Thats such an out of the blue announcement.
(they announced it today)
as much as i Like Doom.
I have to ask...
Why?
Doom 3 did ok. but not nearly as well as anybody had hoped it would.
sure it set standards.
but those standards were met and then soon out matched fairly quickly.
and aside from setting the mark, it really didn't do much else.
honestly, compared to the feel and pace of doom1&2 doom3 put a giant question mark over peoples head. it was good, sure. but did it really follow suit?
the monsters had all been redesigned and lots of things were familiar...
but was it a Doom game, or was it more of an homage to a doom game?
I just dont think doom4 is a good idea.
hopefully they prove me wrong in the future.
but I dont think its a good idea to continue from what doom3 was.
and better idea might be to try the 'idea' doom3 over again and just call it doom4 for the sake of naming.
but even that doesn't sounds too appealing.
Im sure the game will set more graphical and technical standards.
but I look at doom3 as proof that doing that is just not enough.
