After announcing the title at the annual Id convention QuakeCon, Id staffers John Carmack and Todd Hollenshead went on to boast that Doom 4's Tech5 engine will push PCs to their limit...which means it will look really, really pretty. Well, pretty in the mangled-demon-rising-from-the-bloody-maw-of-hell kind of way.
The game is tentatively set for a third-quarter release in 2009. Maybe this time Trent Reznor will actually do the music. You know, like this thing wasn't already going to give us nightmares.
