It helps to have source links when you post pictures, so I'll post this:

There's also link to download all 170 pics of the supposed Doom 4 leaks:

I'll give it a going over and post my thoughts after my download is done.  :doomed:

Judging by the pictures - including one with a Doom³ billboard off in the background, this does look like Doom 4 material.  The environment looks superb.  I've not seen this level of "population center is seriously fubar due to end of the world" since I played Legendary.  A lot of the gray models used for world geometry show organic-looking stuff that was present in Doom³.  This looks like it's going to be a Hell on Earth game as Doom II was.

I just hope there's plenty of run and gun action and no freaking health regen.

The artwork is all very impressive, but nothing really screams "Doom" to me. There are some more Hellish looking touches here and there, but the majority of the material could be from just about anything.

Hell on Earth would be the way to go, story wise. Though I have this dread that it would end up as a bunch of scripted events following the human resistance into battle every level. It'd be like... Call of Duty! :!:

Now that... that is scary. :omfg:

That would be terrible.  There was already a pretty good game that had a hell on earth atmosphere though: painkiller.

I just looked through the artwork, and got the same feeling you did, vampyra.  I'll hold my tongue and hope for the best.  There was so much talk about d3 being too dark, too cramped -- well I liked that about it.

Judging by these photos, d4 probably will be atmospheric, but what atmosphere... who knows at this point.  Looking at it, it really did remind me of painkiller now... and hl2.

Keep in mind too that a leak like this shows very little of what the game might be.  A city in ruins tends to look like, well, a city in ruins.  Throw in some lava and minor organic stuff and it still looks like a ruined city.  For it to look like "Doom" there would have to be some UAC facility-like areas, and some more hellish-looking areas.  It also doesn't look like Doom without demons to populate the environment.  I will say that I like the direction that this could go.  If it becomes Call of Doomy then... yes, the world will end this year.  I'll make sure of it.  :doomed:

That's why I'm hoping for the best.  While I was looking through the pictures, I tried to imagine demons spawning in and maybe going inside the building where it could be dark and cramped, or perhaps even the sky going black.

 The city-on-fire could be used as some type of skybox during the main game. Along with everyone else, I'll hope for the best. :doom_thumb:

That would be a game to have! But my PC wouldn't be able to run it  :( . I hope they put it out for xbox... but not a dumbed down version like Q4... that sucked  :(

Q4 sucked without being dumbed down.  :surprise:

I agree, Quake 4 sucked. :evil:

Well q4 was atleast worthy of playing once :P

I did. I only played first 5 levels/missions, then I got bored. :\
Also this may sound stupid but I never played Doom 3. Mainly because I didn't had Doom 3 but I only had RoE (the expansion) and it required full Doom 3. That was my dad's fault when bought the game (few years ago), didn't know that expansions required full games.

 Yep, after playing Q4 at a friends, I bought the game only for the Q2 bonus. I returned it (Only with Q4 in it :ninja:) and traded it for FarCry.

Q4 was... about as generic as you can while still retaining some miniscule increment of creativity.

They made a few major mistakes with Q4, and the first one I can mention is spoiling a major plot element in the advertisement of the game.  The second, which I think is the most critical, was the re-imagining of the Strogg.  The Strogg in Quake 2 had a distinctive look and feel, as did the whole game.  Q4 had plenty of cyborgs, but they didn't look or act anything like the Strogg we loved in Quake 2.  The whole atmosphere was wrong.  Duke Nukem Forever did a much better job of staying true to the look and feel of its alien enemies and for the most part the weapons.  As much as the game was panned by critics that's one thing they got absolutely right.  Q4 did it completely backwards.  They re-imagined when they didn't need to.  Doom 3 was Id re-imagining their own game, which is why it turned out better.  Raven took the wrong path there.  They also went backward with the design.  Q2's hub system for missions was great, and Raven could have really expanded on it.

To be honest I never noticed much of a hub system in Q2, but yeah, ID shouldn't be trusting anyone else with any more Quake games, except for maybe spinoffs like enemy territory.

 I'd definitely like to see a quake 4 remake for the better.

While we are at, I've seen many fan games/remakes based off original games, one example could be Hexen Edge of Chaos.

Unfortunately, it requires Doom 3 full in order to be played in mods list menu. :wall:

Tbh id like to see another game based on the q1 universe :)

Q1 FTW! ;)

The Doom 3 engine seems like it would have been perfect for just that. Alas, it was not to be.

I thought the same thing.  Doom 3 had to offer just what Q1 needs:  Shadows, darkness, creepy ambience... the engine was perfect for a Q1 remake.

And more brown.  :P

Oh wait, I found another cool remake: Shambler's Castle! Another Doom 3 mod which is based off Quake 1.

Shambler's Castle is pretty impressive. I remember playing it quite a while back. It certainly shows what a new Quake could be like. However, I didn't feel that the level design was what I'd want from Quake. Not a lot of traps or clever secrets.
