This series will cover all classic Doom demons, examining their original forms and their more recent iterations. These videos take longer to produce, so I will be releasing them in parts, eventually compiling them into one hour-long video. Hope you like it!

  9. By the way, fun fact according to strings of doom 2016 closed alpha apollyon was supposed to appear but not as a type of archvile/summoner like in doom rpg, but as one of two olivia Pierce's Guards the second was called abbadon, they were eventually reworked into hell guards, they can be seen on concept arts and in the 2nd part of the old noclip doom documentary using hell knight Models as placeholder, olivia's guard model but without textures there are in the files of the final game, also the textures of the hell guard model that used in the game are called olivia's guard.

  18. Fun facts about theses demons:

    -leftover code suggest that the Doom 3 Archvile was going to ressurect demons instead of summoning them. This was canned when the death animation for npcs were replaced with insta-burning ragdolls.

    -The photo of a sculpted model of an unused female demon for Doom 64 was comfirmed by the original artist to have been the Archvile. He even depicted the beast as having hair wich isn't present on the model.

    The Barons of Hell were originally going to be introduced in Doom 3 as four bosses wich we would have had to defeat in order to obtain the soul cube. The book called "The making of Doom 3" explains that we would have originally traveled trought four hell levels instead of just one (said level is actually called hell01 in the game files.) The book explains that each Baron would have had different shaped horns and each guarded a peace of the soul cube. This was canned and replaced by the Guardian for unkown reasons.

  38. I hope they beef up the Archvile in the new game. He was a straight up menace in Doom 2 but since you get the BFG around the time the Archvile is introduced in Eternal, you can basically just delete him before he does anything
