Breaking: Duke Nukem dev 3D Realms closes it's doors!


Recommended Posts

I never played the original Duke Nukem 3D, so I wasn't really interested. But still it is amazing they lasted this long. I haven't seen a game the with 3D Realms logo in years. Was it present in Prey? I don't remember.

Duke 3D was amazing for it's time. I still occasionally play it for the nostalgia factor.

 

Speaking of Prey, when I saw those screenshots above I thought they were from Prey 2.

Hm, so Brian Lawson, the guy who implemented HDRR into NWN2, which for some reason wasn't available in the game and still isn't, must look for a new job, too.

This is from Scott Miller (of 3DR), about what does and doesn't make for a good game name. One is that you shouldn't give your game a name that can be criticised. Of course these are only guidelines, not rules. Duke Nukem Forever would totally be an awesome name if the game wasn't the biggest joke in the gaming industry. Edited by Hell Kitty

Doesn't look so revolutionary at all, as George Broussard always promised us.

 

 

Some pretty cool stuff in there mind, but without playing it, and knowing that, how can you say it isn't?

I came up with Crate 3.0 technology. 

Crate 4.0 - we shall just have to wait and see.

That would have been fun, I think.

I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!"

Looked more fun than most FPS I've seen previewed for a long time actually. These kind of FPS should just capitalise on high adrenaline high speed rampages with cool but simple things you can do and a lot of style.

 

Also looked like, true to a forever-developed game, there were a lot more detailed animations and 'unique' touches (like the big garage door coming down on a monster and the monster getting flattened, and the door shutters also being ruined).

Twelve years and all they could come up with was the giant alien in the stadium fight? That was in the N64 version already.

 

But in all seriousness, I don't see how this could be any good if it were to be picked up and finished/scraped/restarted.

For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem."

Man, all this stuff coming out now, but when the game was still in development all they could manage was a few tiny, lame teasers?

 

Yeah, well after 12 years I'd like to think they were sitting on a ton of stuff. The alternative would be...bad.

I bet some dev will pick it up and finish it.
