Is this still ID tech engine?
It looks a lot like UE5 unfortunately.

Yes, it uses id Tech Engine.

I’m pretty sure it’s still idTech. id Software would not abandon their own engine.

Looks similar to Eternal to me. Also no way they would give up the id tech engine which they've used for decades for generic Unreal engine

Yeah looks like Eternal to me as well. I honestly thought it's a new DLC for Eternal.

Yes, the official YouTube trailer's description says

Developed by id Software on the latest idTech engine, DOOM: The Dark Ages is a single-player action FPS that tells the epic cinematic origin story of the DOOM Slayer's rage.

UE5 has started putting in coding and stuff into its engine that is trying to PUSH inclusitivity and DEI. Only Engine at this point that maybe worth a damn is new Cryengine that hasn't been released yet till Crysis 4 comes out.

It is. You'll be able to play it on the Switch.

Huh? It basically looks the same as Eternal, so most likely id tech (since early 90s).

I am pretty sure he just meant that UE5 games look too generic. Literally every single Unreal Engine game look the same these days and some are getting sick of it. Unreal Engine 3 was fine as developers have always added their little something into the code and each game looked different enough. UE4 and UE5 are just cancer, as studios often use them instead of making their own engines nowadays.

Bethesda went out of their way to make IdTech their exclusive in-house engine after buying Id Software, so there would be no good reason to switch to a rival engine like Unreal, especially since with IdTech they can do whatever they want with the engine, since they own it.

I kind of understand what you're getting at though, every engine used in this generation makes similar looking products for some reason, unless the developers do a more stylized art direction.

lol No. There is no way. ID Software will NEVER use Unreal. Don't worry.
