Interesting that they're moving on to id Tech 7 already; Doom 2016 was the debut game for id Tech 6 just a couple years ago, and not many other games used it. By comparison, there were seven years between id Tech 4 and 5, and five years between id Tech 5 and 6.

At any rate I'm very glad games like this and Doom 2016 exist; in an era where the FPS genre has largely devolved into barely interactive scripted setpieces and crouching behind a piece of chest high rubble waiting for the strawberry jam to wash out of my character's eyes, it's great that games like these go back to the fast-paced, over-the-top gameplay that made the old school FPS classics so fun.
