Glad to see Doom making a comeback!

Hope it is better than 3.
3 was not a "Doom" in my opinion. 3 was just another dark corridor shooter with a demon here and there.
I missed the amount of enemies to slaughter from the originals.

Same here, I got really excited when I heard this, but now I'm reigning in my expectations. I wish that FAQ sounded a little more certain of...anything really. I could see people preordering just for the beta and having to wait two years before it's actually ready. I guess time will tell if this is the real deal or just another story in Doom 4's increasingly Duke Nukem Forever-like development. And the Doom series doesn't really have a set in stone multiplayer structure, Doom 3's was tacked on bs, so I'm wondering what this will even be. If it was like the spiritual successor to Quake III: Arena we never really got I'd be cool with that, I mean releasing it under the Quake name would be better, but that's pretty much my favorite game of all time so I'll take what I can get. Anyway, a lot of if's. I was planning on preordering this game to begin with but I'd prefer a statue or something over a vague promise. It still seems id's been dead since Zenimax bought it, and now even Carmack's left, so I really should lower my expectations even more. But we'll see!

Does anyone remember the 3DO version ? I had great times playing that one

True, but boy did it scare the crap outta me.

Yea doom 3 freaked me out. Looking forward to this.

I actually liked the direction Doom 3 went in. I know Doom should have more quantities of enemies, based on the originals, but I don't think that translates as well any more.

It's like how they sold Serious Sam, as a return to the FPS glory days of killing millions of enemies. But then twenty minutes in, I was bored.

I'd like 4 to balance Doom 3 with the original series. Keep the oppressive fear of 3 with some of the larger enemy numbers from the originals.

Does anyone else find it weird they're announcing a beta but there aren't any kind of details about the game? I wonder if this has anything to do with pre-sales figures for Wolfenstein?

This will probably be like the Halo Reach beta with Crackdown. The beta wasn't available until months later after release.

Is anyone else worried about this with the recent departures from ID?

Doom 3 was pretty damn fun.

I've read some articles that say it's not really DOOM4, but only DOOM, cause D4 wasn't living up to the internal expectations so they scratched it up and restarted the whole thing, word on the street is that it's a reboot.

I think they were having trouble initially but Bethesda forced them into line and they should be doing just fine. I know some people (I'm in the Dallas area) and I've heard good things.

**** yeah

Nice to see the Cyberdemon making a return.

QuakeCon is July 17-20.

Cool; waiting on actual gameplay though

Saw the teaser.



Most anticipated game of my life (until Doom 5 is announced).

Hopefully they have more than just dark hallways and a few monsters like 3.
I enjoyed playing Doom 1, 2, and Final Doom more than 3.
