Doom Reboot Won't be Seen Again This Year
-----------After last week's QuakeCon reveal developer id SOftware is getting back to work on its rebooted shooter.
Pete Hines, PR and marketing boss for Doom publisher Bethesda revealed that Doom is not yet ready for a proper reveal. "Next year is normally when I think we would've started," Hines said. Reports of problems that have surfaced pushed id Software to show some of the unfinished game.
"We're working with them to say, 'How does this work? What do we want to show?'" Hines explained. "And they're like, 'Look, we don't want a stream to go up for a game that isn't at the point where we would formally show it to the world, and now that thing is getting picked apart, and digested, and gone through frame-by-frame and getting nitpicked to death, when normally we wouldn't be showing this to anybody at all.'"
"I really wanted to put something out there that, in a strong way, said, 'id is working on something that we think is really cool.' And we wanted ... to show something to [id Software fans] that gives them the confidence that it is still a viable studio that's doing really cool stuff, that is making a game you want to play, and is treating Doom with the care and respect that you want."
"And now we're going to go away and go back to making the game, but to be able to counter other people talking about us and we're sort of just sitting here staying silent, or operating from this negative space of like, 'Oh, it got rebooted, oh it's in trouble.' All of that stuff just bothered the hell out of me."
