Jace wasn't playing it, he was watching a fraps video it seems. Maybe its just cos it didn't have grabbag over it that I didn't like it. It looks a way off from release. They did say it was a few months ago. Oh I know the reason why I didn't like it now, it was the pace, but its been said by 3dr previously that it would be comparative in speed to modern shooters. Looks like the difference between Doom 2 and 3 to me, scarier but not as fun, maybe that's why it was delayed so much so they could get the fun factor back cos all it had back then was
Duke and a GOOD but not amazing game. They know it has to blow eveything else away but somehow after seeing that, hmm I think I prefer HL2, it just seems meh to me. I'll still buy it and keep slobbering like a hound for a bone for more info but... I dunno, I was expecting something a little less generic looking. Well at least its Duke and its going to have all the interactivity needed to make this game great, they have only shown us the bare minimum here to keep from spoilers for the trailer but its Duke and the gfx look good, esp the pig cop. They had better change that weapon choice system. It looks like we're gonna need at least a dual core and a geforce 8 or =/+. to run but we knew that anyway. What's up with the devastator? It looks like 2 rpg's! Please Please 3DR give us the old school weapon selection menu's even if it is an easter egg. Well done by the way, you have produced a fine looking game and all the extra stuff hasn't been shown KEEP IT SECRET!!!!!!

It looked splendid, and a lot like a real action game. Loved it.
Don't like the HL2 weapon system. But that doesnt matter.

[socaljim]

I really liked the video. The game looks great to me and I am sure its even better in HD or actually playing the game. Prey looked like the graphics weren't that great until I actually played the game for myself. I think DNF is a combo of HL2 and Doom3, but with a lot more bells and whistles. More secrets from 3DR to come!

This show was great! I loved the interview with George and Scott, and then we got to see game footage!!!! The game looks absolutly awesome in action. We already saw a tiny bit of the action sequences in the 2007 Teaser trailer, but this shows a lot more of the gameplay, and it looks like it's extremely fun to play! I especially liked seeing the ripper chaingun in action. This is great! I don't think it'll be long now at all until they start talking about the game and showing screenshots and videos officially!

[socaljim]

I think the green slime on the floor really stands out and shows the power of the graphics/lighting systems. This game is going to be a hit!

The part that I am looking forward to the most is talking trash to co-workers and duking it out after work. Multiplayer is going to be off the hook!

[crunchysuperman]

Ok, I retract the pessimisms of the past couple of days - they actually showed a little gaameplay footage. Not what I wanted, but more than I expected, so I'm pleased.

Looks fun too!

[rockmx8]

Where is it on Xbox Live?! I can't find it please help I really want to see it ON MY TV!!

[Sinisterambo]

I don't want sexy smooth weapons!!! I want clunky 80's mechanical square weapons like Duke3D!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!! Its not fair!! Duke4 has curves??!!!!??!!!!

[Sinisterambo]

I just found the HD button, I have to say I want to take a lot of my earlier comments back after watching in HD. I know I could with the edit button but, that would be cheating etc. I'm just surprised at how different it looks compared to the teaser from december. I've been waiting since 05 (and Duke of course) to upgrade my PC cos of what Joe said in the sticky and it looks like soon I could get a new one which means I can play something else other than CS:S

[rockmx8]

AWESOME!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE MORE!! DNF WILL ROCK!! I saw it better here:

THe video starts at 2:33

[Micki!]

Just as a reminder to people who might have missed this:
I recomend watching it in HD, it's, well, better...
The HD icon is on upper right corner of the video itself...

[Halcyon]

So that was a part of the Hoover Dam levels? Very cool, I'm looking forward to seeing more of it.

Also I like this quote a lot:

George Broussard said:

Never fear, there are bright, daylight levels, as well. I'd say all times of day and mood are represented at some point. There is a mixture of corridor crawls, and larger more open areas (indoor and out).

[zchri9]

The footage on the Jace Hall show was excellent!
shakey footage but cool =D

[rockmx8]

AWESOME DNF IS GOING TO BE REALLY BIG AND HOT!! GOD HELP IT BE SUCCESSFUL AND RELEASED ALREADY!!

[zchri9]

3D Realms should release a high res screen every saturday until release to keep up entertained =D
12 years later.... "THATS A FUCK LOAD OF SCREEN SHOTS!"

Here are the quotes I could find regarding this, questions/comments provided for context where necessary:

Comment:

[quote]I hope this isn't Doom 3 (indoors and dark).[/quote]

Answer:

[quote]t's not. This was a snippet from one level inside hoover dam, for a few mins. there are large outdoor environments, too, and tons of stuff not seen here. I wasn't even sure they were going to show game footage as the original deal was to just film jason playing the game, and a reaction. They cut in a few scenese here and there. Much much more to see and come.[/quote]

[quote]We only let jason play a small section of one level. rest assured there are large ooutdoor open areas and much much more to come. this is but a small taste.[/quote]

[quote]You're looking at it from a scientific angle, only analyzing a few seconds of gameplay. Most people look at it as confirmation that the game they want to play is alive, breathing, and coming...

