DailyGame.net reports that id Software is expanding its internal dev team to start hardcore production of DOOM 4 -- and the job posting reveals that DOOM 4 takes place on Earth.
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.
dude OMGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!
THE KINGGGGGG THE TRUE KING OF FIRST PERSON SHOOTERS!
There is no doubt. DOOM is the King!
Well I wonder if this was the game OPM was talking about the big Daddy of FPS games.
Aslo I wonder if Doom 4 will use the Rage Engine or some thing else?
I think this is great news to hear that Doom 4 is in the works. I can't wait to see what will be added.
Doom 4... Hopefully the id has learned from the disaster that was Doom 3 and makes this game as close as possible the legendary Doom 1 and Doom 2.
How about a Heretic 3 id?
Well, this is great. I never thought Doom 3 was a bad game, it just wasn't very innovative, other then it's graphics for the time, of course. Hopefully, iD have learned from that game and revitalize the gameplay, bring it to more modern specs. Add a new weapon system maybe, upgradeable weapons, 4 player co-op (gotta have 4 player coop), bring back some classic baddies and a whole load of new baddies, could be a fun game. They really need to upgrade the gameplay, that is the main point. Graphics, we won't have to worry about that, this is iD after all. And story telling, that is another good point.
Heretic 3, now that's a given. Get Raven on that on pronto. Heck, I would like to see Quake V from them too. I liked Quake IV, it was classic FPS gameplay meshed (almost to a fault though) with some newer aspects (but not enough I'm afraid, still fun. I beat it like 4 times). I want to know what's been going on with Mathew Kane.
