COME AT YOUUUUUUUUUUU from the MYST. Sometimes screaming... sometimes not. Sometimes sneaking up onto you from behind... and then they will breath down your neck and grab you in the neck and bite you in the neck... and you ll be scared ****less. Jumping out of seat from suprises like that. Void creatures... which have the stars of space embedded in them... The mere fabric of space has been interwoven with the creatures.... and now the creatures can shoot blackholes at you... you will fall down into portals ? Slime creatures... which will spue green slime everywhere... so you get stuck... and can't move that fast... you can't run away anymore... you will have to fight with your guns mostly. just pray pray pray pray that you have enough ammo during sticky situations And ofcourse the spider creatures... except this time... webs everywhere... which get into your face... and stick real bad too... You ll have to struggle through the fricking spider webs... But you'll have your thrusty flame thrower... to burn away the mess. And tourch some niiccceeeeeeee screaming burning spiders too Little creatures in the webs... baby spiders... tiny but hundreds of them... Little yellow buggers... crawling everywhere... they mostly harmless... but they are still there... if you dont kill them... they will come back later on.... hundreds of them... they ll have growed... they are mutated... they have a growth rate... a hellish growth rate... they grow faster.... when some other creature is nearby.... the other creature nurses the spiders... so they grow faster... The marine must kill the nursing creature fast... before it can make the little spiders grow. Mean nasty androids... Betruger managed to capture some robots... some fighting robots which were on the spaceships. He modified them... they got nasty... now your fighting humanities own robots... Like the little crawling robot with the funny sounds... he now a little bit bigger... bad-der... and black thing over him... with mean red eyes and he shoots mean red plasma fire/bullits at you... which wistle passed or into your head... if you dont step aside One of the spaceships of the marines... managed to capture aliens from some other planet... it too was in the convoy.... Betruger naturally and ofcourse was very intrigued... by the capturement and containment of these aliens from another world/planet... he immediatly so the potential to infect these aliens and to mutate them into even more powerfull dangerous aliens. These could be the classic gray alien ... but then even meaner... and more bad and ofcourse little bit black to... maybe even dark greenish. And the alien from aliens... even more hunger for flesh... his transparent watery slime... leaves long trails on the floor... he's so hungry... he drewling all over the place. These creatures are rest less... the most have flesh... and they will have it now ! They will search the ships for flesh... and they will eat anything they find. The marine could run into these creatures at any given time... and then it's up to him what to do.... run away ? hide ? fight ? lurk ? woeh... exciting. Finally earth could send additional space ships... maybe even a space ship war... blasting holes into the existing spaceships... creating total destruction... nice levels to play in... Then the marine plus the new reinforcements could fight together.... and kick ass all over the ships. Some die here and there... some have to go elsewhere... some survive... and fight on... finally the marine finds betruger... in his latest form... some magnificant spacecreature... with tenticles... throwing things at the marine... trying to bite him too.. with his long mouth... But the marine has a little trick up his sleeve... he has a nice granade launcher... and launches some deadly granades inside the creature's mouth... and booooom... splatter the creatures explodes into pieces. Then suddenly a poisnous gas is released... which cannot be escaped... and the marine dies.... but he goes to heaven... and there he meets god... and god says to him... no marine ! you are to young to die ! you must go back and destroy the evil ! Then the marine wakes up again... what was that ? Was it a dream ? was it real ? Who knows ? The marine is confused... and a little dazzy... something saved him from death... but he doesn't know what... he has a special cap on his mouth that allows him to breath through the poisnous gas... how did he get that mouth piece ? Now he fights on... cleaning up those creatures that still existed... but he wonders... Finally the marine learns that there are other good creatures in space... very powerfull creatures... they are observing earth from across the universe.... they see all... they known all... they decided to interfene for the good of earth... they do not want to see it destroyed... that was what the marine saw in his vision. A vision of greatness across the galaxy. End of story Bye, Skybuck. |
