id Software has just announced that it’s making Doom 4. While details are scant, it’s not a stretch to assume that the game is in production for PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
“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,” said id CEO Todd Hollenshead.
The announcement comes in time for QuakeCon, which will be held July 31.
In addition to Doom 4, id is also working on the original IP Rage (a post-apocalyptic adventure) and the multiplayer-only Quake LIVE.

Quake Live has opened its gates for a beta test! If you don`t know what Quake Live is, I will make it short, Quake Live is Quake 3 built into your web browser! That means that you will never ever need to buy the original game, because it will wait for you on your favorite website. That website is actually QuakeLive.com.
Even better, id Software opened sign ups for a beta test, so if you want, you can go to QuakeLive.com and add your email there. Than you can only wait and pray that you will be chosen. Good luck!
