Was that some multiplayer at the end or something?
And man those cutscenes just scream last gen.
So happy we got Doom and Eternal.

Basically my take on it. I probably would have played this, but we definitely got the better outcome with Doom 2016.
Glad this got scrapped. It was during some of the most homogeneous time in gaming where every series felt the need to CoD-ify they games.
I believe it was the same team yeah, but things changed when Marty Stratton and Hugo Martin lead the reboot.
More about it in noclip's doc on 2016:

This is when Kevin Cloud was in charge. According to the Noclip doc, a lot of folks came and when between this and what we got in 2016.
I'm so grateful that we wound up getting the games we got but this still looks super neat and I would have loved to see this finished up and released as a spin-off or something.
I dig it. Not more than 2016 or Eternal, but it looks like a slightly more inspired take on the 2010-12 console fps. It looks like it was a step in the right direction for the franchise at the time, but we should all be thankful they decided to take a big leap instead.
I would love to play this version. Id should put it out as a bonus like when the devs of Duke 3D put out Lameduke (old version of Duke 3D).
The game reminds me a lot of Resistance.

I still would've played it, and it surely would've been disappointing. However, I'm seeing some good looking assets (at the time, not to mention still in development), some pretty good animations, and some surprising environmental interactions. There's good stuff there.
I don't think it looks bad. While obviously it is leaning heavily into COD-territory in terms of player design and in-your-face cutscenes of somebody kicking your ass, it looks perfecly functional. I'm curious if some of the behaviors we saw (imps crawling, the summoner) were supposed to be scripted sequences or they'd actually do that sorta thing in gameplay (like they do in the games we got). Like, the team obviously has great chops, the demon designs aren't that bad--this would've been a perfectly fun FPS.
Like I think we'd have gotten a fun game out of this pitch.
But...
I still think we dodged a bullet there--this looks fine, but Doom 2016 was amazing.

We may be living in the "worst timeline" in a lot of ways, but when it comes to video games, we just might be living in one of the best ones.
Not that this game would be part of that "worst" one - it looks like it could've been okay - but definitely worse.

That chaingun at the end looked pretty cool. I wish Doom Eternal had more hell on Earth stuff outside of demon-possessed urban environments but I certainly am glad this Doom 4 fell apart.
There's another dimension where this got released and Halo 4 plays like classic Halo instead of sprint, armor abilities and CoD loadouts in MP. I don't know if I wanna live there though because the most recent Doom games are so good.
I felt Doom 2016 was regressive in its game design and extremely overrated, but this version of the game just seemed completely unremarkable.
This would've been such a weird game if it'd come out. Completely removed from what DOOM was from a gameplay standpoint, but it's not like any other CoD-style modern military shooters are about demons consuming the planet.
Rage already had a heavy emphasis on enemies having the AI and dynamic animation they needed to parkour around arbitrary environments, and I imagine they were using the same tech for Doom 4's demons at the time.
I always like seeing cool franchises in other genres. Would have been cool to get this, but not at the expense of 2016
Different time. Doom 3 already drastically changed the formula so this would be both an extension of that as well as playing into popular conceptions and trends of the time. I'm glad we didn't get this.
I imagine if it came out it would be known as one of those games that would have been better received not being attached to a well known IP (or even reworked as a Rage sequel/spinoff).
Still think 2016/Eternal was the way to go for Doom.

Better than one of the best playing FPS's ever made? Damn that's high praise.
