Eurogamer:
A video for the cancelled Doom 4 has been revealed - and it shows a very different take on id Software's iconic first-person shooter series.
Development on Doom 4 was restarted after the earlier version failed to hit the mark. The Doom 4 initially in production at id was simply "not Doom 4", publisher Bethesda's marketing exec Pete Hines said in 2013. Based on the video, we can see what he means.
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.
Watching that all I could think of was gears of war
Whats up with some of the textures in the gameplay bit? Looks cack but some of the CGI stuff looks wicked.
Well it doesn't feel like Doom...more like a cross between Rage, COD and an expired falafel so its a good thing it got cancelled.
Doom is all about hell, raw to the core frickin skeletons with limbs coming out of their urethra and demonic symbols, BFG's and hummus. (I'm really hungry).
Looks very different that a Doom game.
is this resistance?
Call of Resistance: Gears of Metro. Or something equivelant.
