Bethesda and id’s next entry in the Doom series is set to get a proper unveiling at E3 in June, but a leaked video shows that the original vision was very different to the franchise as we know it.
The video below is based on work done prior to 2012 and is a look at what Bethesda and id scrapped when the new game was rebooted. It was found in a showreel of former Blur Studio cinematics director, Mark Bristol.
Although not in-game footage, the look of the CG video certainly isn’t in keeping with the tone of the original Doom titles or Doom 3, having more in common with id’s Rage, Activision’s Call of Duty and Guerrilla Games’ Killzone. It’s less intense action and more soldiers fighting in a post-apocalyptic world.
Doom, as it is today, was teased by Bethesda yesterday ahead of a full reveal at E3 at 2:30am on Monday, June 15 (BST). The game will be part of Bethesda’s E3 showcase alongside other unannounced titles. Remarkably, despite being shown off to attendees at QuakeCon in July 2014, the snippet of footage below is all anyone who didn’t attend the event has seen.
