GDC is almost upon us and everything is expecting lots of news about all the latest games. But did you know that back in January, some rumored Doom 4 screenshots got leaked? The Internet buzz started today after a post at 4Chan – and that’s why we’ve decided to mark this as a rumor and nothing more – and we wouldn’t really pay attention to them. After all, the 4Chan dude claimed that Doom 4 was cancelled, when in fact Bethesda has already stated that the game is still under development. Did you know however that the following screenshots appeared first on Playware Games’ Community section? According to them – back then – the game was not cancelled but these were supposed to be leaked screenshots of Doom 4 that were present in the portfolio of one of the game’s artists. This could be true, but as always, take everything with a grain of salt, as the following shots look similar to RAGE. Could Doom 4 take place on Earth, like in Doom 2? Or could these screenshots be unused assets from RAGE? Continue reading Rumor: Is this how Doom 4 is supposed to look like?→
Now this is why we love modders. Modder ‘theonebutcher’ has been working for a little while on a corridor space map that looks very similar to the ones found in Doom 3. This map comes with custom assets and the level of detail is simply astonishing. This map could very well be a glimpse of how Doom 3 (or even the upcoming new Doom game) would look like in CryEngine 3. CryEngine 3 is an amazing engine with so much potential and we really hope that more developers will license and put it into good use. Enjoy!

Mapper ‘Cleric’ has released some new screenshots from his Quake map that is under development for Crysis 2. This is basically a re-imagining of Quake’s first level and uses some of the assets found in iD Software’s classic shooter, like the ammo crates and the button switches. This is an excellent work and Cleric deserves the spotlight as the map will be finished soon. Enjoy the screenshots after the jump! Continue reading New screenshots from Crysis 2’s Quake map→
Modder Slav released today his single-player mod for iD Software’s little gem, Doom 3. ‘Torn’ is a single-player dark-fantasy modification for Doom 3. Its gameplay consists mainly of first-person puzzle solving with some action and platforming mixed in. This is not your usual Doom 3, so feel free to go ahead and give it a try, especially if you’re fans of puzzle-solving games. Continue reading Doom III: Torn Mod Released→
Better late than never I guess. AMD’s Catalyst Creator hinted today to RAGE’s upcoming patch that will most probably be released alongside the game’s level editor at the end of this month. This new patch will include a texture sharpening option that was promised by John Carmack some months ago. Well, to be more precise, we assume that this feature will be included but since this is iD Software and Bethesda we are talking about. Continue reading AMD’s Catalyst Creator hints to RAGE’s upcoming patch; Catalyst 12.1a preview released→
Ah, RAGE. A game with so potential that was never meant to be released in its current state on the PC. You’d think that iD Software would try their best to redeem themselves and fix it in due time, right? Well, apparently iD Software has other plans. Either that or they are waiting for the ‘right moment’ to release the next patch (that will include a sharpening option for the game’s textures) and its level editor to the PC. Continue reading RAGE – News about the PC Level Editor coming this month→

Remember when John Carmack tweeted that a new patch for RAGE PC would be made available? Well, it’s been two months and we haven’t seen it yet. Not only that but we haven’t seen the level editor that was supposed to be included in the final version of RAGE. Speculations begun spreading; did iD Software abandon us? Well, apparently not as we have some brand new information about the state of both the level editor and the promised patch, so keep reading. Continue reading RAGE – PC Level Editor and Patch Still Coming→
Eighteen years ago, a first person shooter came to change the way we perceive video games today. A small gaming studio in Texas, a bunch of gamers with a passion and a vision released a shareware version of their latest game that became a hit in due time. The legendary Doom, the daddy of all FPS and successor to our beloved Wolfenstein, got released. Eighteen years since its first appearance and this bad boy is still one of our favourite FPS as it reminds us of what FPS games were back in the days.
