More Footage Surfaces Online From Cancelled ‘DOOM 4’
Another video has surfaced online showing off animation tests, concept art and more from id Software’s cancelled DOOM 4. The actual source of the footage isn’t known, which was posted to Reddit by user colonelmelnyk.
In case you’re not familiar, id had begun work on DOOM 4 as far back as 2007, and would take place on Earth, similar to Doom II: Hell on Earth. However, by 2013, DOOM 4 was stuck in development hell, and was eventually overhauled into the DOOM we got in 2016.
DOOM 4, which was criticized for being too heavily cinematic and too much like Call of Duty, has seen footage leak online before in much the same fashion. And you do see glimpses of what DOOM eventually came to be (namely in the executions and some of the animations), but the claim that it looked too much like something from Call of Duty is very much valid.
Currently, DOOM fans can enjoy the first part of the standalone expansion to DOOM Eternal in The Ancient Gods, which is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
Remember back in 2022 when developer Survios had announced that they were teaming up with 20th Century Games to develop a new Alien title? Well seeing as it’s Alien Day, Survios has announced their brand-new VR title, Alien: Rogue Incursion. Coming “Holiday 2024” to the PlayStation VR2, SteamVR, and Quest 3, Rogue Incursion will feature an original story that “fully surrounds players within the terrors of the Alien universe”.
Details on the game are light at the moment, but the official site describes the upcoming title as being “designed by Alien fans for Alien fans”, with Survios aiming to craft a “technically advanced, and frightfully immersive Alien virtual reality game.”
Seeing as Alien: Isolation never got official VR support when it was released, this is obviously a welcome announcement. In the meantime, if you’re keen to experience an Alien game in VR, you can always check out the fan-made mod for Alien: Isolation by Nibre_, which allows both the Steam and Epic Games Store version of Alien: Isolation to be played using the Oculus.
And speaking of Alien: Isolation, as you might expect, it’s got a hefty 80% discount going on at the moment on Steam until May 1. So if you still haven’t grabbed it after all these years, this is as good a time as any.
