How could I have missed this thread!
I've wanted to post about this for a while, though I'm not sure anyone will either bother read it nor respond.
First, I believe the hate that the later games that id software develops are unwarranted. My opinion is that you cannot put cars, tanks, and all kind of deeply story driven variables into a DOOM IP and think that it will be true to the DOOM legacy. The flashlight get more shit than anything else in the game. Do you not think they didn't sit in a board room and discuss the pros and cons of having a flashlight compared to a top mount light? Being forced to use a flashlight is better in my opinion because it brings that sense of exploration and excitement where the top mount light wouldn't. It's just you and a light, it's fairly symbolic, but probably over peoples heads. I think DOOM 3 went far enough to keep things interesting, but still a point A--->B shooter.
So, my expectations for DOOM 4 are what I think D3 lacked...action. The original DOOM was about heart pounding action, rolling over hundreds of demons, zombies, etc. Though there were tense scenes in D3, they were nowhere near the shear the action oriented, over the top, insane play. Also, I'd like to move the level design to not only the techno feel, but the organic, earthy, mystic, gore vibe in the original DOOM series.
I’ll expect id software’s tight controls, best graphics/sound in the industry, and a great story. I know what I’m getting when I pick up an id title – plain fun and a complete package.
While we’re on the subject, my theory is that RAGE was an IP created to shut people up who complained of D3 not having vehicles or that the levels are too dark, etc. It’s almost as if id software has created this title so that DOOM 4 can be true to its roots without people freaking over it.
But I’m an [id] fan boy. They changed an industry with their bare hands.

thank you!!!
Now that you mention it... I was on an AGP4x bus, though I don't think Doom 3 was quite that bandwidth intensive.
Yep. If they make it, I'll play it. Can't get any simpler than that.
Sounds like you just described Bioshock.
And i loved me some Bioshock. Just could not get into D4, the stupid darkness was such a turn off, i just stopped playing. Even now, i have no desire at all to play it. I'd rather play through Bioshock again. Of NOLF. Or the originals (updated of course).What's sad is i so wanted to love D4. I really feel let down by ID, because they changed to game too much to really call it a doom game.

FYI - DOOM 4 isn't out yet. What are these mods smoking?
Just the anticipation itself is going to make this game sell like crazy. I think it'll be what MGS4 was for PS3... people are going to want a PC to play Doom 4 on. I know i'll be upgrading around that time. Also I just remembered as far as KB+M goes, they could very easily make Doom 4 for PS3 work with KB+M just like Unreal Tournament 3. But, i'm defidently going to get it for PC.
Dur dur dur... Yeah, i just pulled a concentrated stupid. Sorry about that, replace D4 with D3 in the post i made above...

Change D4 to D3 and it all makes sense!
