You could make a brand new doom game with some of these designs

[@HordeModeGaming]

You absolutely could

[@SometimesEyeThink]

funny thing is i thing they are

[@theonlymaninthesky-37]

I love the big cueball with the organic look

[@HordeModeGaming]

I like the ones with skulls inside

[@WhipperSnapper_463]

The eyeless imp lookin like doom 2016 hell knight went on a heavy cut

[@HordeModeGaming]

I do like that about them

[@LAMAROUX34]

cyber-lost soul are FIRE !!

[@HordeModeGaming]

I'd love to see them return!

[@redmadness265]

Absolutely killer design! Would love to see them behave like the lost souls in classic doom

[@salehelsayed6094]

Doom eternal is great game and maybe better than 2016 one But doom 2016 demons design was awesome and the game atmosphere was more bloody and scary

[@hanneswiggenhorn2023]

Doom Eternal is definitely more arcady and less immersive. But one thing that you definitely should try is to turn the setting for the item drop brightness down! It instantly makes the game feel a bit more like 2016 in terms of atmosphere, and if you are into even more immersion (and a harder challange) I also recommend turning of the setting for glory kills blinking. If you tweak the settings right it looks like a whole different game!

[@salehelsayed6094]

@@hanneswiggenhorn2023 i will try this for sure

[@Kent_D_Nur]

One thing I liked more in Doom 2016 is the more, arcane bone and rock natural demon desing, instead of tecno deamons in eternal

[@Sniff738]

Tech demons were always natural in Doom and classic Hell had a "hell tech" aesthetic that Eternal didn't bring back: Flesh walls with metal pipes and that giant skull computer switch. Even D2's manual states Hell created cyberdemons and not the UAC. 2016's Hell is limited due to the mostly rock based environments and the demons focus too much on a limited aesthetic of chitin anatomy, so they feel a bit alien due to the art direction and lore. As if they have some sort of "nature", whereas both D3 and Eternal bring in more variety (Even if Eternal still has lore explaining them and so on). Demons are usually supernatural creatures, sometimes representing a concept like a sin or something symbolic (Even if Doom is not Shin Megami Tensei). Yeah, Eternal has a cartoonyness that doesn't even seem quite like D3 but 2016 sort of limited Hell, which always had potential to be more surreal.

[@jess648]

@@Sniff738eternals hell and hell corruption is a way too literal interpretation of classic’s flesh structures

[@Sniff738]

@@jess648In old Doom, it felt less like it was "growing" and more like the structures themselves were replaced even if it's because of the overall engine and style. But E2M2 had castle areas mix up with UAC areas. And again, flesh wall with metal pipes felt like the pipes were the "invasive" element. As if you were looking at the skin of a large cybernetic demon.

[@Bathtubcrocodile]

Eternals design fall in line with OG DooM and DooM 2. People think they just made it "cartoony".

[@Sniff738]

@@Bathtubcrocodilethere's still differences like the chitin anatomy, advanced tech, different proportions etc everyone knows doom was always cartoony but not many analyze the actual art style only few are either trivia/specific observation posters like MarphyBlack or modders as you see in assets from Realm667 Eternal is more like "some" of classic Doom designs but with still aesthetic bits from 2016 you won't find that sort of chitin anatony anywhere in classic Doom

[@ryatt9365]

I hope TDA uses some of these designs, or similar ones. It seems like they’re going for that gritty aesthetic that 2016 has, and with the absence of any UAC tech they’re able to go all in on the hell designs, since the demons haven’t taken on Makyr, Sentinel, or Human influence yet.

[@HordeModeGaming]

The Cueball would fit really well

[@Sniff738]

Lot of good stuff here. I think people assumed the cuebull designs would've been for the Screecher. Those cyborg souls are cool because they're like a middleground between the familar skulls and the D3 head.

[@HordeModeGaming]

I think "assumed" is the wrong word, a lot of people just used them as a reference before we got an official look. I do like the cyborg skulls, the one that looks like Anti Venom is pretty nice

[@corvusdominus9835]

The cue ball looks like something from fear and hunger

[@Masonxgamingshorts]

There was so much potential for these demons

[@HordeModeGaming]

There's limitless potential

[@springboi-_6305]

You know what ?

[@HectorGonzalezC]

For Doom The Dark Ages 😅

[@Blueguy404]

By looking at the demon with a shield, spear and armor. I would love a Doom game set in the medieval era now. I think it would be a cool and fresh take on the Doom franchise.

[@RL-DarkSpark]

I don't think people in the medieval era would manage to open up a portal, let alone one to hell 😅

[@Sniff738]

I can see someone bring up the mod GMOTA. But imagine even references to Bosch paintings or stuff like knights being similar to the Night Sentinel. And instead of "cyberdemons", they'd have cannons made of wood that shoot rocks or something.

