Doom is one of my faviotes for the original XBox system, Someone told me that they are going to release a new Doom for the PS3 but I am unable to find if that is true or not. Has anyone else know if PS3 is releasing a new Doom game?

There are unconfirmed reports that DOOM4 is in the works, it might be but its back burner right now as that team is making RAGE right now. I think next E3 since RAGE will be out all ready you will hear more about DOOM4 if its coming anytime soon.
The thing to worry about is FPS genre is really unforgiving and cruel now at days. Unless you have exactly what the mass market wants you almost guaranteed to not sell well. Games like DOOM will find an audience, but in order to publish it, it needs to make business sense.
So expect a more mass market friendly DOOM which means probably going to play alot different then previous games in the series.

To be honest, it's kind of wary if we'll ever see Doom 4. Rumoured that it's in the works, I wouldn't be suprised if id works on that after Rage. But, I expect it to use Rage's engine. Why? Most games now are unpopular and low-selling because of linearity. Us gamers don't just wanna be the guy, from Red Dead Revolver (linear but classic PS2 prequel to RDR), we want an open world. We're demanding, and gamers would much rather enjoy an open world game than a linear one. That's not always true (COD, Uncharted, Final Fantasy XIII [Which some people DID hate for its linearity] and these games sell well also), but a lot of linear FPS and TPS get passed because of linearity. I would imagine Doom 4 would be open world, but then again, pople loved the Wolfenstein reboot (which I thought was a fairly good game), and it was half linear.
Let's just hope for a release soon.
