Imagine in the last two stages davoth leaves the crab suit and the fight switches styles where he copies your moves and is much more aggressive and quick
The fight we always wanted
V2 moment
Thats v2
What I envisioned was first two phases are in the mech suit, second two are out of the suit, final and longest phase he transforms into this gigantic demonic dragon creature and you’re climbing on him like in shadow of the colossus to finish him off before he returns to human form on his knees and you stab him
that would slap to a despicable degree
Why they went for a big crab mech for Davoth is beyond me.
Most likely crunch considering the boss fight was meh too
It genuinely sucks that doom Satan is just some generic sci fi power armor dude.
DL is like 5 ideas at once that could've been cooler if seperate and is why i made a blogpost called "Deconstructing the Dark Lord".
Time constraints were the reason
I think Davoth with a mech is cool tho
I was pretty disappointed that the dark lord had to hide in a mech to fight.
Most of us were
The Dark Lord boss fight was disappointing as well. So repetitive and boring.
It was mainly a gameplay choice. The devs want larger hit boxes for bosses, instead of a smaller man to shoot at
I have a strong feeling that many of the designs were rejected due to tech limitations or time constraints.
There's no need for theories or speculation regarding concept art. This is a natural part of the game creation process, artists typically create a large variety of designs for every character/weapon/environment and slowly perfect each element over time. Concepts are often rejected/approved based on the needs and visions behind each project, not due to time constraints or technological limitations.
Characters, bosses and content get dropped during most game development directly because of time restraints. @@HordeModeGaming
The concept art for doom eternal is so awesome. Imagine what Eldritch designs we'll see in a future Doom game!
The potential is exciting!
or heck even a Quake game, it's all in the same universe or multiverse or what have you!
We really need that dark lord . Making a mirror boss fight for slayer and davoth is very better idea and actually make sense
That just sounds so much better
We already have "mirror fights" in Deathmatch multiplayer.
@@Nutty151Yea but is only in MP and modded ony .
They had ideas even having Devoth transform into a Dragon Demon .
Isn't that already what the Marauder is for?
The Gladiator 1st phase is already the slow, bulky, tanky Marauder boss fight and the Davoth boss fight is mainly that, but with more health and the healing per hit thing.
I wish after beating Davoth in his mech suit he pealed it off exposing he’s in a praetor suit (like the gif taking off sunglasses to reveal another pair) 😂
That would've been cool 😂
I don’t understand why a being that had the ability to create reality’s needed a mech suit. He’s the fuckin devil. He should have been some kind of giant demon dragon monster
It's a bit silly
@@HordeModeGaming it was to contain his power I'm pretty sure
Yeah but if he’s basically evil doom guy I don’t mind their evil doom guy suit even if it’s kinda silly when he’s the devil. Also what’s worse? Fighting a giant monster or fighting the doomslayer? Yeah I get his thought process if it was just doom guy is the worst guy to fight so ima stick with evil doom guy
He just wanted to make sure he didn't die after deeming that his death causes all demons out of hell disintegrate. Anything he deems true becomes reality
That was there original plan they wanted you to pilot an atlan for the last phase. That's why they are in dark ages probably.
I always thought a grim reaper type enemy or boss would be awesome, since it would be like doomguy is literally defeating death itself
Looks like we could've had one
Yeah, I didn't enjoy the reveal of the dark lord's suit- it felt like he was so weak that he needed this massive robotic armor to protect him. I thought he would've been more intimidating if he had the corrupted praetor suit that was shown.
Same, just not what he should've been
What I would’ve liked is for the Icon of Sin battle to commence in the area you find the Icon of Sin in DOOM 2016, but with a twist, with a 2-part battle, the first part being the Icon of Sin Telepathically fighting the Slayer with the original attacks, but upon the defeat of the first part, the Icon of Sin could burst free from the area, taking us as the slayer across the city by the throw of its hand, before coming in and swinging a punch upon us, throwing us through the building we landed on and onto the rooftop of the second part’s arena, it would’ve been a great callback to the previous Doom games featuring the Icon of Sin but also bringing something new to the fight that would’ve been amazing, plus it would’ve explained that one bit of footage where the Icon of Sin ran into frame behind a set of flames as he swung a right hook, upon the camera, unarmored and enraged.
