Doom 4 - annouced on www.idsoftware.com May 2008

Production has begun on DOOM 4 , the next journey into the legendary DOOM universe.
(Well Doom 1 and 2 were great , doom 3 was utter garbage )
We are expanding our internal team and are currently hiring to work on this highly anticipated title.
(more people to code back into doom 4 coop and release proper sads program and a linux client ?)

"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 Todd Hollenshead,
CEO, id Software. "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 DOOM franchise is one of the most recognizable and important in gaming history, having been
named "one of the ten most influential games of the decade" by PC Gamer and "the #1 game of all time"
by GameSpy. DOOM 4 will join the award-winning series which has consistently topped sales charts
throughout the world.

Personaly I dont have many high hopes for Doom 4 after seeing the utter crap
that Quake 4 and Doom 3 worked out to be , both had
COOP REMOVED as a built in feature
, both supported consoles ,
Doom 3 had ugly graphics with limited colours .

What do people think of the upcoming Doom 4 game for PC ?

Can it show real game play before bling and bring back the real doom feeling
that doom 1 and doom 2 (and its exp packs) had ?

Will it support opengl ?

Will it have built in LAN and online coop with EIGHT to 16 players ?

Will it have a proper seperate stand alone dedicated server ?

Will it have a working game browser unlike so many incompete games lately ?

Will it have huge system requirments ?

Will it be worth supporting ID once
again were as I found Doom 3 and Quake 4
wasnt worth supporting