There is so much more to show, it's silly. And it still won't be enough for lots of people, and that's ok.[/quote]

[quote]Any voice in there was added by HD Films and isn't in game.[/quote]

Comment:

[quote]That EDF supply crate is one of the worst crates in the history of crates. But otherwise... /throws confetti![/quote]

Answer:

[quote] Been replaced for quite a while now. That footage is 6 months old and lots of things are updated or tweaked/different now.[/quote]

Comment:

[quote]oh yeah, the points thing that pops up definitly needs to go[/quote]

Answer:

[quote]Programmer art and temp, which is why footage was never really intended to be shown, and why we're not quite doing "official" releases of in game stuff. It's in progress but about to have another polish pass.[/quote]

[quote]We do polish passes on things all the time. It just depends what the focus is. Some people are polishing and others are building new things, and it all changes all the time. There are times when we lock down for 3-4 weeks and virtually everyone works on polish as a core goal, too.[/quote]

Comment:

[quote]so does this video count as "stay tuned" material?[/quote]

Answer:

[quote]Not really. It was kind of random.[/quote]


[quote] The particle effects in this video are about 6 months old and most of the combat fx have been replaced by now with new hotness.[/quote]

[Havoc 05]

Wow cool... just saw it, and well, yeah, cool.

Cool, there was a shrinker, the devastator, and the ripper chaingun. Anything I missed?

There was pics of pipebombs on the HUD too.

The ripper kinda looked skinny though? too long a barrel.

[rockmx8]

I will just say one more thing: This game will be worth the time it took for sure!! I can't wait for that Trailer this year hopefully...

[Master Fibbles]

THanks for compiling those quotes Kristian. I know I missed lots of George's quotes as the thread grew.

Seriously dude thanks for that as well...

[Yatta]

Nicely done Kristian, I'm posting that to the front page.

Also I've got to figure out what's wrong with the forum quote function.

[Lead]

Those quotes do help with bringing it back in context for some people who may be confused.

Like I guess some people have trouble realizing that even if a game does rock, you can't expect every second of playing to reflect that. The gameplay we saw I could tell as I watched it was very "controlled" in the sense that they were really picky about what they were letting that guy play. It's not like they let him sit down and play the entire thing and they showed the best part of the game, or scenes that best portray the game as a whole. Basically they were just showing the game exists.

It is interesting to know though that the video we just saw is from around the era of the teaser trailer. A lot of crap can be done in the 6 months since it was made.

[rockmx8]

Agreed and Well Said I will be waiting for the next batch of media, Dang we need more...

[Cerberus_e]

I only saw it once yet (Friday), but I'll watch it again in HD now.
Thank you for the quotes Kristian Joensen.
I like that long thing there... a worm or so
Originally I thought of the Hoover Dam it would feature the battlelord for the first time, but seems we get a more original surprise

If I see one more mention of crates on the 3DR forums.....

Care to enlighten those that aren't there anymore?

[Micki!]

It's the old 3drealms.com/duke4/crate.jpg image ( well, i think it was called that, haha)
It's been brought up in 3DR's Jace Hall thread, and Joe then made a new emoticon, the crate... The deal was the fact that we know there's a Forklift in DNF, so naturally a crate would just make sense to be in the game world... But then there's the thing with, will there be an overflow of unecessary mysterious crates lying in every level..?

So the crate was brought up, been joked with, even plotting the game is all about crates (yes, even fake Magazine announcements were made for the thread via photoshop)

So, alotta crate talk, and it's going on some peoples nerves, haha...

[NUKEMDAVE]

Some people seem to think that the PigCop is holding a Ripper Chaingun, but it looks nothing like the one Duke's holding. I believe it's a triple barrel pump action shotgun.

[rockmx8]

Yup it sure looks like that dude, I knew it couldn't have been the Ripper Chaingun...

[Micki!]

I am 100% sure it's the ripper it's holding...
3 Barreled shotgun is silly, remember it's mutated EDF Forces... Normal humans carrying such weapons isn't right in my eyes, and i wouldn't like Duke to carry that, i'd keep the single barreled Pump action he has...

You can see it pretty well in this footage, and it's clearly designed differently from Duke's Chaingun. If it is a Chaingun, there must be two different models in the game. Triple barrel shotguns do exist today, but are not currently used by police, special forces, etc.


But remember, DNF is supposed to be set in the near future, so 3 barrel shotguns are very likely. Maybe the PigCops can use more than one weapon, now that would be cool!

[rockmx8]

Duke is going to massacre the Pigs no matter what they got, and you're Right with your Statement. I also remembered that In Duke Nukem Advance there are 4 Barrel Shotguns, so Dave could be right about his 3 Barrel Shotgun Theory for DNF...
