Insert obligatory derisive comment about Fresch's hair here.

I think the hair speaks for itself.

Literally.

His hair is actually funny. I always got the feeling that he wants to look cool and he hasn't yet found a way haha.
That's what I don't like about him.
Everything seems forced and fake about him.
Some guy said above that he wears non prescription glasses and I tend to believe it.
All that's missing from his plastic look is a fedora and he's the perfect stereotype

Bernard Sumner of New Order managed to make that hair cool, but that was back in 1984. Even for Duke fans, 1984 was a long time ago.

Good luck with the game anyway.

[necroslut]

I hope this turns out well, and that they can then get back to Duke 3D Reloaded.
I'm looking forward to the game in itself as well, but as much as I would D3D Reloaded.

[Lunick]

They are not getting back into Duke 3D Reloaded though...

The projects been put on hold, not stopped, there's a difference. Although with Gearbox there could quite possibly be no difference.

[Jimmy]

Anybody who thinks that project is gonna come around is trippin'.

[Night Wolf]

Why would they go back to (DN3DR) a free project, when they have tasted the green.

[OpenMaw]

I'd put money on other 3DRealms/Apogee titles. Shadow Warrior, RAPTOR, Blake Stone, Bio Menace.

My bet is that Apogee will lean on Interceptor for many of it's future titles.

[necroslut]

They might not be going back to it as a free project; if RoTT does well Gearbox/T2 might be interested in it.
But hey, I'm a Duke Nukem fan, you expect me to stop hoping?

I loved DNF. So, no.

[Micky C]

I'm glad you like it, but to the majority of hard core Duke fans, and for the majority of the wider gaming community, DNF was a huge disappointment and a fail. Note carefully what I'm actually saying here. Was the game necessarily bad? Not really. Was it a huge disappointment? (insert huge promises and hype, and the 3 decade-spanning waiting time). Yes it was.

By all means hope, but expect any dreams to come true in the near future for the Duke franchise.

[Tetsuo]

Duke Reloaded may not come out any time soon but the situation on it is distinctly different than with DNF. If and when Gearbox gets around to working on Duke5 they probably wont replicate the conditions that produced DNF so unless they purposely make a game modeled on DNF the same thing wont happen with it.... and even then I think simply not being mismanaged for ~12 years would count a lot towards making it different anyway. Different people in charge, different company. I know some of you have an irrational hatred of Gearbox but they are not 3D Realms and don't have guys like George Broussard in charge. But we'll just have to wait and see if and when they make Duke 5 and or if they ever give Interceptor the go ahead to finish up Duke Nukem 3D Reloaded.

[Inspector Lagomorf]

I've come to the conclusion that Forever's failure was not directly as a result of Gearbox, but rather due to a snowball effect of years of hype and expectations. With all of the hype generated by Duke Nukem Forever, no game could conceivably have been released to simultaneously satisfy the fans, professional reviewers, and casual gamers all at once. Tetsuo is correct; Gearbox has had a solid reputation with other games such as Opposing Force and Borderlands. I'm not as excited about Duke Reloaded simply because the custom content community for Duke Nukem 3D is absolutely hopping as it is; Reloaded has to complete against DukePlus, WG Realms, Naferia's Reign, the HRP, etc. Our standards really are quite high and it goes to show that great graphics does not always a great game make.

I will say that this project has made me start playing through Rise Of The Triad again. The game has its little nuisances, but it's otherwise quite fun, and I can't wait to see what Interceptor does with this if indeed they do succeed.

[Lunick]

[Night Wolf]

Gearbox were responsible for the overall change in not only Dukes appearance but overall attitude.
They did more damage to Duke Nukem than people realise.

Don't forget the gangsta-wannabe cover art and the literally shitty advertisement.

[Micky C]

Yeah that cover art was awful, it practically screams "lowest common denominator". The feces ad and the way you can throw it around and how duke reacts to being forced to throw it around is still funny, however I'm painfully aware that in a highly interactive game, it would be perfectly fine, but in a game like DNF with a few specialized pieces of interactivity here and there, it feels a lot more cheap and childish, and stands out much more as crude humor.

[Mr.Deviance]

If you thought Fresch's hair and non prescription glasses were lolz, then check his new pic out.
I can say this might just possibly be the epitome of lame.

Aww and here's another one I found...


Photoshop is Fresch's biggest friend it seems...

[Kathy]

Let me guess... are you in love?

[Inspector Lagomorf]

It's no secret to anyone that Mr.Deviance has a deep, throbbing man-crush for Fresch.

No, I just can't help myself from laughing at lame arrogant posers. I love making fun of them with every occasion that I have.
I don't like lamers that are arrogant posers.
But I guess that should have been painfully obvious by now for those who know my style of posting and general attitude around here, especially when it comes to my opinions on Fresch and his "achievements"

[Sangman]

Yeah we get it you don't like fresch - I don't particularly like him either - but this constant ad hominem shit is just getting really stupid now. Perhaps he might be a poser but you're being a giant cunt yourself.

To me you sound like a person who has nothing else do to in life than criticize people. The internet must be heaven for you so we can't see what kind of a person you really are. At least he has the balls to show who he is instead of looking down at other people.
There is always something negative to comment on someone. I don't like posers who think they are awesome, but really, you don't know what he is thinking, he is probably a really nice guy with no greater expectations to himself than anyone else.
