Whatever form the next game in the Doom saga takes, it will do so with a name other than simply Doom IV. id's Tim Willits told Big Download during this week's QuakeCon that the previously revealed Doom sequel will still have Doom in the title, but will adopt some form of hellish subtitle instead of a number, roman numeral or otherwise.
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.

I hope its a real Doom game this time.
Doom 3 wasn't bad, but it wasn't a Doom game. It was more of a Resident Evil: Survivor game.
I want massive, otherworldly, physically impossible environments, fast combat against dozens of enemies, huge interactive areas, gigantic bosses.
I don't want running down small, restrictive corridors the whole time and battling enemies one or two at a time.
