Hell Hath Frozen Over... Could it be true? A Duke Nukem Forever teaser from 3DRealms?
December 19th 2007, 16:15 MSK by OmegaFoRCe Long long ago, in a Crap far, far away, there were Crappers making fun of 3DRealms and their seemingly unending development cycle of Duke Nukem Forever. Could the legends of a real video game actually be true? And behold - the word of legend: http://forums.3drealms.com/vb/showthread.php?t=29639 Last Saturday we had our annual company Christmas party. It was a lot of fun as usual but it featured one special surprise. It turns out that several people had been secretly working late nights and into the wee hours of the morning preparing a special video for those at the party. They created a short teaser for Duke Nukem Forever.
After seeing the teaser we thought it was something we should share with all of you and while it's just a teaser, rest assured more is coming. Tomorrow, Wednesday the 19th, around noon CST, we will release the first teaser trailer from Duke Nukem Forever. To tide you over until then, here is a screen shot taken from the teaser. Thank you for being fans of the game and for your continued patience. I'd like to thank the people on the team that worked so hard to create this teaser and the friends of 3DR that helped create it (Jeremy Soule and Julian Soule, Frank Bry, Jason Evigan and of course, Jon St. John). |

I was expecting them to do a blow the doors off the barn thing, where weeks later people are still stammering around going "I still can't believe it was just that awesome", but this felt more like a firecracker and less like some napalm. I'm not sure that's possible anymore, even if they come up with something that really is genuinely barn door explosive then it still won't get a fair shake. At this point the DNF saga is entirely separate from any game that might once have been involved, the story is the story and nobody cares about the game. If I was Scott or George what I'd do is a) pull the plug, b) write a tell-all bestseller and c) make games. Of more interest however, if you're at Gearbox, is Borderlands. I can't forgive them for Blue Shift, the Halo port or for giving Foodbunny cancer, but damn if that game doesn't look mighty fine. At least, it does in my head.

Blue Shift was just fine. Especially the last part with the half-concealed proto-teleporterish thingie. Old, decrepit technology being used in lieu of contemporary science always wins. Actually, that is what had saved T3 of all things for me. #10 - Why not both come out of a window?
|
|
You know what, FUCK Blueshift. $30 for an eight hour game? I was so pissed, and still am, and I want to know who's responsible. |
|
You know what, LOVE Blue Shift. $0 for an eight hour Half-Life game with not-overdose-of-Xen? I was so pleased, and still am, and I want to know who made that classic scenarios where marines fought aliens and you got to watch and throw moles and grenades on them. |

#141 by Dingle You know what, FUCK Blueshift. $30 for an eight hour game? I was so pissed, and still am, and I want to know who's responsible. Heh. That's nothing, mate. Both BlackSite and Soldier of Fortune: Payback retail at twice that price and are about half as long. And they're shit. Dum - What I've seen of Borderlands looks good enough that I want to know more. The weapon generation system was pretty staggering, the driving looked a blast and you only need to say "open world action RPG" to me and I'm already salivating. It was a Randy "Most Enthusiastic Man on Earth" Pitchford demonstration I witnessed, however. Seems like a lovely guy, but I always get the feeling that the show of supposedly ad libbed fratboy whooping is actually expertly crafted. It trips some kind of paranoia switch in me that makes me wonder just how accurate a picture of the game you get from his presentations, particularly since it's hard not to be buoyed along by his cheeriness. I don't know if there are videos of him double-teaming with Brothers in Arms military advisor, Col John Antal, but it's worth a google. The pair of them are mad as a bag of knees. In one viewing of Brothers I was at, there was a minor glitch - a rocket clipped through an enemy without exploding. Some journalist in the front row made the mistake of smirking. You don't smirk at Col Antal! Antal's loomed above him, barking, "You ever fired a rocket launcher, son? No? Well, I have - and sometimes you miss!" - words and stuff -

The NSA 0wnz popular firewalls and 'secure' email services CRYPTOME reports that the US National Security Agency (NSA) has remote administrative access to several of the most popular Windows PC firewalls, and that it has also taken control of a number of supposedly "secure " email services within the past few months. It writes that the personal computer firewall software products from MacAfee, Symantec and Zone Alarm all "...facilitate Microsoft's NSA-controlled remote admin access via IP/TCP ports 1024 through 1030... without security flag."

