Well done! Seems like some of the concepts from DOOM 3 such as the visions made their way over to DOOM 2016.

[@Pygargue00fr]

In the end, it feels that the devs just couldn't fully implement all of thoses elements, most likely due to disagreements between the devs and wherever to go full on horror or action packed gameplay. Technological limitations has also negatively affected developpement as many gameplay features that were comfirmed to have been implemented at some point got removed, from scrapped weapons and items to cut ennemy behavior such as: -A railgun -Slugs for the shotgun -A better looking and functionning shotgun. Hold five shells, faster firing rate but slower reload, better bullet spread. -Zsec could melee you, as well as reload theirs guns. -Revenant was tougher, could run, always fired two rockets and had some sort of leap attack akin to the imp. -The Maggot's behavior was changed before release, and was going to be much more similar to the Vulgar. -The archvile was going to ressurect monsters instead of summoning them. -all characters and monsters had proper death animations instead of ragdols, and the bodies woule have stayed on the floor indefinitly. This was latter changed due to performance concerns. -slower weapon swiching, with realistic animations. -Player walking speed was raised from 100 to 140, while stamina rate was doubled from 12 to 24, this essentially made ennemies unable to keep up with you, hence why the game is consideres being to easy. -max armor was raised from 100 to 125. While not actually cut, it's barely used, but the wraith could be spawned hanging from the ceiling like a bat, falling down on some unsuspecting pray. This was recycled for the Gargoyle in Doom Eternal, who's design took inspiration from the wraith.

[@MisterJohnDoe]

The Bruisers were going to have a proper introduction too, where one was going to be hiding as a terminal until it would burst out of a wall. I'm not sure if this was going to be a cutscene or a little surprise for the player. Edit: Forgot to mention, there's also how zombies were originally going to "resurrect" shortly after being killed, rather than just staying dead. Maybe this little gimmick made them too stressful to deal with or something, especially with large groups or cramped spaces.

[@Pygargue00fr]

I heard about this, the Bruisers could use theirs techno-organic apperences to tend ambushes. Intrestingly enough, the Bruiser was mentionned in the files of the E3 demo, and it seems that it was already being developped at the time and presumably considered for the base game. However, the Bruiser that we got was called the "Ressurection of Evil Bruiser" or something like that, meaning it could have either been recycled like the Archvile model that was reused for the Vulgar, or was a completely different one altogether.

[@Pygargue00fr]

The only other "new" monsters mentionned in the E3 demo was the Maggot, different zombie types minus and "cultist leader" Trites, Ticks, Wraiths, and the Sawer zombie were nowhere to be found, meaning that they were later additions. A "Spider demon boss" is mentionned, however the Arachnotron and Pain Elemental aren't anywhere either. The Barons of Hell are mentionned however.

[@mastermike9000]

Meh don't care I loved it

[@ComradeStrogg]

@@lordterra1377 Doom 3 isn't the first Doom game to implement more horror and slower pacing. Doom 64 did it first and it was awesome, especially when you play with headphones - every scratch, every moan, every distant step behind the walls is heard and raises the tension. For me personally, the ideal Doom would be something in between the fast-paced brutal shooter and the horror story that acknowledges the dangerous and brutal nature of the demons and Hell. Something like in FEAR 1&2, where you have cool shootouts mixed with horror segments with ghosts and other paranormal stuff. What they did in Doom Eternal was a bit over the top for me. Too goofy at times. Doom 2016 was way better, at least demons weren't clowns.

[@lordterra1377]

@@ComradeStrogg Doom 64 is the same as the original Doom, the gameplay is no different. Doom 64 follows the Doom Bible closer in atmosphere and design elements but that's it.

[@vinny-zebu]

There's some very interesting cut sections there that would probably make it if not for development constraints. Having the engineer as sidekick would have been cool for example, her transformation would've been even more impactful, since I was already terrified seeing that the first time. The lore seems very well developed but in the final game I didn't relate to anyone really, it doesn't do a good job at it, unlike their direct competitor at the time, which was Half Life 2.

[@derzw3rg]

Still can't get over the fact that the bad guy is called Betruger (which is basically the German Betrüger, roughly translated to Fraudster)

[@princessmaly]

