Duke Nukem Forever


Recommended Posts

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 "The screenshots and videos that were here have been removed as they no longer represent the game's current look and feel.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.

Duke Forever

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.

Please don't be a necrophile and dig up OLD topics :angry:

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.

    • They aren't going to want to. Most would just go with the 17 Pro and save money. Why would they want to spend $300 for basically the same thing? It's not worth it if there are hardly any changes from year to year.
    • 24H2 rolled out to the Release Preview Channel in early June 2024, so this coming a bit later in the Experimental Channel (formerly Dev) doesn't really say much more than earlier H2 releases that came out in October. I am not sure what the thinking is here by putting it in Experimental, one would think that the 26H2 stamp means features are locked down and it's now bug tested until October? I don't even pretend to understand Microsoft's strategy for Windows Insider Program though

Nothing Ear (a) are equipped with 11mm dynamic drivers featuring a PM1 + TPU diaphragm. For noise control, the earbuds offer active noise cancellation (ANC) of up to 45dB across frequencies reaching 5,000Hz. The smart ANC algorithm adapts to surrounding noise levels, while a Transparency Mode allows users to remain aware of their environment when needed. Connectivity is handled via Bluetooth 5.3, with support for AAC, SBC, and LDAC audio codecs. Additional features include IP54-rated earbuds for dust and splash resistance, paired with an IPX2-rated charging case. Furthermore, users also benefit from pinch controls, in-ear detection, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, dual-device connectivity, and a low-latency mode designed for gaming and video playback. The Nothing X app unlocks a range of customisation options, including a personalised equaliser, bass enhancement, control remapping, ear tip fit testing, firmware updates, dual-device management, a Find My Earbuds feature, and low-latency mode settings. When it comes to the battery, the earbuds house a 46mAh lithium-ion battery, while the charging case contains a 500mAh cell. With ANC disabled, users can expect up to 9.5 hours of playback from the earbuds and up to 42.5 hours in total with the charging case. With ANC enabled, battery life is rated at up to 5.5 hours per charge and up to 24.5 hours combined with the case. Finally, fast charging is also supported that should provide up to 10 hours of playback from a 10-minute charge with ANC turned off. Nothing Ear (a) Wireless Earbuds (Black): $53.20 (Amazon US) - 33% The CMF Buds Pro 2 feature a dual-driver audio system consisting of an 11mm bass driver and a 6mm micro-planar tweeter. The earbuds use PU (polyurethane) and PET (polyethylene terephthalate) titanium-coated diaphragms and are tuned by Nothing to deliver balanced audio performance. They further support active noise cancellation of up to 50dB across a frequency range of up to 5,000Hz, and noise control features include a Smart ANC algorithm, Adaptive ANC, Transparency Mode, and Clear Voice Technology 2.0. For calls, the CMF Buds Pro 2 use a total of six microphones and feature an environmental noise-cancelling algorithm, Clear Voice Technology 3.0, and Wind Noise Reduction 3.0 that should improve voice clarity during conversations. Furthermore, when it comes to the connectivity, it is provided through Bluetooth 5.4. Additional features include an IP55 rating for dust and water resistance, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift Pair, in-ear detection, a low-latency mode, and a Find My Earbuds function. Moreover, through the Nothing X app for Android and iOS, users can access custom EQ settings, a bass enhancement algorithm, customisable controls, Find My Earbuds, low-latency mode, dual-device connectivity, an ear tip fit test, and firmware updates. The earbuds contain a 60mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery, while the charging case houses a 460mAh battery.
