Doom 4 Monsters

[The Civ]

To anyone who attended the previews, can you describe what the monsters/demons that you saw looked like?
Bonus points if you are artistic and can provide sketches. It seems that I am the only one that is curious if the designs will be similar to Doom 3, or the classic games.

I've read they are similar to Doom 3

[Koko Ricky]

I would say they are like Doom 3's, but much more menacing and more creative. They generally look a bit closer to the originals, and in particular the archvile and revenants looked very nice. They generally look more organic and fleshy. The cybernetic components look better integrated. There are some pretty slick human enemies, including fully suited ones that resemble Quake's enforcers.

How did the imps look?

Goatloard:

Does this look familiar to you?

[imp1979]

Looks like Pinky demons.

[ducon]

With a prick.

No, nothing like that. There were not, in fact, any demons in the demo. I can't remember the imps too well. I mostly remember that the revenant and mancubus were very much in the vain of the originals, though they honestly look better than any previous incarnation I've seen.

Ah man. I really hope there are some pinkies in the new Doom. They are one of my favorite monsters. Love blowing those big guys away.

Obviously, there's no way in Hell nor Hangar that they won't include the beloved Demons.

As I recall, the Imps resembled the ones from Doom 3, with more of a sleek, gray coloration and glowing white eyes.

Hmm. I would have preferred glowing red eyes, but, oh well. You can't have everything you want in this world.

[Guest Unregistered account]

Meh, I suppose having glowing white eyes suggests intelligence over evil, or something...

Are they still using the model on the 5th page of this PDF?

[Koko Ricky]

I can't answer that, I don't remember the imps' appearance well.

Hi!
Am I the only one worried about the design of the Cyberdemon?
The foot shown in the trailer looks a lot like a grizzly foot... but a Cyberdemon is a Cyberdemon IFF it has goat legs!
BTW, the Hellknights in Doom 3 were so disappointing!

@Marnetmar: isn't that 5th-page-model the fly mutant from Rage?

[Koko Ricky]

I think some of ya'll need to let go of these sacred notions that XYZ element of neo-Doom MUST resemble its 2.5D counterpart. If you want to maturely examine the aesthetics of neo-Doom, you need to start by asking yourself whether or not the design is appealing and feels appropriate, not by criticizing the cyberdemon's foot.

[Doomkid]

That cybie totally needs a pedicure!

[chainsoul]

Hope there will be an archvile

[Cupboard]

Basically if they don't find a way to incorporate all the awesome monster designs that have been present throughout id's career, I think it would be an opportunity wasted. They never had to reinvent the wheel, just speed up the game so the player can gun more monsters faster and cause infighting! [The last five words scare publishers the most because it means system requirements might sky-rocket if left absolutely untamed.]

That looks pretty coo- w-wait. my eyes.

[slowtorturepukechamber]

All I know is that the pinky demon and Cyberdemon look incredible.

[William Blazkowicz]

I wonder if they will go with a lovecraftian style as seen in some quake games

[Orchid87]

As much as I love classic Doom monsters, Doom 3's half robotic pinky is one of my favorite designs. I hope he returns in Doom 3.

[petePESTILENCE]

^This plus gore.
I want to be able to blow chunks of its flesh off with a ssg :D

[Koko Ricky]

From what they showed us at the demo, you'll be able to.

[petePESTILENCE]

OMG NO WAY!!!
I'm sooo pumped!

[nelson01023]

Dangit,I really wanna see the pinky demon and pain elemental

Nah, I can live without the pain elemental. Annoying fat bastards. Pinkies though are a definite must. Absolutely love those guys.

Although, if the pain elementals explode upon dying like in Classic Doom, then I wouldn't mind having them. It would be cool to have them blow up and take out some surrounding monsters.

[Koko Ricky]

I really love Doom 64's pain elemental. I'd like to see something along those lines in the new Doom.