Sounds like a cool idea
@@HordeModeGaming thanks, it would’ve made an even bigger connection to Doom 2016 because I have a feeling it was a waste to add the Icon Of Sin into Doom 2016 if he wasn’t gonna be contributing to the game at all and if the Boss of the game was just gonna be the Spider Mastermind.
I person love the Dark Lord being in a Gundam
I definitely wouldn't call that a gundam
honestly the DOOM hunter with tank tracks looks a lot cooler than the flying sled imo.
Makes it look heavier
Also a call back to Sabaoth boss in
Doom 3
@@gamingjunkie707 ohhh yeah
now imagine that with a damn agaddon hunter on it.
Imagine in the end of the fight you destroy the suit of davoth he comes out in the concept armor and you havr to do a fist fight and in the end you punch him so hard you end up destroying the universe and throw davoth into the void
Sounds wild
Icon of sin and fat Boi would have been a lot better
I'm fine with the IoS design we have
The alternate Gladiators are cool, but i love the idea that the final one is a class Hell Knight. Very fun way to use an old design
It's the best design imo
A lot of doom eternal part 2 potential to be seen with this
Absolutely, tons of good ideas
We've been robbed 😭
Hoodwinked 😭
Im such a huge fan of the concept art doom hunter. Also when/if ID continues the series we need an argent dnur ancient war game. Imagine if they give doomguy a war horn to get help from sentinals... Not that he needs it
I'm also a huge fan of the original concept art for the Hunter, the pale skin and more lifeless appearance is great. One of my favorite demons
The Doom Hunter looks fire🗣🗣🗣🗣🥶🥶🥶🥶🔥🔥🔥
They cooked 🔥🔥🔥
Cyborg sargent Kelly
They should've kept the original design for Davoth.
I definitely agree
They're was definitely time crunch with the dlc which is disappointing because it really failed to live up to the base game
Time crunch on top of working under pandemic conditions
The demonic Khan maker is fire🔥
Clean as hell 🔥🔥🔥
I love the unused Kalibas Design, is one of my favorite ones. A Giant Fat demon with a disgusting design (in a good way) is something we need. Looks like a god or somerhing. I hope it gets used later PLEASE.
I'm sure we'll see something like that one day
The demonic Khan Makyr looks like the flying demon that the slayer throws his shield at in the new trailer
The Khan is completely cybernetic while the new Revenant is an organic skeleton with dark armor
The lack of bosses in doom franchise kinda annoys me, as much as the ones we have are great, some of those would’ve been great
Maybe we'll get more next time
Try doom 3 with its *7* its not allot compared to iter games but that's more then 2 in the first game, 3 because Icon, 2 again for 16 and the like 4-5 in eternal... Although the doom RPGs exist too
That robot doom hunter looks way better, wished they went with that version.
I like the one we got more, although it would've been cool to see the pale skin featured in the concept art
@@HordeModeGaming I do like the one we got aswel, but there's something about them tank treads that makes it more menacing and heavier.
@@HordeModeGaming kinda like the Terminator HK Tank.
Not gonna lie, Davoth's early concept design looks much better than final design. Imagining the contrast to Doom Slayer being the one who's here to slay humans instead of demons.
I think most people agree that his concepts look much better than what we got
fighting a hell titan like maligog would be far greater than the battle against the icon of sin
You're asking for the same thing
But it wouldn't be ICONIC though
@@a.f9234 that's a good one haha
@@HordeModeGaming a more epic same thing, then
I mean I feel like killing a being that can make universes collapse and be corrupted becoming one with hell is A pretty bad ass thing
i want full screen versions of these images
You can find them pretty easily online
This video had 199 comments so I decided to add my own. You know how to make it even. Lol
Thanks lol
That praetor suit is fucking sick
Demonic Khan Maykr and Armor Davoth boss fights would be really cool it would have been interesting to see Davoth not killed off early in DLC he might have good potential will without rushing DLC like warrior version of Davoth with alternate boss fights
Would've loved to see Davoth in his own game
@@HordeModeGaming totally agree 💯 Davoth needs he's own game we need more lore entries would be cool
That Demon King concept looks WAY more badass and appropriate than the mech design of the Dark Lord
I'd have to agree
You should also bring up that old scrapped final phase of the Dark Lord fight where Hugo mentioned a scrapped cutscene where The Dark Lord was supposed to turn into a dragon for the final part of the fight.
