Given the success of Machine Games' reboot of Wolfenstein, you might forgive publisher Bethesda for feeling pretty confident that forthcoming Doom 4 will be an automatic hit.
In a recent print interview with MCV, however, the company's head of PR Pete Hines said the team knows they have to "prove ourselves all over again".
Today, some new in-game footage from the prototype versions of the cancelled COD-like Doom 4 surfaced online.
What's cool is you can see some of the animations they kept and revised for 2016.
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
I don't see what is "COD-like" here? Just because there's 2 seconds footage with ironsight?
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.
According to ID Executive Producer Marty Stratton, DOOM 4 was scrapped because "it was more 'DOOM' in name than really anything."
No shit, you dont say !. But to be honest, its different times now so we chould cut them some slack :)
As of now, only one their recent game was unsuccessful, and it was TES Online, which is horrible according to reviews. So I'm quite relaxed about the quality of the next game as long as it provides Next-Gen graphics.
HAH!! Good luck with that! Especially without the original id staff doing it.
Did they make a bad doom game or something?
Doom and doom2 were my introduction to multiplayer gaming back in the day.. Doom3 was fun..
The franchise is in good standing with me
I dont get the hate for Doom 3. It was a great game. Sure it was a bit different than Doom-Final Doom, but it was still a quality game.
