DUKE NUKEM FOREVER

[Odo]

I'm with Topcatyo, but I'm still excited. I mean, many people claim to hate the whole 1 button grenade/melee, regenerating health, two weapon limit, and linearity of modern shooters, but we still play them and have fun anyway. Douk won't disappoint.

When I played it, it had all of that in it.
But I still liked every moment of it.

we all know what hes gonna say and hes gonna be right okay

[NintendrCkolc]

Linear or not, I want this. I don't care if it plays like Halo. At least it'll be familiar.

I'm more interested in the campaign, nostalgia, jokes, and babes. Why else would I be playing Duke Nukem?

so if its like every other shooter today, what makes it a Duke game besides the obvious?

You're a big macho guy who shoots things, smokes cigars, throws out witty (in his mind) one liners and loves the ladies. This is basically the only thing that all 3 current Duke games have in common. Contrary to popular belief D3D isn't the only title in the series, and it was basically a Doom clone with it's own little features.

So with that in mind let's look at the similarities between D3D and DNF:

- D3D was made to resemble the most popular FPS at the time (DOOM) / DNF was made to resemble the most popular FPS at the time (CoD/Halo)
- D3D and DNF were both made using the most popular licensed engines at the time

So really, what besides the obvious made D3D a Duke game?

You actually make a pretty good point.

It's still disappointing they weren't a little more innovative, though. At least from what we can tell so far they weren't very innovative.

Well, it is a shame but I still agree with Nintendo on that point. You're playing Douk for the fun of playing Douk.

New inteview with Randy Pitchford.

Highlight on the subject of interactivity:

Forever goes a lot further with that. Another thing is interactivity.  You're able to use and manipulate your environment, and not because you  have to, but because you're curious. And when something happens, you're  like "Oh, that makes sense. I didn't expect that!" Which is surprising,  fun and rewarding.

Another thing is secrets; testing the  environment or using the tools of the game to see if you can almost  break it and find something cool. I like this kind of relationship  between gamer and designer.

Whenever they say shit like that about a shooter all it really means is that there will be stuff you will shoot that blows up.

We have had that since the toxic barrels in Doom. Why are they STILL trying to tell us it's new and exciting?
