Ah, the good old Doom. A game that was created by a twelve-man team from Texas. A game from an unknown (at that time) company that was meant to change FPS games forever. We are pretty sure that most of you already know how legendary this game is but did you know that it was the highest usage application in the US when its shareware version was released? Oh yeah, iD’s little gem was installed – and played – to more PC systems and managed to surpass even Microsoft’s OS, Windows. Continue reading Doom shareware was ‘the number one usage application’ in the US – Brutal Doom coming on May 4th→
Ah, the good old days of Quake 3. Those frantic deathmatches can’t be easily forgotten and a lot of gamers are currently enjoying them via Quake Live. However, it appears that some people wish for a next generation version of iD’s best multiplayer game. Well, we got some bad news as there won’t going to be one anytime soon. When a fan asked for a new Quake 3 game, John Carmack said that it would not happen. The reason behind it is quite simple. According to Carmack, QuakeArena does not translate well to game controllers – due to its fast movements – and is not newbie friendly for a console for a console triple-A title. Therefore, there are no plans for resurrecting or developing a remake of it for current generation systems.

With the recent news of an upcoming RAGE surprise, a lot of PC gamers started wondering whether they’d be getting that rumored high resolution texture pack or not. Well, it appears that there wasn’t any such texture pack to begin with, as John Carmack has revealed that most of the source art isn’t at higher resolution, therefore there can’t be a high-resolution texture pack for it. Continue reading RAGE PC – The rumored high resolution texture pack won’t get released… ever→
Great news for all RAGE and Skyrim fans, as Bethesda’s Pete Hines has revealed that some new things are coming down the road in April for both of these titles. In other words, this could mean a new patch for them and an announcement for a new DLC. After all, we already know that Bethesda is working on a DLC for Skyrim so our guess is that it will be revealed next month. Continue reading Possible DLC announcements and patches for RAGE and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim in April→
I seriously don’t know if you’ll get excited about it, but John Carmack has confirmed that a 64bit executable version of RAGE will be released. Carmack didn’t give any specific details about the gains that it could possibly introduce but when a fan asked whether this 64bit version was cancelled or not, Carmack responded and reassured him that it will be released as it’s now in the Q&A phase.
“it is still in QA, but it is definitely going to be released.”
In other news, iD Software revealed a while ago that they have not forgotten about all those promises for a PC Level Editor and Mod Tools. As the company tweeted a couple of weeks ago, they’ll be sharing new information soon. Well, it’s been two weeks since then and we haven’t heard anything from them.
Here is hoping that iD Software won’t use Valve’s ‘time schedule’ for their announcements.
Well, we’ve all been looking forward to something like that, right? An official response to the leaked Doom 4 screenshots. And although Bethesda decided to remain silent, iD Software’s Matthew Hooper went ahead and made some comments about them. What’s really interesting here is that Hooper has not denied them, thus we can safely say that these artworks and renders were indeed from an early version of Doom 4. Continue reading iD Software responds to the leaked Doom 4 screenshots→
Earlier yesterday, we posted some brand new leaked screenshots of Doom 4. Although a lot of you are not aware of how these shots got leaked, we are here to tell you the story behind it. In addition, we are bringing you some new artworks, as well as the first – supposedly – leaked music tracks from the game. Keep in mind that both artworks and music are from early development and do not represent the final game in any way. Continue reading Doom 4 – Over 170 Assets Leaked By Game’s Ex-Artist; Four Music Tracks Revealed→
Earlier today, we posted some images from the supposedly leaked version of Doom 4. Although we weren’t sure about the game’s identity, we got our hands on more screenshots and artworks which revealed that this is indeed Doom 4. Therefore, we can safely say now that those shots, as well as the following ones, are from Doom 4. This comes as no surprise as Bethesda didn’t deny that, but keep reading to find more clues about it. Continue reading The leaked images are indeed from Doom 4; new hard evidence about the game’s identity→
GDC is almost upon us and everything is expecting lots of news about all the latest games. But did you know that back in January, some rumored Doom 4 screenshots got leaked? The Internet buzz started today after a post at 4Chan – and that’s why we’ve decided to mark this as a rumor and nothing more – and we wouldn’t really pay attention to them. After all, the 4Chan dude claimed that Doom 4 was cancelled, when in fact Bethesda has already stated that the game is still under development. Did you know however that the following screenshots appeared first on Playware Games’ Community section? According to them – back then – the game was not cancelled but these were supposed to be leaked screenshots of Doom 4 that were present in the portfolio of one of the game’s artists. This could be true, but as always, take everything with a grain of salt, as the following shots look similar to RAGE. Could Doom 4 take place on Earth, like in Doom 2? Or could these screenshots be unused assets from RAGE? Continue reading Rumor: Is this how Doom 4 is supposed to look like?→
Now this is why we love modders. Modder ‘theonebutcher’ has been working for a little while on a corridor space map that looks very similar to the ones found in Doom 3. This map comes with custom assets and the level of detail is simply astonishing. This map could very well be a glimpse of how Doom 3 (or even the upcoming new Doom game) would look like in CryEngine 3. CryEngine 3 is an amazing engine with so much potential and we really hope that more developers will license and put it into good use. Enjoy! Continue reading This is how Doom 3 would look like in CryEngine 3→
