Talk:Doom (2016)

If it's a secret project, how do you know it exists? I mean, it sounds probable, but still... oTHErONE _(Contribs) 09:30, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

doom 4 for x box

it would b cool if doom 4 was for the reagular xbox —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.59.165.15 (talk)

Not really. Considering the fact that the old xbox couldn't possibly handle the Id Tech 5 engine.

But in case you really like a framerate of 1 you can give it a try when it is released. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.160.45.109 (talk)

wtf dude that would be terrible —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.231.251.118 (talk)

"to earth"

"To earth" is used often as an expression, similiar in meaning to "come to light". Stop trying to join dots that aren't there. But still, it is likely it's a remake of doom II :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 125.238.225.144 (talk)

Not a remake

Well, on wikipedia there is a clear statement that it is NOT a remake nor a sequel...which makes you wonder what the hell is it??? A whole new story arc sounds like the most plausible scenario in the light of this statement, be this new arc on Mars or Earth, though I do prefer Mars as a setting or any other planet/moon. That being said it's a pity no info will be coming out on Quakecon 2010...I hope they change their minds. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Illidan-Stormrage (talk • contribs) .

I think that Doom 4 will be a sequel to Final DOOM. BUt that's just me for ya.. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.149.52.111 (talk)

Unlikely. Final Doom was not developed by Id Software. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.153.221.249 (talk)

New "old" info

Shacknews, Doom 4 - 1 Aug. 2008

I bet some of you have not read this, although it has 2 years since is there (but i see nothing bout this in the article)

"When asked whether the game will be rooted in the horror genre, Carmack indicated that it will instead focus more on pure action elements a la Doom 2." It will not be horror!

"Development of Doom 4 will be short, as very little of the id Tech 5 engine will be changed in the transition from Rage." It may release soon after Rage —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Adasdasf (talk • contribs) .

Newsflash!

Looks like we are going to rip and tear all over again.

Check out that door and the familiar noise. Full reveal's coming in this year's Quakecon. --ZeroTheEro (talk) 06:02, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

Article name

It is pretty evident that ZeniMax intends to name the new game "DOOM" without any qualifiers, numbers, or subtitles, so eventually we'll have to rename this article. Once a release date is tenatively announced, I suggest we move the article to "Doom (201x)" with x being whatever the release date year turns out to be (.... >_>) and then make this a redirect. --Quasar (talk) 21:19, 11 June 2014 (UTC)

I am getting ready to update the article with information from the QuakeCon reveal and it seems pressing that the article be renamed soon. I'll go ahead with my content additions, but calling this article "Doom 4" at this point is really inappropriate I feel. Suggestions for an interim title would be appreciated. Maybe just literally "Doom (201x)" ? --Quasar (talk) 02:20, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

It depends on how the community calls it. If Zenimax is going to just call it DOOM, I think the community will end up calling it Doom 4, but only time will say. --Kyano (talk) 07:17, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

My opinion would be to leave it as Doom 4 until a release date is announced, then call it Doom (Year). Also what Kyano said, if people outside of id/Beth/Zen call it Doom 4, then we can keep calling it Doom 4. In any case, the title Doom should remain about what it currently is. --Gez (talk) 09:45, 18 July 2014 (UTC)

I'd never suggest otherwise with respect to Doom, so that's not a part of this debate. I disagree with you guys. It may be OK to leave it as is for now, but in the long term, this article will be renamed to match the official name of the game, plus whatever is necessary to disambiguate it, because that is the only option in terms of our encyclopedic style. We don't call "Doom 3" the speculative "Doom 2000" title that people came up with on their own before the game was even officially announced and, as far back as you go, all the rumored logos for this project have only ever said "Doom". No four to be found. --Quasar (talk) 14:13, 18 July 2014 (UTC)