I think you or someone mentioned this in sn old video before. But hopefully someone can find snd link to that.
Sad we never got a final phase to shake things up a notch.
I'm sure others have mentioned it, but I know that I've talked about it a handful of times in a few different videos
"the Hulk buster" 😂
I feel like the doom hunter tank design if was implemented as a boss fight would be A upgraded version of Sargent Kelly's fight in doom 3
In fact, it would be cool if the surviving ARK Forces and their mechs joined the Sentinel forces.
I’m pretty sure Davoth was to have much more in his boss fight. Development and hell and COVID-19 seriously hindered it. Hugo Martin said that they wanted him to turn into a hellish dragon in the end. Could you believe it? That’s awesome. So many times we could’ve had epic dragons, but they were cut out eventually. First Megatron, now Davoth.
God dammit, why didnt they used that model of the darklord? The one they used looks not cool at all
Not a fan of the current one
The original doom hunter looks like the strog from quake 2
I cant wait to see what unused content comes out next! Love seeing amazing ideas and being let down
Have fun looking at cool concept art instead of forcing yourself to be upset, you may live a happier life!
Im almost 100% sure the old kalibas design is taken from Cthon from quake
Cthon after he settled down and got an office job
Davoth was a fkn disappointment, literally just a multiple stage Marauder fight with a guy in a hulkbuster suit. Any of those conept art iterations would have a t least looked better, and I wish they'd just delayed TAG2 until they could finish the phase where he turns into a giant demonic dragon.
Unfortunately legal issues prevented them from delaying TAG 2
Damn, i do like Davoths current suit but i do like the concept better. Coming from the guy who bought the Davoth statue for thr collection.
I just can't get behind the huge hulk buster mech being used by someone that's supposed to be equal to the Slayer
The Dark Lord literally has a TitanFall 2 mech
TF2 mechs are cool, his is lame
That last one though.......
Dude is packing some straight heat...
Cool but sadly still no mighty doom support for the Philippines
That's sad man
Ahh, I need to play some doom eternal. It's been too long. Best game ever.
Get back to it
If they took another year on thr base game and really focused on bosses we could have had something so much more epic
That scythe carrying enemy thing looks weird to me, is it official? It looks like AI art to me.
That IOS throwback stage and those gladiator designs look cool.
DH with tank wheels looks like a throwback to the Sabaoth.
Kalibas' unuse design seems related to those loyal archdemons, who remind me of Barlowe and could've been put next to the unused temple carrying demons and Barlowe's D4 designs.
Dark Lord should've been a proper "anti-Doomguy", that i even think a knight armor could've been used for something else.
Like Hell creating a Doomguy clone just because.
(or even Doomguy's boss from D1's manual becoming his own anti-Slayer too)
The knight armor isn't bad, i'd just give it to a giant humanoid from Hell that's like an homage to Goliath the giant.
And that knight/Praetor armor looks like fanart, is it not?
Yes, it's official. The concept comes from Emerson Tung's personal portfolio, which includes four images used during the development of Eternal's story. The original image is very small, so it may look like AI due to being enlarged, brightened and rebalanced. Here's a link to his portfolio, it's at the bottom on the right side. emersontung.com/doom-eternal
The concept shown at the end is also official, it's early concept art for the Marauder created by Emerson Tung, I'll leave a link to that as well. I don't use fan art or AI generated art in my content, especially not during shorts where I have very little time to clarify if what I'm using is real or not. twitter.com/emersontung/status/1323295234445496325
@@HordeModeGamingI see it now, got it.
I was also refering to the third DL/Davoth image that shows up after the monochrome concept art and before the Marauder concept with the green visor.
At least i thought that one was fanmade.
@@Sniff738 That one was created by Alex Palma, posted on his Twitter alongside the monochrome concepts. It's honestly one of my favorite designs in the entire franchise twitter.com/APalma_concept/status/1445428181591203843
Yeah, Davoth's crab suit is a weird choice. But I like to think it was made to represent how much more powerful the Slayer is.
Yes, Davoth was basically a god. But when he needs a whole ass mech suit to even have a chance against the Slayer, it shows just how even the Dark Lord feared the power of the Doomslayer.
We may need to wait for more lore to get a good reading on Davoth's power level
I was honestly hoping the dark lord was just gonna be the marauder, but 10 times worse.
