Kind Regards All

Thanks so much for the nice reply, and yes I don't go into those subjects as it's a game.😊

As per the official announcement[slayersclub.bethesda.net], it is "powered by the latest idTech engine", so either id Tech 7 (Eternal) or possibly 8.

Given the comments in the Gamespot interview, that they can now have more enemies/ai on screen than ever before, and that there are almost no limitations anymore, it could very well be v8, or at the very least a heavily improved v7.

That sounds awesome, and thank you for the information.😊

Eternal used ID Tech 666 which was a proprietary engine for Doom Eternal specificly. It's probably ID Tech 7 or 8. You can obviously see the similarities to D:E but Doom 2016 had obvious engine similarities to ID Tech 666. So I would comfortably say this is an upgrade or 2 from the ID Tech 666 days. Just cause it looks similar in-engine doesn't mean that under the hood it's not a couple hundred horses more powerful. This one is next- gen only so they are squeezing all the power out they can from this engine. You can clearly tell how much beefier this engine is. I've watched the trailer damn near 100 times already and I can say its a solid improvement over Eternal and seems to remove that cartoony look and feel to it. Muchhhhh grittier

Eternal was idTech 7. idTech 666 was an internal "code name" of idTech 6, used by DOOM 2016.

Is this an engine like Unreal? I always get these companies comfused for some reason. But I don't recall other games using ID tech. I'm missing omsething here.

Id Software used to license Id Tech out to other companies, but Bethesda put an end to that after they acquired them. It's now strictly an in-house engine.

Seems like a missed opportunity to me, honestly. Unreal Engine seriously needs some competition. Nearly every UE4 or UE5 game I've played has serious performance issues even when I far exceed the recommended specs. Meanwhile, I was cranking out 144 fps on Id Tech on hardware that had no business running that smoothly.

Ah yes I remember now. But that still doesn't make sense as most of Bethesda games don't even use Id.

True they definitely should license it out. As you say would really help us players. Imagine RDR2 in ID tech lol.

id tech 7 of course. Same as Doom Eternal.
But they are always updating it.. who knows. It could be a new id tech 8, but it doesn't show at all. Looks the same as Eternal.

[Deatheye]

It doesn't really look better than Eternal, so my guess is id tech 7.

[Dellou]

last year, id tech 8 was leaked. therefore, most likely doom TDA will be on it.
