The moment most old-school FPS fans have been waiting for is almost upon us. Bethesda has confirmed that the new Doom game that is being developed by id Software and that is – most probably – powered by id Tech 5 will be unveiled tonight at 7PM EST.
Basically, the game will be unveiled in around five hours. Unfortunately there won’t be any livestreaming for this unveil, though we are pretty sure that someone will leak whatever Bethesda is about to reveal.
The big question now is whether we’ll be getting any footage at all or not. The fact that Bethesda is not willing to livestream anything regarding this new Doom game is suspicious to say the least.
Imagine if all this hype is just for a Powerpoint presentation. Now that would be awesome.
Moreover, QuakeCon’s Quake tournament is currently under way and can be viewed below.
Enjoy and stay tuned for more!

I’m semi-hyped, cautious but still non the less excited. Wonder how much they improved the Idtech 5 since RAGE though..
It was used in Wolfenstein: The New Order and apparently most issues like texture pop-in have been addressed. Really hoping Doom4 pushes the envelope a lot visually, though.
I will be very impressed if they have high-resolution versions of some of the lighting effects that were in DOOM 3. All that high-tech paneling and oblique lighting in D3 looks amazing, even today.
I’d imagine Wolfenstein is a good indication of how a modern id Tech 5 will look.
I hope it’s like the classic Doom games with a lot of shooting in large environments, not the closet monster popper like Doom 3 was.
Agreed. Doom 3 was alright, but it wasn’t Doom really.
Doom 3 is hated you know, its not DOOM, WTF do you think these new losers could make?
Doom 3 is not hated, its how they went about it that was kind of retarded, the game looked amazing back then, and with mods it still looks amazing now. I loved rage too, but ID makes dumb decisions against their fanbase. I imagine this is why carmack decided he had to leave.
Rage (Aka Mad Max!) was great after they got it patched. Think it was their last good game, nothing as sensational as Doom but a great Mad Max rip off non the less. Doom 3 is tricky because of duct tape! Cant tape a lamp to a shotgun ? Thats how it actually started. They talk about it in downloadable audio book “Masters of doom”
I thought Doom 3 was an ok game, it was a bad move to release it the same month as Half-Life 2.
But I remember when I was waiting for Doom 3’s release and me and my brother were both impatient, and we managed to find an Alpha build of the game online. The game felt soooo much better when we played it. When you shot the zombies they’d fall over and you would think them dead, but they just kept getting back up. So you just had to knock them down and run past them. Gave the game a completely different feel.
I was really disappointed when I shot them in the retail version and they just disintegrated 🙁
Doom 3 styled, I liked Doom 3
Brutal Doom gameplay with id tech 5 graphics *0*
I’ll be happy if it’s simply RAGE 2, but dark and scary and on another planet.
Now that I think of it, I wonder if RAGE was meant to be DOOM 4, but at some point it just stopped feeling like DOOM so they just went a different direction with it.
Eh someone will leak it. Or it whatever they show will be officially released later tonight or tomorrow.
Also, can’t believe how much I’m enjoying these quake 3 matches. Not big on esports but these are neat
Who gives a F..k? Its NOT made by the real ID SOFTWARE, (THEY ALL LEFT) probably another generic FPS shooter thats dead on arrivial. F..K Beteshda same evil sh!t as EA. Forget about this one fast, brothers.
Original DOOM with the ALIENS wad. Now thats f..king classic!
finally i have the chance to see a real game being played not some dorky moba… i miss q3a and q2
i really like the way toxic is playing
Why don’t they get rid of that id Tech 5 engine .?
I think I’m the only one who likes id5. It just feels right.
propably they dont have anything else.
Is it happening?
Who’s the music!?? Tell me
Watching the Bethesda Twitch stream, it might be shown on there live.
