It would've been cool if they included this version of the suit in DE as skin. The lore behind it could be that the ARC were trying to design their own version of the Slayer's Praetor suit.

The Ipad Hayden design is how I imagined VEGA would looked like as a robot before his voice went through puberty in Ancient Gods 1

Ipad Hayden looks so goofy🤣

Doom Slayer killing the Night Sentinel feels like trying to get the coin from them in Eternal

ipad hayden looks like the robot that works at amazon and has depression

Hayden being this goofy friend-shaped thing would have fit 2016's UAC so well.

They should reuse that suit for a Doom game from the perspective of a survivor.

Samuel Hayden's friendlier design looks like a phone that gained sentience 🤣

That Hayden design that kinda resembles a revenant looks cool ngl. Curious what explanation would’ve been given to such look

I think the npcs got repurposed as the hologram playbacks you can find throughout the game

All of these concept designs are super cool! Especially the ones for Doomguy and Hayden!

That suit probably was a holdover from the "call of doom" prototype they were working on before it became doom 2016

Why tf hayden look like ultrakill soldiers

I really like the prearor suit. It feels like an upgraded version of the original marine

Proto Hayden looks like a stray from ultrakill

Ipad hayden looks like a very nice and polite guy😂

Before the slayer, we could've gotten a cyborg if i'm not wrong. I think the cyborg part is one thing that would ramp up people comparing the Slayer to Master Chief, though that unused military design doesn't fit into that at least. But yeah, it could've been a different character. at least make that a playable guy in an expansion. One thing is the goofy Hayden, another is the creepy robo skeleton one. The last one makes it seem like it'd be part of a plot where he'd be a demon or something. That Olivia looks like her when she was younger. Maybe she had implants to fix her spine or something.

Honestly it would have been nice to see some of these concept art being used as older versions of the characters. Like hayden being in his most recent body. And they should have stuck with Olivia's conceot design. It looks so much better then the final.

Would of been fun if slayer looted a corpse for his armor and had to find his suit as a mission before going to hell

I think that old marine armor they planned would work well for a prologue honestly

Everybody saying iPad Hayden when in reality he looks like a goddamn early hero factory action figure

I can’t the idea of the iPad hayden holding a fucking crucible like in 2016💀

Its so fascinating seeing BTS of developing games and getting to behold what may have been, imagine modders getting these shots and creating the actual prefabs.

The very last one which a lot of folk running away is still in doom 2016. It's a hologram I think and it's the in the later levels either where you get thr bfg or the demonic lab with the mancubas being gutted(my favorit uac leve)

Tan and Purple Hayden was probably scrapped for the Revanent especially Eternal's future skin for the face but you can see the little red core the Revanent usually has on that Hayden model.

That original concept doom marine still looks fooking rad, should have defo being a skin

That Hayden concept looks like the male version of the nurse bot in Star Wars Episode III, that said “ooo baaa” as Padmé was dying during childbirth

2016 should have included these except the Slayer one

OMG lego Samuel Hayden is so freakin funny!

The one alt of Samuel Hayden looks Like the result of if he just made smart phones as opposed to messing around with hell energy

That version of Hayden with the hologramic screen face looks like if Apple made a robot. Smooth surfaces, gentle curves, barely any sharp angles. Imagine if we saw this version holding the Crucible.

Ipad Hayden would have been great for some absolute hilarious scenes, as the super friendly exterior design clashes hard with his stoic cynical personality. As for an in-universe explanation for him being in an Ipad bot: His original robot body might have been damaged and he transfered his conciousness to the closest robot, which happened to be a PR Ipad bot.

Damn the more I hear about 2016's development I still love what we got but it sure seems like it came with a lot of cool ideas that didn't get used. I hope a lot of these awesome designs and ideas get recycled into a new IP as it would suck for them to go to waste.

The old suit could easily be a lingering concept from the scrapped 2007 Doom 4 build which was often referred to as Call of Doom for its military aesthetic.

