    Nerds loved Snakes on a Plane.. it was a crap movie, but they flocked to it, same if they made some Chuck Norris movie they'd all go.. well if by go we mean pirate it from the net, then yeah that

    PC games the same. Duke has such nerd nostalgia value. It was groundbreaking at the time and there was nothing like it, however some people believe that because of that.. the sequel has to be somehow.. groundbreaking? eh no

    In fact the sequel should be a stupid over-the-top snakes on a plane type thing, ridiculous, kick ass, nostalgic.. and the fans will love it.. in fact I predict this will actually be quite a fun decent game

    Its been delayed for so long simply because stupid people have been in charge trying to make some ultra groundbreaking thing.. however, eventually, when the new guys took over they knew exactly how to handle it.. if you don't agree.. go watch the gameplay trailer..


    It will be a big success and not a terrible game either

    I'd imagine this will be prone to an amazing amount of backlash when it's released. The internet will be aflame with cries of "Tweve years for this sh1t!" and other cliche rants. But personally, I'm really looking forward to it.
    From what I read in that review, the player basically says it's not a modern day CoD clone like every other game, but it's great braindead craic. If he's right, then it is exactly what I want it to be.

    Funny because many of the games produced today with a rabid fanboy following make me go meh. CoD, Halo, et al are pretty underwhelming affairs that offer very little that is new or exciting. I remember playing Duke and being very excited by the sheer scale and irreverent attitude it had (as opposed to its contemporary and technical superior Quake).
    While many of todays games may be lightyears ahead of Duke in term of technical abilities they have not managed to retain even 1% of the charm this game had back in the day. I want to play this game because it will hopefully still have the same spark, that sense of fun and off colour humour that made Duke a classic.
    I dont know about CoD but I know at least with Halo the interest in the game universe is tied into the game interests. I remember reading The Fall of Reach and getting really pulled into the story. Contact Harvest was probably the best of them though, followed by Onyx.

    But you're right. FPS games right now are a bit up their own. I remember watching a Jimquisition with some great points <googles> Ah yeah, here it is.


    I totally agree with this guy (well... To an extent anyways).

    With BulletStorm and Duke on the way, I can't help but think of Turok: Evolution. A game that I thought was simply fantastic. Yeah, it had it's flaws, quite a few of them, but good sh1te was it fun! Packing four shotgun shells into a single blast, a rocket laucher with a nuke attachment, poison arrows that make your enimies puke up and die, a nail gun (if my memory serves me correctly) with a chaingun hidden inside, and some of the biggest damn gun turrets I've ever had the great fortune to man.
    Plot? Story? There was none. Just mindless craic.

    Is it legit? Somehow i still want to give a chance to this. So many wmepic memories... Secret levers to open some dirty stuff... Secret passages... Exploring....

    " i am here to kick ass and chew bubble gum, and i am all out of bubble gum..."

    Its not his original saying, but damn it sounds good when he says it :)

    Reminds me of this:


    (the film is called They Live, well worth a watch, Roddy Piper finds a pair of special sunglasses & discovers aliens invaded who are controlling earth by mind control, then Roddy opens a can of whopass on them, great fun)



    I'm looking forward to duke, probably for the novelty, hope they do a good job with it

    I suppose thats fair enough, you are interested in the extended universe and story beyond that depicted in the actual games, however as someone who isn't I always thought the Halo game experience was pretty shallow and well, boring.

    That's not to say that they are terrible games or anything its just that they always struck me as competent run of the mill shooters with very little to distinguish them from the rest of the pack. Perhaps DNF will fall into the same category and it will turn out to be an underwhelming experience as most of the todays shooters are, I sincerely hope not because i have very fond memories of the Duke and want to hopefully recapture just a small bit of the excitement I had while playing the first one.

    Yep that's where Duke got the line from.


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,732 ✭✭✭Magill


    You know what..... Fvck DNF.... Fvck Halo and CoD...


    what we really need is..... half life 3 ! Get a move on valve... They better give us some news this year on it tbh...


  • Registered Users Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    I don't want a game-changer, graphics that will melt my machine, deep and interesting storyline, or a game that can be completed in 4 hours...........I want mindless action, awful one-liners and Duke!

    I just hope this game isn't a bitch to run on PC and has (supposedly) a quite long campaign. Heh, I remember Duke3D would crash if you ever went near the water in levels, goddamn DOS.

    interview.


    so far i love it. i think they will nail it.


    and it actually reminded me.... shrink gun..... remember shrinking my friend in 1v1 Psone, then trying to step on him! Not even one game, ever did such a cool weapon :D

    oh yeat, they mentioned something about glory hole! :D

    It looks great, there's a fair bit in there for $100, think I might have to pick it up. Good game or not, that's a piece of gaming history right there :)

    I want a good long SP experience, one of my main gripes with modern games is that many of them are just to damn short. I don't play online, never really saw the attraction to be honest and in recent years I have felt cheated by developers who tack on a shoddy SP campaign and think that is good enough.

    As much as I enjoyed the hell outta deathmatchs on Duke 3D, I still spent most of my years jamming on the simgle player. So, I'm looking for more of the same there.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,699 ✭✭✭deathrider


    I'd sell the wife and kids for this... If I had a wife and kids.
