  • It was amazing.

  • Thanks alot for the 20,000+ views!

  • Motherfuckers removed the ability to use your flashlight AND gun.  >:(

  • @sk8rdood67 actually that added value to the game. having a bit more difficulty instead a game that helps you too much is much more funny.

  • Why? Why the most coolest things are always cut out from the final version?

  • I think this is more of the horror-game, ID Software was wanting to Make Doom 3

  • @Deader87 It was because of the technology back then that's why they were limited on what to put on. It says so on the book "The Making of Doom 3"

  • Nice. Interesting to see how much the level design evolved during the transition between that demo and the final product. And it's a good thing they polished up the weapon sounds, too.

  • I wonder why they didn't release the game by the end of 2003?

    I mean it looks pretty much complete even in this early alpha stage and the final release had no better physics and even dissapearing corpses

  • the shotgun was cooler

  • Also the Doom3 logo at the end looked way better than the one now.

  • Reznor's sound for the Pinky demon is amazing. It's sounds like a organic power transformer. It's too bad he abandoned the project.

  • I think the final release of DOOM 3 was way better than the alpha... much less smoke effects (thankfully), less annoying sounds, and the weapons to me seem less flimsy than in this video. But they really had this incredible engine running back in 2002? DAMN!

    I like that you get a gun-mounted flashlight instead of a handheld one though...

  • WOW! Better than the Doom 3 these days! I can't believe ID Software went dumb & gave Doom 3 to ATI! Seriously ATI programmers are fucking weak as hell! Even Quake III Arena was better before ID Software gave it to ATI & let them fuck it up! I still like Doom 3 & Quake III Arena when they were released, I'm just saying that if ID Software let MacWorld Leak them or ID Software Leaked them themselves they would have turned out to be much betters First-Person-Shooter Video Games! Fuck you ATI!

  • insane , i mean at 2001/02 when this alpha was leaked must have been the best looking game out there, in 2004 when the actual game came out it was still mind blowing even if the industry had caught up abit.

  • at least you could use the flashlight while holding a weapon in this one xD

  • Wow the alpha was actually much better. The shot gun looked way more realistic and the sounds of the guns were way better. And the imps fireballs were better. But i still love doom 3 dont get me wrong.

  • Shadow warrior sounds in Doom 3 (IMP)

  • THE ENDING WAS BADASS! Why would they remove that?

  • 2006?? I got this in like 2002 or 2003 I think...it ran SO bad but GOD was I blown away! It was like seeing Mario 64 or Unreal for the first time! I couldn't believe my eyes!

  • The sound was much better, than in final version. Too bad, they removed it :(

  • I wouldn't be surprised though if sooner or later they release a special-edition of Doom 3 where it's more like this.

  • IdTech4 engine on Doom 3 and Quake 4 is AWESOME, the engine is the BEST and is very easy to program and use, the lighting and shadows are great !

    Only the NEW IdTech5 engine for Rage and Doom 4 new games would do it better !

    Actually, Doom 3 and some of the millions of amazing mods available added has no rivals on 3D, gameplay, shaders are updated constantly adding Parallax, Relief, Bloom and many, many more good features ! IdTech4 engine is the number 1 since 2002-2004 to date !!!

  • The Doom 3 engine was pretty horrible. It couldn't even handle moving lightsources well. The game itself was "ok", but nowhere near as good as the classics. I didn't think it was scary as well. Unless you have no horror-experience at all that is.

  • What the Hell are you talking about? First off, the doom 3 engine was amazing-it's highest point was moving lightsources! it is still a great engine next to the unreal engine! second, the game was awesome despite some minor issues like AI, and what console did you play it on? if it was the Xbox, then no, it wasn't all that great because they ripped the game to shreds!

  • Haha, if it was so great then why is there only ONE zombie walking in the game with a lantern (remember that zombie walking down the stairs in the beginning of the game?). Believe it or not, but that one zombie with a lantern was the game-engine's highest point when it comes to lighting. id Software even confirmed this. Doom 3 is an ok game, but the game-engine isn't as good as id Tech 3, hence that all games running on Doom 3 engine (id Tech 4) look alike so much.

    I played both Xbox and PC.

  • Comment removed

  • heh, never knew that, thanks for the info.

    :)

  • Holy hell... i remember playing the Alpha version... but i don't recall seeing that ending sequence XD

  • HORRIBLE! The hellknight at the end was a trap, and I bet its unkillable! have pity on you for being trapped in doom alpha. May your digital game body rest in piece.