Olivia's cane looks pretty cool

I’m glad they went with the design they did for Hayden in the final game but part of me really wants the goofy iPad boy lol. I just love him so much! The thought of that thing holding the crucible all menacingly is so funny to me.

Bro im so glad they went with the Preator suit.

The origin of this older suit can be related to the scrapped DOOM reboot which there is a trailer of online. It was more apocalyptic on earth type of fps

Wouldn’t be surprised if we got a red and gold/white version in of sams android body due to him being a maykr

Purple Samuel Haden kinda looks like a tau but not fishy

The animation we see at the end is used in the room right after you get the BFG There would be more characters indeed, but too little info about them, as most of that was seen on the quakecon 2014 event Olivia pierce was really downgraded, that cape and dress was amazing That black helmet marine in the beginning, the helmet itself was never rendered as far as we know, but the suit was used in Doom 4 and had an different helmet much closer to the final version attached to it, so the look of the protagonist was basically that suit with the regular helmet we know now As far as 2015 the praetor suit would have the same colors as that early suit, it wasn't black but dark blue with yellow highlights We have the render of it an the recreation of the full suit

Ipad Hayden looks like he came from the Wall-E movie.

That Olivia Pierce design is really cool. Kind of better than what we got.

The first design we saw for Hayden is straight up just a vex from destiny

Old Hayden looks so cute! 😍😂👍

the hayden design looks like something aperture would design

Not the preater suit but the other ones still kinda chill

Ipad hayden looks so goofy and huggable

Why didnt they just add skins like in eternal?

Samuel hayden used to look like gold experience requiem LMFAOOOO

I really like that armor design. Maybe not for Doomslayer but would have been cool to see some of the solder characters wearing it

I would love to see a doom horror game or horde shooter where you are just a normal marine again. No special super strength or resilience just straight up killing floor 2 typa chaos but with demons

iPad hayden looks like an action figure

I want to see that suit if they bring back Doomguy's cousin Stan Blazkowicz for a third game.

Imagine IPad Haden taking the crucible and monologuing after betraying you

Glad they changed the doom slayer armor during production. Looks more faithful to og doomguy

The eyeless Imp design... my beloved...

First one Looks like the dead space suit

Wow that helmet is in starfield

The original doom slayer outfit looks almost like bondrew from made in abyss.

Imagine an alternate universe where Samuel Hayden both looks like an iPad _and_ speaks like New Vegas' Yes-Man.

I honestly think a game where a human survivor tries to hold off the demons before doom guy arrives would be a cool concept. Could go in a lot of fun directions

“You can’t just turn me into an IPAD, slayer!”

Would've been nice to have some backup fighting demons on earth but no biggie guys, have fun on mars.

Bro why do I have the same name as that damned robot, we’re both Hayden, it’s my first name 😭

I love looking at concept art.

original suit to the praetor has got to be one of the biggest glowups of all time. the praetor is now iconic and i can’t imagine if doom’s protagonist looked indistinguishable from a CoD AW character

I would love for there to be a game with the doom marine image him meeting the doom slayer

Looks like they were going with a more doom 3 design

Looks like the Antixeno armor and the Starborn armor from Starfield hehe

Looks like a heavy helldiver

The first one is Adam Smaher

Its weird that the original doomguy suit looks almost exactly like a Starfield armor set, the navy marine outfit

I feel the current design owes a lot of it’s inspiration from master chief and Sentai heroes

I wouldn’t mind if the original concept for the doom reboot was used as its own IP, and the suit looks sick 2

