The real HOLY SH*T topic

[Jelly]

HOLY SH*T, Gearbox (super awesome pro game dev company) has secretly been developing DUKE NUKEM FOREVER.

 

[Dridmar]

HOLY SH*T, Dridje (person who does some mapping for the mod) reformatted his computer and forgot to backup his MAP FILES.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

I kind of lost respect for Gearbox when they copy + pasted the Opposing Force ending into Borderlands...
LOL SPOILERS

No more motivation to play Borderlands anymore, THANKS JM
Naw, just kidding. I made it halfway though the game and got bored.

 

[Jelly]

Endings are overrated anyway.

But seriously though, I think this game will kick ass, and I'm glad to see that it will actually ship in my life time. :roll:

Yeah, I freaked when I saw the article about DNF on Yahoo. That was really the last place I expected to find something like that. My dad and I have been waiting for this game since I was 5 and he first finished DN3D and let me play it. (content-lock on of course )

Gods I'm old... I was watching my friend's teenage kids back when DN3D was out, and let them play on my 486DX, and it didn't even occur to me to turn on the content lock. :\

Did I mention I woulda let this patch out maybe two months ago if we had one more high end populated map ready? Jeeze... Hate releasing a patch that's been on hold over three months with just one new map.

Got any maps that just need entity work?

 

[Thothie]

Like I said in the dev threads there's RUN... I think there's some others, but I keep forgetting to go look. There's also the option of taking a bunch of Joe's maps and welding them together into something usable.

 

[Echo717]

you know dridje, you did have people look at deraliasewers and twomulak, I know I have twomulak, tell me over steam when you want it, and I think you've had other people look at deraliasewers

 

[CrazyMonkeyDude]

Only problem with that is I doubt he handed out the source when he was testing the maps.

 

[Echo717]

rmf = source?

 

[HumanSteak]

Quick nightmare maps anyone?

Let me finished ecave loololololool ><

 

[Tentadrilus]

Keep gurluas out of this topic at all costs.

Lololol.

Hell no, that means patch delayed by who knows how long untill you finish your map.

Quick nightmare maps anyone?

I support this though.

 

[FER]

Lets see...

What are the chances that DN Forever stay like a classic (real man's) FPS and not a "70$ first person experience" with no health pickups, no secrets/secret rooms, regenerating health for the little ladies (you know you are if you ever try to defend it), cinematic context sensitive cutscenes, being able to carry 3 weapons and no assload of enemies trying to gun the F|_|CK out of your ass?

 

[jon50559]

Everything FER said for truth. I was worried about the same thing, and how people I know keep saying "oh I wish they would just hurry up with it now!"

NO DON'T HURRY UP WITH IT! We've waited for it this long they should spend their damn time on it. [/rant]

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

I predict that Duke Nukem Forever will be worthless.

 

[Shadeska]

I predict that Duke Nukem Forever will be PRICELESS.

FIXED.

 

[J-M v2.5.5]

You should stop messing up when you quote other people...

 

[HumanSteak]

I personally doupt the devs would manage to make DNF old school enough to please most people who waited for it.

 

[FER]

By oldschool I mean with normal gameplay elements.
Lately it seems most FPSs are developed forgetting its a goddamn game:

Nerd:"ohhh but a real human cant carry 10 weapons, carrying 2 weapons makes more sense"

Is it so much that FPSs go back to the fast paced frantic action it used to be?

I buy goddamn games to play goddamn games, not an attemtp of a movie.

 

[HumanSteak]

Too much truth to quote

That's exactly why I lost faith in the gaming industry years ago.
Games nowadays aren't meant to be fun, they're meant to be as good looking as possible. The graphics and realism are much more important than content and playability...

 

[Thothie]

IIRC Serious Sam took a stab at resurrecting the old skool FPS style game. Then failed miserably by cutsie'ing the hell out of everything. I suppose they got the "masses-o-enemy" thing that most modern games lack due to being too pretty, but then they laid them out in such a way that it just turned into a shooting gallery.

There's this weird conflict going on between the Casual Gamer mentality, and the Combat Simulation mentality - and somehow you nearly always wind up with the worst of both worlds.

Quick nightmare maps anyone?

Usually at least require fresh textures for those. Granted, I still have Dridge's version of Hera's laying around... I figure if we're going Lava with nm_Sfor, went frostie with nm_Thornlands, can always go slime-acid-hell with nm_Heras... Just toss up NS infestation everywhere, and some slime pits.