You missed the joke. |

Mm, Blueshift. I recall a couple of events that must've taken ages to get working just using Worldcraft. An Alien fps huh? Or Aliens fps? Hmm…, google does not provide the clearest of answers. Need more info. If my damn timemachine was working! "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
Needs info? The game is titled Aliens, that should be enough info. Couldn't look more forward to it. "I've always viewed masturbation as a pretty positive thing."
- Warren Marshall |
|
And yet it's been called Alien fps elsewh… oh fuck it, nevermind, you're right it does sound cool. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."

My question about the DNF trailer was "why release that at all?" I think their best course of action is simply to stay completely silent until they have gone gold. "Why would I wanna read the book? All I'm saying is, I see a game every day. I watch baseball every day. I have a better understanding about why things happen than the computer, because the computer only tells you what you put in it. I could make that computer say what I wanted it to say, if I put the right things in there. ... The computer is only as good as what you put in it. How do you think we got Enron?"

#151 by McBain My question about the DNF trailer was "why release that at all?" I think their best course of action is simply to stay completely silent until they have gone gold. I love how George backtracked a bit under the moniker 'managing expectations'. As if he couldn't have known that this teaser would be judged as if representing the final product anyway. "I've always viewed masturbation as a pretty positive thing."
- Warren Marshall |
|
Backpedaled, rather. "I've always viewed masturbation as a pretty positive thing."
- Warren Marshall |

