What developer would you trust with the Doom IP?

Let's say that Id decides to have another game studio develop the next Doom game, with them as supervisors, similar to how they did with Quake 4 and Return To Castle Wolfenstein. Which developer do you think would be best for the job?

I'm going with Zortch developer Mutantleg who did a great job with that game. I just think that if there's gonna be another Doom game might as well be a proper boomer shooter made by a small team on a shoestring budget. Or better yet, Cruelty Squad developer Consumer Softproducts. Basically I just want to take a very valuable IP and give it to to a small developer that could never afford it otherwise and see what happens. Maybe a Capstone Software revival would be a better way to have fun

New Blood Interactive

EA

Romero

I would say Raven Software 

Roundhouse Studios (Has original Hexen devs there), but no one knows what they've been working on since they were founded and acquired by Bethesda after the Rune 2 fiasco.

Romero

Since he's former id, would he count as different?

 

Bit of OT, but

Return To Castle Wolfenstein

I believe id should reboot Wolfenstein properly

1) Bribe Dragonfly into doing Eviternity 3 and release it as Doom 6

2) Refuse to elaborate

well. in my experience, John (THE ROMERO) _is_ different.

Raven did pretty well with Quake 4, all things considered. I would trust them to make something akin to Doom's horror roots and in the direction that D64 and D3 were going in.

LucasArts

Doomworld

I know its been a really long time since then and the company probably has very few of the same people there anymore, but I really liked pretty much all of Raven's Xbox 360 day output. Wolfenstein 2009, Quake 4, Singularity, I loved them all. Only one of them is still available today and in bad shape on modern systems..

 

I always wanted to see them tackle a Doom game back then, but it never happened.

 

Rockstar. They have the same it’s done when it’s done mentality 

I would have to say Ubisoft.

From software.

They would do their thing, not a mere product.

Probably Machine Games, or The Astronauts (ex-People Can Fly devs).

Except I would never like to see Rockstar get anywhere near Doom because of how much anti-modding they are. F**K Rockstar

 

Honestly, I think either Nightdive or New Blood would be the best.

 

Machine Games are another decent choice given their level design work on Quake 1 and 2's expansion episodes. Raven Software could've been a decent choice too, if only they weren't damned to work in the CoD mines.

Nightdive, Machinegames, Raven Software if they can somehow escape CoD, 3D Realms

That’s a good point. They aren't as open minded in that sense.

The current 3D Realms is only a publisher. And their development studio, Slipgate Ironworks, seems to be struggling, with their projects such as Graven, Kingpin: Reloaded, and Phantom Fury suffering from delays, poor quality, and rushed development.
