A source claiming to be close to the publishers of the recently-launched RAGE has told Kotaku that, at a recent "company wide" meeting held in Dallas, Bethesda and parent company Zenimax made the decision to "indefinitely postpone" development of Doom 4.
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 shock there....
Rage wasn't a bad game, but somehow high expectations got to it. hope they still continue with Doom 4, next gen needs a Doom game...
if Doom 4 was going to be smoke n' mirrors and unsatisfying like Rage, its best. wake up Carmack!
boy idk bout anyone else, but I thought RAGE sucked!
Everyone overhyped rage, especially gt and ign.
I said from the start it would be slightly above average, and the graphics weren't THAT amazing.
But everyone was like "No it's teh id softwaerz. They made teh doooomz."
