Only difference is, duke nukem was nowhere near as good as starcraft. Duke3d was fun but only thing that was special was the ripping off of lines.

Thats kind of a null argument there. Seeing as how Duke 3D was a vast improvement over the First Person Shooters that were huge at the time (Doom, Doom2, and to a lesser extent Heretic and Hexen) it was Phenomonal. Not for the one liners but the Scale at which the Levels were presented and the violent action contained within. It was really the first time any gamer played in such interactive enviroments. And the game still Holds up today (along with Shadow Warrior, that i got along with duke for 15 dollars) which is something that cannot be said for other First person Shooters that were released in the Post-Doom era (operation Body count, Star Wars: Dark Forces and other generic "Doom Clones").

Duke Nukem 3D is a Classic, and not just for the one liners, but that it was and is a really fucking fun game to play.

Few things, bucko :O

1. stop Capitalizing Things that Don't Need To be.
2. Stop writing as if you're working for gamespot.
3. It was nothing special.

I'm not AMAZED by kicking open a shitter and seeing an alien on the toilet or being able to blow up fire hydrants. There wasn't really anything new that stood out too much. Like I said, it was fun, but don't fucking act like it was the be all, end all game of the fucking 90s.

Edit: That star wars fps game was a doom clone? The one that came out around the same time as duke nukem? Are you really that dumb? You get a lightsaber, you get force powers, and you're in a star wars universe. For a nerd you don't exactly have your shit together. That game was awesome and better than duke nukem.

think he was referring to dark forces rather than Jedi knight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_forces which did not have force powers and sabre action

never got to play the original, but Jedi knight was pretty cool.

anyways, duke3d had some cool modding tools, I must have spent ages making random levels and silly mods for it (only one of note was a freddy Kruger Glove which replaced the foot and gave you energy when you killed enemies with it)

Prey was in development since '97 and it looked nothing like it does now. They had to start over about three times.

Zomboid · #5

PS remembering that star wars game and how much I enjoyed it when it came out makes me wanna re-download it

Fathom Zero · #6

Jedi Knight was the best, though.

I remember when Jedi Outcast came out and I was blown the fuck away.

3D Realms has posted a new screenshot for on-going saga Duke Nukem Forever.
It shows a huge boar-man brandishing some impressively yellow tusks, and proves to us all that the project is still very much alive.

What's wrong with this statement?

Also, the link to the list of things that happened between now and when DNF was first announced is funny.

The one-liners in 3D were shit

Haha, nice list. I honestly don't believe this game is ever going to be released, and I'm already so well past caring that I won't be buying it until I hear from MULTIPLE sources I trust that it kicks an insane amount of ass.

Dr. V · #14

This and SC:Ghost are never comming out. But I'm the only one on earth holding out hope for the latter.

Girl Drink Drunk · #15

I cant wait to hear what hilarious references he'll make about movies and current events.

Jeff The Ninja · #16

I just hope its finished within this decade.

Perndog · #17

I just pretend every time it resurfaces that it's just been announced. I mean, what I've read of the development history basically says it's been started from the ground up about a half dozen times. The game that is eventually released (and since they haven't given up yet I think they're determined to see it through) probably won't spend any more time in actual development than your average high-profile game (what, two or three years?). The decade of false starts seems like just a source of amusement and may not have any bearing on the final product.

Although they've moved engines a few times, I suspect they have a good few years of game mechanics, level designs and all the other transferable elements complete.
