Looks like there may be a screenshot of Doom 4 floating around. If this is real, I am excited. Even if it isn't, the fact that Doom 4 is being made excites me enough.

@jdodson have you seen this?

Doom 3 is a game that I happily put on my most loved games

Doom 3 is a game that I happily put on my most loved games list. I have played it through a few times now and every time really enjoy myself. Some people hate on the fact you cant use the flashlight and a fun at the same time. Some people hate on the fact that the game is dark. But both of those things are game mechanics that make the game even more unique and fun for me. For instance, when you are walking through the Mars base and its dark you can either:

A) Keep your shotgun handy and stay "safe" knowing you can shoot zombie heads off.

Or

B) Have your flashlight ready and see whats ahead while not being able to do jack squat when a demon starts throwing fireballs at... Read All

id got a lot of unwarranted flak for this game. It is one of the few games from that era that stands up to the test of time, and you're right, the graphics don't look dated. But I think we've come to a point where graphics won't look dated anymore. I can see hyper-realism coming, probably very soon, but I think in 20 years I could boot up Skyrim, Final Fantasy XIII, Metal Gear Solid 4, or most others this generation and still be wowed by the beauty of the game. The same goes for the (PC) games last generation. Obviously the pixelation of PS2/GC/XBox games from last gen won't hold up, but Half-Life 2, Doom 3, Quake 4, and many others scale up to higher graphics capabilities and will forever look amazing.

I think you're right about that.

That said I'm not really eagerly anticipating hyper realism. At least I haven't seen anything yet that excites me about it. Rage and Crysis 2 sure look pretty but that doesn't make them more fun than Secret of Mana.

Agreed. I think too much focus has been given to graphics lately, lengthening development time and allowing other parts of the game to get away with being less polished/fun.

I did see this screenshot. I read some stuff a yet ago of actors doing mo-cap for Doom 4. IDs had a team on it for a few years now so hopefully it will make its way to release sooner than Rage did.

As to if it's real.. It doesn't seem like It to me. But you never know.

Damn. I really want Doom 4. Sorry, I had to make that point again :)

Yeah man, Rage took forever to release. I remember being amazed by the screenshots years ago.
