Gearbox is shit and their DNF was mediocre. 3D Realms' DNF also would just be a mediocre shooter, stop pretending like it would've been god's gift to vidya. The only reason anyone pretends to want it now is because it's one more reason for them to shit on Gearbox. You know this to be true.
Austin Perez
He looks like he's about to off himself.
Zachary Jackson
I stopped caring about Duke in the late 90s. You need to move on too.
Adrian Campbell
idknow it might be more fun maybe it just looked dated and ugly and that's why they didn't release it.
if it really was that finished its retarded that they remade it.
shows how they just buy brands and names and didn't really "buy the game and finish it"
Eli Rogers
This screenshot was released in 1999
Looks better than Half Life, and Deus Ex, technically speaking. I don't think it looking "dated" was an issue at all.
>being shocked at randy fucking over a game Yeah after colonial marines he can fuck right off.
Kayden Sullivan
Battleborn flopping hit him hard.
Carson Turner
We can only hope Boardermemes 3 bankrupts them and a company with even a modicum of talent gets the rights. Sadly it'll probably be one of the big publishers and we'll get absolute garbage games that destroy Duke as a character, because nothing good ever happens in this industry.
Jacob Howard
Also nobody really wanted Silent Hills, they just want another reason to shit on Konami.
Charles Evans
>complete unnoticed
Had some threads about it over a week ago though. But there are no pictures and nothing we can do about it, and we all already hate Randy's guts, so what can we do.
Bentley Wilson
Can you honestly say the 2001 trailer didn't hype you up for Duke at the time?
If you didn't actually watch it back then, you're leally excused.
Dominic Cooper
I'll never understand how people actually took that "DNF was staged! some guy I know said it so it must be true!" seriously.
I mean, aside from the development screenshots being leaked, and actually being able to see the drastic changes to the engine over time from 1998 to 2000, to 2003, you can tell they were just blowing all their money they'd made from the Duke games to try and make the most cutting edge release possible but continually getting cucked by newer releases.
I think they should've just released it in 2001, cut all the superfluous shit. Would it have been mediocre? Sure, but mediocrity is a lot better than disappointing and even "bad".
>dukes coming to theaters next month >dukes coming to smash >dukes coming to theaters again with john cena >ree we need more duke
how entitled is too entitled?
Tyler Powell
It didn't go unnoticed by Sup Forums you newfag. We had threads about this weeks ago and someone from Gearbox was even leaking screenshots from the 2001 build + the Max Payne alpha. The reason nobody is talking about this is because there is nothing left to discuss. Randy is a huge faggot, that's all.
Jonathan Wood
>1600x1200 >01/20/2000 Fuck me.
John Turner
He's full of shit and blowing smoke. He doesn't have shit still.
Christopher Wilson
Guess this.
As long as randy/the beta guy is holding these betas hostage we cant do anything.
Theres a reason randy was labeled as 'a fucking asshole' in the duke3d megaton edition credits.
Besides, what made Duke 3D famous was the attitude and the TECHNOLOGY, not the graphical fidelity.
Isaiah Powell
Randy being a colossal faggot and a liar. What's new? That being said I don't really care about Duke anymore, but if they released it for free I'd play it.
Andrew Kelly
>somehow this goes by completely unnoticed by the video gaming world and even more surprisingly, Sup Forums
That's how little Sup Forums cares about randy bobandy nowadays, or Duke Nuke for that matter.
Angel Watson
>Randy Pitchford is a fucking scum-bag piece of shit conman In other news, sky is blue and water is wet. Seriously though, everyone should be fully aware of what an utter waste of oxygen Randy Pitchford is. Especially if you're a Borderlands fan. I mean you're still probably going to buy his shit in that case, because you're retarded, because you're a Borderlands fan. But for one second, just one fucking second, disregard your >B-BUT IT'S FUN WITH MUH FRIENDS! And realize the truth. Yard work is fun with you friends, and Gearbox is a cancer on the games industry.
If I was Randy Pitchford I'd put a gun in my mouth today.
Luke Johnson
>Holy shit, how are we not furious about this? Everyone's always furious at Randy user. Everyone.
Hudson Gomez
>wanting to play an alpha of a 2001 game
Yeah, no thanks.
Aiden Hernandez
Not Borderlands fans. I mean they lack half a brain so it's slightly understandable, but they're still technically people.
