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 dunno. I can see Vampire Weekend being English Beat-y there wasn't anything remotely ska like in there. There was a clear african sound to it. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
Ranking Roger African? It's hard to overstate my satisfaction.
Check your FSI! |

I have to agree with jjohnson here. The song he heard on Letterman, at least, A-Punk, seemed more English Beat to me than Talk Talk. Talk Talk's classic sound put the synths much more forward than the Vampire Weekend song, which is all about the jangly guitar and drum beat. English Beat isn't a perfect match either, but it seems closer to me. "Bioshock, sadly, is no Painkiller." - BobJustBob
|
|
well, then you too can be gloriously wrong. I know the beat, dammit, that ain't it. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."
|
|
Well, I don't know any English Beat songs, but I liked what I heard from Vampire Weekend. |

You don't know any English Beat songs? Your 80s card is revoked. Game Developers: Don't forget the zombie monkeys.

I'd be surprised if he hadn't heard Mirror In The Bathroom. It's actually kind of annoying because I've been trying to get a hold of a really good new track they've recorded, but it doesn't seem to have been released yet and the fact there's two different incarnations of the band now doesn't help searching this stuff down.

Bullshit- it's like your diploma. Once you earn it, they can never take it away from you. |
|
oh no, you can not only lose it, you can get your ass kicked over it. "Testiculos habet et bene pendentes" - "He has testicles, and they dangle nicely."

You can probably get your ass kicked today BECAUSE you have one. Not me, though. 1980s4lyf. |

A song from 1986 popped almost complete into my head yesterday. Quite the odd experience, one second I was installing XNA; the next humming along the music with three quarters of the lyrics pretty much intact. Some sort of misfired neuron I guess. "[WoW] have set up a system that allows me to rent my friends on a monthly basis.."
|
|
(to clarify: the song's from 1986, I probably listened to it last at around '89-91 or whatever) "[WoW] have set up a system that allows me to rent my friends on a monthly basis.."

Thinking "[WoW] have set up a system that allows me to rent my friends on a monthly basis.."

oh, vienna ! |

#1541 by LPMiller I gotta say, I don't think they sound much like the Beat at all. I should have made it clear that I meant the version of A-Punk they played on Letterman sounds like English Beat. There's much less ska sound to the actual album. Sorry for the confusion. |

Best ad linked was the low rider one. But none of those are the best ad ever... "Thug means never having to say you're sorry." - UTurn

Remember this one and the others in that series? They took 'em off the air quickly over here, guess TV stations received too many complaints. "I just wanted Monster. I paid for Monster, not Speech." - Matthew Gallant

That was stupid. Witnesses in the house heard Jones say "why did you pee on me Pooh Bear?" A few moments later, the witness heard the son say "Mama you done stabbed me."
|

Well, the ending text is not the original one. The original one shows a can of some energy drink plus some slogan, but I couldn't find it. "I just wanted Monster. I paid for Monster, not Speech." - Matthew Gallant
|
|
And it's the first "scare video" I remember seeing, so it has its merits. "I just wanted Monster. I paid for Monster, not Speech." - Matthew Gallant

assemblerer, the w3schools.com link you posted has been very helpful so far. Thanks again! "I just wanted Monster. I paid for Monster, not Speech." - Matthew Gallant

KABOOM! A bunch of stores were destroyed from an explosion in Downtown Vancouver Wednesday morning. I only just found out about it. |

I hope nobody's weed got burnt up! |

I picked up Warhammer 40k: Soulstorm the other day and I have to say that I'm really disappointed. Note that I've never played Dawn of War multiplayer, but I've gone through and enjoyed the previous single player campaigns several times and have enjoyed them all. Soulstorm is really one step forward and three steps back from Dark Crusade. Good stuff: the new new races are colorful and fun. It keeps the turn based campaign system that I really enjoyed from Dark Crusade and has made it bigger, spreading it out over several planets. Bad Stuff: The load times are really long and not just for the missions, it takes like a minute to get to the campaign screen. Overall, I would estimate that all load screens are about 3-4 times longer than Dark Crusade. The Campaign map is small and hard to read. The only new units that every race gets are air units and, so far, the air units are worthless. Soulstorm barely even tries to present a story. Dark Crusade didn't have the much in the way of plot but it was frickin' Moby Dick compared to Soulstorm. My biggest pet peeve is not saving bases from captured territories like you could in Dark Crusade. If you defend a territory, you have to build your base all over again and with my favorite race, Imperial Guard, being so weak in the start game, that's a big hit. Does it make the game tougher? Sure but it also makes it alot more tedious as defending each territory can take 3 times as long as it could in Dark Crusade. I'm a Dawn of War junky and, mostly, I'm happy that I'm getting more of the same but still, paying $40 for an expansion of a 4 year old game, I was expecting alot better.

