And what of all those videos and screensnaps from a few years ago? If even half of that stuff makes it into the final release (driving down a freeway away from an enormous thermonuclear explosion whilst firing at choppers) we have something special to look forward.

It was said somewhere in an interview that everything from the video a few years back no longer exists, and they started from scratch sometime after that point.

Yeah, they must have produced tons of content. That's also why they asked all the resident morons on their forums to submit content ideas, am I rite? And 3drealms? Christ, they never ever did a real game after Duke3D.

Shadow Warrior?? They also had a hand in Max Payne and Max Payne 2.

yup. "The screenshots and videos that were here have been removed as they no longer represent the game's current look and feel. We will put more up at a later date." Taken from the website.

lol, by the time this comes out half-life 3 will be out and the physics will surpass this game. Then again I believe this whole duke nukem forever is a conspiracy and will never come out. Also what do they think of unreal 3, that game surpass most pc games out in graphics and polygons and im sure the physics are gonna be superb?

Duke Nukem Forever

The title says it all. I've been waiting for this game for years, as I did 5 years for DOOM 3! When it comes out, it'll be everything I expected it to be. I don't expect it to be better than every other game out there.

Like for example, I think that HL2 and DOOM 3 are different, but both equally perfect. I still play DOOM 3 more, but that's because the story unfolds so well, unlike HL and HL2, where I still don't know who the damn G-Man is or why I'm having to run from the whole city.

Duke Nukem Forever will most likely have awesome graphics, awesome sound, great physics, and of course, awesome dialouge.

So all I have to say is...

Hail to the king, baby!

well you do know that the polygon counts in unreal3 games are quite low;)

its the normal mapping that makes it look high, there are a few engines around now that can do this. the Realty Engine is my favorite alternative, will be used on xbox 2 titles as far as i know.

anyways there is no doubting that the unreal3 engine will rock though.

Unlike Valve, who have spent most of their time developing the source engine, DNF has been under design for, um, a decade now. Regardless of engine changes, 3drealms must have produced a hell of a lot of content. A lot of ideas. A lot of set-pieces.

I swear this game is going to be *huge*. Literally, I'm expecting it to take a loong time to complete. They keep recruiting new level designers (see site).

Just like how Daikatana was awsome

And anyway, this is 3drealms. Those guys aren't stupid... they know what the industry is like now, and that they can't get away with producing inferior content. Games like Half-Life lasted purely because they are of such high quality, irrespective of any graphics or game features or haveing two trillion weapons....

I have high hopes. PS, the 'Prey" project has reappeared again.

This game will NEVER EVER EVER see the light of day.....EVER.....

Heh so true, theres still some die hard fanboys out there though that'll swear otherwise. Frankly I can't believe 3D Realms are still around, if I as a company pushed a deadline for a customer back 8 Years+ I can pretty much gurantee that I won't be seeing many more customers.

I didn't say they did develop MP1 and 2 I said they had a hand in them. As for Shadow Warrior, if they didn't develop it... who did?

585800302[/snapback]

Yeah I made a mistake. Shadow Warrior was (I think) developed internally by 3D Realms. I know for a fact, however, that it wasn't done by the Duke 3D team. Not that that team still exists anymore, however, as almost everyone has left the company since then.

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements

      By David Uzondu · Posted

      Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.

      26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2, urges IT admins to prepare for release

      By WrongHead™ · Posted

      It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
