Believe it or not folks, but we got a leaked Doom 4 alpha version in our hot little hands right now!
For starters, here's a screenshot and here's a a map view to give you the first glimpse.
So, to get right to the point and a description of the alpha, here goes. Apparently id is going to make Doom 4 a faithful HD remake of the first Doom, similar to what Serious Sam HD did to the original Serious Sam game. As you might’ve guessed, the alpha is in a very barebones state and uses tons of placeholder resources from Doom and Doom 3. Three levels are in a playable state: E1M1, E1M3 and E2M2. The status bar face, Imp and Demon graphics have been renewed as well as a bunch of textures, but apart from that it’s just a bunch of placeholders or recycled stuff being used until the actual HD resources are finished.
So here's the basic laydown. We'll definitely post more info once we get to play around with the alpha more thoroughly.