I was all set to buy Soulstorm until I read the thread over at qt3. They all described pretty much exactly your experience with the game. The 2 new factions and air units aren't worth the $40 and the lack of Relic really shows on the lack of polish in the game. So I just stuck with Dark Crusade and stuck it on my laptop (hooray for no cd checks!). |
|
I retried Emperor: The battle for Dune and Red Alert 2 today, after a long time. I still suck at RTS games. I never seem to find a balance between offense and defense, and somehow the AI always manages to crush my rushes with far less units than I send. Apart from that, I really enjoy the cheesyness of Westwood cinematics. The production values of Westwood games sure were impressive. The president's red phone with the huge MOSCOW sticker on it is fucking awesome. I had forgotten about that gimmick that was so omnipresent in 80s cold war movies. And that office and uniform from the Russian president... hilarious! "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

Did you get to see Tanya, sweet sweet Tanya? "It's a mystery! You love those! Where are you going?" - Hugin

Oh yes, she's hot! "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."
|

She has large eyebrows. "Action stars of two decades ago shot .44 bullets out of their cocks. Honestly, if me and Charles Bronson were in the same room I'd kill myself just to make sure he didn't hurt me."

So I just stuck with Dark Crusade and stuck it on my laptop (hooray for no cd checks!). Oh yeah, that's another reason why it's not as Dark Crusade. It's got CD Check "when a man knows he is to be hanged in a fortnight, it concentrates his mind wonderfully." Samuel Johnson

Actual footage of DNF? And Jason Hall, a blast from the past indeed. |
|
Sarek sure has let himself go. |
|
Soval, not Sarek. |
|
DNF huh? Hm! I'll give it a try when the demo lands. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
I meant to imbue that post with a restrained but overall positive vibe. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
So it looks like they're going back to the well on a bunch of the weapons, and it doesn't look much different from every other shooter. Meh. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

If it provides solid fun I'm there. I am expecting a high level of polish and large quantities of various environments and enemies though, they can't get away with too much uninspired rehashing. After twelve years the game needs to exude creativity in abundance, surprise you with excessive details and do it all without breaking a sweat. I did just recall that video they leaked a little while back, and if they're honestly going to portray Duke just as he was back in '96 then we have a big problem. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|

Let me go ahead and just spoil that for you: We have a big problem, and I'm all out of gum. Lady, people aren't chocolates. But you know what they are, mostly? Bastards. Bastard-coated bastards with bastard filling.

>_< "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
Yes, I went there. Asian smiley attack! "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
Maybe you have - actually, a "big problem" would be trying to portray Duke as anything but the way he was back then - Duke Nukem is not a franchise which I could see a thorough re-imaging of the core concept/character helping. Or, you know, what Jibble said. #10 - Why not both come out of a window?
|
|
Well yeah, but I'll still call that a problem with the franchise. We are talking opinions here after all, and of a totally unreleased game at that, so the facts-to-opinion ratio will by necessity be rather low. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
You're an idiot. Does Nintendo need to modernise Mario, too? |
|
When he sucks, yeah, of course. It's not a magic bullet, they could reinvent him badly as well, just look at Sonic. But then Samus was reinvented in a cool way, so it swings both ways. I'm saying I won't stand for a Duke as one-dimensional as the one from '96 though, if they make Serious Sam I'm outta here. "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
|
|
As far as personal opinions go that's as valid (and by valid I mean wrong) as any, but I doubt you were ever the target audience to begin with. #10 - Why not both come out of a window?
|
|
Indeed, but I am of course the most important audience ;) "You can produce nuclear reactions directly through ultra high electric field initiated photodisintegration."
