This is a sub-page of Proto:Doom 3 (PC, Xbox)/E3 2002 Alpha.

To do:
''

  • Add gifs of theses animations
  • Find ways to get proper showcase
  • Add player, weapons and cinematics.

Here is a list of every animation found and/or referenced within the files of the E3 2002 prototype that are not present into the final release, duplicates of those animations where purposely left of as they bear no differences to their final game's counterpart outside of the format

Note: Due to the E3 2002 demo of Doom 3 using early prototyped format of the MD5Mesh and MD5Anime format (Internally referred to as version 6) Attempting to load them onto the retail version crashes the game, as such, it currently not possible to view theses animations in an animation program yet and can only be documented video clips or by file names alone.

Player#

Note: All of these animations were used specifically for the pistol, switching weapons in the prototype would still showcase the player holding a pistol in third person. The exceptions to this are only during certain cutscenes.)

  • death1.md5anim (Player used death animations rather than ragdolls on death.)
  • pain1.md5anim
  • hard_land.md5anim
  • idle.md5anim
  • idle_down.md5anim
  • crouch_idle.md5anim
  • idle_up.md5anim
  • jump.md5anim
  • pistol_fire1.md5anim (Completely different from the animation of the same name in the finished game. Here the Player holds his pistol with both hands while firing. It was eventually scrapped for unknown reasons.)
  • pistol_walk1.md5anim
  • pistol_walk1_strafe_left.md5anim (The retail build of the game makes no useage of strafing animations at all. They where eventually scrapped for unknown reasons. As seen in the names of the files each weapon would have likely had theirs very own third person strafing animations.)
  • pistol_walk1_strafe_right.md5anim
  • run.md5anim ((Completely different from the animation of the same name in the finished game. It is unique for the pistol, suggesting that weapon specific third person animations for movements where once considered before being scrapped.)
  • turns.md5anim
  • walk_backwards.md5anim
