GamesRadar:
Doom 4 is coming (eventually)
id Software confirmed work on Doom 4 nearly four years ago, but hasn't released a drop of information yet. Instead, it opted to spend this console generation working on the tech to make RAGE work - and for as much as we enjoyed the game's high-resolution textures, we definitely would have rather some good, old fashioned shooting. On Mars. With big guns. And demons. Are you taking notes, id?
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.
When you strip everything back you can really see how great the animation is.
It's amazing how far games have come.
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
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
I don't see what is "COD-like" here? Just because there's 2 seconds footage with ironsight?
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.
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."
From reports apparently Doom 4 was shaping up to be COD but set in the DOOM universe, honestly really glad that didn’t happen.
Because it was Call of Duty with generic demons on Earth. Looked worse than the 2009 Wolfenstein. They made the right call.
teh zombies!/s
bring a doom game the fans will enjoy. make a robust multiplayer experience on psn.
bring the horror.
They need to make survival horror game.
Multiplayer/Survival Horror seriously? That won't be anything like DOOM.
DOOM was all about fast paced and non-linear action with monsters pouring in from every corner. How can i forget the metal tracks?
Bring back e1m1 theme, that alone would be a reason for me to buy the game.
I want to crap my pants.
ah yeah baby!!!, my #1B most foavorite shooter franchise right behind #1A Half-Life series, if its ever released, its gonna be 1 of the Best days of my gamer hobby life, truly a beast of a game, CANT WAIT!!, lol.
