Speaking to Eurogamer<\/a>, id Software’s Matt Hooper said that the team working on Doom 4 is “going in their own direction.” “They’re doing something Doom fans will be happy with,” added Hooper.<\/p>\n

“It’s very much deep in development. But everything I’ve seen on it is classic Doom, so I don’t really have worries that people aren’t going to like it and start talking about it,” he said.<\/p>\n

id is also working on Rage, which is a new IP being launched on PC, PS3 and Xbox 360 at an unspecified time in the future. When asked if Doom runs the risk of being a “re-skinned” Rage, Hooper said “”It is distinct enough. It would be dangerous… We don’t want to make a re-skinned Doom [with Rage] and then Doom 4 be a re-skinned Rage. That would be bad.”<\/p>\n

“It’s worked out really nicely where we have enough connection to take advantage of things like technology and talent, but enough separation to be able to go in a unique direction.”<\/p>\n

Little is known about Doom 4 at this stage, but according to Hooper it will not be a sequel to Doom 3, and nor will it be a reboot. “Doom 3 was sort of a reboot. It’s a little bit different than those, and if I told you why, I would get my ass kicked when I got back. So I’ll just have to leave it at that,” said Hooper.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
