  • Doom 4 to have "30 demons crawling all over you"

    sector666

    By sector666

    Carmack talks about Doom 4, the future, and many other things in this interview. id is focusing on Doom 4 in two months. "... as soon as Rage ships, the core tech team moves over to start making things happen on the Doom 4 project." Rage ships September 13th.

    Having more demons on screen at once is a priority this time around. They're halving the framerate of single player on the consoles to handle it. Single player "is going to go 30 frames per second on the consoles. So we can have 30 demons crawling all over you on there."

    Also, id won't be making an engine from scratch any time soon. Mostly because doing that for Rage took almost seven years. "We need to make sure that we don't wind up taking that long again. We're not going to tear up that much of the code base probably ever again."

    As long as its 60 fps on pc thats fine, theres probably no point in buying doom 4 for the consoles anyway, if id intends it for the 360 and ps3 I'm assuming they've factored in the fact that by the time doom 4 comes out there will probably be new consoles out.


    There is a point. Not everyone can afford a good gaming PC anymore. That includes me. Parts are overpriced in comparison.

    That I agree with. Intel parts are so damn overpriced it's not even funny. Same with Nvidia and AMD. Even more ridicoulous stuff... you see, they never ever improve the cards for those who can't afford their most expensive monsters. I'm looking at you AMD and your fucking refurbished 5770 with DX11 aka 6770. Don't get me started that a $10-20 more expensive card is fucktons faster due being 256-bit (6790) *sigh*.

    I thought PCs had become much cheaper in the last few years. :P You don't need to get the top of the line parts to have a good rig.
