Doom IV getting name change operation
The designer noted that the decision was made, at least in part, because the fourth game in the series will not be a continuation of the events seen in Doom III and its expansion. As for what we can expect from the forthcoming Doom something something, who's to say, though it'll probably involve demons, a shotgun and -- if Doom III was any indication -- us wetting the bed.

+10 points for Zim referrence!!

Invader Zim is some crazy shit.
I was watching it last summer, contemplating why something so dark, hilarious, and inappropriate for kids was on Nickelodeon.
Intentless @ Aug 1st 2008 11:11AM
Sadly Nickelodeon said they wanted the story to stress the invasion aspect when the creater Jhonen Vasquez wanted it to focus more on Zim and Dib.
BTW it has nothing on Ren and Stimpy which was on Nick too... It was a later in the evening show, you know, when kids should be in bed...
Mr.ESC @ Aug 1st 2008 11:30AM
The real question is why something so full of win was on Nickelodeon to begin with?
Invader Zim was one of the best shows to ever Air in Nick and it was canceled, same case with Megas XLR (Except this was on CN) both shows were win but they were later canceled and replaced for crap.
In the scout words: Friggin unbelievable, stupid,stupid,stupid.

Man I used to watch that show like 7 years ago. Pretty random, funny though.

I hope that next-gen technology will allow us to carry a flashlight and a gun *at the same time*.
...maybe they can borrow some duct tape from Nintendo.
AtomB @ Aug 1st 2008 1:18PM
we can only hope that this time duct tape can be found

Doom IV would be a fine name - it's not like there was any continuity between Doom II and Doom III anyway.
Can't wait for them to roll out some unbelievably lame Title:Subtitle, though. Here are some suggestions!
Doom: Retribution
Doom: Purification
Doom: Redemption
Doom: Annihilation
Doom: Damnation
and of course,
Doom IV: Electric Boogaloo

Rebooting franchises seems to be the "in thing". It's a good idea imo. Because people who haven't played previous games in a series might be put off jumping in part of the way through.
Ghen @ Aug 1st 2008 2:04PM
DOOM vs DC Universe?
LordChimp @ Aug 1st 2008 11:04AM
Doom 3 had a story line??
Wayne Donaldson @ Aug 1st 2008 11:08AM
It may not have had much of a story line. But people might see "Doom IV" and think "oh, I haven't played the first three, I'll give that a miss. Whereas "Doom: Nukem" might attract new players to the franchise.

It wasn't even brown and gray. Just black.
WRE: I own all 3! (4 if you count the DS.) @ Aug 1st 2008 11:07AM
Suggested titles:
Doom 4: Doomier
Gloom and Doom
Martian/Hell Drift: Doom 4

Doom and Doomer?

The doomiest doom that ever doomed.

Hey! Doom: Doomier was my first thought. I've been beat to the punch!!!!
StrangeBum @ Aug 1st 2008 12:35PM
Doom: Doomer and Doomer-er
WRE: I own all 3! (4 if you count the DS.) @ Aug 1st 2008 12:39PM
Just rip off Die Hard. Duh!
Doom 4: Doom Harder
Live Free or Doom 4
Doom 4: With a Vengeance
Vladeon @ Aug 1st 2008 12:47PM
I think they're just trying to hide the fact that they're taking Doom in a whole other direction. Introducing, Doom: Happy Pony Barbie Express, A table top game of pony rearing and horseback tour tycoonery... through HELL/Mars, now with more water.
xGeneral DEATHx @ Aug 1st 2008 2:04PM
Ponyyyy?
Pony pony pony pony pony...
...Ponyyyyyyy!
Ponyyyyyy...
Hot$auce_Magik @ Aug 1st 2008 11:26AM
I don't see why they can't use the IV. Look at final fantasy for Christs sake. That pile of shit has been a completely different game ever since the first one (minus a few actual sequels), and they always just use numbers.
Disclaimer: Final fantasy games are not by any means piles of shit except for the "Legends" series and Mystic quest. Fuck those games.
CJLopez @ Aug 1st 2008 2:51PM
Legends.... ok
Mystic Quest.... I liked the game, was original, as every FF had been

Doom: World War II

Doom: I meant Quake...
MasterInsan0 @ Aug 1st 2008 4:01PM
That last one = win.
mcatrage @ Aug 1st 2008 11:41AM
So they're going to remake the original again?
Blazur @ Aug 1st 2008 11:43AM
Just make it an acronym. That'll keep people guessing and intrigue them at the same time.
D.O.O.M.

Nick Mosedale @ Aug 1st 2008 2:56PM
Surely it will be....
Doom: Unleashed...
SkreeHunter @ Aug 1st 2008 3:21PM
What!? You can restart a series that you just restarted!
MasterInsan0 @ Aug 1st 2008 4:02PM
I think we're all passing up the obvious here:
Doom 4: Hell on Earth...Again.
Superevil @ Aug 2nd 2008 5:02PM
I was thinking Doom IV: Hell on Earth: Part Deux
Hunts314 @ Aug 1st 2008 5:54PM
Your Crysis Rig is Doomed
J @ Aug 2nd 2008 12:09AM
MasterInsan0 I was just about to say that XD
They should go the route of Rainbow Six, like
Doom Four: Hell on Earth 2!
or how about
Doom 4: Smashing Pumpkins into Small Pieces of Putrid Debris 2
