Wikipedia page for the non-Doom character:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hsien-Ko

Kyonshi (OpenArena) and Hsien-Ko (Darkstalkers) are Jiang Shi or
Chinese vampires.  There's an entire genre of horror monsters that
look like that.

I don't see a closer similarity in the characters to Darkstalkers
and Doom than a generic vampire and space marine.

PS - Given this is a copyright violation report, I'd assumed that
the clip on YouTube would be an official trailer, but it doesn't
look to be so.
