Yet another franchise that just won't die.
id Software has announced that it has started production on the next DOOM game and is currently hiring fresh talent for the task.
“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. 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," said Todd Hollenshead, id CEO.
DOOM is a practically a trademark, having once been rated “one of the ten most influential games of the decade” by PC Gamer. But having already suffered a horrible movie adaptation and currently in line to experience a sequel, which will no doubt be just as pathetic, isn't it time to let the franchise rest? It's had a good run.

A co-worker, who shall remain anonymous, had this to say about the upcoming DOOM game:
"DOOM 3 was ew....4 will be ew too I bet."
Honestly, doesn't id have anything better to do? You know, like better games to make. All they brought to the table in DOOM 3 was a series of cookie cutter monsters ripped out of every sci-fi horror survival etc. video game.
