Title: Duke Nukem Forever. No, seriously.
Post by: Villain on September 05, 2010, 12:26:29 AM
So Gearbox picked up DNF and actually had something to show at PAX. Nothing special, and for some reason the final boss from D3D is back, but it's more than 3DRealms were able to show.

Discuss.

I'll get ready for another 10 year wait.

Hopefully the DTB (direct to brain) technology should be good go by the time this game is released in 2020! :D

counting out Manhattan Project, Duke was a good solid title especially 3D :D and priceless lines like ' your face, your ass ... what's the difference' or 'I'll rip of your head and s**t down your neck' were sooo funny back then  :funny but yeah it's quite unlikely Forever will ever be finished ...

Bullshit!! :0
Anyone above the age of 20 knows who the Duke is!!! and you're plenty old enough to have played the first 2 nukem games! (hell, I've played them both)

You seriously had no idea who Duke nukem was?!?

How's about

"I ain't afraid of no quake!"
"Hmmm..That's one doomed SPACE MARINE!"
"Nobody steals our chicks...and lives"

and many many more priceless and well timed one liners!

I remember playing the old 2D sidescrollers as a kid...and of course, I LOVE 3D.

I was of the impression that Duke Nukem Forever was one of those games that was just a myth. Like StarCraft: Ghost.

while we're on The Duke, can anyone tell me what version "total meltdown" for PSX is?

Maul: it's been "vaporwear" for years.  the original company collapsed at some point.

Goes along with Nero... I've been hearing about this since 2002.

I was of the impression that Duke Nukem Forever was one of those games that was just a myth. Like StarCraft: Ghost.

The hell? SC: Ghost was no myth... it was canceled before any significant progress could be made however. XD one of the Blizzcon debuts for Starcraft 2(last year) had (using the SC2 Map creator) a modded map showing a Third person shooter where you control a ghost lol they were hinting at SC: Ghost as a laugh.

Ah It sure takes me back....

Let's hope Gearbox does as good as job on DNF as they did on Borderlands, all I can say Is It better have loot LOL

And did anyone notice that DNF Is also an acronym for "Did not finish"........... Irony lol

 Duke Nukem! My first fps game at age 5. Yes, age 5. A little young to be playing that, but my parents were lenient in that area. Anyways, I still remember every level from Hollywood Holocaust to the Duke It Out in DC addon, and even the Atomic Duke addon. No memory is as good as the big boss on that football field with me pumping rockets into it's chest. The more memorable classic fps than Dooms 1 and II, Duke Nukem got me started with fps.

Now to put some quotes down here. And excuse the bad language for those youngans here, but as a long time Duke fan, I gotta  :funny

"Blow it out your ass!"
"Your an inspiration for birth control!"
"Die son of a bitch!"
"Hm! hm! hm!!... Wasted!"
"What are you some bottom feeding, scum sucking algae eater?"
"Cooool!"
"Your face. Your ass. What's the difference?"
"Groovy."
"I'll rip your head off and shit down your neck!"
"Somebody's gonna freakin pay for screwin up my vacation."
"Damn, those alien bastards are gonna pay for shooting up my ride!"
"Damn, that's the second time those alien bastards shot up my ride!"

Heres my favorite ^_^
"Nobody steals our chicks... and lives!"

Did I go too far here? lol. But hey, they need to make a Duke Nukem movie. And if they do, I hope they don't church it up like they did the crappy Doom movie.

They would have to take a time machine back to the 80s to make a movie with the required cheesiness.
Title: Re: Duke Nukem Forever. No, seriously.

Sylvester Stallone would volunteer for the role..  :funny
Title: Re: Duke Nukem Forever. No, seriously.
Post by: Bones on September 07, 2010, 03:52:41 PM
How about Dolph Lundgren ? he was awesome in The Expandebles (nice movie btw. )... he was funny and that voice :) he would make an awesome Duke ;)
but then... most of game based movies are crap ... just look at Max Payne, Turok, Silent Hill... not to mention Uwe Boll's Far Cry :facepalm:
Title: Re: Duke Nukem Forever. No, seriously.

there's a turok-movie? :eek
Title: Re: Duke Nukem Forever. No, seriously.
Post by: Kirk on September 07, 2010, 04:31:20 PM
Max Payne wasn't bad. Then again I've never played that game.

Well actually compared to the first and second game it was bad ;) you should play both, great story and awesome gameplay.

I thought there was Turok movie, right ? I even heard it really really bad :lostit: CORRECTION : just checked, there was Turok : Son of Stone in 2008 and it WAS baaad :P

You know what.. I wish that there would be one more Dino Crisis. It was one of the better survival series that required slightly more intelligence than Resident Evils..
Title: Re: Duke Nukem Forever. No, seriously.

Totally, because moving through a hallway and shooting a dinosaur is any different to moving through a hallway and shooting a zombie. :roll

or mobsters (Max Payne :D ) ... it's been said movies based upon games are usually just a waste of time simply because characters are messed up as well as story differs to original... but we're drifting away from topic :) I just watched some gameplay but it was just a cam so no details, just some nice anims ( Duke falling each time he's hit reminds me of Brothers in Arms Hells Highway :P I'm looking forward to that writing on the walls feature, looked cool to me ;)

you know how long it took me to even find a COPY of Dino Crisis? and I can't play the dang thing 'cause I haven't got mem card space for it (i'm stuffed full of Gran Turismo 2)

btw...i CALLED this back a month ago
quote from myself
hate to tell ya, villian, the nostalga cycle is getting close to those kinds of games PRETTY fast.  don't be surprised if nostalgia gaming finally kicks the current owners of ol vaporwear-breath duke nukem into finally getting the thing DONE

Maul: it's been "vaporwear" for years.  the original company collapsed at some point.

it's a port of 3D for the psx. t'was the first game I ever bought with my own money!

I meant which version of the Expansion pack.  there's a fourth set of scenes to play through that you have to find (i still have a gameshark, so i can survive the first couple FEET).  there's several versions of the "plutonium pack" that extended the original.  I'm trying to find out which one.

the 4th ep in that game was unique to the psx as far as I can remember.. Plug and pray it was called.
So am I the only person to have finished it without cheating?? Although the wipeout-esque track was a dammned nightmare at first!
Title: Re: Duke Nukem Forever. No, seriously.
Post by: King Class Scout on September 11, 2010, 12:44:04 PM
the racing track?  that was the easy one for me.  it's the hidden bits in the first piece of that sequence i have a time with.

note that, to me, some old ATARI games are nintendo hard (as I'm from the 1st gen era of gaming, where no thinking and a lot of button mashing are required).  besides, even with cheats, I haven't actually completed it.

I always ended up being run over when you were forced to go onto the track itself. Never saw the buggers coming, never saw the buggers going!!

That level was only ever in the PSX version as far as I know.
That's the one I've always played :P
