"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 said id Software's design director Matt Hooper. But what of Doom 4?"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 tells
Eurogamer.
Apparently, the Doom 4 development team is "going in their own direction," Hooper added. "They're doing something Doom fans will be happy with."
This is a good thing because we, like Matt, "don't want to make a re-skinned
Doom (with
Rage) and then
Doom 4 be a re-skinned
Rage. That would be bad."
Hands-up all who agree!
