id Software Announces Doom 4

spoco2 writes "The id Software site has announced that work has begun on the next sequel to their most famous game, Doom. Will they be able to resurrect the series after what many considered to be a serious misstep with Doom 3? Oh... and they're hiring for the team, so maybe you can steer them in the right direction?"

Re:Misstep?

Doom has always been something of a tech demo....pixel shaders in the Doom 3. Any guess what new technology will be in Doom 4? So far all the posts have been complaining about how hard/boring Doom 3 was. Since when did slashdot become such a place for whiners?

With all the talk from John Carmack lately about ray tracing, I'll bet we'll be seeing some real time ray tracing in this next Doom. And it will be awesome. (and people on Slashdot will whine anyway because "there's nothing new about raytracing, we've been doing it for two decades, my 486 could do it" or something like that).
