Doom (PC, PS4, One, Switch)

[Rumpy]

Are they using id Tech 5?

[Frogacuda]

Last I heard they are.

This game needs to pretend Doom 3 never happened and instead be Doom 2 2.

[MechDeus]

Just remake Brutal Doom. Bam, problem solved.

[Cheebs]

Or... just play Brutal Doom.

[GohanX]

I will!

Or... just play Brutal Doom.

Already did. It would be even better with things like destructible character models and other stuff the classic engine can't support even when modified.

[Cheebs]

But we all agree we don't want Doom 3 2, right?

...They're totally going to make Doom 3 2.

Hopefully not. For one thing, the 0.5 seconds of game they showed had actual light in it, so that's a step in the right direction.

Carmack's a tech guy, not a design guy so his departure was probably not the big factor. From what I understand they were just really struggling to find a creative direction that was actually fun. That's all ancient history now, though. Hopefully they're on the right track now.

Given all the management and internal problems I keep hearing about Bethesda I'm continually surprised at how they manage to pump out good games.
