"If your game was so late that it was the biggest joke of the industry, would you waste time asking opinions on a message board or just finish the thing? "
If you want really detailed levels, textures, etc, you're going to have the rest of your people (animators) sitting on their thumbs because great levels filled with non-repeatable detail take FOREVER. So this does not indicate where they are in development.
"BG&E already did that"
Not even close.
Well,Duke as a franchise has suffered a nasty case of sequel-itis IMO,and most if not all of these sequels are unlikely to be very well remembered, and maybe even those that are total fans of the series would rather forget these unremarkable, almost instantly forgettable "sequels" ever existed. I've played his first two games (2d side scrollers).
I like duke 3d, but Duke Nukem Forever continues to languish even now, in development hell, and i think i remember reading that the reason was that the team behind Forever want it to be the very best, play the very best, look absolutely stunning. Does that mean that things on the project keep stalling because the developers aspirations cannot be sufficiently realised on todays hardware?
Is it better to wait, X number of years,for technology to catch up,or should game developers aspirations fall somewhat so that games such as this can actually be released within a certain time period?
I highly doubt DNF will look better than Half Life 2.Quote:

I'm with Joust on this, actually. Scripted scenes, smaller ones, aren't exactly impossible to insert into a finished level, and Duke 3D is one of my favorite FPSes.
Yeah, it has a chance of sucking, but I just can't see this as another Daikatana.
The Megon physics executable was fun to play with. Hopefully they'll have alot of beer bottles to throw at hookers and whatnot
Hey, it was one of my favorite FPS's too, but no way am I getting my hopes up.Quote:

Duke Nukem 3D wasnt even that good. Well... 1/3rd of it was good. The levels in the shareware. The rest were rubbish.
This game is entering its 8th year of development. Seriously, why do people still care? This is just dumb, especially when AAAAAA games like HL2, H2, and GTA:SA are coming out with regularity.
I thought Lunatic Fringe was a great level (like being on a giant turn-table).Quote:

Duke Nukem Forever still nowhere near finished
How long will we be -
Waiting, for your Duke-Nukem For-Ever
To take away all the hatred
That darkens the light in your eye
Still awaiting. I. \m/
