Purported Doom 4 Images Surface

A number of screenshots that appeared online recently are believed to be from id Software’s upcoming shooter, Doom 4

According to reports, the images surfaced from environment artist Thao Le's online portfolio, which has since been taken down. There's over 170 images made up of art assets, character models, and scenery.

We don't know yet if these images are from Doom 4 or possibly another unnamed id Tech 5 project. Bethesda would not comment on whether or not these images are related to Doom 4. The company assures, however, that the game is still very much in development.

You can check out more images here.

  • Meh, not big on the setting if it is a Doom game. Prefer the spooky, more sci-fi setting of Doom 3. Reminds me more of RAGE meets Silent Hill and. Frankly post-apocalyptic is starting to become played out, much like zombies.
  • So I suppose if Doom 3 was a "soft" remake of Doom 1, Doom 4 must be covering the same territory as Doom 2: Hell on Earth? Id Tech 5 still looks gorgeous-ish. The tech is great, but the art is just "dark" and "gritty" - not really the kind of stuff to show off beauty. Some of these look as good as Rage, others look like... I dunno...Fear 3, though. I wonder if this is even actually Doom 4? I mean, taking it out of military installations...it kind of looks like it's "just another shooter" now. I mean, how many FPS' take place in ruined cities? ALL of them, perhaps? Especially now that everyone is chasing Call of Duty, *sigh*. Add more fire and brimstone, id. And satanic symbols and stuff. And "Eldritch Abominations" (link:http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EldritchAbomination)These locales look too bland right now.

    Welcome to yesterday.

    Like the article says, Bethesda hasn't denied the screens, so there is a possibility of these being true. Unless the game's been in development for some time, I doubt it'll make this gen or it'll be at the end of it given id's track record. Though I'm not a really a fan of id to be honest so I'm meh on a Doom 4.

  • Hopefully it's not Rage 2, that game was a waste of my time and money.
  • Reminds me of the city parts of DOOM II.

  • Nice screenshots.

  • The thing I love is that Pizza Boy II is in my area!

  • I really wish doom 4 would come out sooner.

  • I was going to say Fallout 4, but the architecture is all wrong for that. I don't think Doom 4.
  • It certainly looks pretty.

  • they should use this engine for fallout 4 for sure, the detail of destroyed buildings and stuff

  • Really? *** man, I was hoping it'd be more than just DOOM 2 again.

  • Doom 4 or Rage 2, they are both amazing series!

  • I hope Fallout 4 looks as good as that.

  • I really hope this is not Doom 4, it would be great if id did something crazy (as long as it contained plenty of shotgun and BFG fun).

  • 7 picture looks immense but if its 3d or a matte painting or a combination of the two though.

  • Looks um..well, like Rage in a lot of the shots. Not surprising but..just thought I'd say that.

    I do hope they are returning to Doom. There's just somethin about that series..

  • Doom? This certainly doesn't look like Doom at all. Not sure why anyone would think it does. As far as I know, Doom is in the future? This is too close to modern day.

  • This looks amazing. Time to kick it into high gear ID.

  • I wish they'd make Doom a bit more into an open world adventure instead of being so linear. Something more akin to Fallout 3 but perhaps less RPG centric (although I wouldnt mind some RPG flare). But it would be amazing to walk around a post apocalyptic world, except the twist would be, hell has invaded.
