id Software CEO Todd Hollenshead expressed interest in producing another feature film adaptation of the developer’s Doom shooter series, the developer told Kotaku.

"Personally I’d like to do another Doom movie, I thought working with it was a blast," Hollenshead said. "There are some lessons we learned. The best way to do things better is to get the experience."

Doom was first brought to the big screen by director Andrzej Bartkowiak and Universal Pictures in 2005. The film, which starred Karl Urban and wrestler-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, was released to mostly negative reviews and fan backlash following significant changes to the core mythology of the hell-spawn shooter series.

"We’ll see what happens when we get further along in development of [Doom 4] and there’s more buzz and we share more about what the game will be about," Hollenshead added,

The CEO further noted that the decision would fall to Doom distributor Universal, which owns the rights to the movie and any possible sequels. "As the buzz meter starts to go up that may kind of kick start the guys over at Universal."

Doom 4 may not be called Doom 4

While id has remained rather tight-lipped about Doom 4, designer Tim Willits has suggested that the shooter sequel won’t be known as Doom 4 when it eventually hits.

Though still clearly labeled Doom, the game will sport a subtitle instead of a numeral, Willits informed Big Download.

However, id CEO Todd Hollenshead claims that a final judgment has yet to be made in the numeral versus subtitle debate. "We haven’t made the decision about that yet," he told Kotaku. "There is probably a let’s not make a numeral game and some say we should make it one."

Willits further noted that Doom 4 will not be a direct sequel to Doom 3, as Doom 3 reimagined the storyline of the original Doom, but refused to offer any additional details.

Announced as Doom 4 back in May, the game is slated to use the same id Tech 5 technology that powers Rage (PC, PS3, 360, Mac), but is said to look like it uses "a totally new game engine" as it will run at 30 frames per second instead of Rage’s 60.

No platforms have been announced for Doom 4, though id Tech 5 can run the exact

However, according to Carmack, the focus will mainly be on creating a solid gameplay experience. Carmack also reiterated that the Doom 4 will most assuredly be M-rated, and that the game’s multiplayer modes will be more extensive than those in Doom 3.

id is targeting a release within this console generation, as the game is expected to hit on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC.
