3DO DOOM (Full Motion Videos) -canceled-

[ItsMeMario]

Sorry if this is old news (I know it is)

But as I couldnt find it on assembler...and just learned about it today, while playing various 3DO games...

"Art Data", the company who did the DOOM port for the 3DO, planned to do FMVs (full motion videos) with actors for their port of DOOM.

After working on it for 2 years, they got asked to do a simple port in 10 weeks...

I wonder what it would have looked like...here is a glimpse of it...in 2015 Rebecca Heinemann twittered about it...see end of this post.

Woah, glad they changed their mind lol...

Wow that is pretty interesting. Can you imagine if they used digitized actor sprites for the characters though? Like imagine keeping the game largely the same, but having digitized actors instead of regular sprites. Kinda like how the Street Fighter the Movie game was? That might have actually worked.

These actually look kinda cool in a silly way, and would've loved to see more.

The CD inlcudes a FMV folder in "System\Devices". Sadly all I could find there was the standard "iamaduck"

I remember reading an article back in the 90s about a Doom movie being vaguely discussed with Id, and they quoted Id as having said something along the lines of wed rather wait and see if Doom has the lasting power for a sincere movie effort to be made, rather than a half-assed cash-in that wont ...

Damn, now that's something we've got to see! I'm a big fan of FMV games for their hilarious cutscenes, a Doom game with these things would've been fantastic (maybe a bit cheesy but prehaps pretty enjoyable)!

DOOM is the gift that continues to give.

Cheesy or not (most likely very cheesy), I would love to see more of this!
