I guess it was too much to expect from a press release or what ever, but I still hoped to find something which would had been a hint that id has read some comments of their dull doom 3.
I'm not saying that I won't play it, nor am I not saying that many wont buy the expansion set but I'm saying that many wont enjoy playing it.
I'm hoping they'd come up with something more than:
Enter a room
Kill the first monster
Turn around, kill the second monster
Go through the room, looking for supplies
Kill the third monster in front of the medkit
Jump to 1.
Hoping for everyone's sake, please id use more of the potential of doom3 and concept of scary game.

The one feature I wish they'd add is auto-downloading of maps from MP servers. I love id, but the fact that it doesn't even tell you the FILENAME you're missing when you try to connect to a server is really harsh. I'm hoping the next patch will fix this.
Please, id. Please. This is the one thing really holding back MP player-base expansion. We've been playing the same 5 maps for 3 months now, cause it's such a pain in the ass for clients to use new maps.
Actually, my vote goes to Doom 1. Why? Because nothing has changed significantly since then.
The only game that has gone beyond the basic "run down the hallways and shoot things" is Metroid Prime, but that's an adventure not a shooter so let's not compare apples and oranges.
In fact, most FPS's have taken a step backward since Doom 1. In Doom, the levels were well-architected, had you coming back to areas, and were littered with excellent secret areas. Today, it's "run through area, shoot things, go to next area, repeat". Pretty sad.

You've never seen Thief: The Dark Project or its sequals then, have you?

Are there any plans for Doom 4 on horizon? Any screenshots of pre-alpha concept art etc.?
Yep. A preliminary screenshot of Doom 4 can be found here.
Keep in mind, this is just an early rendition.
But will it...

have online co-op? Based on the original Doom 3, having two people gun down some of the monsters might be too easy, but if the game engine can support large numbers of enemies at a time then I say get it in there.

Crap, that means I have to shift it into high gear and actually beat the first one, now. Will the expansion also cost 60$US?

"DOOM 3 defines first-person cinematic action"
Actually, my vote goes to Half-Life.

Too cynical to live, too stubborn to die.
Will they put an actual game in there this time?
Sorry, cheap shot, couldn't resist.
Overcaffeinated. Angry geeks.

Will this one use light?
