Doom 4 announced, rumored to be running on new multiplatform engine? |
Ó
This just in, id Software has started production on Doom 4 and has opened hiring for the game's producer, lead designer, lead animator, and more.This is a pretty big announcement considering what the Doom franchise means to gamers. Even id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead took some time to comment about the game and its importance to their company as well.
Doom is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next installment of our flagship franchise to Earth. It's critical for id Software to have the best creative minds in-house to develop games that meet the standards synonymous with our titles.
While details on this game have been rather sketchy, rumor has it that the game will be going cross-platform using their new proprietary engine called Tech 5 which, according to the company's lead artist Kevin Cloud, is running great:
You don't even have to worry about how it's going to look on PS3 or 360. Right now we've got it running cross-platform running 60 hertz, and it looks really good.In terms of what artists are available to achieve--it's something you have to see for yourself. I can say this, but you still won't get it until you see it.

There's another game that id software is working on called Severity. It is a multiplayer focused FPS with PS3 x 360 X PC gamers all playing with/against each other.

they would have to break with XBL tradition and use :gasp: an actual server to host games, or force the highly insecure P2P method on all platforms...

they mean there will be very little to no need tweak the engine to suit different consoles
meaning less conflicts during crossplatform multiplayer
even if im not 100% right i dont care
I WANT DOOM4 DAMMIT
I was on doom3 for months
very few games do that to me
one game i want remade for todays graphics is goldeneye. they wouldnt even have to add any missions or anything make it exactly the same, i dont care. as long as it looked todays standards id buy it at full price and play it again.
cranked up the N64 last november and got stuck into for a while and it still holds as a great game.
also original doom levels in doom3's engine would rock
classic doom by flaming sheep is ok but it only has knee deep in the dead episode (shareware maps)
and doom2 4 doom3 was ok, but a little buggy.
id like to see a full IDSoftware doom1 and 2 classic levels remake. my 264cents worth
*REDEMPTION DENIED*
