CVG have learned that British fantasy writer Graham Joyce will be providing his writing talent to the fullest for the sake of making DOOM 3's story a tad more sumptuous. This will hopefully command many more greats in terms of writing and storyline development than what DOOM 3 offered. Here's an excerpt from the article in question:
CVG can confirm that British Fantasy award winning author Graham Joyce is writing the story to the game as you read this, though he had signed his life away and was unable to tell us anything about the direction the game was taking. We did ask. "I can say that ID have hired me to help develop the storyline potential," was all Joyce would give us when contacted.
It sounds good, and hopefully will work to the benefit of DOOM 4's experience.

Big Download had a chat with Tim Willis of id Software, and in that chat it's been confirmed that DOOM 4's title won't be DOOM 4, but instead it'll have a subtitle since it's not a continuation of the current DOOM story. Here's a select portion from the article:
Why did they decide to make this move? Part of the reason is that the fourth Doom game will not be a continuation of the storyline for Doom III, according to Willits. Doom III was basically a "reimagining" of the first Doom game's storyline (a la the revamped Battlestar Galactica). So willl the fourth Doom game be a continuation of, say, Doom II's Earth invasion? Willits wasn't giving up any story ideas yet.

Whilst DOOM 4 was not shown at this year's QuakeCon, John Carmack has said that it is to be three times better in terms of graphics than Rage will be because it's to be locked at 30FPS, amongst other things:
Carmack later said clarified his comments, adding that the PC would have advanced so much by the time Doom 4 comes out that while the game will be 30fps locked on console, it could be 60fps or higher on PC, so "PC will be able to crow a bit over the consoles again".
Todd Hollenshead, id CEO, couldn't say much about the game. "I can tell you there will be guns. I can tell you there will be blood. I can tell you there will be demons. I can tell you there will be gibs. In other words, I can tell you it's going to be kickass, because it couldn't be anything else right?" he joked.
Check out the rest at Eurogamer.

id Software have just announced they've started working on a new Doom game. From their website:
Production has begun on DOOM 4â„¢, the next journey into the legendary DOOM universe. We are expanding our internal team and are currently hiring to work on this highly anticipated title.
"DOOM is part of the id Software DNA and demands the greatest talent and brightest minds in the industry to bring the next installment of our flagship franchise to Earth," said Todd Hollenshead, CEO, id Software. "It's critical for id Software to have the best creative minds in-house to develop games that meet the standards synonymous with our titles."
The DOOM franchise is one of the most recognizable and important in gaming history, having been named "one of the ten most influential games of the decade" by PC Gamer and "the #1 game of all time" by GameSpy. DOOM 4 will join the award-winning series which has consistently topped sales charts throughout the world. I'd assume we'd see releases on Windows, Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.

I've had a few e-mails from people trying to get Doom 3 to work properly on Windows Vista. It is possible; in fact it’s easier then getting it running on Windows XP as a standard user.
Windows Vista brings down the box art for Doom 3 to use in the Games Explorer feature.
Like Windows XP, Windows Vista doesn't have native support for OpenGL. It is up to the video driver to provide this support, exactly the same as Windows XP. So you'll need to download the video drivers from the computer manufacturer, most probably ATI or nVidia. Once you've got them installed you'll be able to run OpenGL applications, like Doom 3 and Quake 4.
The final obstacle comes from Doom 3's lack of support for standard user privileges. It stores its save games and configuration files within the Program Files directory, an area which is read only to the standard user. You can get around this by forcing Doom 3 to run as with administrative rights.
You'll want to check the box above, run this program as an administrator, in the compatibility tab in the properties window of either the shortcut or the Doom 3 executable itself (for example right-click the shortcut in the Start Menu, click Properties and then Compatibility). This will tell the system to ask you if you want to elevate when you run it. This will allow Doom 3 to write its configuration files and save games properly.
For users who have an understanding of NTFS permissions you could also grant your user account the required privileges to the Doom 3 folder.
It would however be nice of id Software to patch this behaviour, which is frankly a bad idea even on Windows XP, and store things that need to be written to in a user folder instead.
Any comments or questions can be left on the forums.

From daNEWS.net: Following up on their recent Windows Vista Beta 2 drivers, ATI continue the trend by releasing new drivers for Windows XP they weigh in at 34MB with the full control panel and can be downloaded here. Key points of note for this release include:
- Doom 3: Beginning a new game and selecting the shotgun in the give all console no longer results in corruption being noticed when Ultra Quality is disabled in the in game video quality settings.
- 3DMark05: Running the application with CrossFire enabled and then attempting to hot un-plug and then hot-plug the CRT no longer results in 3DMark05 failing to respond.
- Aquamark 3: Exiting the Start Measurement benchmark test once it is complete no longer results in the display device displaying a black desktop image with only the mouse cursor being available.
- Far Cry: Installing the v1.33 patch and selecting D3D along with setting the display to 1024x768 English no longer results in the operating system failing to respond when running the benchmark.
- Catalyst® Control Center: Enabling clone mode no longer results in the refresh rate being locked at 60Hz when using an ATI Radeon® X700 series product.
- The MCE encoder no longer fails to install after the installation of the ATI display driver, WDM driver, and MMC software.

Herald Sun had a few words with Todd Hollenshead of id Software, regarding the DOOM movie, an aptitude holding new DOOM game, and so on. Here's a snoop:
Why do you think the game has been so successful?
Well, interestingly, I think, Doom has always appealed to an older crowd. Typically and traditionally, id has been a PC-focused developer, and the PC demographics always cue significantly older than the consoles because you are not going to let your kid play around with your $2000-$4000 computer, plus that's not something you necessarily want them to have (laughs) complete control over.
For the rest of the goodies, make sure to read on.

Over at Macgamefiles, they've uploaded a newly released patch for the DOOM 3 Mac OS X port, build 1.3, revision A. This update just so happens to include beta OpenAL surround sound support, improved performance on ATi Radeon series graphics cards, and so forth, as noted in the changelog.
DOOM 3 Mac OS X users, naturally, don't forget to download the actual file which weighs about 12.69MB, to be approximately precise.

BetaNews have confirmed in their CES 2006 coverage report that the DOOM movie will also be released on the next-generation HD-DVD format, some time this year, as noted in the initial title (40 titles, to be precise) lineup: "Jarhead," "Doom," "The 40-Year-Old Virgin," "Cinderella Man," "Serenity" and "The Bourne Supremacy," along with four older flicks: "The Chronicles of Riddick," "U-571," "Van Helsing," and "Apollo 13 [etc]."
Sounds stimulating, to say the least!