You pretty much got your wish, he's a giant marauder with terrible programming
@@HordeModeGaming I haven't managed to get the dlc for myself, but I've seen the footage. Doesn't him being bigger make home easier to hit? How bad is his difficulty?
...honestly i would have digged multiple gladiators as bosses instead of just recycling regular enemies as "bosses."
Doom eternal is cursed with having inferior bosses to me than 2016 simply they feel like glorified horde puzzles rather actual bosses with new attacks and actually fun mechanics.
The exception to this rule was the gladiator, and that's literally because his mooks would sit on the sides instead of assaulting you immediately. So he actually fights you on your level and it's actually really fun.
With doom eternal getting mod support soon I really hope smne remakes the davoth boss fight to one similar to v2
I'm sure we'll get tons of Dark Lord boss reworks
@@HordeModeGaming I definitely hope so, having the final boss being a mirror version of yourself would really be a fun challenge!
But i love the hulkbuster though 🗣🔥
Oh they're so much better than the Hulk buster 😢
Wish we would've got one of these 😢
I’m hoping they got an original final boss for Dark ages instead of reskins for old bosses. Like how they did for davoth
And in guessing they thought the more traditional dark lord look was too generic and the demonic praetor suit was too similar to the marauder and goes against doom guy having the only praetor suit found or did the thing where they got a bunch of cool ideas and mixed them together. And some are wondering why Davoth just chose to be in a mech but I think it’s cuz he thought the worst thing u could go up against was just doomslayer so he just cosplayed as him. Cuz why choose to be a giant monster when u can be doomslayer and which would you rather fight?
*Dark Lord concept art looks FARR BETTER imo*
I definitely agree
Davoth deserved better fight and armor. He was a freaking mighty god, not a handicapped one that requires bigass mech to fight...
ill always kinda hate that the dark lord final boss was just a mech
It's not a good fight anyways
@@HordeModeGaming no really it's not
Hay horde mode how ya been just wanted to say hope you lifes good and gamma sphere is coming along somewhat smoothly with a few detours but it's alright
I've been well, how're you? Glad to hear things are going relatively smoothly!
@@HordeModeGaming I'm good and going to be graduating high school soon
@@wreakertalesans1665 Hell yeah man, that's awesome
Khan Reaper!
Good name!
Well where did you get the early concept art for the icon of sin boss battle? Would you like to send the link?
Both of them come from the Doom Eternal Art Book
Where did you get the art for the Icon of Sin arena
The Art of Doom Eternal
@@HordeModeGaming I don't remember seeing it
I would still say the franchise still need a final game to end it
Killingdavoth doesnt seem to emd, when consodering the devil would really never fulfilhis promises
We'll get another, it's not over yet
Not used in fully released version.
Yeah, that's what this short is about!
Nekrovol was going to have a boss?
It already has one!
@@HordeModeGaming But I played both parts 1 and 2 of Nekravol and didn’t find any bosses
@@BenG6509 Kalibas, The Sightless Judge. Big brain, you have to punch through it to continue on through the level
Having the Dark Lord be in armor similar to Slayer's would've been soo much better
That way it truly would be "You in their world", and an actual Duel
In all seriousness tho why does king of goddamn pecking Hell need high-tech armor to fight the Slayer
Like dude the Slayer released you from your eternal slumber in a gumball and has the audacity to fight you, why not uphold your honor and fight like a true 1v1
The high tech mech suit was honestly pretty lame, that demonic Praetor suit would've slapped
Bruh the bosses were disappointing honestly, I struggled more against a Marauder than against Davoth, the Khan Maykr or The Icon of Sin 💀💀
Sounds like you're just incredibly bad at the maurader fight
@@amanbirbthe4th967 I 100% agree lmao
@@zeph5800
It's the easiest boss in the game if you don't just treat him like every other boss or enemy
@@amanbirbthe4th967 I mean the Marauder boss fight was easy as hell, but it was hard for me when there were several Marauders or 1 Marauder + a shit load of other demons
I didn’t dig the dark lords suit design
The final version is a bit of a miss imo
Never gotten first before
Still haven't
@@HordeModeGaming I thought I got first, I forgot to reload to check
Not saying that they are but but the First one Looks ai generated so some of the other might be but who knows
All artwork used in this short is official id Software concept art, and not a single one of them looks AI generated
