First Doom 4 Production Shots Revealed

An anonymous reader writes "Actor Brad Hawkins has been tapped to do motion-capture work for Doom 4, and revealed that the game features the military and civilians fighting side by side. Does this mean the game is set on Earth for sure? GGL Wire has an interview with Hawkins and a selection of production shots. '[Filmmaker Mark Bristol] was very specific on the civilians having a certain personality and the military characters having a separate one as well. The body language of the civilians is less, well, "trained." They carry their guns in a looser fashion and are a little sloppier when they run, a little more freestyle. The military characters are sharp as razors, with very swift moves, exact hand positioning and can turn on a dime.'" This follows news from last month that British novelist Graham Joyce was brought in to develop the story for the game.

Doom 3 was actually a very well executed game with good level design and well written game progression. It just wasn't what people expected.

Which means it was poorly executed, because the goal is to sell people what they will buy.

However having said that, I'm not sure I care anymore either. FPS games bore me nowadays, and Id seemingly can only make those.

Honestly the only FPS I'm playing these days is Star Wars: Battlefront 2, and it's on my Xbox. The control scheme leaves something to be desired (mouse+keyboard FTW) and some levels choke hard on that video+cpu combo but I don't have to use my PC to play. I just don't have time to play games that take hours any more. If I try to play an RPG I'll get interrupted to do some chore or look at a plant or a shiny rock so much that I can never get into the story. (It's still worth it, mind you. Anyone who thinks video games are better than girlfriends has had the wrong girlfriends, or needs to tell me what games they're playing.)
