DOOM Eternal | Monsters Evolution | 1993 - 2020 | Direct Comparison

It’s like DOOM 2016 asked “How would the classic monsters look in todays graphics?” Where as DOOM eternal asked “How do we interpret the designs from 2016 to be more faithful to the original?”

DOOM 2016's enemy designs look more hellish and in some aspect, better than Eternal's in my opinion. Though Eternal gets huge points for staying much more closer to some of the OG Doom enemy designs.

Doom 3 looks like a seventh generation early life game, it's hard to believe it's a 2004 game.

Doom 3 demons fit super well into their environment. That game was freaking scary

[unwindasmr]

Doom 3 was truly horrifying at the time. I remember watching my dad play it and I’ve never been so scared

Title: Monsters Evolution
*Shows Doom Slayer first*
Me: *Damn right*

On this alone, Doom 2016 had a much more down to earth vibe while eternal had a more arcade feel. Loved both but I think the character design for 2016 was better

[tunit]

Doom Eternal character designs are generally closest to the OG Doom

[theblackhippy]

Doom 3 was on a whole other vibe, There designs were more horror based, not saying what they have now is bad, def gives an arcade vibe or classic vibe but, 3 gives me dead space / obsure vibes

One time my grandpa was watching me play doom eternal and he was like “Get the arachnatron!” And I was super surprised that he knew what they were called

[JMCatron]

A distinct thematic change in the visual models between 2016 and Eternal is that while in 2016 the demons all had melted faces and burned flesh, the Eternal demons all have distinct eyes, pupils, etc. I kinda like the creepier distorted 2016 demons better

[Wayward]

Doom guy: Why am I on a Monster list?
Also doom guy: *looks in mirror* oh

[jasonvoorheesvnce]

Pain elemental: Why can't you just be normal?

Lost soul: *[Screeches]*

[AlgoCurioso.]

I love how Doom 2016 characters models looks more realistic and has more individual animations per body part or weapons. Eternal characters look more stiff and doesn’t have the same body physics animations

[roberts]

Wow. Even though I like Doom Eternal a little more than 2016 Doom, I can't deny that the monsters were top-level in 2016 Doom.

[mescalink]

the doom 2016 cibermancubus looks like he has a vr setup

[clopheritearchive]

It's weird that when the doom 1 models move it looks like they're dancing

[indranighoshal]

Regardless of who says what, a few models were amazing in Eternal, majority were outstanding in 2016's Doom, and the OGs are great as well. Doom 3 is an exercise in realism and horror. You have to judge it differently.

[maxis_scott_engie_maximov_jr]

Doom 3 monsters are just freaky as hell, it's like something you would think is under your bed when you were a kid, absolutely terrifying

[xprt_respawn]

Every other game: looks pretty similar