Doom guy looks like Halo Spartan

Bro look like he’s from titan fall

YOUR TELL ME WE COULD’VE LOOKED LIKE THIS INSTEAD

How about this. In a different AU, where Doom Slayer fought the dark lord in their final battle. Instead of winning, Doom Slayer lost, but not without weakening the Dark Lord. So, humanity, in their desperate state, created an armour that uses Argent energy to power it so it could potentially fight off the lesser and mid tier demons, but not higher demons such as a Baron of Hell. A man who was fit for the job, wore the suit, fight demon, find artifacts to upgrade the suit, but eventually, a Demon of Hell found him and damaged the suit, leading into a run and gun gameplay that ends in the Marine to find a garden in some part of the realm. There, he finds the Slayer, his sword embedded in his armour chest, clearly beaten and dead as he was surrounded by rabbits and bunnies, but all are ghost. When you, the marine, announce that the Slayer is truly dead, where everyone believe he did not, he was task to take his sword, and maybe use it to fight the demons. But, when your character held onto the handle, the Slayer Grabs you, and in a panic, try to move away but it's like moving a mountain as the player's vision turns red as you and the Slayer look at each other. And everything went black. After a few seconds later, the Doom Slayer monologue, telling you that, despite him wounding the Dark Lord, he could not defeat him, for he is his creator or some shit. So, after waiting for 10 years for a worthy Slayer to replace him, he have finally given it to the marine as the marine slowly dawns the Slayer's armour, and before he put on the helmet, he buried the late Slayer next to ghost bunnies and rabbit, telling him that he can finally rest after years of fighting. So the player look at the slayer's helmet and put it on, becoming the New Doom Slayer. And also start playing Doom slayer's mix as he held his double barrel shotgun. That's when the demons appeared, ready to rip and tear the marine. But, what they found was like a ghost from the past, and as your character put two shells into the gun, the demons screams and the beat drops as your character slam the shotgun close. The Only Thing They Fear Is You starts playing. And carnage ensues.

That animation at the end with the crowd is actually used in game I think, it looks like the holograms we see in the area right after you get the BFG

no way yellow Samuel is Yharim from Calamity referense ? ?

It's a pity that cyborg marines can only be seen in multiplayer and in holographic "flashbacks". I mean, those guys invaded Hell, sieged the most guarded part of it, kicked down the doors and then stolen the Slayer sarcophagus. Moreover every single one of them you find dead is surrounded by piles of demon corpses. If not for the killswitch those "petty mortals" probably would have stalled the demonic invasion on their own. And then Eternal completely removes them, making UAC guards cowards:(

The original Doom Marine design looks too TitanFall for me. Im glad we got the Praetor suit we have

9:38 perfectly timed

That npc model test animation is used for the holograms in the bfg level of 2016 I'm pretty sure

The design of the slayer look like a fallout power armor. It would be an amazing crossover between these two games!

Bro almost got megaman look

I don't know *how* they even made concept art of that smooth "friendly" Samuel Hayden. Knowing the character that he is, why did they even bother with such a design? Haha. It could've worked for a random worker bot or maybe even Vega perhaps.

Next, Doom Eternal Season content?… That suit does look kinda badass and menacing

0:19 is based on Samus' Power Suit (Metroid Dread), not gonna lie!

That version of Olivia looks amazing imo

Marine slayer goes hard as fuck

Hayden looking like an 7 years old iPad 💀

I love that suit as well. Id be happy with either.

In the early development of DOOM 2016, ID was influenced by more modern shooters of the time, leading to devs who were displeased with the change and called it Call of DOOM-ty. Lol

Doom guy looked the best in 2016

So glad we got the doom marine that we got in the end

A more grounded Doom? As far as the art style goes that is. Honestly looks pretty cool. Never really played Doom so I can speak for any true fans. I think the Doom that came out was true to the original and true to its fanbase. I’m sure it would’ve been a big risk to change the aesthetic so drastically. Still with all that being said, the concept art looks bad ass. I honestly might have been more open to playing more than a the couple hours I have played. It’s funny the Marine suit looks just like the UC armor in Starfield. Which Mars is a part of the UC. I wonder if it’s just a coincidence or if that original concept art served as any inspiration.

I remember when Doom Eternal and Resident Evil 3 Remake were so hyped when they were just coming out. Ah, the Lockdowns. 😂

I’m really glad there weren’t any human NPCs in 2016. It made the game feel much more like the original Doom where everyone is dead and it’s just you killing demons.