  • its possible to kill. you have to crouch when you see him and when crouching he wont be able to kill you. but how to get to the next level is unknown.

  • I dont think there is a way to get to the next level, the hellknight is supposed to be the end to the level like it kills you then its over.

  • No ragdoll physics on imps! GASP!

  • Actually, no, it's the Alpha. The Beta was never released Or Leaked. This is The Alpha Demo, Map e3/e3_3.

  • Comment removed

  • Interesting. It seems like the alpha version didn't have ragdolls physics. Though even the final version has pretty awful ragdolls.

  • It does have ragdoll, you can clearly see it has.

    Plus i remember playing this when it was leaked and being amazed at the zombie falling down the stairs at 4:16.

  • now i just wish they had all this included into the completed version of D3

  • I am Actually trying to do all that. The thing about actually putting models and MD5 Scripts into the Retail version is it is VERY complicated-Almost impossible.

  • Wow I can't Believe how much better in this Alpha then the finished product! The Imp and shotgun sounds make a mockery of the final games. Love the videos ending. Lastly noticed that the Imp was much more tenacious which is to bad Id did not keep it that way. :(

  • I feel the opposite... thank god they made the changes they did... this version looks highly unfinished.

    Flash light doesn't look right, and it's retarded that it's constantly on while holding other weapons.

    fuck this Aplha version - God, the guns sound retarded.

  • lol if this game will use Cryengine 2 it will be more scarier

  • i know...

  • I had this alpha long time ago. With 3 maps :D

  • 4 maps actually, plus the intro there actually are 5 maps, but 1 non-playable map

  • actually, the editor was available in the alpha the leak... cause ID had a tough time when people were making content before the game was even released

  • but it wasn't available in the reupped alpha's ?

  • Oh my god. I actually played this when it leaked. Since playing this two years before the actual release I was very disappointed with the final product.

  • Still not scary. No. Doom 3 is not scary. The way the gore and the monsters are presented to you doesn't make it any scarier than Doom 1 or 2. If anything, it's richer in sound effects, making it be taken more seriously.

  • well scaryer then F.E.A.R it just the girl and nothing els that try too scare you with BOOOO DOOM is more of WARAJDAJHDHAJHAODJADAJAAAAAA youl go like AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAAAAAH DIE DIE DIE

  • I mostly Agree with you. if you actually sit down and play the game, it really isn't that scary-just makes you jump every now and then...

  • I agree. People who think Doom 3 is scary really don't know a whole lot about scary things.

  • Either do you. Doom three was a revolutionary game despite what others think. it was a scary game on the PC, but on the Xbox it was nothing.

  • if it wouldnt have been leaked we would have ended up with this (it was almost ready to ship) yeah a lot better pistol gun sounds, and the imp fireballs were more like the originals.

  • how the hell do you know that ?

  • Comment removed

  • holyshit..

  • lol

  • is this a real level with different sounds.

    I liked the originall imp and pistol sounds.

  • How sad. id should of stuck with the alpha stuff. doom 3 would of been so much better...

    if your looking for stuff like this to actually PLAY then download dafama2k7's alpha mod.

    i dont have it anymore, but i played it.

    thank god there are an assload of mods for it. too bad the modders are too lazy to make entirely new models like half-life 2 SMOD.

    half life 2 is better. but with mods in doom 3. doom 3's better than hl2 without mods. then half life 2... it goes on and on and on......

  • Doom 3 is something different than HL2. If You want to shoot to beasts from hell You will not play in HL2. Besides, these are two different technologies. What is more, look at Bioshock, the best FPP game of year 2007. Bioshock reminds Doom3 very much. We can say that game went in the direction which doom 3 created, not HL2. If You want to compare HL2 with something, compare it with FAR CRY:]

  • omfgggggggggggggg man if i download that map the game it will be the same as this video??

  • The DOOM 3 alpha maps are playable in the DOOM 3 final.Its called E3-ALPHA 2k2 SP Demo Beta Maps (v1.0 | LITE).Size 8.68 MB.getit at filefront

  • imp dying sounds like a hell knight from doom2

    but I really like that shotgun looks ten times better then the new one I just dont like the sound the final sound would be awesome with that model

  • lags

  • every weapon in the alpha had a light on it?

