Yatta?

That was such a brilliant, eloquently stated post, that I am very pleased to upvote it.

See, I just really wanna see 3DR get back on top again. I really think their money ticket would be a +++ remake of Shadow Warrior. Give it a little more self identity from Duke3D. Perhaps, pick which side of the asian fence to really be on (Japanese or Chinese, etc), tweak a few of the concepts to be mucho more fun. The whole ninja swordplay element would be a lot of fun, and I don't think it would need to be changed to a third person game. I think it would work wonderfully as an FPS.

A Shadow Warrior remake/sequel would be really good, but I could have sworn that Scott Miller (or someone) was talking about a RoTT reboot some time ago - personally, I would preffer SW as I was never a fan of RoTT - I've come to the conclusion that I don't dislike it but it just doesn't seem to tick the right boxes.

I was thinking along the lines of bringing back multiple characters - Halloween Harry, Snake Logan, Lo Wang, Major Stryker (BTW, how exactly is he related to Duke? do they exist in the same time, or is it a case of Identical Grandson?) - to team up with Duke. That could possibly bring some diversity into game play (either team/squad-based or several parts of the game played through by different characters). What do you guys think? (Oh wait, there are copyright issues in the way, right?) At any rate, I'm sure those characters from other games also deserve to have at least an episodic appearance in a new game

As for the ROTT reboot, I've also heard about that but I think the only thing that was done so far was a mobile phone or maybe handheld console port (shouldn't be difficult to do with DOSBox I guess). I love the game and certainly would like to see something new done with it. Haven't played Return of the Triad yet but it seems to be very nice

Maybe that's why he likes people. The more you go out the more you'll find likeable people. Posted Image

He does not post much here. His name matches an attribute of the font, I just used. Posted Image

He's a very good guy, indeed. He should post more.

Maybe you need to get out less. Too much of anything will screw with your head.

I just read this whole thread as I don't follow here often...
Relative to the drastic reduction in the 3D Realms community, I logged and read most of the 3D Realms site over the years. It took about two years to read it all to catch up. I got to know everyone, so to speak, before I considered joining. I didn't have much to say that wasn't already said, and I was gaming my butt off back then quite frankly. I grew to like many of the members there, though I am known to few really. I used to only lurk. I was a member of Resaurus forums before 3D Realms actually.

Anyway, one thing that I believe added fuel to the fire of community and posting there that is gone, that I have yet to see mentioned in this thread, is the lack of interaction from George, and Scott... AND the the development team. For obvious reasons. If you look at the threads where the developers interacted with us, or George/Scott... the posts explode and take a whole new energy, and most of that ass-headed-ness is greatly reduced as well. This often lasted sometimes for pages. (and I have my page display set to whatever the max # of posts is.)

Aspect 2... if you look at SO many of the posts from overly enthusiastic, newbies, and others who might not realize how infrequently the owners and developers posted there, MANY questions were posted directly toward these developers and owners. The suggestion or implication is that those members inspiration was the fact that there was at the very least, the possibility to interact with said parties.

Now these are completely gone. Personally, I check the posts of George B and Brian T. just to see if they have said anything. Been a very long time. The point being that anyone who enjoyed the site due to AT LEAST the possibility of interacting with, or even being heard by, "the crew" is gone. Their words were considered the gold in a vast amount of mining to some... maybe the shafts exist, but there is no chance of gold anymore.

(That wasn't supposed to be a pun meaning we got the shaft, but hey...

)
