Rage continues to look terrific, and also continues to be id's main focus, at least in terms of where the studio's marketing muscle is at. Following a few brief statements about Doom 4, which pin it as not a direct sequel to Doom 3 but not a series reboot either, Eurogamer has gotten new info.
id's design director Matt Hooper says the team on Doom 4 is going in its "own direction. They're doing something Doom fans will be happy with. We're separated enough to be able to go our own ways, but still connected where we can help facilitate both those directions."
Continuing, Hooper explains that the game "is distinct enough. It would be dangerous ... We don't want to make a re-skinned Doom [with Rage] and then Doom 4 be a re-skinned Rage. That would be bad."
"It's worked out really nicely where we have enough connection to take advantage of things like technology and talent, but enough separation to be able to go in a unique direction."

Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Wait, Steroids? I meant Bezerk.
Id stated some time ago that id Tech5 will be avaliable only to studios which belong to Zenimax Media. So I doubt we'll see something similar to UDK coming from id anytime soon...
Also flashlight in the dark anyone?
DOOM.
ITS RELEVANT FOR THIS EXACT MOMENT.
Also, where's my damned QUAKE 5? I played the shit out of Quake 4's SP.
*Corrections, DOOM and RAGE. All caps.
All I see is pseudo human weapons with stupid names.
That thing, in the screen shot, whatever they call it, is an AK.
Possibly an AKS-74U.
I enjoyed it. It didn't revolutionize anything but for me it was more interesting than it's predecessors..
- Pumping rock music in the background
- A series of complex, varied levels both on Earth and in Hell
- HUGEEE demons. Seriously, I want a Mancubus the size of a skyscraper
- No lame attempts at scary. That's not what Doom's ever been about. By all means make it creepy, but not a Resident Evil game.
Doom practically came up with some of the biggest FPS standards ever, so let's see it invent some more. They could go completely retro and only let us aim left and right.
No, Doom 4.
