Kotaku: Five Years And Nothing To Show: How Doom 4 Got Off Track

The point of it is that Doom IV got has now been rebooted once, and is on track for next gen consoles. But, they've got a very long way to go. That the Doom IV project, has had bad management, and communication problems.

Polygon: Doom 4 development reportedly rebooted in late 2011, now set for next-gen consoles

John Carmack got up in front of everyone and said something like, "Doom means two things: demons and shotguns."

Its a very interesting read, and I don't do it justice, so I just won't care to quote much.

But I made sure to make this a blog post because the Doom 1 demo, and Mortal Kombat 1 on floppy, are the things I grew up on. And then Amazon Trail. I only expect the best from Doom IV. And next-gen RAM and blu-ray and such, should create plenty of room to innovate on. I just hope they have enough fucking good, young guns and engineers, to do it justice. : /
