Daeval Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Meh, it's 3DRs right to protect their IPs. Furthermore, Duke, as much as I love him, is about the most generic character ever. Short of blatantly copying the art, it would be rather easy to whip up another wisecracking tough guy who kills aliens.
Gryph Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 Yeah, Duke is a shallow caricature of big muscle action heroes with a touch of John Wayne. Hell, there's another musclehead, Sam from Serious Sam. The mod team could have easily made another character like that.
Ryuken Posted January 26, 2005 Posted January 26, 2005 never did i liked duke, he's just like Sam so i don't like both of them
montpics Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Whatever...... It would take years to see the game resurfaced.
Gryph Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Yes, this game will take it's own sweet time to come out. Now how many companies do you know can work on a game for as long as they want and not have to succumb to publisher pressures? Any game development firm would love to have the same power as 3DRealms. Hell, just yesterday team leader George Broussard said they have no idea when they'll be done in efforts to dispel rumors of DNF showing up at E3.
montpics Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Effort? I think the laziness would be the right word for them.
Wizard Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Effort? I think the laziness would be the right word for them.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Let's see, they've gone thru 3 engines, redeveloping, retooling, recreating the content for said engines. I don't think thats laziness there sir.

They scrapped the entire came in late 2002 and started all over again so it's been less than 3 years since that and most games take 3-5 years.
Skythe Posted January 29, 2005 Posted January 29, 2005 Duke is too badass. You'd think he's down then out of nowhere he frontkicks your teeth in and makes an awesome wiseass comment about how good your mother was last night.
Weirdy Posted January 29, 2005 Author Posted January 29, 2005 didn't 3d Realms barely buy the physics a couple months ago?
