Doom 4 Announcement Jumps Out From Hidden Room, Surprises No One
According to a post on the id Software homepage, production has begun on Doom 4. This time, the battle moves from Mars to Earth.
The last Doom game drove sales of the first generation of DirectX 9 video cards, can Doom 4 do something similar for DirectX 10? More importantly, will it be able to overcome the shadow of Doom 3's lackluster "stuff jumping out at you from secret hidden doors" gameplay? (Yeah it was scary at first, then it just got predictable).
Even more critical, does this mean another movie with The Rock? Now THAT's scary.

Other stuff like this: Doom, Id software
I'd be surprised if this drove DX10 card sales because of its inexcusable lock-in with Vista only. So many people hate Vista (me included) that I'd avoid it just on principle.
And many developers are doing pretty much the same stuff visually in DX9 that MS promises in DX10. Having played the same games in both DX9 and DX10 I can say it's not much of a difference. Certainly not worth the headache of using Vista.
