Doom 4 Still Coming Along

id Software co-found John Carmack provided an update on the release of Doom 4 during his keynote today at QuakeCon. He says the game is still in development and will be done when it's done. Carmack later stressed the importance of shorter development cycles going forward.

He also revealed the studio's internal mobile games division was shut down, shifting focus to development of AAA games, such as Doom 4. Carmack also explained that once Doom 3: BFG Edition is complete, the entire studio will be moved to development on Doom 4.

id Software released six mobile games, including Rage HD and Wolfenstein RPG.

Comments
  • That's really good to hear.

  • I hope this one is more like Doom and Doom II. I didn't care for Quake or Doom III.
  • I expect a cover story GI. Make it happen!

  • I'm hoping that Doom 4 will finally get into the origins of Doom Guy. Well, not really. But I'm glad to hear that the game still exists.
  • Well, I'm going to hope that this game will offer something interesting, but the destroyed urban environment has been so overused lately that I doubt merely throwing demons into the mix will inspire me to pay more attention.

    There better be some proper battles with Cyberdemons in this one.

  • Doom II RPG was ***. One of the only Mobile phone games I've ever played... but it was a fun experience.
  • Pray that it will avoid Duke Nukem syndrome.
  • I wonder if it will be as scary as Doom III was, which I found terrifying for some reason. Even if not, at least if will not be just another military shooter.
  • Doom 4 will make a much bigger splash because of the long dev cycle, at least I hope it will.
  • Also glad they closed the mobile studio, talk about an overcrowded landscape.
  • I thought it was Quake 4... but Doom is much better
  • I just want a trailer. One trailer will hold me over for another year.

  • Gee, I sure hope they finally have the technology to hold a flashlight and a gun at the same time! =P
  • I'm super excited for Doom 4, but it'd be even cooler if we got a proper sequel to the original Quake.
  • hopefully they finish it soon then they can start development on rage 2
  • Isn't John Carmack Id's mobile games division? So he just moved onto helping with Doom 4 instead of porting games mostly by himself?

  • They never disappoint!

  • I should get III....been meaning to...
