Well, George posts random crap on Shacknews all the time. If he has time for that, surely he can have time to talk about DNF if he really wants to.

I think they're going through another restart right now, or maybe still trying to coordinate all their staff because it can be difficult to pick up on what former employees were doing after the mass departures. It takes time to get the new employees familiar with the customized code they're using for the game, etc.

I also think they're wasting time redoing things like Duke's model, just because people nitpicked the teaser and screenshots.

George sees the DNF community as his personal pain in the ass, imho. It's like "Dude, those DNF kids begging again for the damn game, can't you just go play another damn games??? Geez let me post my random crap in Shacknews, can't you just see we don't want you to see our marvellous product?

But of course we will want you to buy our game even if it sucks!, because we are so confident (or afraid) our game will (won't) blew the crap outta nowadays' FPS's, that's why we won't share anything of it!"

And I pray for their sorry asses if they are restarting the game AGAIN. They better not.

Seriously I'm looking back to last year when the teaser was released and they asked us to Stay Tuned, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THAT PEOPLE?

Stay tuned my ass, they better show me some stuff or trailer before the end of the year or else I'll give up.

Do you think that's the way to treat future customers? It's not, Imho.

[peoplessi]

I can't see any reason to restart, and that has been constantly denied by 3D Realms, so I would take that as a fact for know.

We will see, but I doubt we will see anything this year anymore, but that's ok - as long as the game keeps getting closer and closer.

[crunchysuperman]

Well, even in 12 years I don't think there's any way to be completely bug free on every PC, but it should be damn close. Prey level of bug free would be fine.

But polished, this game better be 100%!! With the amount of time they've had, and the fact that there's no publisher pushing them, no excuse will suffice if anything in this game looks rushed.

Oh, and consolitis!!!

Dammit!!

That game was great, the first part where you're in the bar was my favourite part of the game, i played twice through that entire game without a single problem (from what i can remember at least).

Yeah, you're not wrong, like, if i were to spot say, i dunno, something like.. a dodgy looking texture? or something that isn't as detailed as it could be? i'll probably just think "meh", and carry on, as long as it's not something that stands out like a person with a toaster lodged in their face pretending it isn't there.

one obvious annoyance i am expecting (and im sure im not alone on this one).
hatred is going to rain down on 3DR even if there is the slightest bug, there will be a bunch of troll's (some having no idea about the restarts) on the boards spewing exaggerated capital sentences like the following. e.g "BLAH BLAH 12 YEARS OF WAITING AND POLISHING AND THERE IS STILL MASSIVE PROBLEMSEFjL! 3DR IS TeH SuXoRZ!!!!! >

You don't see a reason for a restart because unlike the management at 3D Realms, you have a sense of logic. There shouldn't have been a need to restart any of the three times they restarted, but that's the fault of illogical management.

And of course they will deny restarts in the same manner they handled the mass departures. It's called damage control.

I appreciate Rock's enthusiasm even if it borders on delusional.

Nobody will know if it's the "second coming" or just a "really good game" or perhaps at worst "crap" until we get our eager hands on it.

If it's a solid sequel to Duke3d then I'll be happy. That's all I ask.

Thanks dude!!

Well it will be both it seems for sure...

We will get that and more.

DUKE NUKEM FOREVER!!

How can you possibly be assured that a trailer is coming this year?

The Clues 3DR leaves in their forums and in many other websites where they talk, more than makes up for the fact that they are working on one as we speak. Let's watch and wait for now, hopefully in my feeling and experience I say we will see a Trailer before the end of this year most likely it seems so.

[crunchysuperman]

Dude, they've been leaving such clues that pointed to similar conclusions for twelve years - all were wrong.

I guess if you keep on saying the same thing a hundred thousand times, eventually you'll be proven right once.

[Montykoro]

1 dolar of my pay pal count...

I BET

NO TRAILER THIS YEAR...

Anyone in?

[crunchysuperman]

As pessimistic as I've become, I still dare to hope for one this year. Sometimes I think it's kind of like a car wreck that you just can't look away from.

Even then, it's just a trailer, and if it took them a year of "stay tuned" to crank that out, I dare not think how much longer to get something we can actually play.

Won't be all that much longer to start thinking about the inevitable restart to support the next generation of consoles, as that's obviously the platform of choice anyway.

Well I may not but I'm very positive and enthusiastic about DNF and know it will Rock Hard and Own many games hahahaaha!! At least I'm not being negative as some of you tend to be or act, thank you very much...

[rockmx8]

What are they doing this for? If it's for DNF'S Character Motions that is definitely going to be interesting.

RANT THREAD.

[DavoX]

Your continuous trolling is very, very negative on the other hand. You KNOW people get annoyed by it and yet you keep doing it, that's called TROLLING just in case you don't know what it is. And each one of your posts can be easily considered flamebait.

If you have 2 brain cells you'll stop doing it.

[zchri9]

George said those mocap cameras are 8k each.
wheres he getting the money from xD

[peoplessi]

Where did he say that?

[DavoX]

I'd like to know as well.

[Yatta]

On a second, newer, Twitter post.

Remember, you can check his Twitter status on the bottom of the right column on Duke4.net's homepage.

[DavoX]

Meh...so just because it's used by some movies it means the game is going to rock? no thanks george.

[Psyrgery]

Well, now we have a bone we don't even know where it's coming from, and of course we will tear it appart until new conclussions are made, even if they are true or false...

Need confirmation by the man himself, and we all know he won't drop anything.

But hey, it's nice to see something nice moving, and not barbecues and offtopic craps.

[DavoX]

You see, YEARS have passed since the time I could've thought of this as "something nice moving". Right now it's just the same old crap.

Tear it apart? new conclusions? why even bother?

It's very common to use mocap, it gives more realistic results for animation. It doesn't necessarily make the workload any easier, but animator(s) has/have better reference to work with. Also, I doubt the mocap alone would make the game rock. This kind of work doesn't really say nothing much of the status of the game - except that they most likely have still some major work to do. That's a small downside.

[rockmx8]

YEAH DUDES I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THIS IN ACTION FOR DUKE NUKEM FOREVER!! IT'S GOING TO MAKE DNF ROCK HARD!!
