It was no secret Doom 4 spent years in development hell, as best described in Kotaku’s expose on the matter. Yet, in all of that time iD Software spent struggling to produce a game, they must have had a little something to show for it.
Of course they do, but when I see the screenshots from the failed Doom 4, Doom isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. The screenshots look far removed from the series I’m familiar with, and I can’t say I’m disappointed that this isn’t the game we’re getting. With E3 just around the corner, we’ll hopefully see something a little less generic shooter and a little more Doom.
