I get the feeling from these screens that the only real way you could convey the mass horror of the "Hell on Earth" scenario is if you made it open world, otherwise...I'm not so sure it would come off as anything unique or all that interesting.
I am hoping for a Rage without an open world. I loved Rage, mechanically. Doom guy running around a fucked up earth and then going to Hell would be amazing.
Just no more monster closets. No more flashlights. The game has never been horror based. Just fast crazy shooting with no set pieces or turret "scenes".

As much as I loved Doom, I can't help but feel that without some serious reworking of both its concepts and mechanics, it simply won't make much of an impact. Its the odd situation where the fact that it is so venerable and inspirational for the games that followed in its footsteps that everything that was interesting about its design is now trite or cliche.
I don't know how they can make a Doom 4 that will live up to expectations. Good luck to them, though. I hope they can carve out a new identity and not have the same feel as every other id game.
We have way to many shooters that take place on earth... but oh well, Doom 5, I'll get it regardless. Hoping for a nice big reveal at E3 and pray that it will be out late 2012 early 2013.

Speaking of Doom, id needs to find a way to bring Doom 64 to the Virtual Console or Steam. I'm not quite sure who owns it however as Midway is pretty much dead. Love that game. I'd definitely vouch that 64 is even more disturbing than Doom 3.
99% not a Doom game as none of them have taken place in scenery even remotely similar. The colors, atmosphere and so forth do not line up. But who knows, it is possible.

Didn't Rage sell around 2 million just on consoles, not including steam/pc sales?
Really loved Rage and though it was a great return for Id so I'm looking forward to this although it doesn't look very Doom esqe. As some others have said I'd imagine that most of these would have to pre-hell shots with the city in the vortex thing being the last. Either way, exciting. Hope we hear more soon.

This should be the new Doom. I remember reading that Doom 4 will be on earth, and it won't be horror base like Doom 3. I was disappointed when I read that.
This is 100% Doom 4, it is one earth. It follows the human story of what happens in the aftermath of "Hell on Earth". It won't be the typical Doom game in terms of story.

Ehm, bullcrap. We were scared shitless by Doom and Doom II back in the 90's as well, with the enemies behind doors and sudden appearances from hidden rooms. Even the developers talked about how they had people telling them stories of how the sounds in the game made people feel chills. I still do by the Demon sound sometimes.
Doom is a horror series, as for if it should be a flashlight + darkness series is a different thought important discussion, but horror it definitely is.

I liked how DOOM to the third power was a remake of DOOM. I hope DOOM 4 re does DOOM 2: Hell on Earth, because it really looks like that is what is happening with these screens.

Agreed. Doom 3, while overly dark, will scare the living hell out of you. No, it's not particularly inventive with the scares. But it is highly effective.
Sure, we can discuss the general failure of not putting lights on the actual guns themselves or being able to duck tape a flashlight to the guns, but overall the game's atmosphere was utterly scartastic. Just a shame the combat felt so...off in ways.

Looks awesome! I hope it's true.
Rage started out so slow, I almost didn't give it a chance. It actually turned out to be a really good game, you just have to power through the 1st hour or so until the cooler missions start to kick in.
I recommend it for anyone who needs a good single player FPS to play, especially at it's current low low price.

Doom makes me very excite. I just hope it comes to consoles because I do not have a comp that can handle gaming :*(

Because they're led by one of the biggest (if not THE biggest) technical wizards in the entire industry and have one of the most solid catalogs in the entire history of videogames backing them up :)
One misstep (Rage) does not mean the death of an entire company!
