ID Software company, known for such masterpieces as Quake, Doom series and many other games has announced about production of Doom 4!
"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 Software CEO Todd Hollenshead in a release.
"It’s critical for id Software to have the best creative minds in-house to develop games that meet the standards synonymous with our titles."
The company now searches for some producers, lead designers and lead animators.
Kevin Cloud recently told that one of the strengths of the company’s new engine is its cross-platform performance:
"You don’t even have to worry about how it’s going to look on PS3 or 360. Right now we’ve got it running cross-platform running 60 hertz, and it looks really good," said Cloud. "In terms of what artists are available to achieve–it’s something you have to see for yourself. I can say this, but you still won’t get it until you see it."
id will be hosting the 13th annual QuakeCon convention on July 31.
