Anyone else kind of excited for DNF? I have no delusions that it will be the best game ever or anything, but I loved Duke Nukem 3D as a kid and from what I've read Forever captures it's spirit perfectly. It's also weird to think it's been in development over half my life

I just think it's funny that 3D Realms worked on it for 13 years to no avail, and then Gearbox picked it up and finished the game in like, an hour.

For a game that has been in the making for 12 years, it sure does look extremely average.
For something that long in development, I'd expect something ground braking and revolutionary, not just another fps.

Gearbox has a history with 3D Realms, so it makes sense.

>>1389
That video you linked is just about a year old, before the current DNF was even announced. It might not even be footage from Gearbox's build.

I'm looking forward to it, just because it's such a change of pace from the majority of this gen's FPS games. Hopefully there are some extended hands-on videos soon.

>just because it's such a change of pace from the majority of this gen's FPS games

I agree. It looks like it's going to be the "run around exploring and kill shit as much as possible" kind of deal that FPS games used to be before they became all about hand holding through setpieces and trying to get people into multiplayer so they can charge people for maps.

ESRB description is out!

>This is a first-person shooter in which players assume the role of Duke Nukem, an action hero who must save Earth from invading aliens. Players use pistols, rail guns, shotguns, explosives, and Duke's bare hands to attack and kill the alien enemies. The majority of gameplay involves destroying these enemies in frenetic gun and laser battles in order to move on to the next section. Aliens are often decapitated or dismembered when hit, sending large splashes of blood across the ground, surrounding walls, and players' screen. Some sequences depict more 'over-the-top' instances of violence: aliens getting stabbed in the head or impaled; a human soldier bursting into bloody gibs after being tossed through propeller blades. In one sequence, players have the ability to shoot human characters that are trapped in pod-like alien webbing; bodies explode into pieces upon impact. During the course of the game, players enter a strip-club level and view several topless dancers and receive lap dances. A couple of missions within this level require players to recover sex toys and pictures of topless women. A few sequences strongly imply sexual acts: two women appear to perform fellatio on the central character (e.g., raising their heads from his lap)—though there is no actual depiction of the sex act; Duke moans and leans up against the wall of a bathroom stall (furnished with a hole)—it is implied that a sex act (not depicted) occurs. The game also contains several sexual references and innuendo in the dialogue (e.g., 'I have hungry—you have big egg ro' for me, Duke,' 'If you supply the dancing, I'll supply the pole,' and 'I'll need something naughty to play with.'). Duke's comments range from jokes about colon cleansing to several one-liners about sex and female body parts. Bathroom humor includes the ability to urinate in toilets or urinals and/or pick up feces from toilets and throw it against walls. Players can use both steroid pills and beer as power-ups; when beer is consumed, the screen temporarily blurs. The words 'f**k,' 'sh*t,' 'c*ck,' and 'a*shole' appear in dialogue and on-screen text.

In the CTF mode, the "flag" is a woman that will sometimes flip out, so you need to slap her ass to calm her down:

One question, and it's crucial. I'd search but 12 years of development leads to a lot of contradictory info.

Will there be modding, for PC users anyway? The reason Duke Nukem 3D was so damn classic was the Build engine, and the literally tens of thousands of maps, entire expansions and add-ons people put out over the years for the game. It honestly revolutionized FPS gaming at the time.

If you can't even create new maps or stuff on the PC version I won't even pirate it. It will just be some awful 4 hour CoD style campaign and dull multiplayer, probably with DLC.

It wasn't so much in development all these years, but rather in constant limbo since the conception. A few companies picked it up, made a bit of it on various engines, then either lost rights, quit etc so it's been made and remade a few times now, with varying degrees of difference.

The worst part to me was how every door in the stadium was locked. I thought it would be more like DN3D where you could run around and explore and fiddle with shit but the stadium pretty much railroaded you into fighting the monster with almost no distractions except for the poop and the whiteboard. Then again, maybe it's just because it's the demo

Another thing I thought really fucking sucked was the 2 gun limit. Duke 3D was all about picking up cool weapons and just going to town, but in Forever you are have to choose between a rocket launcher or a shrink ray. Thanks again, consoles
>> No. 3260 [Edit]
>>3259

Are you serious? The best thing about Duke and in fact all games like that from the mid 90s was the fact that you had a 1-9 inventory. Hell in Duke 3D you could kick with both legs at the same time, somehow defying gravity.

Yeah, it's easily one of the most damning things in the demo for me. I just want to focus on killing things in fun ways, not "oh should i take this rocket launcher with me the shotgun might be more useful in some situations hmm".

To be fair, we can't really judge the entire game's linear-ness and amount of secrets on the demo, since it's only 2 level sections and like 15 minutes long. However, the two weapon thing (fucking stupid) and graphics complaints (the traintrack in the second section isn't modeled: it's a sprite) are valid.
>> No. 3299 [Edit]
>To be fair, we can't really judge the entire game's linear-ness and amount of secrets on the demo
The first level of a game is supposed to sell you on a game, I think its fair to judge what to expect from a game by playing the first level

But yeah, the graphics are half-assed and the humor makes me feel like I'm watching an episode of Family Guy
>> No. 3300 [Edit]
Why do most modern day games limit the player to 2-3 weapons?

It pisses me off so much having to leave a nice weapon behind just because it's out of ammo, but then finding tons of ammo for it later and not being able to get the weapon back.
>> No. 3301 [Edit]
>>3300
I think it's supposed to be more "tactical". You can't take them all so you have to choose the right mix for the right situation. It's also easier for a controller seeing they dont have number keys for switching weapons quickly.

