Unfortunately, it seems that the death of 3D Realms was the best way for us to get our hands on the largest collection of Duke Nukem Forever screens we've ever seen, and now, footage of the game in action. Found on ex-3D Realms employee Bryan Brewer's personal website (found after the break due to its NSFW-ness), we're treated to the ubiquitous pig cops (now with the ability to jump and climb, apparently) as well as a variety of Duke vulgarities you likely won't want your mother to hear.
If anything, the footage proves that a ton of different gameplay was actually finished and -- we're not gonna lie here -- looks pretty decent. We didn't spot any jetpack totin' reptilian enemies unfortunately, but we can only presume the folks at 3D Realms were waiting until the last possible minute to show off such nostalgia laden insanity. Wait, isn't right now the last possible minute?
Unreal Engine was dropped 6 years ago and they decided to create their own engine, which, in my IMO, by what showed this video, its waaaaay better than the UE, on par with the Crytek one.
As for the monster, this are rehashed HD version of the original DN3D ones, so the thing is, locust one looks more like the original DN monsters, so it would be more like Locust can be of the gang of this guys, as this appeared first
Looks pretty fun, good ole Duke. One tip for the defunct 3D Realms, this should have been DNF 2 or 3. I'm no crazy businessman or anything, but it seems like having money coming in for production costs is always a good thing. Would it have killed em to actually spend another 6 months to finish up and actually RELEASE the game they've been working so hard on before scrapping everything and jumping to a new engine? My money's on no.
Sorry, but that's pretty pathetic for 13 years of development. Still looks like it had a real long ways to go. Whoever was the manager for this project should be fired and never work on a game ever again.
Wow, that actually looks pretty damn good. I hope someone picks up the rights to the IP and the existing tech.
Anyone who's saying: "this is what we get for 13 years of development? lololol" are complete and utter morons. No, this isn't 13 years of work. More like a year or two at best. The work they did do over the 13 years almost guaranteed got scrapped during however many development cycles it went through.
I realize It's hard to accept but if you read the forum and Joe Siegler's (admittedly sparse and vague) comments it is 180 degrees from Anticrawl's analysis. The future of DNF is uncertain and all the developers involved are laid off/fired.
What's more important right now is that we need to show that there IS a market still for the king. Buy the Trilogy, make a fuss about DNF, ANYTHING. Even if it doesn't get us Duke Nukem Forever It will at least help to show devs/publishers that there is market for the future of the franchise.
It actually looks pretty good; I hope Take Two gives another developer the assets, has them replace Duke with a good character, and releases it really quickly. I really want to play the game in that video.
Man, that good ol' Duke and his awesome cheesy dialogues, you can't beat that ! I am impressed that game play is still reminiscent of the original Duke Nukem 3D goodness..
Btw, if you want this game to come out, or just wanna support it pls do sign this petition over here !
Sega picked up the publishing rights for those games. Take Two still has the publishing rights for Duke Nukem Forever, but they now need someone to perhaps re-hired the 3D Realms developing staff. Don't make the same mistake Anticrawl did and make a complete idiot of himself. Duke Nukem Trilogy is being developed by Apogee and published by 3D Realms. Duke Forever is developed by 3D Realsm themselves and published by Take Two, so no 3D Realms means no Duke Nukem Forever.
See, thats your problem. You are stick that a gamer = nerd/virgin. Maybe it was something more accurate in the 80's/mid 90's, but now, its almost uncommon. The only people that enter on that category is MMO players. General videogamer had graduated from that already, so dude, live up to the times.
And really, from all that awesomes this flick showed you only care for 2 secs of a naked girl showing somw boobs???
Dude, we need to take you to a stripper club, like fast!!!!!
dude this game looks FREAKING SWEET...just wrap it up and release it tomorrow....i don't care if it's full of bugs and only 3 hours long...it still looks badass...i really want to play it!!!
