I think I have all the qualifications of a 3D Realms employee. I can sit on my ass, do nothing, and eat copious amounts of food while posting on forums.

Wow, I honestly thought this game would never be released. I cannot wait!

Yeah, MurdarMachene is a game designer for Capcom Japan. He was the person who successfully campaigned to have Pee-Wee Herman included as a playable character in Half-Life.

Even if duke nukem 4/forever actually gets released, I highly doubt that too many people will be interested. Comedy and shooting only work well together for so long.

Plus, Gamers all want ultra-realism and complex physics, with intricate story lines and good voice acting. They want something that is going to set the game apart from others of the genre, like Portal will with mind-fuck physics, and Bioshock will with a mash of extremely detailed environments and innovative combat elements.

I can't see anything coming from the Duke Nukem Franchise (or 3d realms,for that matter) that will even offer a portion of what other games are,and will be offering.

Just a bunch of stupid 1 liners tossed in with seen-it-all-before shooting action.

it's sort of like Serious Sam. first game? awesome. halarious,fun,action packed.
Serious sam 2? overhyped bullshit game with nothing to offer. no fun, no funny. Just a bunched of re-hashed FPS material, slapped together bringing basically nothing to the franchise that the first game didn't cover, all in a vien attempt to make money off those who loved the first game and were expecting so much more.

The Duke nukem series has already done this with such horrible pieces of shit like "duke nukem : a time to kill" and "land of the babes". Both for the ps1, both are horrible attempts to cash in on Duke nukem 3d fame. Barely anything was new in that game,no new enemies, no new guns, no new 1 liners, I'm pretty sure a lot of it was re-used voice acting. Buggy as hell, frustrating, slapped together, not fun.
Furthermore, the Manhatten project was the PC equivilent to these peices of trash.

I would just let duke nukem die now with a little bit of glory.
"it's time to kick ass and chew bubble gum, but i'm all out of FUN"

I disagree. I enjoyed playing games such as Duke 3D and No One Lives Forever 1&2, way more than I enjoyed Doom 1&2 and Quake 1&2.

BB, if you watched the 2001 E3 trailer of DNF on the unreal tournament engine, you'd see that it offers a ton of high-energy gameplay with great weapons and depth of play. I expect nothing less than a damn fun action game, with plenty of badass stuff to do in satisfying ways. The one-liners are pretty much just a bonus on top of all the badass gameplay.

It has Duke doing a slide on a harley underneath a truck, shooting some guy's head off with a shotgun while riding a donkey, killing bad guys with a desert eagle while on a high speed mine cart chase, using shields, blowing things into meat chunks with pipe bombs and tripmines, and a bunch of other fun stuff. Even with bad physics and graphics, the gameplay would still be more fun than any shooter that's come out in the last 5 years on the PC or any console.

I don't think any of those shitty games you mentioned were developed by the people that brought us Duke3d, so they have literally no bearing on the quality of DNF.

Portal is a piece of shit on the Half Life 2 engine, which is already dated and ugly, not to mention has worthless netcode and hit detection problems out the ass, even in single player. Fuck Portal and anything Valve touches, Half Life 2 was the biggest waste of time and the most plotless, overhyped piece of shit I've played in years.

enough said.

Yeah, enough said. Because it really could have magically gotten WORSE since then, not have more shit added, better graphics, more features, and better gameplay. Enough said indeed.

Dude, Valve is Valvetarded now.

With all this time, Duke Nukem Forever BETTER be the Street Fighter 2 of FPS. Just so good, nobody will EVER want to play a different FPS.

Posted: Jun 03 2007 05:47 pm

Street Fighter Zero 2 Alpha.