And console gamers can't count higher than 3

That's not really true if the demo is any indication since they give you the "right" weapons whenever you need them (devastator before the stadium, RPG before the gunship etc). I'm pretty sure it's 100% consoleitis
>> No. 3304 [Edit]
>>3302
Last game I played had ass tons of weapons, and let you carry like 30 of the 40 or so at once.
The game had a menu that would come up as you held a button and freeze the game as you select.

Also, it's not like PC games are much better, I've played many PC games that only let you carry 2-3 at a time.

In L4D's case the weapon limitation actually is tactical, and I've never played the other 2 so I can't really comment on that. The point is DNF is supposed to be a throwback to classic games, yet they still implement shit like health regen and weapon limitations

The problem is, Duke 3D was innovative for its time and among the first FPS games there is. What this game will fail to produce is pretty much that.

Looks like they tried to include some of the "exploration" that Duke 3D had. As in, you could wander through quite a bit of the levels finding stuff, even little rats. I imagine though here in 2011 it's fun for about 5 minutes then just stalls there.

I know there's one level that is just a strip club with minigames in it, but I don't know if there's strippers in it (I'd assume so).

Gearbox made a huuuuge mistake not releasing it everywhere at the same time, because it give the people in NA (where I assume most sales would come from) time to read impressions and forget about buying it. I'm still getting it though because I heard the multiplayer is actually pretty fast paced and true to old duke (even with the health regen and 2 weapons), which is apparently more than I can say for the single player

I don't think anyone was really expecting it to be worth the decade+ wait, but damn, that bad?

Dammit Gearbox. You should of stuck with Borderlands and Half-Life.

I don't think they really went anywhere with that. It's a shame because I still think the Unreal 3 engine is absolutely one of the most gorgeous ones ever. It's especially good for sci-fi titles.

I've played it for about an hour and it's really goddamn boring so far, and some of the textures look really really bad even on max settings. I will play it all though, because I'm no quitter!

Pic not related to anything, it's just duke spying on a guy taking a dump

I mean, is this normal or is something wrong here? It looks like someone made the microwave textures in mspaint

Man this game gets kind of disturbing

I'm at the duke burger part and it's by far the most interesting bit so far. Not enough to redeem the rest of the game, but it's actually kind of neat jumping around on giant hamburgers and fending off bloodthirsty rats.
>> No. 3565 [Edit]
The game's details were leaked two years ago, and aside from cutting the Bombshell character the game is almost completely untouched

Just beat it. It wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be, but it certainly isn't good either. I'd say it's just barely mediocre. Haven't touched the multiplayer yet, probably gonna do that later
>> No. 3569 [Edit]
 
I thought this was funny
>> No. 3583 [Edit]
The multiplayer is actually really fun (when it's not lagging like shit). Favorite thing so far is coming across a little duke and a regular sized duke doing battle and killing the regular one and stomping on the little one.
>> No. 3589 [Edit]
>>3583
After playing around with it some more, multiplayer really does feel like classic duke. Because your lifespan is generally less than 20 seconds, you don't notice the 2 weapon limit or health regen. It's all about running around freezing people and kicking them to pieces, finding a jetpack and flying around raining rockets on everyone, or just sneaking up on a guy and gibbing him with a shotgun. The lag is the only thing hurting it for me.
>> No. 3620 [Edit]
Completely unrelated, but why are reviewers complaining about offensiveness when they just reused most of the jokes from D3D?
Funnily enough d3d offended me when I was 12, but I kept playing anyway. Maybe the cartoon graphics that made it less shocking I guess.
>> No. 3623 [Edit]
>>3620

Reviewers complain just about anything nowadays, including difficulty. They'd rather play Imagine: Party Babiez 2 then something actually challenging.

Also, massacring heaps of people is fine, no matter how brutal the methods are (usually the game will get praised if they are really extreme - MadWorld would be an example for this) but throw in a sex joke and suddenly it's 'offensive'. Absolutely hilarious.

And yet they will give 90 to the next yearly rehash (Madden/Battlefield/you name it) either way. I can't see how someone can still take them seriously.

So hey, there's Duke DLC coming down the pipe. And by "pipe" I mean "lower intestine"

DNF is one of the most reviled games in a long time, and the only reason it sold as well as it did was the novelty factor (it's why I bought it). Very few people are going to want to put any more money towards it.

That looks like it might be funnier than DNF, but since it's still using the base game's fundamentals it will still be awful. Maybe I'll watch an LP of it
>> No. 5607 [Edit]
I started playing DNF the other night. I got it for real cheap on steam awhile back but just now got around to playing it.

So far I don't think it is near as bad everyone says it is. Maybe I am a bit more forgiving since I am older than many here, and went through my fps phase back at the end of the 90's up till 2005 or so.

I like the just run up and shoot anything that moves kind of fps. Taking cover and all that wasn't something you did in the old days. You just shoot them before they can shoot you.

The big thing I don't like so far is that they adopted the whole you can only carry two weapons at once thing. I want access to the whole games arsenal like in the old days.

Duke Nukem 3d is such a classic. I saw a thread awhile back where someone wanted to play old games online. That one would be fun.
>> No. 5608 [Edit]
>>5607
There's an option patched in that lets you use up to 4 weapons at a time. Also, you run for cover a lot later in the game. In fact that's probably one of my main criticisms, that instead of running around blowing things away you are forced to run and hide while your health ticks back up.
