I'll buy it... but I'm not sitting here waiting for it... Duke3D was one of the most "fun" games out.
Those photos are from the 2001 E3 video if I'm not mistaken...
Damn... You mean to tell me that they havent improved the graphics since then?? Or they're just using those as place holders for now...

Placeholders. They don't represent the current state of the game ... which is why they were removed from 3drealms official homepage. :)Quote:

As many times as they have had to rebuild "Duke," they could have released three games already. DNF is the stuff of urban legend. Is it the most delayed game of all time? It still might be cool when it comes out, but I think the confidence level on it being good is at an all time low.
They have had plenty of time to improve upon the gameplay, workout the bugs, etc :)Quote:

I still believe :D... I believe it's DUKE NUKEM: FORNEVER. It will hit the shelves when we (the 1st duke generation) has passed away, and the company will laugh on our graves and call us suckers for believing it could come out in our lifetime. What a bunch of a$$holes those execs are...
Thoses execs can't laugh at us since they will be dead too.
I thought about this before I posted... we (the sharky members) spend most of our precious time and money on our computers. The execs spend most of their time doing work. I predict that they will have enough money to buy artificial (bionic) limbs and organs to keep them living until 2200 AD. This is all while the average sharky member (let's say 20 years of age for our purposes) will have died by 2100 AD. So there you have it, they will dance and party on our graves.Quote:

This would be true if they keep to one game engine. Last I heard, DNF was using the Unreal engine (as in Unreal 1). Now this may or may not cause them problems as there have been several new games released that use a greatly modified half-life engine. Of course all those games have been criticized as having dated graphics.Quote:

They could easily upgrade from the original Unreal engine to the Unreal Warfare engine.Quote:

I think they should just give up already, personally. It would be a miracle if it even broke even on income.
How big is the dev team?
Apparantly not big enough to get a game out in a decent amount of time.:p
I can't say I'm up on all the technical issues of doing so, but beyond symply moving the data over, to avoid dated looking graphics, they would have to rework their maps and models to a higher polygon count, and most likely would have to rework textures to be higher quality. Plus, all the custom code would have to be ported to the Unreal Warfare engine. If they are in fact still working on it, I would guess that is what is taking them so long.Quote:
