LOL, where the hell did you find these?

Also, the second one doesn't look identical to the pic in the OP, wtf?


Can't really remember where i found these pics. I saw them back in the 90ies in an magazine, and sme years ago fired up a google search for these pics. With success. :-D

Who would have played doomguy? Would he speak in the cutscenes? Would these cutscenes be adaptions of the end of episode texts? Would it be better than the movie? Why does the last one look like a driver's licence picture? So many questions that will never be answered...
Also, I'm personally gonna call that thing a 3DemOn (get it?)

The OP picture might be a magazine scan of the 2nd picture.

This. Probably a scan from the same magazine I first saw it in, whatever the hell it was.

I wish Doom could have been immortalized in some shitty mid nineties FMVs. Can anyone else think of any good games with FMVs besides Sonic CD?

Also, I hope this is added to the wiki.

Wing Commander? Although good is a relative adjective.

Interesting find. Of course Doom guy is wearing a white shirt to show off the fake blood better. If the fmv's were on par with Doom comic we would've had a cinematic masterpiece :D

Was it Flux magazine?

I couldn't begin to tell you, so your guess is as good as mine. I think i was thirteen when I read the article.

Disruptor, which was originally made for the 3DO. Too bad that port got canceled, or I'd totally have it in my library. I could go on for hours about why I love this game: the music that gets more intense when you take damage, the fact that no two level environments are alike, the smooth controls...

Killing Time wasn't good per-se, but it utilized FMV's in the best way possible: integrated them right into the levels, so the gameplay wouldn't stop every time an FMV started up. You could watch them at your liesure.

Damn, I dig those pics. A Baron of Hell, or Pinky/Cyberdemon thing for sure. When I get back to a good editor I need a new Avatar.

Dark FOrces II has the best FMVs imo.

Aw man these pics are awesome!

I totally need a "3DO conversion" wad that implements the music and also these pics somehow. Maybe the first pic for title, not sure where to use the second two.

Megarace. The gameplay is basic but fun enough, but when you add in the rad chiptune soundtrack and the hilarious FMVs, you get a real gem.

If it would have been anything like other games with videos in them, the characters would speak directly to the camera as if they were talking to you.

The Command & Conquer games?

Gabriel Knight 2 is a good game and it was made fully in FMV. Though the two attributes are entirely uncorrelated.

They mean well, but they come off as a bit cheap and cringy. The CGI effects are an obvious weak point, but the actors look kinda uncomfortable as well.

Resident Evil. That acting tho.

We need a Kickstarter to finally bring these unrealized Doom FMVs to fruition.

Yep.

We'll never recreate that weird time called the nineties, friend.

It seems odd that Heineman claims no FMVs were created when the newsgroup post indicates something other than still images were publicly demonstrated by Art Data at some point. Granted, if they had actually completed any FMVs, I imagine they would have tacked them on to the port regardless just so they wouldn't have been a total waste on their part. However, Heineman's wording suggests that she wasn't privy to everything Art Data was up to.

Perhaps this is too optimistic, but it seems like there's potentially more to the story here. Whether any tangible evidence has survived after so long is another story, but stranger things have surfaced these past few years.
