Wow. That's fucked up. You were on the dev team so that speaks volumes.

So Fresch used GBX to get a vacation, and risked putting a franchise on life support.

GBX used Fresch to cover their ass, but it blew up in their face.

The lack of professionalism in the video game industry is exactly why I got into IT.

Thank goodness for Duke Nukem 3D and its unbridled modding community on Duke4.net and beyond. I don't know where we all would be without it, especially with criminal mismanaging witnessed with OFFICIAL games like this.

And you were part of the hype drum?? I could tell you were not happy with the way things were going for a while, are you still part of Intercepter or have you told fresch to blow it out his obnoxious lying vainity ridden ass?
Hearing that he put his face in the game with whats probably a jersey shore body doesnt help things, dick head much? *Fresch* - "All the time!". Acting like he created Duke Nukem, please.

No, I had that theory before I was on the team and was only a moderator then. It has nothing to do with being on the Interceptor team or what goes on between GBX and Interceptor since Reloaded is put on hold.

I had that idea when I heard that Reloaded got a license and that DNF won't* get mod tools about one year ago already.


EDIT: Read Ripemanewone's post too late. Yes I am still part of Interceptor and will continue to work for them and support them.

Well I hope you are payed well because that shit they pulled with DN3D:R is a bad start, bad karma if you will, why start a company with an epic fail? Should it not be the other way around? I would have though that would have made sense as opposed to pissing off an old gamer community like Duke fans with such a complex history of dissapointment. Anyway I dont blame you, and wish you well with your career, I think maybe you could find a better ship to sail on though. As if Intercepter cant pull off a remake of one of the best games ever created with a licence some would probably literally kill for what hope have they got.

I could be wrong you guys could become innovators or just another faceless corporation only interested in personal wealth whatever the cost, but judging by the way fresch handled that DN3D:R fiasco Id bet on the latter.

PS what ever happen to more info in a week or 2?...nevermind.

This is fucking hilarious. Interceptor and Gearbox are fucking lol-cows. I'm glad they let us milk them.

Damn, he's looking good.

[Mr.Deviance]

The Duke Nukem series is riddled with so many fuckups and so many failed opportunities and fan disappointing decisions, that at this point I am really starting to wonder if these fuckups won't manage to find a way to make even Duke 3d fail even though it was released 15 years ago and is still one of the golden games of our times...
If there's somebody capable to make a classic game fail, I think it's Randy Pitchford and his gang of bankers mixed with people like Fresch.

So if you wake up one morning and find yourself hating duke 3d for no reason, then think of Gearbox possibly having something to do with it and with time travel.

[Stabs]

even i can agree with that deviance, frencch is a fuckup and the definition of failure, who the fuck with 1 hour of UT engine knowledge couldn't make what he made, if not 100x better

your nothing more than a noise hole that spews randys cock flavored lies

[NUKEMDAVE]

I don't know if this means anything, but fresch had a 4 hour conference call with Terry Nagy over a week ago. I seen them post about it via Facebook.

Sorry for being nosey, but I found it kind of suspicious.

[Micky C]

Who's Terry Nagy?

As I've said, I bear no hatred toward Duke Nukem 3D. In fact, I still rank it as one of my most favorite games of all time. The mere fact that it itself has nothing to do with modern first-person shooters is what keeps me playing it. As far as I'm concerned, however, Duke Nukem Forever doesn't exist, and I couldn't care less what Gearbox is doing with the franchise since I have fan modifications.

Apogee = point in outer space, furthest from earth ....
CCO is a cross between Cancer Care Ontario and Community Corrections Officer.
So is he trying to stomp out the cancer of Duke Nukem? Good Luck.

So http://www.apogeesoftware.com/ is their potential first publisher. Heh. Talk about going full circle.

These guys from the reloaded team keep trying to cease or exclude posts about their project failure. They asked GBX to close their hype thread (and they did) created because people were rightfully calling bullshit on them, and now they whined and requested to exclude a post of somebody reporting how unfinished and crappy their game is.

Maybe they just want to start from scratch as a "serious" dev company and they want to use a sponge and cover up the fact that their first public project failed bad.
They might want silence about Duke Nukem 3d Reloaded so that nobody else gets to hear about it and judge their next commercial project, based on their failure with DNR.

[Fox]

You know what they are saying is bullshit when you hear that it's 90% completed. If it was 90% completed they wouldn't stop to begin with, that's obvious.

true.
to be fair, I kinda liked the pig cop they did. Some impressive textures on it. Whoever is in charge of textures, did a good job on it. Miles away better than DNF's.

Everything else was just forgettable. I don't think the shotgun on the screenshots is the Winchester Defender from Duke. If is supposed to be, is not very well done.

[Mad Max RW]

Yeah, it's hard to argue their art guys are extremely talented. In game development they seem to always get fucked the hardest.

So I report the above (now deleted) post for spam, then I go back to the main page and see a whole bunch of new posts by this bot.

Does anyone honesty ever click on those links or even read them?

If at least the bot wrote something that makes sense...

[zwieback]

sorry for this negative post but i need to write this down.

i just wanted to drop by and say THANK YOU fresch! THANK YOU to turn down the only option we had to get a nice duke mod. i am one of the many that tried several times during the 3drealms times to get permission and was turned down every time.

In the name of all duke fans and mod creators, thank you that you hyped the shit out of us and the media, and to be just another let down in the end.
because it was a special opportunity i really hoped that it would turn out to be something nice. but you put it "on hold" and cancel it because you weren't allowed to release screenshots? seriously?. wow. thank you.

i just had to say that. it's not that i care that the mod has been cancelled or put on hold BUT i do/did care for the license.

i guess what you do now is copy duke, rename him and create a game out of it (pathfinder).. A game some people will notice, but a game that will drown like the other hundreds of fps games that get released by half serious teams all over the planet each month in the ammount of fps games that get released by the pro teams.
Is that worth the effort? My personal answer is NO it's not - but maybe i'm plain wrong and you are the best game producer on the planet with the best publisher out there and i'm just a talking idiot with no idea about anything.

i don't care - i only care about the duke license.
