DOOM 4 E3 2014 Teaser Trailer Was Not Rendered Real-Time: Report

Bethesda at E3 2014 reveal the first teaser trailer of next installment in DOOM franchise, "DOOM" (probably a tentative title and is popular called as DOOM 4 among fans right now). The graphics/visuals details in the trailer were of top notch and so questions were raised whether teaser trailer is rendered real-time in new id Tech

Keep expectations low on this one. Id is a developer in decline and now that John Carmack is gone this small development group won't be together much longer. In fact I expect this to be Id propers last game. Bethesda purchased Id for their Ip's and game engines. With Carmack gone there will not be anymore game engine advancements coming from this developer, so that part of the business is going away. Bethesda can have other developers work on Id Ip's like MachineGames did with Wolfenstein. Id takes to long to make and release average games. Rage took what five years? The last true Doom game was Doom 3 ten years ago and Doom 4 has already been scrapped once and restarted (according to reports). I think this is Id's last game unless it sells a ton of copies, which is doubtful.

The last true Doom game was Doom 2 imo. Doom 3 turned the series in a different direction. I couldn't get into it at all.

JsonHenry3581d ago

Fighting on Mars against the same aliens as in 1&2 was a different direction?

Activemessiah3581d ago

@JsonHenry It was the main direction.

mixelon3581d ago

Agreed, in terms of mood and gameplay they're totally different. :/ Doom2 forever!

MysticStrummer3581d ago

"Fighting on Mars against the same aliens as in 1&2 was a different direction?"

The gameplay was very different.

Yeah i have no hope for DOOM 4.

Carmack was mostly working on VR when he was at id. He never seemed to be that involved with what the rest of the company was doing. Yes id was poorly managed for years but now Bethesda is watching and cracking the whip. Rage was a tech demo that just got made into a game. In interviews with id devs about Rage they kept saying "If you like this then Doom will blow you away. Just wait for Doom. DOOM DOOM DOOM!!!" They have a passion for this franchise and they know a lot of other people do too. They have restarted on the newest game like 2 or 3 times now to make sure they get it right.

Wolfenstein the New Order was proof that these old FPS games can be revitalized for the current market and do a pretty good job at it too. I look forward to seeing this new Doom because they will have to give it their all. If they don't prove themselves with this game then Bethesda will force id to only work on idtech engines and leave their ip's to the other talented devs they have.

wallis3581d ago

Not really news. It was clearly not footage from the engine, was never claimed as such and like almost all trailers shown at E3 was nothing more an attempt at starting a hype train.

turdburgler10803581d ago

Who could possibly be that stupid as to believe that was real time? *the collective buttholes of Sony fans everywhere pucker*;)

zeroskie3581d ago

I don't even remember this video from E3. Wow.

corvusmd3581d ago

Sweet, can't wait for the beta.

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

nirwanda1220d ago

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

glenn19791220d 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

RaidenBlack1220d 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

spicelicka1220d ago

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

Concertoine1220d 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_Skywalker1220d 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."

Dabigsiebowski1522d ago

Because they wanted to punish John Carmack.

AK911522d 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.

Profchaos1522d 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.

MadLad1522d ago

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

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