Wolfenstein 2009/2010

Continuation from Return to Castle Wolfenstein, uses a Rainbow Six Vegas style cover system but other than that classic gameplay with huge open environments. I just hope it holds a candle to RtcW. Developed by Raven but executively produced by id.

RAGE 2009/2010

Post-Apocalyptic Mad Max style FPS/Racer hybrid. Rated T for Teen and produced by EA... a series of odd combinations for id, but it looks promising.

Doom 4 2010/TBA

Was just officially announced at Quakecon 08. We don't really know anything about it other than the fact that it's coming out, but if we're to base anything off this quote I think we might be playing the Doom game we've been waiting for since Doom 2. It's on Earth once again, not some space station, but full on hell on earth action in the next gen:

"Doom is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next installment of our flagship franchise to Earth," said id CEO Todd Hollenshead in a statement.

So, discuss what you think about these three titles, what you hope to see in the next iterations of Wolf and Doom, and perhaps a new Enemy Territory for the new Wolfenstein? I think most can agree Quake Wars was a more than a bit of a letdown and didn't really compare with the RtcW ET.

    Rage looks cool but Doom 4 and Wolfenstein both get a meh.

    Wolf : I could take it or leave it, the wide open idea scares me a bit. Just give me Enemy Territory 2, ok? ET is god. (Quake Wars DOESN'T COUNT!!)

    RAGE : I want this game so hard, looks like they've created a very cool game world.

    Doom 4 : Please be run and gun... But I'm sad because I doubt they will.

    How the hell does a cover system work in first person? Not played Vegas.

    There's a thing in the rules thread about posting just because it's not on the first page. *shrugs* You should probably check it out for future reference.

    Looking forward to all 3 games actually

    I think all wolfenstein games were very fun. I hope they bring a better endbattle this time, and maybe less zombies and more soldiers

    Basically picture a third person shooter like Gears or any game that uses cover, only when you're doing anything besides being in cover its just first person. When you run into a wall it zooms out and you shoot in third person mode and stuff. Kind of lame but we'll see how it is in this game, the only game its ever worked in was Vegas.

    My arousal level is now: Cautiously optimistic.