I love that book but I'd forgotten all the subtle changes here and there, but I feel like most of it has been effectively streamlined and the finished game is generally more polished. There's some stuff, like Theresa Chasar being an actual character you get to know for a bit before she becomes a lost soul, that sounds really intriguing, but spending that much time with her would probably just lead to more questions: how does it work? How did the machine parts get into her skull while she was still alive? Did she know she would turn? If she did, for how long? And why not say anything about it the whole time? And if she didn't know, how did she get infected? Did it happen prior to meeting her? It makes you start to question the exact process and nature of the hell stuff, which really rubs the mood and feeling of the game in the complete wrong direction, like trying to pet a cat backwards. Doom 4 & 5 feel perfectly at home giving you detailed logs on the exact specifications of hell's hierarchy, how the UAC makes cyberdemons, how argent works, and all that stuff, but Doom 3 leans extremely heavily on the idea of being haunted by creepy unknowable paranormal forces. It wants the horrors of hell to feel inexplicable and like you're stuck in an Exorcist sequel or something, because the atmosphere is a major part of it, if the player starts thinking too hard about how everything works, you get in the wrong headspace and it could take you out of it. The one thing I definitely wish was still a part of the game though is the four barons. Not only are those unique designs really damn cool, showing off Adrian's style while also a little bit resembling some of Wayne Barlowe's hell work with that fourth one, but my one major complaint about Doom 3 has always been how short the hell section is. And it's not just me, in that same book you hear that sentiment a lot, too. The whole game is based on this slow crescendo to revealing hell, it builds up the hype so high, and then once you get there it's incredible... and then you just leave? It would be like if you followed the original plan for Doom 1, where episode 3 was in the middle... but it was only a single level, bookended by techbases. The haunted house design of the techbase levels is incredible and engrossing but after you get to hell the foreplay with the player is over, there's no reason to pull punches anymore, but nope, you backpedal. It's a major pacing issue that thankfully Resurrection of Evil and Lost Mission knew better than to fall for, and its presence in the base game which is otherwise incredibly paced up to the journey to hell is just baffling. Having four distinct hell levels each with their own big bad bruiser brother would have solved that issue immensely, because not only would it give the designers more time and space to do weird fucked up hell shit, not only would we get a series of awesome bosses that have individual variation which is just a cool idea, but by the time you've journeyed to the four corners of hell and assembled the soul cube... you would be ready to get the hell out of... hell. As for the mastermind, I'm also gutted that the designs featured in the book never showed up (although ofc they were modeled and created in mods later on), the choice to make the Cyberdemon the final boss was the right call. Who knows if it was ever going to be any different, or where the mastermind would have fit into the original plan, but the build up and pay off of the Cyberdemon was great, as was the fact that nobody was really clamoring to see the mastermind return in the first place. In fact its absence is the whole reason the Doom 4 mastermind was such a big deal.

This video got recommended to me randomly and I was so surprised with the production quality of it all. Amazing work at realizing this alternative narrative! I genuinely can’t believe you have so few subscribers if you’re putting out content like this.

[@GreatFox42]

Things I wish were kept in the final game: -Exterior shots of Mars City -The Marine's narration. I ultimately agree with making him silent in-game, but having his monologues on like the loading screens and such would have been cool. -General Hayden, or at least his role as turning Kelly into Sabaoth. It just kinda happens outta nowhere in the release version and always felt off as a result.Even showing Betruger doing it, or alternatively slowly showcasing Kelly's descent over time would have worked. -The visual element of Kelly being crucified as part of his boss design -Visiting the player Marine's quarters -The Chapel (the location itself, even if not the visions. In fact it's just really strange how Chapels (as in normal chapels not ones located within Hell) are just never shown in Doom games. I feel like the game could have made a great setpiece out of the chapel in the before/after versions of Mars City). -A closer personal connection to Chasar to make the Lost Soul transformation just that _extra bit_ more horrifying (though ideally not as an escort quest). I've always really liked the concept of the Lost Souls in Doom 3. Maybe not enough so to completely replace the original Lost Souls, but having them alongside, sure. They're just so disturbing on a conceptual level. -The Primar labs and corresponding enemy type -What sounds like a longer Hell section with multiple bosses therein. -The Bruiser introduction sequence (as well as the enemy itself though at least it was salvaged in the expansions). Honestly, no lie, my favorite Doom 3 enemy. I think it is _really_ cool. Incidentally I wonder if any of this stuff survived into the Doom 3 novelizations? IIRC the writer of those was involved in the game's production in a similar capacity to Marc Laidlaw's in that of the Half-Life games.

[@shreksnow1918]

That was definitely interesting. Those visions remind me of the Alma/haunted sections in FEAR and what the Dead Space Markers do to people. I really like how that one scientist would’ve taken his own life instead of becoming a zombie. Same goes for that one lady turning into a lost soul. That definitely would’ve made the game darker. Having a general helping with the experiments was also an interesting idea. I’d LOVE a remake of Doom 3 that has the original story, fixes various issues with the gameplay, and builds on what worked with the original. Too bad we’ll NEVER see this become a reality. You’d think that we’d at least get a novelization of this lost story/script. Interestingly, I actually prefer Doom 3 over the originals and the reboot games. If we judge it strictly as a Doom game I agree wholeheartedly that it falls flat. If you judge it as its own thing I’d say it’s pretty good. A bit rough around the edges and could’ve been better in some aspects. I also liked all the events borrowed from Half-Life. The intro is reminiscent of Half-Life’s intro because after you get off the shuttle you get to look around the place before things go wrong, the workers/security are on edge, and there’s little accident/equipment malfunctioning that foreshadows the eventual disaster. The BFG functions like the Tau Cannon where you charge it up, and if you hold down charge for too long the thing explodes killing you. There’s also soldiers and scientists/workers who will either follow you and inevitably die, or stay in that spot like Half-Life’s NPCs do. I also like the atmosphere and how people have realistic reactions to seeing hell and demons enter reality.

