Today John Carmack revealed at QuakeCon '08 that the "next Doom" -- which we'll call Doom X, for now -- is in development and looking good. "The next game in the Doom universe is in development," id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead told Kotaku earlier today. "We do have the core of the team working on it, under the direction of Kevin Cloud."
"The next DOOM game will look like it's built on another engine, as it uses three times the horsepower." It'll operate at 30 frames per second. -- 1UP, quoting Carmack
He also said that Doom X's multiplayer will be "more extensive" than Doom 3's. The more advanced graphics do come at a cost, though. In comparison, RAGE runs at 60 frames per second.
"We are working on what the story is going to be for the game right now, the logo (shown during QuakeCon) didn’t have a four or a subtitle. We haven’t made the decision about that yet. There is probably a let's not make a numeral game and some say we should make it one."
