'Doom' creator Id soon to start on new game on Reuters (thanks
Gaming Horizon
and Tiscali Games) has scant details on id's next project after DOOM 3, which will
unsurprisingly begin development soon after DOOM 3's completion. The more
newsworthy bit is the revelation that the game will not be another sequel or
remake: LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Video game developer id Software, famed
creators of games like "Doom" and "Quake", will likely start work on its new
project almost immediately after completing four years of work on "Doom 3", its
chief executive says.
In an interview with Reuters on the sidelines of the video game industry trade
show E3 here, Todd Hollenshead said that the game in question was new
intellectual property, and was not a "Doom", "Quake" or "Wolfenstein" game.
He offered few details on the style or content of the game, other than to say
the id team would start serious work on it in short order, possibly a matter of
days, after moving on from the PC and later Xbox releases of the new
"Doom2".

Uhhm yea, ok, so someone at id just paid out a few thousand bucks to have that sign printed and hung from the side of a building with no contact to anyone else in Activision or id software. You delude yourself.
Erm, where did u dig up that piece of usefull information..lol...Please refrain from making comments about things that u have no idea about.
As far as I know Activision is in charge of marketing any game they publish so why would that be any different for Doom 3?
All you idiots that think "when its done" applies to internal deadlines, you can think again. "when its done" is what they tell the public, not the people footing the bill for development and publishing.
Erm, are we talking about the same id software here? You know the guys who are filthy rich, drive ferraris and have rocketeering as hobbies?? I know that Activision is paying their bills, but Im pretty sure that the folks at id who are in charge of busieness matters made sure their contract with Activision is one that can easily be broken if they are getting too much pressure from the execs at Activision.
Name one publisher that wouldnt jump at the smallest opportunity to publish Doom 3 if id decides to call it quits with Activision.
And "when its done" might not mean "when its done" to Activision but what difference does it make what deadlines they get, when ultimately its "when its done" to the probable customers and the general public.
