The industry apparently needs more RoboCop fans.

Great documentary. Hugo seems like an awesome dude.
Watching part 1, I felt bad for the people that poured so much into Doom 4 1.0, but after watching part 2, it's more clear to me why Call of Doom was a bad idea. Who wants to be just another soldier in a world wide resistance getting beat down by the demon menace, when you can be a near god that the demons fear as you blow through their entire army. It's like those "who can beat Doom guy in a fight" forum threads were made into a game and the answer is still no one, or maybe Jackie Chan.
I just love this! Hopefully we get many documentaries out of these guys.
Some quality work here and they highlight the best things! Much better than a PR making off that's not able to point to any mistakes. The product is good, we know that by know, show us what went (nearly) wrong and how you fixed it!

After finishing the second episode I am disappointed I don't get to listen to more Hugo.

I love to know how iD are planning to follow up on Doom.
Also Hugo is now my #1 favourite guy in the industry.

I mean, the game ends with a clear set up for either a sequel or single player DLC.

Hmm............... this is getting a bit too saccharine for my tastes.

I meant would they in future double down on Doom, or try to resurrect another of their old properties like Quake or Rage.

What would they call the sequel tho? Doom 2?
2 Doom 2 Furious?

Yeah that bit was so good, I remember reading about it around the time but didn't expect that.
Enjoyed both parts alot, DOOM is my GOTY and I think Hugo is my new fav dev!
This documentary really shows how valuable constantly going back to the drawing board can be, even at a late stage of development.

This is really good filmmaking. Huge kudos to Danny.

Its great to watch this as someone who works in game dev. There's a lot to be learned and it's always interesting to hear how others respond to the same challenges facing you. I'm so glad the game worked for these guys after all the obstacles and kinks they overcame to achieve such a fantastic game.
I hope they work on something else for the next one - a true sequel to Quake 1 or something like Hexen. Counterplay the technology angle with something based on magic or lovecraftian...

So refreshing to see someone be so unapologetic about brushing off AAA industry trends for something straightforward and badass.
I hope he's involved with DOOM 2016 2.
OK, I'll join the Hugo love parade. Guy's amazing.
Absolutely.
(I also hope they put in some real mod tools this time)
edit: Screw it, I'll join the Patreon. Gotta support people putting out quality work like this.

I love hearing them talk about this game. They seem to really respect the player. "You want Doom, we'll give you Doom and we won't bog you down with bullshit. Have fun."
The amount of thought, care, and talent that went into this project is astounding. So much attention to detail, not just in the presentation but in the pure player experience.

Doom 4 1.0 and low poly Doom looked quite cool. I hope they resurrect 1.0 as a different IP.
Great stuff so far.
One thing I found interesting about this part is how hard it was for them to finally reach the 'self-aware' solution they did. It isn't like Hugo showed up with this stuff on day one. It sounds like they spent almost two years iterating through various versions of "I think it might be demons..." before they finally found this self-aware tone.
Props to them for finding it and having the bravery to see it through. The basic idea of it ignores the rulebook for modern AAA 3D games, and it's also a very counterintuitive solution to the playtesting feedback it sounds like they were getting. I'm glad that they had enough faith in their idea to execute it to the point where it seems like the most obvious thing in the world.

That's the typical creative process in all studios. Read up on some postmortems and you will find that a lot of the solutions to problems or game directions only came together in the final stages of development.
Jumping on the Hugo is awesome train.
I do agree with those saying that Doom 4 1.0 should be spun off as it's own IP seperate from Doom. It looked maybe a tad too much like Rage, but with a new direction that concept could work amazingly well. Slap a new name on it and alter the story and created a bit - awesome new 'id' IP.

If DOOM 2 goes Hell on Earth, I can see elements popping up again.

As probably my GOTY 2016, this documentary is absolutely fascinating.
I can tell between part 1 and 2 that the game turned out the way it did because the right people worked on it.