Henry Lopez
Unless the 2001 version is just as shit as the final game we got, I don't see why they'd be against just releasing this version of DNF, no one's buying the new game and people would be genuinely interested in seeing how the 2001 game plays Is Randy just miles deep up his own ass that he just wants to force Duke Nukem to be whatever he wants
>Holy shit, how are we not furious about this? Because "we" are not a hive mind? Some of us are perfectly satisfied with how the REAL DNF ended up.
Xavier Ramirez
I think he doesn't want it to be released because he wants to try and make a dime off it if possible, even though he had absolutely nothing to do with the 2001 build of the game.
Or he's using that as an excuse because he's afraid the 2001 release was legit as fuck and it would make his own studio look like a bunch of hacks in comparison.
If they are playing DNF 2001 DM with each other, it's clearly in a playable, mostly finished state, and they OWN the Duke brand, so giving them the okay isn't that big of a deal.
Xavier Long
Well I don't see much issue of just releasing DUKE NUKEM FOREVER 2001 EDITION on Steam and consoles and just sell it for money, the game will garner interest considering it's part of the history of DNF's development and the popularity of retro styled FPS games right now Plus, Gearbox just finished 3D Realm's last build of DNF before launching, I don't think they care that much outside of Randy's ego
1. Randy Pitchford is less than worthless subhuman trash. Even thinking about him is a waste of energy.
2. 2001 was 17 years ago.
3. After all that has transpired, people just want to forget the Duke and move on with their lives.
Adrian Stewart
Why does anyone give a damn about this dated garbage. Just play Doom.
Noah Fisher
>dated garbage >just go play doom >implying doom isn't dated garbage fucking bait, I don't even know why I come here anymore
Nicholas Robinson
You're both aspies
Doom and Duke Nukem are neither dated nor garbage.
>B-B-B-B-But muh grafix!
Then fuck off and go watch tech demos you inbred ass-faggot piece of shit cancer upon the gaming community.
>B-B-B-B-But muh cinematics
Then go watch a movie you inbred ass-faggot piece of shit cancer upon the gaming community.
Jack Robinson
>implying anyone uses the cinematic argument Yeah, nah, doom is dated as fuck because of its fucking archaic camera system, unrealistic carrying capacity for weapons, and shit tier multiplayer. Fuck off with your strawman bait.
Hudson Thompson
>archaic camera system First person is archaic? Owo, much infos, many news
>implying not having the ability to aim manually on the y axis is not archaic
Nathan James
He looks like he's about 5 minutes away from doing just that holy fucking JUST
Austin Howard
That's not camera perspective R-tard, it's called aim/control.
Grayson Barnes
time stamp for when he backpedals?
Luke King
I never said camera perspective. I said camera system, and being able to move the camera is a part of the camera system.
Robert Rogers
Camera system IS the perspective. If you have a first person camera system, that's a perspective and how the camera is controlled. If it's third person, that's the perspective IE the system and how it functions.
Being able to move the camera is control.
Go home, be a babby retard somewhere else please.
Leo Gutierrez
the worst thing was being in that site thread where they were showing off old duke beta assets. they were originally going to release the builds after testing, and then got real quiet. so basically a lot of teasing for nothing.
>voodoo extreme >seti at home >ie5 >icq those were the fucking days
Jace Nguyen
pitchford brought that shitheap fair and square, you can't blame pitchford for a decade of fuck ups on behalf of 3d realms.
Josiah Ortiz
You are legitimately retarded
Julian Johnson
>hurrr, I make stupid shitty comments online that don't make any fucking sense >hurrr don't prove me wrong, ur a retard
Go away and never come back, mongoloid.
Connor Clark
time to leak it
Henry Gomez
Very few actual games are ever leaked
Liam Nelson
Fucking Randy
Oliver Carter
Wait, afaik gearbox didn't made the current DNF, it was developed by 3D Realms and Gearbox bought the license when the game was about to be cancelled (and later released it, half-finished and all). It's not the 2001 DNF but it's not gearbox's either
Brayden Garcia
I tell you somth'n, i counted them all, it's zero, nada, 0, null. Here is what is going to habbn, fuck fatty pigforch, he is a cunt and sucks fem dicks all day long. The leak is happening
Jaxson Myers
I'd still like to see it released just because of it being part of the history of DNF's development
