‘A demon just ripped the player’s arms off and beat him to death with them’

Bethesda said its big reveal ofDoom— that is in fact “Doom,” not “Doom 4” — at QuakeConwould be for attendees only, not for us Internet ne’er-do-wells, but I still watched the QuakeCon stream like a sucker, anyway. When it came time for theDoompart of the presentation, id Software’s Tim Willits waved goodbye and the stream went offline. They really meant it!

Shaky-cam footage hasn’t shown up yet (it will; it must) but people have been livetweeting about the event’s single-player demonstration. No footage, but plenty of details to go on for now:
