Duke Nukem Forever 2001 build is out in the wild. Talk about it

schizo

Diablo 3

You're a fucking idiot

>make a soulless remaster and if it does well then start making soulless sequels

because that worked so well for crash bandicoot

Then it better result in THQNordic forcing FAGdy to release the 2002 version

It is sad to see how a game alone can destroy a company.
But it's not as if they don't deserve it, either. Someone with common sense would simply license the best engine of the time and make a decent shooter with good level design and inspiration from the source material. I think someone was with a very megalomaniacal vision during development...

Earthbound 64

so we got DNF
what is next?

Whats the list of console commands so far?

>could have unironically been the best game ever made
>fat cunt wastes years doing cocaine and playing everquest to just release the fucking thing
I'm not even angry, just sad.

Half yes, half no, in all honesty, maybe it's just to gauge interest in the 2002-03 build which was at least, more finished then this build and could be cobbled together in a palatable fashion, because if they lead with the 02-03 build, expectations would be soured and interest would die out faster, I mean they gave tools already for this that would translate well to other builds

Gearbox is the worst place Duke could have gone, it was better off being a "what if" for all eternity.

I wanna play it but today i moved in with my gf(male).

Goddamnit.

what's the best way to set the game up? sounds like there's more to do now than just dumping the megapatch and d3d8 wrapper into the system folder

that user gave you incomplete answer
in my experience, the error went away after installing DirectInput and DirectInput8 through winetricks
game started but input was fucked
after doing as says, the input was fine

Sure it was the game itself that killed 3DR, not Georgie Brussels creaming himself and axing DNF every time he saw another game doing something new.

will the modders finish the game?

Yes and one of the Ion Fury devs even said its doable. Dont listen to jackasses likeThey are bygone for a very good reason

Sly 2 Monaco build. As far as I'm aware that level only barely got started and is probably on a disc somewhere deep in storage.

Why? You can make a better Duke Nukem today using even things like GZDoom...

except that I did dll override through the Runner Options in Lutris rather than winecfg. But it should work the same regardless of which way you do it

Each time I try to toggle out of fullscreen it goes black and I can't re-open it back up
and if I add the d3d8Wrapper stuff it opens pic related when I run dukeforever.exe
help?

there's something particularly soulful about that era of 3D graphics

got a question for everyone
what is supposed to be the main gameplay hook for Duke Nukem Forever? or at least, what do you guys think it should have been

everything I'm seeing in the leaks makes it look like the developers were just fucking about with realizing random pieces of TECHNOLOGY with no coherent vision for the end product (that's just how programmers are, they're like cats, if you don't keep them on rails or leave them to their own devices for too long, they'll retreat in their own pocket dimension to create something interesting but not exactly essential for the game) while relying on contemporary FPS trends set by Half-Life 1 for the base gameplay while putting no particularly interesting spin on it
I think if a game like this got actually polished and released in 2002, people nowadays would be more likely to remember it as more of a tech demo than an interesting shooter

I hope you fucking faggots are enjoying your shitty, unfinished bugfest of a game. The later builds with actual content in them are still lost to time, and are probably never going to see the light of day. But hey, if empty levels and glitched out game mechanics are the type of thing that appeal to you, then who am I to stop you?

Kill yourselves.

Attached: 6ba.jpg (318x318, 18.02K)

The screen shake effect that happens each time you get hit combined with these crabs that get on your face non stop is bad game design, the crabs are very small and they're hard to spot and kill, so you get a million crabs constantly getting on your face while the screen shakes again and again

There's a part where you get into a sewage area near the strip club, it's pitch black so you can't see shit, you need the night vision goggles and move quickly because its power runs out fast but then you get a shit ton of these crabs attacking you, very tedious

Stop using windows.

>How would you do duke?

in 2011 They tried too hard to make fun OF him and the "outdated attitude" rather than have fun WITH it. He was Zapp Brannigan with plot armor instead of basically any of the Arnold films he was an analog to. Then they tried to call attention to that like it was some kind of character development.

