GGL recently got a chance to sit down with actor Brad Hawkins, who was chosen as one of the motion capture actors for id software's upcoming Doom 4.
Hawkins gave us some photos from his time on the id Software set and revealed new information about the game's setting, namely: Civilians will be armed and headed to battle in the title, further lending credence to the idea that Doom 4 is set 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.
I can't wait for Doom 4.That id Tech 5 engine will crush UE3 to dust
I can't wait for Doom 4.That id Tech 5 engine will crush KillZone 2 Engine to dust.
I hope they do the co-op right this time.
Remember 'Final Doom'? Lols.
I really didnt like the changes they had made for the Doom3. For me it was some sort of retarted flashlight tag with monsters in close corridors..
Where did all the fun go?
I really hope Doom4 will be more like serious sam or pain killer but with better plot and taking the more "serious" route. I want to get the feeling of grapping that super shotgun and blasting a half a dozen enemies to the wall with it.
when talking about doom waves of 2-3 enemies are not enough, we need atleast 20 to bring on some action :P
If Doom4 is yet a gain another "fear" flaslight tag, call of duty wannabe from space or half life copy. I am not going to bother myself with it.
