Your just pissed that i'm pointing out what wrong with it
Why should I be pissed because of some internet comments? I was just pointing out the obvious ... haters gonna hate. No matter how far the product as away and no matter what we can do or say about it. Nothing more. We are mor concerned about getting a good product out. That's why we joined the team ...we love Duke Nukem 3D. Everybody on the team knew from the beginning what some reactions on the web would be. That is nothing to be cared about, tbh ... yes, feedback is more than welcome and needed for polishing ... DN3DR relies on that ... there also might be some things in the game that are disliked and what the team thought would be cool ... this will be taken into consideration when working on further build, of course ... but that is all AFTER a beta is out. Until then it must not bother us ... because we cannt change stuff because of comments from people who didn't have a glimpse at the game yet.
A fact that could have been moaned about (if it had been true) is that there won't any beta for feedback planned at all and that we do what we want without asking the community for feedback and opinions at all.
About the grittyness: The looks are a more gritty because we nowadays have the possibility to have a collapsed tunnel where once had been a plain wall that cut off the roads on Hollywood Holocaust. With rocks, debris, burning stuff.
And there could be the wreck of a pickup where once two different sized but clean crates allowed you to jump into the secret room on Hollywood Holocaust. (Please note: I made that up as an example)
This makes things more logic but gives more detail and grittyness at the same time.
The one liners we have aren't different from the ones we know from DN3DR. They are the same or have the same tone ... but they aren't forced, immature humour for preteens like in DNF.
EDIT:
I haven't seen the leaked shots yet, because I couldn't find them after the source got taken down. Had looked if they had spread already. I really hope they don't surface. Although I think they look good (if those are the ones I think that leaked) it would be hard to make clear that they are WIP, don't represent the final product nor even it's current state (they are some months old).
And no, it wasn't a "marketing stunt" or to bypass GBX media embargo.
To the admins here: if you see the shots, please remove them ASAP, GBX is not easy with thet kind of stuff. I was amazed how fast the shots got taken off some very obscure places on the web where I tthought it is impossible to take them down .... but when I went there they were already gone and a comment was posted: "They found me".
