Eternal Doom = Doom Eternal?

[FelixTheWolf]

We might never know.

I swear their plan must be to sabotage search results. First Doom vs Doom and now Doom Eternal vs Eternal Doom. Is it that hard to pick a unique name?

<Marty> what should we call the new Doom?

<Hugo> hmm we should avoid any existing community mod names...

<Marty> let's get a list of them then *looks at DoomWiki*

<Hugo> How many are there?

<Marty> About 5000...

<Hugo> Yeah fuck that.

Before E3, my friends were quite confident it would be called Doom Resurrection, even after I told them it was already the name of a spinoff game. And Compendium has only recently brought the fact that it was also a PWAD to my attention.

At least it's not going to be called Doom 2. That would just be needlessly confusing. The name they did choose was similar to the name of a late 90's mod. It's no big deal, really and they probably didn't even know Eternal Doom existed.

On the contrary, Eternal Doom gets more attention after release of Doom Eternal.

Call it what it is. DooM 5.

Doom 3 = Doom 1

Doom 4 = Doom 1

Doom 5 = Doom 2

 

There's a reason they abandoned numbered releases.