No, wait a minute...you're not serious about SoF Payback, are you? Do you know how long I've been waiting for the next installment? If you're serious, please say so, because that was my next 360 purchase...I will NOT fork out cash for a game like that! I was extremely pissed at Gears of War, because I beat the damn game in under ten hours. It's a pathetic, drowning POS team of developers who'll fucking release ANY game that's under ten hours...I don't give a SHIT about the gameplay, that's a slap in the face to customers and a mockery of the respect they have for themselves. I was two inches away from buying Payback yesterday... |
|
Okay, I just did some research on that damn game. How in the hell could they have dropped the ball for this one? Sheesh, the youtube flicks looked damn fun, but no way in hell am I going to support this shit. FUCK. Oh well, I've heard good things about Overlord, Guitar Hero 3, and Blue Dragon...but I'll research their asses off first. |
|
#154 by Dingle fucking release ANY game that's under ten hours We've seen this argument ever since... games got under ten hours? Which was like, in year... hmmm... ever since Crap existed? |
|
I lose interest in most games after less then an hour anyway, so it's not a big deal for me. GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY
|
|
Dingle, it wasnt done by Gearbox, its the ultimate in shovelware. |
|
Yeah what Ds says, word on the 'street' is it's shit. I like games under ten hours too. But when they start dropping below something like 6 hours (and assuming they're linear/nonreplayable) I start wantin' the price to be lowered. Full retail price is still quite a bunch of monies, and there's a limit to what they can put in before we'll start complaining. Portal-length games could be 25-30 bucks and I'd be pretty happy about that. But thank fuck we're at least partially out of the must-have-25-hours-gameplay doctrine, what a boring load of ass some games turned into because they felt they couldn't cut all the bullshit. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
Desert Bus is longer than 10 hours. |
|
Complaining about the length of a game is a specious argument. It's a lazy way to say that a game wasn't fun enough or had too much filler or didn't fully exploit its premise or whatever. Say what you mean dammit! "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
A game needs to be always fun. That's a constant. So the full statement goes something like: For sixty bucks I expect seven or more hours of fun. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
All fun is not created equal. Uncharted is a fun game. Crackdown is a fun game. But Crackdown is much more fun than Uncharted. The amount of fun in a game is not solely based on quantity. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Yeah, I doubt anyone will disagree with that conclusion. With that in mind I still expect x hours of fun for y amount of money. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
You're part of the problem. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
You're off the case, McGonigle! "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
Complaining about the length of a game is a specious argument. It's a lazy way to say that a game wasn't fun enough or had too much filler or didn't fully exploit its premise or whatever. Say what you mean dammit! Well no, a game can be fun and just be over too soon. Gun was like that. |
|
I'd rather play 10/10 fun game that lasts for an hour than only slightly entertaining 10 hour game. But still, for $20+ I'd expect more than one hour of gameplay, even if it was pure platinum fun. But of course, with platinum-grade fun you can usually enjoy replay. Portal was fun even for the 2nd time, even when it had the same linear story. OMG, STORY, BOB, STORY! |
|
Portal was slow enough the first time through. The second time it was torture. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Holy shit, Crackdown is $15 today at Amazon. Buy buy buy! "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
You're right on that, it was slow for an FPS, and maybe even for puzzle game at moments (walking, waiting for platforms, etc). It wasn't slow for adventure/logic game. Don't forget that Portal was more of an experiment than real FPS/puzzle/adventure/whatever game. I wouldn't say it was GOTY. Which reminds me of the list topic. |
|
That's why I don't get that the Qt3 groupthink is sucking some hefty Portal cock. I mean, it's an interesting experiment with a great game added to it (because without the final level, it would've been really boring). But GOTY? It's just not big and ambitious enough for that. "I've always viewed masturbation as a pretty positive thing."
- Warren Marshall |
|
It's a GOTY candidate because, even though it is very short and ramps up too slowly, it doesn't have any filler or annoying parts. It doesn't outreach its grasp. I feel sorry for anyone who can't appreciate that. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
It had annoying parts. Almost every part that had going up on moving valves in it. |
|
And of course the short comment is just referring to the main story. Like Peggle, the extra content increases the length of the game several times over. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Orange Box is GOTY, Portal alone? Hm. I don't really think so… though I do agree with Bob, so I'm not exactly Mr. Opposite. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
Orange Box is not a game. |
|
It's a box. |^^^^^^^^^^^^ |||__
| こんにちは | ||'|"\,__. |_..._...______===|=||_|__|...,] (@)'(@)"""*|(@)*(@)*****(@) |
|
Orange Box is not a GOTY candidate, but Portal is. All that other shitty shit in the box drags down the whole. "I don't like story in games." - Soren Johnson
|
|
Orange Box is one game for the 360. And orange Box, for normal people Bob, represents the best singleplayer actiongame since… ever, the best multiplayer experience in years, and to top it off contains a fantastic and unique puzzle-solving gem of a game. It's GOTY material (again, for normal people) because it so massively over-delivers on several genres simultaneously. But still, Portal was the best part of PC Orange Box for me too. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
Gaggle is the new Bob. 1. Orange Box is a box with 5 games, not a freaking game. Come on, you can tell the difference, can't you? 2. It may be purchase of a year, if you like its components. 3. HL2 is NOT best nothing ever. 4. Not now, not last year, not ever. |
|
+2x "the" |
|
96 metascore means it's considered a fantastic game by normal people. Again I stress the normal part because I don't really give two shits that Bob (or yours) GOTY lists fails to include it. It's not my favorite either, but the raised issue was about the QT3 groupthink and I'm stating what most would consider the normal opinion on this product. And again, Orange Box is considered a game. Of course it's a collection, but it's considered a game in the sense that "dude, you should go buy Orange Box". If you really can't accept me calling it a game do a mental search-and-replace word substitution and move on. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
Wahey that came out harsh. Merry Christmas assemblerer and bob! :) "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
|
|
When you buy Orange Box, is there one single serial number for all the games or is there a separate serial for every game? I ask this because I already have retail HL2 and EP1 and if there were separate serials I could sell them to someone else. GET IN THE VAN I GOT CANDY
|
|
Steam detects that you already have HL2 and Ep1 installed and wraps them up as giftcards so you can send them off to whomever. So basically yes, you can do exactly what you propose. I've given away my HL2, though that ungrateful bastard just don't likes the action shootyshooty. "I'm not even angry / I'm being so sincere right now."
