For those of you (Ok, all of us) just waiting for anything related to DOOM to come out, Here's a desktop snapshot from Jim Dose' of id Software working on the DOOM "tech demo". It's interesting that they are working on something being called tech demo at this point. Generally speaking you dont label something a demo unless you plan on demonstrating it to someone. A while back Well-Rounded talked to someone who claimed id was not going to be showing DOOM at E3 next month, but the next day the CEO of id Software Todd Hollenshead put out a statement saying that wasnt certain just yet.

"I don't know where that came from because no one here has the job title of "spokesman". Still, I doubt we will show anything from DOOM at E3 this year."

Maybe they just like to label internal builds "tech demo" for the hell of it, or they show it to hardware vendors and the like and it's not for public viewing, or it could or maybe we could get lucky next month at E3. The dutch guy and I will be there making sure! update: Looks like it wont be at E3 for sure now. Oh well. Here is what Christian Antkow just sent me:

That's the startup screen we used at Macworld. It has not changed since then. We have no plans on releasing a techdemo in the forseeable future, nor do we plan on showing any DOOM technology at E3.

Damn, I thought we saw the startup screen for Macworld which was that id logo deal. At least we can count on Nintendo showing off all the new pokemon products at E3.
