Perhaps the only game I'm waiting for this year. Here are a few old trailers.

As the game is developed by id Software, expect this to run across all platforms. It doesn't use Direct3D.

^^It will use Opengl like doom 3 right? They are one of my favorite developers too. Gonna set some benchmarks like doom 3 did.

I guess we will see a doom 4 after this.

yup, it will use OpenGL.

And with the release of RAGE and id Tech 5 engine, the previous id Tech 4 engine will be GPLed. In simple words, the source of id Tech 4 will be made available for free and it would be free to modify too.

^^When doom 3 was launched back then powered by id tech 4, it was well ahead of its time. Kind of a system benchmark with lifelike characters and darkness used in its finest.The cone of light emmited from the torch was worth seeing.

Guess the tech 4 engine has more juice left to be extracted and we can see some gems from lesser developers.

yup, Doom 3 was _the_ game for benchmarking in those days.

id always has the habit of GPLing their old engines. Good for the community.

NO! Developer = id Software.

id = father of FPS with Wolfenstein 3D. ;) Bethesda = publisher.

yup. Like I mentioned before, it is OpenGL not Direct3D. This should put "OpenGL is crap" myth to an end.

Ops didn't knew that.
I saw a interview of John Carmack or something(Can't remember the surname). Damn he was quite sure that this game would be a success.

Well I loved doom but didn't quite liked Wolfenstein. But Doom was a epic. This should also be an epic because if he was not resting then he has spend quite a big time on this game.