[@RVoogt]

This is soooo well done, thank you!

[@PineView80]

I prefer the Doom 3 we ended up getting, however the longer Hell sections with 4 bossed would have been amazing. Seems like a great project for modders to implement this. I really love the "lived-in" feel you get in these levels, its a significant reason as to why I like this game so much. I did a lot of modding back in the day, especially when looking through the sound files there is a lot of unused stuff or the names of folders and such that also imply some cut content regarding casual pre-invasion interactions. Would love it if they returned to this formula with new tech, imagine a long drawn out horror game exploding into full blown Doom FPS gameplay at times, returning back to the slow atmospheric style for the player's respite. Similar to the 2005 movie or F.E.A.R.. It just needs to be kept simple: Demons from Hell with survivors trying to survive; not drawn out complex interwoven plots with twists and turns. The communications and gameplay during the slow sections serving as a means to gain access to supplies and new weapons by navigating and unlocking the UAC facility. Anyways, amazing video as always, looking forward to more stuff from you.

I can't believe we haven't had a small open world Doom game, where you can choose dialogue with NPCs. Choose to be an engineer, scientists and Marine. Work your way up forge friendships play cards turbo turkey puncher on your time off. Going to work then back to your barracks in Mars city. As the engineers work being rewiring wires, hazardous trash removal, installing Windows, after getting better and better jobs, you eventually are working on computer screens in Delta, power problems in Delta to volunteering on extra credit..... Awesomeness! If the players a scientist goes from working in the power plant (enpor) monorail station, to shipping and ordering, to the dig sites, eventually alpha labs then of course Delta labs and then volunteering for extra credit awesomeness! Then of course Marine patrolling creepy under ground mars City areas to outside areas, to running security for alpha to going back and forth with your team to extra credit areas (hell of course). But of course the player is applying for these new jobs as they progressed through the game choosing dialogue with characters from the original being your boss or coworkers choosing dialogue that your character is, afraid or into the work. All kinds of stuff, Choose what you want to wear. Would anyone else play a game like this?? Love the video man it was pretty cool! 😎

Wonder if the use of Hayden was coincidence or not in 2016. Like if they decided to reuse the name for a new character from this.

To be honest, I would like to see this cancelled story actually re-implemented, possibly by mods for Doom 3. Cause I love when game has character that actually talks and that you can understand, with interesting world, story and great gaming experience. Because, despite how good Doom 2016 and Eternal was, they becoming boring very quickly. Sure, Doom Eternal has some story but it is still the same boomer shooter. Yes, I like boomer shooters, but I don't like playing them too much because, the overdose of games of this kind can cause a burnout and you won't be wanting to play it later down the line or any other game. Cause that is what happened to me few years ago. And to restore my interest to video games I simply looked back at the games that I skipped, and played them. Such games as Constantine The Video Game, Fear 3, Land of the Dead or Conflict series. So yeah, it is actually a good thing to refresh existing series with a game with good story. Thus why I never understood the hate around Doom 3 that I heard from many people. Cause this is underrated game and I would actually like to see it's true sequel but in bigger scale.

While it is strange now to think at doom with a talking protagonist and more cinematographic approach (doom 3 already had very complex cinematography for the time), at the time it really would have not been so strange. In fact, critics of the game at the time lamented the game was too “old styled” when compared to other titles ( mainly to prop up half life 2, to be fair.). It was only later that the criticism of “too different to doom 1 and 2” took hold, mainly from more vocal fans of the original games. (That said a old school doom game would have looked more like serious sam or painkiller)

Betruger, one of the good guys. Man, the Marine is not a good judge of character.

I have an idea. Sense you already did a video about the survivors. How about a video on an opinion on if the survivors survived or were most likely to survive? Here's the rules i made 1: no already confirmed dead/alive survivors only survivors left ambiguous like we know c4 survivors dead when we meet him but r Ryan is not confirmed dead and is left alone the rest of the game. 2: any equipment they have is to be left alone if they have a gun they have a gun that simple. If they have medical equipment they have it. Any resources they have with them in there hiding spot they keep and can use for basic self defense purposes. 3: be fair just because one guy will be attacked by an Arch viel doesn't mean he's gonna be on the bottom automatically or just because there in a dangerous spot doesn't mean they are screwed the moment the player leaves. Basically take everything into account put the first person as the most likely to die and the ladt as survive I know it's confirmed that only doom guy survived but it gets retconed in the lost mission also ots for fun.

Thank you so much for this! I was hoping to do a survivors video for Resurrection of Evil. I will try to find something to do with that at the end; it's a good idea. Thank you again! I really appreciate it! :)
