id's Next Game [May 14, 2004, 10:19 pm ET] – Share – Viewing Comments
'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".
It's interesting to see how the threads here so often start as genuine discussions but quickly digress into troll-infested flamer wars. When a thread gets as many posts as this one, you can bet there's one or more trollerama weenerboys alternately spewing insults and claiming they're merely defending themselves against imagined slights.
The thrust of this particular war seems to be: "Doom 3 will suck donkey" VS "How can you tell before it's out?", "'Cuz I can!" "No You can't!" "Oh, yeah?" "YEAH!" followed by a lot of boring posts filled with the most elaborate insults unimaginative, anonymous adolescents can concoct. The best part is when the weenerboys claim to be victims of the wrath they've incited.
Eventually the bickerbitches peter out (very small peters at that) and the grownups can continue their conversation. Here's some advice: don't take the troll bait, and they won't get the attention they're so transparently fishing for. And trollerama weenyboy bickerbitches (and you know who you are)? If you haven't anything nice to say, please don't say anything at all. Thanks!
