Sad, but a long time coming. I think the glory days of quake 1 / 2, and the original dooms were gone long before anyway

[[AU] Tabris:DarkPeace]

The time for a new generation to step up to the plate has long since passed too. I'll give it a go but I don't think there's many left who would care.

DOOM IV should be awesome (I hope), it's just a shame that DOOM 3 killed the genre (IMHO) before it had a chance to compete with Half-Life.

How many titles that are 20 years old are still played today?

Quake 4 kicked ass imo, at least for the campaign...shame it was kind of a sleeper since doom 3 was lame, and people were turned off to ID after that.

yo hey, I still play "Doom 3" and "Resurrection of Evil" (albeit, modded versions of them) quite often, and they kick some serious ass

They didn't feel all that doomy for me though, especially cause almost ALL monsters do an "intro" animation, which half the times mean I can shove the shotgun down their throat and 1 shot them. Gets kind of dumb how an imp opens his mouth and screams at me, right before I blow its head off.

Did you catch it off-guard, or know there's spawning points?

I heard about this, if only they released doom 4 prior to this? Brutal Doom mod is kick ass anyways!

Neither, most of the time you just walk in a door, imp is there, it screams as I insert the shotgun into his mouth like a metalic ♥♥♥♥ of justice, and blow my load of justice lead into his throat.

Also the jump scares got old, since half the time you just put a pistol bullet in any "corpse" just to check

that said, doom 3 with double doom mod was the scariest ♥♥♥♥ I've ever played.

This is a good thing, he left to focus on the Oculus Rift. Carmack makes new technology, its what he's best at. I can't wait!
ID should let Romero make another Doom.

Doom 4 needs to be more of Doom 1/2 and less of 3.

From the screenshots and leaked models it looks more like Crysis 2. The environments and "damned" city looks almost identical.

Romero also quit however, I don't think he actually makes doom games, which kind of sucks, but might also be good...we know how daikatana was.

Yeah, I know Romero isn't there anymore. It just seemed like Carmak made the tech work and Romero made it cool to play. I have never played Daikatana and don't plan to.

You guys do know that Romero left id 17 years ago right?

Yes, but I can dream.