[@HordeModeGaming]

You don't even need to make a medieval Doom game, just bring these designs into whatever they do next

[@saiodiaspaladin3391]

A game taking place after the hell priests found doom guy and demons invade and fight the night sentinels could be sick

[@wyattdillard]

So Army Of Darkness in a game?

[@RIPandTEARB1TCHES]

Imagine some penultimate doom game just being like, fuck it, all these unused designs and demons, bring in all the doom composers, make doomguy the most overpowered being in all of gaming, make a fucking banger story, done!

[@Destroyer_Of_Rats]

cool concept, but its gonna be a clusterfuck of an actual game

[@Sniff738]

I think you'd need different games to restore the cut content. D64? A new episode with the cut demons and with help from modders. Old Doom? Make an official game out of Doom Delta. D3? Probably collab with modders for an expansion with the cut stuff. Etc etc D4 being as risky as it is, i suggest "splitting" the game into different parts and putting them in new, different games or something.

I believe we're getting towards the end of the canceled designs, but I'll have plenty of lore to discuss!

[@dudemcduder1628]

I feel the reason they went less gruesome in the designs was to make the gore you cause much more of a spectacle. Like “yeah, I actually put work into making those guts exposed”

[@HordeModeGaming]

That could be a reason, makes sense

[@ultimatewolfgaming4171]

That one Cueball SENTRY BUSTER!

The art is soooo damn good. I almost want some of these designs to be implemented to a game one day.

[@HordeModeGaming]

That would be so nice

[@MageBurger]

The eyeless imp was actually fully animated in the game at one point within the E3 2015 showcase, but of course they later replaced it with the imp we have now.

[@HordeModeGaming]

Some of them still appear as corpses in a few multiplayer maps

[@FrNN-br6wx]

I like the idea of Cyborg Lost souls

[@HordeModeGaming]

I kinda do too

[@bluSplatKid]

I can imagine it would bring back the bite attacks on em instead of exploding on first contact. Like Classic doom. They'd probably lose the lock on because it would be too distracting if they bite, fly away and go to bite again like homing pairs of dentures as bigger demons attack you.

[@JammedProductions]

We need all these demon designs in either a doom eternal DLC or new Doom game

[@HordeModeGaming]

I'm sure they'll cook

[@JammedProductions]

@@HordeModeGaming I’m sure they will

[@atls2049]

Eyeless imp looks like an imp model from alpha doom 2016 footages

[@HordeModeGaming]

That's exactly what they are

[@OneUp-18]

Honestly I appreciate how Doom the dark ages looks to be going back to making the designs be more unique and out there than playing it safe and making some demon designs look really classic, although I did like how they did it in Doom Eternal, showing us how they would have looked had the orignal Doom actually came out in modern times

[@HordeModeGaming]

I wouldn't say Eternal's classic designs are necessarily "playing it safe" since they very easily could've been different if the team wanted them to be

[@omarrojo9484]

We missed out on the cueball and carcass designs, ngl. The organic look of those monters would have fitted better in 2016's art direction so I get why they weren't used but still...

[@HordeModeGaming]

I think the Carcass is alright, but yeah the Cueball could've been dope. A lot of Eternal's earlier designs really fit the 2016 aesthetic, which is cool

[@antonydrossos5719]

The final designs are great, but there’s always something tragic about seeing what went unused

[@HordeModeGaming]

Always cool to see what we could've had

[@Bearly_A_Gamer]

I hope the next doom game is about the in-between time from eternal and 2016 and I hope they use these as the enemies. Edit: or for the next game make it to where we don't see it as just an imp but wrather the twisted horror that the slayer sees. Basically make it like doom three but don't just recycle the jump scares and make it 20 time scarier.

[@HordeModeGaming]

I don't believe there's much of a point in doing that. It's not an uncommon request, but it's just not something that needs to happen

[@Joe_MMA195]

I would rather a game that takes place between Doom 64 and 2016. Maybe that shows how Doomguy goes from man to god as he becomes the slayer.

[@rudyh721]

Damn actually cyber lost souls could look really cool

[@VirgilSonofSparda]

So this new doom game is gonna be perfect for those unused queball designs, despite being a pretty rare to find enemy that didn’t serve any real purpose besides getting the odd environmental kill it’d be sick for it to have a more interesting design

[@Cheeseburger-f9y]

My main complaint about doom eternal is the fact that the demons don’t look demonic, they don’t look bad by any means and fit in the lore, but the only demon that actually looks like a demon is the icon of sin, and the barons also (kinda), some of those would have fixed that complaint, but still doom eternal is still my favorite game of all time

Hellrazers are like "mini shamblers from Quake" because of the laser beam. Mecha zombies have both plasma projectiles and a flame thrower. I'd say if the Hellrazer returns, give it a "triple" laser beam and change the head to resemble a fire torch. Also, make it bleed orange like in the art.
