Duke Nukem Forever shot

Too Human. If I recall properly it started out as a PS1 game.

Ah yes, but you know, games that start out and finish on hardware a few generations later, usually have assloads of polish. Silicon Knights has been around since the days of the Atari ST, and they've not released alot. What they have though, have been epic proportion successes though.

 

Legacy of Kain: Blood Omen (If you don't think this game is awesome, go crawl in a hole and die)

Eternal Darkness (I believe this actually started on the N64. As far as I'm concerned, makes SH+RE games look like preschool. Play this $hit alone in the dark at 2am, and tell me you don't at least get spooked. Beyond Metroid Prime, this was the reason I bought a Cube.)

MGS Twin Snakes (Ok so not an original IP, but they did one hell of a job)

 

I've played Steel Empires on my ST, long ago, but I never was into those kinds of games. Can't say I remember it being bad though, just not my kind of game.

 

I forsee Too Human being one badass trilogy.

THat looks very Doom 3/U3 shiny factor. Looks retarded. But hey, it's DNF.

Dissing the Duke is similar to publically announcing you got herpes in the face.

Using the Unreal 3 engine would be a very smart move. Especially since then they at least have an engine (didn't they redo the engine themselves more times than anyone wants to count?) and maybe we could get a game sooner. The graphics in that shot don't look that great but its probably really unpolished material.

 

Can't wait for this game though, better not flop or the internet is going to go flocking insane.

 

IJTF, You liked Eternal Darkness? I always thought that game was kind of a joke. It was "The M game" on the gamecube for a long ass time - probably the only one. Definitely not as creepy as SH :/ Your right about Silicon Knights though.

The game doesn't use UE 3.0. I don't understand why everyone has a hard-on for that engine. It's not that great.

 

And as an ingame model that is very good. Most other models we see for games have characters with clothes and huge armor on them so it is easy to hide a lot of details we fill in when we see a real human such as with this Duke picture.

[Reaper man]

wow, they actually delivered, holy sh­it...

 

I guess that means we'll be seeing a lot more media from them huh?

[Inky]

well this isn't the first DNF trailer ever released.........

[Reaper man]

well it IS the first trailer released in like, 6 years... hopefully they won't change engines again, and I doubt they will.

[L.S.D]

Well, the graphic look ok and look next gen enough for me. Why's the complaint?

 

Congratulation, Gryph. Your wait seems to be coming ot an end.....

I agree, everyone is on Epic's rooster for that and the engine is crap. Similarly I have beef with Source engine all around as well.

 

The screenshot is still crap, but the trailer is quiet satisfactory in my tastes. Wasn't the last interm report said they we're using a version of the UT engine (Pre 3.0) then changed to another?

 

However, my gripe is that the model looks a little, off, for the lack of a better term (awful wouldn't be the right word).

 

I am excited though, another thing is, I can't say I got married and DNF still didn't come out (Alot of people can claim that between 1997 and up until the release of the game though).

People consider Unreal Engine 3 a 'cheap' engine. Not being particularly technical or someone who keeps up with shaders or runs an SLI machine, what is wrong with the engine? So far I like the games that use it.

Great article at Rock, Paper, Scissors called "Duke Nukem Taking Forever: So What?"

UE3 is a fine engine but it bugs me when people think it is the end all be all of all engines. I see it so often. I don't know, it's fairly irrational of me.