  • this alpha thing was awsome, nice HUD, nice shotgun and nice bullet sounds, enemy sounds just everything and the best of all the coolest death scene ever in a game(for now) when the hellknight riped of the head of you, just awsome :D

  • yea but from where we can download the alpha man? tell me plzz

  • i got my from a torrent website, it took sometime before it loaded but i got it,try search google or piratebay for it ;)

  • Google will not give you anything! I Tried it a Few months ago-Ablolutley nothing but pictures, reviews, and dead torrents!

  • well...it was 7 months since i wrote this..then i had just got it so yes..wont suprise me if the torrents are dead, but if you are lucky..you could find a torrent :) or someone could send ya o:

  • I actually have, and i am using the files for my own mod for Doom 3! I got it from a friend, who got it from a torrent on a Private Torrent site. they've been down for about a year. Came back up under new management five months ago.

  • damn this was much cooler than doom 3 is, i just loved the bullet sounds, and the monster had some better sounds and the HUD is one of the best :P

  • I wounder if DOOM 4 will continue where resurrection of evil left off?"Marine welcome home."

  • the alpha looks alot better than the new version

  • Man I didn't quite realise how scary this version was until I saw it again right. I mean, man if they kept it the way it was it would be just a bit too scary to play at night. Say maybe there's

    a download somewhere.

  • WHere do i download this from?? please link

  • torrents

  • the beta/alpha had better pyshics,and although I don't mind the demons burning away, its still nice to seee that here they dnt

  • this version would have been ten times beter than the original.

  • Imp kinda sounds a little bit robotic or something,well,to me,idk about you ppl...

  • The gun sounds were better than the ones that were actually used in Doom 3.

  • agree...

  • The gun sounds were better than the ones that were actually used in Doom 3.

  • Probably created by Trent Reznor before he left the project. They couldn't use the sounds after he left so they created new ones.

  • wow...

  • oh my...the end was really...cruel and awesome...

  • Well, that ending ruled.

  • To all people, i got it from someone else and i don't have it anymore, just search for it on some torent sites i bet you will find some.

    Sorry for the late response, for a long time i was doing something diffirent then making movies of games.

    Greetzz

  • What an amazing end to an e3 map.

  • shit, the sound on this version was way better than in the final version, the weapons sound like shit and the Imp 4 example like a shitty squealer.

  • okay is it just me or is the retail version of doom 3 shit compared to this? lmao the alpha looks fuckin sweet!!

  • i still have the e3 :) it is very cool.

  • If you want the sounds from this E3 Alpha to be played in the retail version of Doom 3, download the Trent Reznor soundpack at filefront. Rename the PK4 file "TRSounds," and place it into the base folder.

  • I wonder if id will ever bring the beta program... Because it may be buggy, but it looks blidy awesome!

  • i think the alpha version is somehow much better than the retail version

  • This really shouldve been in doom 3. Much better way of introducing the pinky demon rather than it just climbing over some bars.

  • i shuld never eat when watchin these videos

    cool game though

  • Gruesome...

  • When the hellknight picks up the dead marine whats that thing that falls?? is it the arms or the full body less the head of course...

    i dont know its to dark to see!!!

  • Its the body of the poor marine...

  • Its not a hell night... Hell Knights are these HUGE beasts but are incredibly slow but overwhelmlingly powerful. That is The pinky demon, bulldemon what ever its called.

  • ide rather have the flashlight on the gun too..but i think they dident do it to make it more scary (cant shoot imidiately with the flashlight...SWITCH SWITCH MELEE MELEE o shit shit

  • I think Doom 3 would be better if it ended like it did on this one.

  • That ending scene when the hellknight rips your head off was fucking scary! Wish they kept it in so It will show the enemies don't bugger off after they kill you.

  • the flashtight system is way better

  • where can you get this alpha ?

  • You can't. It was shown at E3, in a video not as a demo, and was then leaked to the internet for a short amount of time. If you are lucky enough to find it ANY WERE then let my know....

  • yeah, i think the hero looked cool with a helmet. pistol sounded better. also i like the look of machinegun and the sound.

    but i really don't like that he's got "half-life" flashlight. the one in final version is more realistic and really good.

  • yeah the doom 3 helmet looks cool kinda makes you think of the master chief

  • lol i remeber that level i was like fuck!!!and me and my friends r like holy shit!!!

  • That would be awsm if you saw diffrent cutscenes like that after you die, depending on what hell creature killed you. Like a zombie turns you over and starts eating your guts ect.

  • I agreee, What do you think the sabaoths one would be like?

