Discuss.

Whatever it is, it'll be released eventually and maybe then I am interested. I hate this teasing of things, it's getting ridiculous these days. Teaser Trailer for the release of an actual Teaser Trailer for example.

I think it's kind of clear what it is. I believe it's an expansion to The Ultimate Doom - an Episode 5. Would really fit for the 25th anniversary. Not sure how I feel about accepting "pre-orders." Skeptical on what that's all about. But we'll see.

A fifth episode for Doom would indeed be awesome then..

[Touchdown]

Let me guess, yet another game that'll never be released?

Read the dispatch. The project is more or less finished. It's clearly Doom related and it is most likely an Episode 5.

Honestly? I'll take Community love over a failed kickstarter.

[Touchdown]

Oh, so it'll be another set of overrated levels that'll get a ton of attention and praise just because Romero made it. Ok.

 

Also how do we know it's "clearly" DOOM related? Why would you have to pre-order an episode for DOOM1? Does Romero have a deal with Zenimax to re-release DOOM (again) with a new episode?

[Vermil]

interested to see what it has to do with doom.

[Gerardo194]

Can't wait! I'm so hyped by knowing this! 

[Avoozl]

Why does that hand make me think of Blood?

[Doom64hunter]

Are we getting "The Ultimate Doom: World Tour"?

 

[DynamiteKaitorn]

5.

 

Episode 5 or DooM 5 (DooM Eternal related?)

[DooM_RO]

It's obviously Blood 5.

 

On a more serious note, can anyone tell what's going on on that whiteboard?

fallout 5. on original doom engine.

/topic

[elend]

I can‘t make out anything on this whiteboard. We need @hidfan and his neural upscale... :)

[yakfak]

hell yes I have been waiting for a fifth Daikatana episode

[crazyflyingdonut]

It's the last unfinished episode of Commander Keen.

[Loud Silence]

Blackroom + Blood's source code.

If it's a legit "Episode 5" for the original Doom (á la Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour) I swear to god I'll... do... something.

 

EDIT: The whiteboard appears to have the words "5 Core Elements In Games" on it, so I don't know if this is an indicator of what's coming. It's got a few instances of literally the words "More words" as well, implying the whiteboard could in fact be a massive red herring written in nonsense. Would need a higher-res image of it.

I wonder what theme would be used.....

urban? ish

[ReX]

Maybe it's a game that will be available for 5 bucks. Heh.

[SOSU]

1.Doom 1
2.Doom 2
Final Doom:
3.Plutonia
4.Evilution

 

He will make a whole new Megawad xD

[Loud Silence]

I have a dream that all original ID Software members come back together and make something magic again.

[Doom_Dude]

The Ultimate Doom Art Book... preorder for only $5.

[Gothic]

[TheMightyHeracross]

It will not be E5 because he said it will be a "pre-order," implying payment. He would not be allowed to charge money for a Doom episode.

 

My guess is he's using Doom's 25th anniversary promote Blackroom.

[Nancsi]

But what does Blackroom have to do with "5"?

[TheMightyHeracross]

Whatever that means. 

I'm actually a tiny bit pissed since this "5" thing comes off as a bit deceptive. He probably knows people are going to think that it's Doom E5 so it's going to get more attention that way, especially since it's the 25th anniversary.

 

EDIT: HOLY FUCK. John Romero really did make me his bitch...

idk, maybe theres something involving 5 in the game, the Stanley Parable demo had a button with an 8 on it that said 8 whenever you press it, it could be like that. Or maybe it will cost $5, or maybe it will have 5 episodes/
