Eskimo Press: Back in 2011 when Rage was released I didn’t check it out. I was busy playing other games, and a couple of my friends were ripping on it for some reason, and I just kind of forgot about it. The other day I was browsing the used game selection at my local video game store, and I wasn’t seeing anything that peeked my interest, until I noticed a copy of Rage tucked away at the back of the shelf. I got the urge to finally try the game out for myself, and I couldn’t really argue with the low price. So I purchased Rage, went home and booted it up, and I loved almost every moment of it. Now I’m super excited about id Software’s next game; Doom 4.
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.
