Well apparently today is the day of the 3DR Christmas party. I can't wait to see some more twitter posts of the guys eating some delicious food. *Rolls eyes*

I know I shouldn't expect anything today and that there isn't even a mere chance of media but there is twinkle inside of me that says there is a possibility of seeing something at least relevant to DNF.

I hope i'm right but I shouldn't expect to see anything. I SHOULD KNOW BETTER BY NOW! *Smacks self in Head*

But if I am right I would do what the main theme of this video is:

Laokin, there so many thinks wrong with what you said so I am just gonna address one point:

"Bioshock was made in 14 months."

You are confusing time from start of development to release with time from announcement to release.

[peoplessi]

And? DNF was announced 12 years ago

It's a small detail that doesn't really matter, since in between there has been numerous games released. Making DNF has just taken more time, it's closing the time it took to finish Half-Life 2.

I don't care either way, as long as DNF is coming along nicely, and if we don't see nothing this year, then that's that. It will come eventually.

Actually I said that before he did. But to a certain degree it's true. Like I wrote in Twitter thread, they moved from Pre-Alpha having no game at all, but a scripted demo and a concept to full polished game in 14 months. They had a long prototype and conceptual period before that but it's to say that they've basically built, playtested and polished a lenghty, deep game in 14 months or close to that.

Joe made it clear that he knew nothing of a trailer being made...

Yeah, but they could've decided to start working on a trailer right after he posted that. Let's say they are indeed working on a trailer and they're going to release it on Christmas morning. Do you guys think it's possible that they could finish it by Christmas if they started working on it shortly after Joe posted that? Surely it doesn't take that long to make a great trailer like the E3 2001 trailer. If they already have music for it, then all they need to do is record some gameplay footage and add the logos, and hopefully a release date at the end! And then the rest of the work is just putting the trailer together and releasing it, which doesn't take that long because I make fake trailers all the time.

Yeah you're exactly right dude, we have some experience since we make fake trailers usually. Especially you and I are able to make it pretty fast and easy even though they aren't official. So in 3DR case all they need is what you said plus some Epic music and bam they got a perfect video game trailer of Super Legendary Proportions. Please 3DR do that and release a freaking trailer already it wouldn't hurt to, I really am not interested in some more photos or some guy playing DNF for 1 minute and telling how he felt about it.

We want our Meat and Potatoes now 3DR, stop giving us scraps or portions of media, we need WHOLE media now!!

[DavoX]

You guys are forgetting that your trailers suck

Good, well prepared and EPIC trailers take a shitload of time to make, it's not just picking up some videos and throw them together with some random music like all the fan made trailers.

[Sharpie]

Honestly do you think Joe would tell us if 3DR has something in store for us? He would be instructed not to and it is pretty much his job to keep things in order and to run the forums the way 3DR wants him to.

For years they have kept us in the dark in all aspects and Joe is keeping that tradition. For all we know they could be making a trailer. He just says to his recollections that they aren't making one. He is only the forum moderator, there are higher people in the company that 100% knowing whats going on.

So don't just write the trailer off just yet. I'm not saying it is/isn't coming I am saying we are in the same position we have been for years. We don't know in one way or another what is happening.

Also spectacular trailers take longer than a couple of days to make. They take plenty of time in all aspects to make a "professional" trailer not one that is made for some people on youtube.

This may be a little O/T for a rant thread, but I'm guessing no-one else spotted this yet?



It's a rotated and adjusted piece from one of George's Twitter pics (from their Christmas party). Second one down: George's Twitter

I'll leave it to the more knowledgeable folks here to identify who we're seeing there

[Battousai]

Just beat me to it!

Ready to post that, just saw it myself.

Edit: Maybe 2 Pig cops, Cycloid Emperor, and an assualt trooper to the far left?

[Sharpie]

Now that is the kind of thing i expected when George set up his twitter. I guess he finally figured out what we wanted!

Better than nothing. Those enemies look badass! I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!

It is a good tease but that is not even close to near enough to tide me over until the new year.

[zchri9]

Thats some awesome rapping paper!
Wish my presents were rapped in that =D

Anyhow, its cool.
I hope a digitalized version is released =]

[Kathy]

Yeah, DNF models! Whoopty-fucking-doo...

Exactly !, nice but not nearly enough

[Battousai]

Now imagine Joe's thoughts on what he has to now deal with when he gets back to work on Monday with the forumers, MASSIVE :facepalm:

LOL when I thought of that.

I'm going to try some enhancements on that image to see if we can make her look a little better!

[NUKEMDAVE]

This one is much sharper and has more color!

You know that was mean , but we'll forget about it.

Yes that's true but they're gamepros they can do it easier and better without taking so long...

[trackit]

this image is worthless imo!

[crunchysuperman]

Those are all well & good, but still fall under the whole "neh, neh, neh - look what we have amongst ourselves & you don't" routine.

Full blown FOR THE FANS trailer or I'm not impressed.

[Micki!]

Just for the record, it was confirmed by Joe earlier, that the gilft wrapping with the enemies, is Game art, and NOT an actual screenshot...

Just in case people were gonna discuss that matter later, now it's been clear...

[Betelgeuse]

it's pretty cool.... hopefully there's a climax to these little twitter updates, and it just doesn't fizzle out into a annoying teaser + another long wait for "substantial" material.

Confirmed as a screenshot by George himself.

Horay, some lo-res tidbit to pick up apart until the following 1~2 months. I'm excited.

[/sarcasm]

[Micki!]

Was gonna say that, so yeah... George confirmed otherwise, this is actually ingame...

I'm surprised, i really thogut it was art, of course it's a little hard to tell from some package wrappings that were photographed...

Now, i'd love the actual digital version of it...

[peoplessi]

I just hope the animation is suberb on those, it wouldn't make much sense to have poor animation on such great models. In my opinion great animation combined with proper sound effects makes combat 3x better

Hopefully there's more meaty and chunky media coming this month by the 19th, still this was a good little scraps like treat...

Totally different sound in the clock now, why so rockmx8?

Well a safe bet would be Christmas, the 19th maybe a good date too but it was used last year so I'm not sure if media will be presented that day. 3DR also keeps hinting to us for Christmas via their interactive logos.