  • be like a hellkinght size zombie commando with robot legs

  • that's sick because the enemies don't disappear

  • You can download a simple file and put it where you installed doom3, and then the enemy's won't go away when killed.

  • Old doom 3 was better <:(

  • Please tell me where can I get the Alpha version of Doom 3. I tried a torrent, but it doesn't work.

  • yeah tell us where to get it...btw merry xmas guys

  • Found it here "btmon DOT com/Games/PC/Doom_3_Alpha_Spec­ial_Collectors_Edition.torrent DOT html"

  • But the torrent doesn't seem to work.

  • The alpha looks coller than the real doom

  • I've never seen the alpha before. It has the sound effects Trent Reznor made for the game before he left to go do a CD (With Teeth).

  • Wow this is amazing!

  • hey, if you still have this alpha, can you by any chance send it to me? or a least tell me where I can still get it PLEASE?

  • I like the look of that shotgun but i like the sound of the final doom 3 shotgun its too bad they did int use that shot gun instead of the other one=(

  • COOL! I like more this Doom 3 version and the stupid maint-skinny zombie.

  • ok i have nightmares o oU

  • cool^^ lol

  • Ironically i believe some of that level became Alpha labs.

  • a lot scarier than the final game

  • Looking at this and looking at the original, it would be the perfect game if they had combined elements from both. I think with Alpha, they went off Quake 4 for the design, to me it seems that they were going to add a flashlight to the weopons, but what's done is done. However, it would be great if id actually released the Alpha mod!

  • Yeah the alpha looks a little better in someways. The bodys are better when they don't dissapear after they have been kills, I think that they should have delayed the dissapearing sequence for a while longer.

  • Looks very polished for an alpha.

    Also, the ending is just gruesome...

  • Well now that's scary and there's much more gore... hmmm...

  • Damn...The alpha version looks so much cooler than the original... :-(, i must say that i was a bit disappointed with this game... Specially with the exploding corpses thing...

  • Wow, the original is so much different

  • I wish they could have used that shotgun in doom 3 because it looks awsome

  • shame that doom3 retail version was nothing like this ...the alpha has this real atmospheric creepy gory environment ..sounds, death animation, slower, blood splashs and tons of other removed stuff

  • wats the difference?

  • mainly the sound effects

  • Wow, its like if doom 3 continued on in a similar style to the old school ones. Running around with no fear just pumping lead into monsters. Either way I like both. :)

  • Wow. Look at how scary it isn't! O:

    Lolz. Anyway, good shit man. Good shit.

  • Iwonder why the game wasnt like this...

  • My god thats dodgey

  • hey, how did u get to play it? where u at E3, so u played it there? or how did u get to play it? is it on the web, or for torrent download some place?

  • Its called "illegal". :)

  • well, yeah... k.. i just look for it

  • That old style shotgun kicked so much ass.

  • Hey, why is there so many different stuff? Like, Different death, different weapons, ect...?

  • Read. Its the ALPHA version. Very much pre-release.

  • Suitflashlight like HL2!!

    another sucked retail

  • Fuck u fag

  • welche version is das

  • Aw this Version looks even beter than the version we have today :(

  • ew ho took off his head

  • SWEET! I loved the part where the marine died!

  • The Alpha Rocks! (aint sure but its a conflict between ID - Creative labs & Carmacks) that came the fact that we dont have the same product (alpha) as in the (final) release ! if anyones as better informations its welcomed :)

  • F'ing awesome! That was soo sweet!

  • The video was slightly choppy and the audio was messed, but thanks for the awesome footage. This demonstrates how much was taken out of Doom 3 between the alpha and the official release.

  • Oh forgot to add something, Hell Knight eating you alive was wicked cool!

  • The sounds of this game is much better than the full version. Also the sound of Pinky walking had that robotic sound, which was awesome as well. Even the game wouldve kicked ass if they used those sounds, and it was kick ass how Pinky first appeared, eating the corpse' guts.

  • hehehe xD yup it is

  • wow the marine had a helmet in that version!!! kool!!

  • dunno check..;)

  • what about programs like kazza, emule or Ares?? can i still download from there?

  • can you guys give me a link to download!! please!!!

  • nice :o

  • this looks feels and plays better than the final product

    scarier! the weapons are powerful a torch attatched to the gun way better sounds even though doom 3 was awsome it coulda been like this and been fucking insane? wat were the guys at id thinking, hey guys we should town down how good our game is because its a little to good to come out in 2004 so lets make it crapper.

  • Yea, well, too bad its damn near impossible to find these days..
