Doom 4 Reportedly Planned for Next-Gen, Rage 2 Canceled
Bethesda has confirmed that a version of Doom 4 was scrapped and has been restarted in a different form.
“An earlier version of Doom 4 did not exhibit the quality and excitement that Id and Bethesda intend to deliver and that Doom fans worldwide expect,” Bethesda's VP of marketing and public relations Pete Hines told Kotaku. “As a result, Id refocused its efforts on a new version of Doom 4 that promises to meet the very high expectations everyone has for this game and this franchise. When we’re ready to talk about the Doom 4 Id is making, we will let folks know.”
Kotaku further reports that Doom 4 is now planned for next-generation consoles but “the actual release date is up in the air.” The title reportedly began as a Call of Duty-style shooter but has since evolved past that. The team behind 2011’s Rage was allegedly working on Rage 2 but that project has since been canceled and the team has now joined Doom 4 development. Kotaku’s source is optimistic that the game will eventually see the light of day despite development turmoil.
Doom 4 was originally announced back in 2008 but Id has been mostly quiet ever since. In 2011, Id president Todd Hollenshead said “what we're really focused on is getting Rage out the door. Once we're to that point, then we want to transition to how we're going to present Doom 4, what are the talking points, how do we introduce it. Because that stuff hasn't even been determined yet. We're talking about that internally."

Call of Duty- style Doom... glad they scrapped it.
