Amazing stuff Mr. Romero

 

[Ingueferroque]

So fucking cool. They really nailed everything with this game. I'm somehow baffled that Doom came out a few months after Jurassic Park.

 

[Dictator93]

Woke up this morning and saw them. The pile of corpses, the unused wall textures, and the extra doom-guy death sprites are awesome.

Doom is sooo good.

 

[Mr_Antimatter]

I'm still amazed that the sprites were based off actual models.

This pic is just awesome!

I love it when old unseen stuff comes up, and I love DOOM, so this is a cool thing to see. I'm trying to imagine those pinkie explosions in a room full of them, that would be pretty wild.

 

[KittenMaster]

Thank you G-Fex for providing the fantastic pictures.

 

[PetriP-TNT]

That Doomguy death animation rules so much

Always knew that door looked messed up for some reason.

 

[samwizered]

Wow, some of these are pretty damn cool!

Now how long before someone mods all this stuff back into the game?

 

[VelveteenTouch]

How the heck did I never notice the Mastermind had ARMS?

 

[IdreamofHIME]

Get a haircut hippie.

 

[Crayon]

Thanks for posting these. This is great. My first contact with this game was just turning a corner ar frys to see it running on a 486. The scaling sprites were so fast and smooth and numerous i could hardly take it all in.

 

[TAJ]

Those models were so badass. Are they still around somewhere? They should be in a museum.

Still at id last I heard, which was... a year ago, roughly?

Time for a real HD remaster

 

[PhantomZone]

Awesome behind the scenes pictures, incredible how the game still lives on today.

 

[biteren]

EDIT: i now fully expect these sprites to be in the next version of Brutal DOOM!

 

[Daffy Duck]

Makes me want to fire up Doom CE and play it.

Wow these are great. Dat door...

 

[Jotamide]

Time for a replay? Time for a replay.

 

[fastballspecial]

This is awesome. Thanks for sharing. What a groundbreaking game.

 

[Dictator93]

An HD remaster of doom would be pretty awesome if possible. More detailed and hand drawn (or scanned in!) sprites with more animation frames for some stuff.

That would be interesting to see how someone could maintain the style.

The best HD attempt I've seen was mostly just hand cleaned sprite up-scaling.

There was also a mod that added a ton of animation frames to everything, but it looked awful because sometimes you need a bit of jumpiness in animation to convey motion properly (everything was made to be animated way too smoothly).

there is a project to make HD sprites for doom, im not sure how far along it came but it looks interesting

These are really great. I can't seem to ever get enough behind the scenes stuff for DOOM

Doom is a timeless classic that aged incredibly well. Playing with a modern source port the game is still way more fun than 90% of the modern shooters. I replay the Doom series like every year and still can't get enough.

I love seeing pictures of how they made it.

 

[Terrified]

Pinkie was drawn over what looks to be a Jurassic Park toy

Yep, think it's the Dilophosaurus figure, of which I used to have 3, because dinosaurs:

 

[Matt_C]

Shame Bethesda/Zenimax does not make many retro remakes but 3d scanning those models in a HD polygon DOOM remake would be badass. Heck I loved the Classic Doon mod for Doom 4.

 

[AdanVC]

Awesome stuff! This game is a timeless classic.

This pic is just awesome!

All the stuff that made the 90s so freaking cool are in this photo.

[anthn]

That cyberdemon is a clay model.

Mind blown.

They should have used that pile of meat!

 

[SniperHunter]

You guys should really read, "The Masters of Doom," incredible story on how these two started the empire. Loved it a lot!

That Dilo was so badass.

 

[zephervack]

Are all the pictures gone? They dont load at all.

 

[Amentallica]

I just want to know when a new Doom is set to release.

 

[lazygecko]

I'll bet Doom modders are going to immediately salvage these assets and rework them into the game somehow.

 

[thelatestmodel]

Incredible stuff. Time for a game of Doom I think, it's been a long time.

 

[ghostjoke]

brb, replaying doom

 

[Ifrit]

Do those clay models still exist?

If they somewhow rescan those models at a better resolution to update the doom sprites, would be the best thing ever

 

[Terrified]

That Dilo was so badass.

Removable frill for the win. And now, I get to mentally link a badass dino with an awesome game, and thus my life has improved immeasurably.

 

[bathsalts]

this is so badass, the goosebumps are real.

 

[Skab]

Some how this makes me love Doom even more.
