Well,its been officially unveiled now.
It's just gonna be called 'Doom'.
No release date yet though.

After years of waiting, the fourth iteration of Doom has been officially unveiled, detailed, and named. Called simply Doom, this game brings the story back to the beginning. It's an origin story.

At this year's QuakeCon conference, id Software showed off the new game, finally detailing what exactly we can expect. It focuses on fast-paced combat and it takes place on Mars, outside of a Union Aerospace Corporation building. You'll be using melee combat a lot, and combat is brutal. Id is designing crazy enemies and weapons, and you'll be able to carry around a large arsenal "all at the same time," executive producer Marty Stratton said.

Doom looks to be especially violent. During one section of the demo id presented, the player ripped an arm off of a guard to get through a biometric scanner. The player proceeded to then wield a chainsaw, wreaking havoc.

Hopefully it lives up to the original Doom. I didn't hate Doom 3 or anything but it was not Doom.

I think that a lot of people feel that way, including myself. I remember playing the first Doom when it came out and I had never experienced anything like it. I'm afraid for people like me it will be hard to live up to. It helped define a gaming genre and when you add that to the nostalgia factor, the bar is set way to high. The new Wolfenstein was pretty good. I just hope they don't pull a Duke Nukem Forever.

I damn well hope not.Im REALLY looking forward to seeing how this turns out.

Having never played Doom 3 I got the PS3 ed of Doom 3 BFG Edition when it was released. A little dated maybe but I still think it was fun.
Also great it includes expansions and classic Doom and Doom 2 as well.