This, they have plans for it, the franchise I mean. I wouldn't trust their plans though.

Why u mad?

Hey Randy! How’s the borderlands movie coming along?

It's why movies with miniatures and animatronics don't age like cgi shit fests do, it's because you can see the artists input directly translated upon their work because they have to try 40x hard to express the intention because of the limit toolset and technology, so they get clever and use tricks

It wouldn't be "right"
This would feel like a somewhat legitimate DN.
Long story short: Autism

Fuck off Randy

shelly and duke would be awesome desu

I keep spamming Phil Spencer and other Xbox people that they should reevaluate Prey 2 on Twitter. It seemed like it was about 90% done and I think it would do amazingly well since the work is basically done and all Microsoft would have to do is release it.

>haha you got half of what you wanted
Yes.

Man, GenX devs were leagues ahead of the s o y addled devs that are making games, today.

compatibility mode is for office software, doesn't restore the multimedia features like DX

The game never got out of the concept phase, there is nothing to discuss about that.
In my opinion they basically needed to transfer to modern 3D engines the same feeling of the game made in Build, i.e., put the player in realistic environments like dirty LA streets, bars, strip clubs, etc., where there is a kind of basic interaction with the environment. All carried by a fast gameplay with some unconventional weapons.

you might be surprised but graphics and presentation was still a major sales drive even before the 7th gen era and beyond
Brilliant games like Blood were snobbed just because they weren't full 3D

Why does the founder of 3D realms speak of DNF like he was so alienated from it?

>but this idea was shot down internally. It turned out to be a fatal suicide shot.
Lmao, my father used to have a website around 2009 or so that looked out of 2002 and was still pulling around 10K unique visitors daily, he never put ads in it, he blamed the market (never put even google ads), created a paypal account for donations but it was basically invisible on the home page, when a web developer friend of mine offered to convert it all to Wordpress for free he refused because he thought that giving him the keys was giving too much power, same reason why he never hired anyone, meanwhile wasted tens of thousand of our money on a business that never went anywhere because he did not even try to hire a decent lawyer to have the signed contracts honored.

DNF 2002
Whatever was done with DNF 1998

>what is supposed to be the main gameplay hook for Duke Nukem Forever?
I want the biggest interactivity ever, if you see it you can interact with it in some way and i don't mean just lazy physic props, I mean stuff like pool tables and stuff like that, shit to fuck around with in between shooting. This would please my ADHD brain and differenciate it from different FPS games.

>It seemed like it was about 90% done
Any dev who claims a cancelled game was 90% done is completely full of shit. They do this all the time and it's never true. Obsidian said the same shit about the Alien RPG and it was only when Avellone left that he revealed that was a lie and it wasn't even a third of the way done. Publishers don't cancel things that are 90% complete. If the game is really bad it gets cancelled well before then and if it's decent at 90% complete you may as well release. You're not going to write off millions of dollars of investment into a project that almost done and you're proud of.

What did they mean by this?

If anything, it would have been fine being a tech demo if it was an absurd story with funny writing and jokes. Basically, DN4 should have been a more advanced Postal 2.

God it's fucking surreal to see this.

that's just a skybox you idiot

The best kind of graphics in the most general term for me is when the artist is aware of the limit of the tech and tries its best to convey the message/idea. A lot of games seems to have an idea of a model which started from something better until they are scaled to a level where the game runs and it end up looking like a parody of the original.

Graphics and presentation have been a thing since the atari 2600. Only soillenials and zoomers who grew up with 7th gen's complete and utter stagnation and got the rug pulled out from under them when gen 8 kickstarted progress again thing pushes for visuals and presentation are new.

For the last time how i can play with patches and no slowdown

>user, never be like this or work with people like these.
Very true. Some people are just too stubborn for their own good and will never leave that bubble for a little bit to do something potentially risky that ends up hurting them more than anything. I assume it's still the market's fault to this day according to your dad?

Better face tech/design than anything I've seen in the last twelve years

On which level is the pinball machine?

