If you remember, almost two months ago Bethesda announced that everyone who would pre-order Wolfenstein: The New Order game would get an exclusive key to the beta test of another Bethesda’s project - Doom 4.
Wolfenstein: The New Order release is planned for the current and next-gen consoles, as well as for PC, so it would be logical to think that Doom 4 beta will be held on the same platforms. But as it turned out, it isn’t true. Recently the project’s publisher - Bethesda company - has announced that Doom 4 beta test will be available only on three platforms - PS4, Xbox One and PC.
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.
No problems for me then, Doom 4. I've been waiting for you :)
Well i just bought a 512gb Samsung 840 Pro SSD, so i will be well set for all my games and ready for many more in the future.
But, still unsure how this new Doom will turn out.. so i'm just going to stay half optimistic on this and not get my hopes up.
Once upon a time, i was looking forward to another Doom game. Now it's just a ''meh'' thing tbh, because the expectations are low.
not sure about doom4 - didn't really care for doom3...i hope #4 is good though.
Been waiting a zillion years for this. Hell, I waited 10 years for Doom 3 and another 5 before I finally played it. Whenever Doom 4 finally drops, I'll be all over it.
