Doom 4 and Rage Still on id Software's Radar
Written Thursday, July 05, 2012 By Richard Walker

It's all been rather quiet where Doom 4 and a potential follow-up to Rage is concerned, but id Software's Studio Director, Tim Willits has been talking about possible announcements that could be on the cards in the near future. Talking about Doom 4, Willits addressed the remake of Doom 3 for the BFG Edition and whether it'll be a stepping stone towards the next instalment of the hellish FPS.

"I can't say for sure, but if we were, it would be a great time to do this," said Willits regarding the impending release of Doom 3: BFG Edition. "Yes, and again, everyone's heard of Doom but not everyone's played the entire catalogue. This is priced well, it's got a lot of great content, we have new content, and really the response has been great. I'm excited for it."

As well as Doom 4, a Rage sequel is also potentially on id's radar too. The studio hasn't forgotten about the game anyway, which is a start. "We have a few things that we may announce soon, but I'm not sure. We haven't forgotten about the title, and as soon as we have more news, we will definitely announce it," Willits told GameReactor.

Doom 4 and Rage 2? Now that would be id Software really spoiling us. Of course for now, it's all just pie in the sky, but it's a step in the right direction, right? Here's an old leaked Doom 4 screenshot for you to look at.

I forget if it was on Kotaku or what but there was some sort of leak about possible Rage DLC. Something about a new faction.

Not like we'd get either game in the near future. I cant remember a game thatwas released the same year it was announced.

If it was announced tomorrow,i'd pencil it in for next christmas at the earlist most likely.

I know alot of people didn't like rage for some reason, but I thought it was a solid game. It was a little linear but I liked the combination of shooting, driving and engineering new items. Definitely looking forward to new content or a sequel.

@6 Rage had great shooting mechanics. But I was hoping for more of an open world settings and less errand-boy tasks... Oh yeah, and the ending felt like they just chopped production and decided to finish the game off lol. But yeah, the game was fun!

@6 Rage was a good game. Graphics, gameplay, sound and the achievements were all solid imo. The problem for me was the story never really grabbed me. Will definetly give Rage 2 a twirl if they do it but I just hope they improve on the writing/story.

Is Rage worth playing? I always intended to pick it up but more and more I'm starting to wonder if I ever actually will.

@11 I think it is a game that everyone should play, it generally is a solid game. With a very good balance between driving, RPG and FPS action, it tries something new and it works out very well. The only thing I would say would be the lack of a story, the length is good but half the time I found the story to be non existent. It really is a game to check out though, considering id Software's reputation with FPS games (more or less inventing the genre) it is a game worth playing.

Oh, they remember Rage now? Because they sure as shit forgot about when it was time to finish the rest of the game. Ending in the middle of a fucking mission is so retarded.

Oh, and they also forgot about it when they were coding proper textures. I have a top of the line gaming PC with the latest drivers for everything and that mother fucker still spent 2 or 3 seconds looking like a goddamn N64 game every time I turned the camera (which is all the time in an FPS).

Well, QuakeCon is next month (Aug. 2 through Aug. 5), so hopefully we'll receive some good info about Doom 4 during that time.

Rage was really good, the online mp was crap. So if they do a sequel, how about good online mp instead of just driving around in those shitty cars.

Doom 4 would be fantastic! Besides Gears, Doom is probably the only shooter franchise which next installment I'd buy on launch. (Knock on wood I didn't forget anything painfully obvious.)

@11 rage was really enjoyable. racing was a bit infuriating but I started on hardcore...and missed two cards for an achievement and had to start from an early save.
The sewer mission dlc was short & pointless (if it allowed you to access old ares to get missing cards it might have been something) but other than that it was definitely fun.

picking up doom BFG edition too, hated no.3 with either flash light or gun option but now they've put a light in the suit (they still don't have duct tape in doom 3 I guess :p) I think I can cope with enemys re-spawning in rooms I had cleared a minute ago.

I sure hope they keep a level design instead of checkpoints and NO regenerating health. Let's not have another Duke fiasco...

Honestly I don't really want a Rage sequel. I think they should bring back the Quake franchise and expand on the nasty cliffhanger that was at the end of Quake 4.

I have no complaints however, towards Doom 4. I'm really excited that's finally going to get released in the near future.

I wish they weren't packaging Doom and Doom II into the BFG edition. I already own them and it's making me feel a little milked for every penny I have.

@36 ... but without Doom and Doom 2, it isn't a collection...

"New release of the Doom collection! A collection of Doom 3 missions that, when played together, make Doom 3!"

While I'd love Rage 2 I think he's talking about the rumored "Scorchers" DLC for Rage.

But Doom 4 cant come soon enough
