Doom, Rage studio hiring for next-gen

In my opinion, I do not think it is a good idea for id Software to start developing a game for the next-gen, when their first person shooters are not up to par with the other developers' first person shooters (except Call of Duty).

I really want Rage 2!

rage was an awesome game. i dont understand everyone's probelm with it. it wasnt over hyped, i barely saw any glitches, and it felt like borderlands. doom 4 looks amazing. i will be sure to pick this one up.

I liked Rage, but it did feel like they were still developing it. I'd give ID another chance, Doom 4 will be good.

ID should stick to current gen consoles.  then it wouldn't take 10 years to develop an average at best shooter.

I hope Doom 4 goes well. I didn't really enjoy RAGE since I thought it was dull, easy, and felt like a dumb down version of Borderlands. Even after RAGE, I'm still a huge fan of ID and I hope the best of them in the future because I do want to enjoy their latest games, not just their classics.

I really hope this is a non-space marine Quake 1 type game. I think the original Quake is the best shooter of all time. Or I'd like to see a non-superpower version of Wolfenstein. Something really dark and gritty like an FPS WWII Max Payne.

i want id to take the lead again!

quake 5 or a new wolfenstein is what i want

Rage is a great game!  The engine and the gun play kept me coming back.  I'd be more than happy with news of a Rage 2.

20 or 10 years ago, you would never hear "I'm not that excited about next gen" coming from a guy like Carmack.

The problem is iD ain't what it used to be. Quake 3 was the less stellar game (13 years ago), Doom3 was impressive but not groundbreaking gameplay wise and Rage was decent but a big disappointment.

Their only chance is drop that Tech5 crap and make a new engine starting from Tech4 again.

And bring out Doom 4 the way it have to be.

This is fantastic news. I'm glad to see that id is still in the game :-)

I have no experience, but I'm available. My asking price? One milllllliiooooone dollars.

You'd think they'd have plenty of time to meet their one gamer per gen quota.

i would like doom 4 and half life 3 etc, but games that had a great beginning a long time ago that finally have time to come back after years, as much as i want to say will be as good as the first will ultimately be bad because of way too much hype that builds up over the years, so everyone is disappointed, yes i want to see D4 but i have a feeling it will have Dukenuke syndrome

I've lost a lot of interest in Id after RAGE. It wasn't awful but way over hyped. Ut showed Id to be just another developer and no longer leaders. Oh well.

"Doom, Rage studio"? Just put id Software in the damn title. If you don't know who id are and what they have done, you shouldn't be on this site anyway.

Call of Duty and Halo developers are preparing for the next gen? That must mean they are taking the measurements of the new media boxes to print their covers with the title and wait for it to sell on its own. Worked with Halo 3.

An unannounced id Software project for the next hardware generation?  Here's hoping we finally get that Commander Keen reboot everyone's been dying to see.

can't wait to play a new doom.

Who wants to go back to Stroggos, because I want to!

Please be Rage 2! :D

>id Software

>unannounced game for next-generation consoles

This hurts me. A lot.

All i want is a Quake 5 that expands the universe of Q1 with Q3 mp.

Here's what I wanna see in doom 4, Spider mastermind and cyberdemon infighting and since motherdemon was covered in ROE expansion, the last boss (Goathead demon) from doom 1,2.

Most likely Rage 2.

Does this future unannounced project starts with D and end with 4?

Why? You've ran every IP you made into the ground....

Hopefully they're interested in hiring someone to get them in line with 21st century gaming.  Little things like story, not making all your games pratically on rails linear corridor shooters and variety of game play (no more pointless driving/kart racing please) are kind of important in games these days.  Coming from someone who is a huge fan of Doom and Quake I've got to say Rage was damn near BORING.

For me I've enjoyed all Id games since the early days .

Eh... Can't say I care much. Last id Software title I bought was Quake 2. Never was drawn in for any titles made by them since.

I think Doom is still id's strongest title, and I'm excited about a new entry.

And I hope they don't reinvent the wheel too much.  Doom is at it's best in a "get from point A to point B and survive" game design mechanic.

I actually enjoyed Rage. Keep in mind I do not think it is fantastic. I do not think it is Doom standards. Then again I wasn't a huge fan of DOOM 3 either. Though I played the crap out of it for one key reason. id is good at making it fun to kill people. Like Rage, Doom 3's story was....lack luster at best. I think it's mostly because id was never good at making a story. Even Quake was mostly Raven's baby, not id's. Rage ending? Come on..do none of you remember the final ending for the original Doom? That was by far lack luster, even for when I first played it. Though I didn't car...because man..that shot gun. Same thing with rage. Story sucked, but man..those spider droids.....

Doom 3 BFG Edition is coming soon. It sounds to me like they are trying to raise interest in Doom for an upcoming sequel.

Meh, sellouts.
