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!

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.

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.

Q4 sucked without being dumbed down.

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 ) and traded it for FarCry.

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

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.
