Poll: Whats next for ID software? Doom Sequel or Quake Reboot?

[chrissx2]

I personally think Doom sequel because Quake is MP franchise and ID will screwed up Quake because they suck at making MP nowadays however they are excellent at making SP games. so Doom sequel all the way which set on earth.

Id isn't solely responsible for the multiplayer in DOOM. They developed it in conjunction with Certain Affinity, who clearly did most of the legwork since it plays like only slightly faster Halo.

OT: The only Quake I've played is Quake 4 and it seems like Quake 4 is the Doom 3 of its franchise. A more corridor driven horror esque game than the ones that came before. I wouldn't mind a new quake, but after how good DOOM came out I'd definitely like more of that first. I'm hoping for some single player DLC.

Both games are quite simillar. You're a badass marine killing monsters. Both have complex maps, fast character movement and almost the same type of weapons. Only the theme is slightly different.

I wonder if I'm the only one who saw their take on Mars and thought "I bet id games could make a good Dune?"

Fremen fighters, energy shields, melee (and ranged in certain places.)

Sandworms!

Yeah, I loved the vistas. I would love to walk around it in VR >. <

Problem is, people rarely, if ever use firearms in the Dune universe, considering the effect lasguns have on shields. Since iD has pretty much based its entire roster on FPS games as of Wolfenstein (bar some exceptions), and have rarely, if ever taken an interest in storytelling outside Doom 3 (I'm sure you could point to exceptions there as well), I can't see them being a good fit for the Dune setting.

Def Quake. Take the movement from Quake 3/live, theme from Quake 1 and visuals from Doom 4 and it would be the best thing ever!

I agree completely, though sadly, I feel that the most important aspect(frantic, skill-based movement) will never make it into another game as they'd completely lose the console market.

More of what I got in Doom 4 would make me a very very happy Doomslayer.

Theres still somebody who needs an asskicking! Not to mention the endless armies of hell!

It'll be a DOOM sequel. id spend 10 years working on it in one form or another; if you count in the wasted money on Doom 4, I doubt that DOOM's gonna turn much of a profit. But since it's proven that it can sell, the corporate masters are gonna want to capitalize on it to actually make some money. I give it 3 or so years until DOOM 2.
