The Original Story of Doom 3 ( From The Making of Doom 3 Book)

26:10 "His back was blown out." Yo...Demon's be doin backshots straight off the bang.

The Doom Marine's voice was PERFECT, I definitely want to listen to an audiobook or audio drama with his voice set in the DOOM universe! Loving the concepts and it's really well fleshed out despite the differences with the final game!

Why THE FUCK didnt the doom movie use any of this?

I would have played the crap out of this version.

I'd love to see this story brought to life... I'd play the shit out of a DOOM game that's more of a survival/horror-shooter.

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

Im glad general Hayden abandoned his post as a marine and took over the science team

as interesting as this sounds, i'm glad we got what we got. Doom 3 is an incredible and severely underrated game.

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.

The voice acting in these videos is really good

Very cool, especially the marine's dialogue. I always found it a little strange how he never spoke in Doom 3.

best doom for me hands down

Thank you for giving this game a bit of much-deserved love. I can’t believe that it’s 20 this year. Underrated game with a unique vibe, one of my favourites.

Imagine someone made a fan made of the OG story as a alterative universe/reality.

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

Really cool how you got Elvis to voice Doom 3 Guy!

Doom 3 is an unappreciated masterpiece and one of my all time favorite games. Absolutely amazing work on the video and I am glad I could see this deep dive in to what it could have been.

Doom 3 is my favorite of the series

Here I sit, fighting the darkness of relentless exhaustion as it threatens to pulls me into a restless sleep. I must fight! It's only midnight... but I'm so tired. I can't do this alone- I need motivation! A notice illuminates my phone screen, a beacon of hope in the darkness. LeChum posted a Doom video? LeChum... what a chum... Yes! This is what I needed! Spin that sucker up, throw it on the big screen, pour another coffee. Here I sit, steaming mug in hand, rejuvinated and ready to embrace that darkness of another kind. Lifting my cup toward the screen is silent declaration, "Cheers, mate. I should have known you'd have my back."

The pre divinity machine doom marine voice was spot on
