John Carmack of id Software announced at Quake Com today that the next Doom game is being developed. There wasn’t a truckload of details about "Doom 4" but Carmack did give a few hints of what to expect in the game.
"There will be guns, blood, demons, and gibs. The next DOOM game will look like it’s built on another engine, as it uses three times the horsepower.
"We’re hiring new talent, but are not so interested in ‘systems people’ who want to create new code. We don’t want to be the kind of project that throws hundreds of people at something to get it done. Finding level designers is difficult. It used to be that everyone made DOOM levels. Nowadays it’s really hard for people to produce commercial quality levels."
As usual, Carmack won’t say when the project will be completed, but it’s pretty good news that the next Doom is coming.
