Carmack: Doom 4 will be more 'cinematic'

While Rage has been getting all the attention from id Software’s stable, John Carmack has started talking about the next game in the prototypical first person shooter series, Doom 4, and has promised that it will be “more cinematic”.

In an interview with NowGamer, Carmack revealed, ”You can’t control the cinematic experiences as well (in first-person), but you do get that level of intensity, and that level of shock and surprise where it’s not you watching the guy on the screen, it’s projecting you into the game. That’s the core value of it, and that’s still what we’re working on… Doom 4 is more of a cinematic experience - but Rage is very much the immersive, intensive experience.”

When comparing Doom 4 to Rage, Carmack said, ”We’re certainly branching out with the other products,” he added. ”Doom 4 is more of a cinematic experience – but Rage is very much the classic exciting, immersive, intensive experience. And I think it’s a stable genre, and I think there’ll be FPSs forever after, and I’m happy with that legacy.”
