For your information: Heretic and Hexen are primary Raven games. Since
it's using an enhanced (or rather degraded) version of the Doom-engine,
id might have helped out a bit too though.

As for the screenshots: I don't get my hopes up. Heretic sucked... and it
looks like Raven simply put in some more weapons and monsters. And just
as in Heretic the wepons don't look convincing at all. I prefer a 
shotgun anytime! The monsters lack character somehow... and the caped
crucaders I see during deathmatch are actually quite hilarious.

id should never have given its engine to Raven... but well, what's done
is done. And I don't *have* to play the game *grin* I do hope though
that Strife makes a better use of id's Doom-engine.

Greetz,