What DNF 01 seemed to ended up becoming based on this build, was Postal combined with Half Life.

>Now, Tom Henderson has come forward with more bad news regarding a hypothetical Star Wars Battlefront III on his Twitter page. Yesterday, he revealed that DICE pitched an idea for this game to EA, but the publisher ultimately shot it down due to licensing costs.
Sounds like it was 0% complete if it didn't even get past the pitching stage.

Anyone know how to trigger the battle at the stripclub?

ok stupid

I thought it was coming out in June? Link?

Wrong Battlefront III.

Is anyone else having trouble loading saved games? Also some of the levels are so fucking dark i can barely see anything

Okay, since you a retard, verbally I'll explain it to you.
When Sctott said that "DNF killed 3D realms", he did not mean that a game literally did it.
What he did mean, something he himself had elaborated on in that post is "The DNF project or more specifically, lack of manpower, budget and planning on the part of team leader led to severe financial trouble and subsequent acquisition of 3d realms."
How are you unable to grasp a simple turn of phrase is beyond me.

It looks scary

sonic '06.

So putting teen porn in the files was a marketing move?

Amazing that it still looks jawdropping, never felt that way looking at a landscape in any other game.

Every idiot says that every unreleased game was 99.99% complete before they pulled the plug. That was not the case. Battlefront 3 had some things done tech-wise, but everything else still needed finishing.

that's the thing, it is the era where there is enough polygons and texture res to actually be detailed, earlier games tended too much toward the "painted cardboard" look. and after that came the awful "brown and bloom" age.

but here there's still enough processing power for some effects and lighting done sparingly, still relying mainly on the art itself, but not restricting it too much with polycounts and blurry textures either.

it all comes together in a particular way

millennials and zoomers are all into muh throwback indie retro/low poly shit though

Sonic '06 is the beta though.

There's a pretty solid story laid out in the zones:
Starts in Vegas
Heads to Hoover Dam
Into Canyion
To Air Force Base
Into Area 51
Up to the mother ship to kill all the aliens.

There's a good twist about how EDF is trying to stop Duke, but they seem to be controlled by the Aliens.

Look at the archive threads dumbass, tons of posts about how to make it run since it got leaked

Saves only work sometimes, most of the time it just crashes, not that big of a deal since the levels are short anyway. Use the "allammo" cheat in the console to get all guns which also gives you the nightvision.

Toy Show Sonic 1

Honestly not bad for the time. Half-Life 2 was still what, 3 years away?

>i do hope gearbox can resurrect duke nukem at some point
holy fuck please don't. just let it be dead and forgotten randy

what a weird thing to get pissed off about lol

>Steve Ellis would also claim that the game was almost finished: "We had a 99% finished game that just needed bug fixing for release." This statement in particular is what pushed the ex-LucasArts employee to reach out to GameSpot in the first place, calling it "bullshit"
Just another example of a lying dev.

You have to understand, devs often claim they'll get done in weeks what in reality always winds up taking them months so their estimates are always very, very optimistic even when they aren't knowingly lying.

Wrong BF3 and you're referencing a fucking twitter account. End yourself.
>soul meme
It's just from a time when games were made with PC as the primary platform, instead of gimping things to work on consoles. It's why the original Rainbow Six was a hardcore tactical shooter, while the N64 version was a simplified but semi-faithful copy and the PS1 version was a completely different game. That was very common at the time. It was also before the 7th generation of consoles taught all the millenials and zoomers to hate progress and hardware upgrades, so developers tried pushing boundaries without worry of refunds or bad reviews from a funko pop collector seething because his midrange 3 generation old setup struggled with new features.

Yeah, and many games to this day fail at replicating HL2 in that regard
For 2001 it was pretty amazing

just set dwTemp to 0

For all the problems it had, even the DNF that we got in 2011 did this really well. It felt like they put more time into making sure you could poke power outlets and use the warm and cold water switches on the water coolers than they did basically anything else.

>2001 game looks better than 2011 one
