DSOGaming writes: "Earlier yesterday, we posted some brand new leaked screenshots of Doom 4. Although a lot of you are not aware of how these shots got leaked, we are here to tell you the story behind it. In addition, we are bringing you some new artworks, as well as the first leaked music tracks from the game. Keep in mind that both artworks and music are from early development and do not represent the final game in any way."

This is not Doom. It doesn't even look remotely close to a Doom game...

Skate-AK4432d ago

That's probably why he is an ex-artist.

GraveLord4432d ago

Or maybe he got fired once the game was cancelled?THINK.

ZippyZapper4432d ago

Or maybe someone is looking for hits

sorceror1714432d ago

It could be DOOM. The 'eaten buildings' and such look like a 'hellish incursion', given the right color scheme and textures (which we haven't seen, mostly).

If they make it more action-oriented, than survival-horror, it could work as a DOOM update.

OpenGL4432d ago

Well Doom 2 was supposed to take place on earth and there were quite a few levels with burning buildings in the background.

Vynzent4431d ago

@GraveLord, don't be a dumbass, the game wasn't cancelled.

GillHarrison4432d ago (Edited 4432d ago )

Good luck ever getting a job in the gaming industry again. Breaking an NDA is not a joke when it comes to multi-million dollar games like this. This guy would be lucky not to have a lawsuit on hands.

Apocwhen4432d ago

He'll be lucky to get another job too.

Nobody would want an employee on their hands that is going to go off and leak private material to the interwebs

Shackdaddy8364431d ago

Which is also further proof that this rumor is BS. Why would anyone leak this and put their name on it?

Vynzent4431d ago (Edited 4431d ago )

This is rumor bullshit.

Seriously nothing legit ever leaks from id, just crap that doesn't look anything like the final game.

What's cool is you can see some of the animations they kept and revised for 2016.

nirwanda1214d ago

When you strip everything back you can really see how great the animation is.
It's amazing how far games have come.

glenn19791214d ago

For me its always interesting to see some prototype of a game of something else and see the final product on why they go another direction in the end

RaidenBlack1214d ago

My favorite is the MGS:Rising vs MGR:Revengeance.(I preferred the Kojima's one)
Another interesting one is Splinter Cell Conviction Concept vs Retail

spicelicka1214d ago

I don't see what is "COD-like" here? Just because there's 2 seconds footage with ironsight?

Concertoine1214d ago

The devs were openly going for the cinematic shooter style that was popular in the years this was developed. COD-like Doom was pretty much the pitch.

Fluke_Skywalker1214d ago

Looks pish, no wonder it got canned.

Every Doom Game Ever

Whilst the FPS genre has since had a tonne of fantastic franchises, such as Quake, Unreal and Serious Sam, Doom remains at the top of the pile, and has one of the best comeback stories in video game history. Doom is almost 30 years running, and has even bled into other mediums such as feature films and novels. As it has been going for so long, there have been a large number of entries in the series, and there are probably a few you never played. This is every Doom game ever.

Why Development Stopped On DOOM 4

According to ID Executive Producer Marty Stratton, DOOM 4 was scrapped because "it was more 'DOOM' in name than really anything."

Dabigsiebowski1517d ago

Because they wanted to punish John Carmack.

AK911517d ago

From reports apparently Doom 4 was shaping up to be COD but set in the DOOM universe, honestly really glad that didn’t happen.

Profchaos1517d ago

Pretty much they wanted to make it to meet what was selling at the time and in doing so it lost the soul of what makes doom doom.

MadLad1516d ago

Even Doom 3 did that, despite being a solid game all the same. Not mind blowing, in my opinion, but a solid title.

Segata1516d ago

Because it was Call of Duty with generic demons on Earth. Looked worse than the 2009 Wolfenstein. They made the right call.
