Oh. They slowed it down? Like duke forever slow? If it's that slow I might not buy it. That's really sad to see a game turn out that way. I hoped it would be like ROTT. Without the bugs until 1.1.

[Micky C]

It's kind of hard to describe why it's slower, but it's definitely not an attempt at a 1:1 remake like ROTT, so I imagine an online verses mode wouldn't be anything like the original.

This might not be such a bad thing, but they shouldn't keep calling it old school when it's only half way there.

[MusicallyInspired]

I'm getting it anyway....eventually. It just looks darn fun. Slow or no.

[Tetsuo]

I'm not sure I'd classify ROTT as a 1:1 remake to be quite honest in terms of gameplay or anything. There's a number of differences and despite me not being a "the original is always better" type of guy I think the original ROTT was more fun. Especially in the air control department which still isn't the best in ROTT 1.1. Even basic things like the way the guns feel when you are shooting someone feels off to me in ROTT (2013). Although it's slightly improved in 1.1. I feel objectively speaking ROTT is no more a 1:1 remake than this is. Actually, I may turn out to enjoy this more despite what's been said here. ROTT was kind of a disappointment to me I'm sad to say.

[DukeNukem64]

A lot of people said that. But the game costs 14.99$. I have to buy SW for twice as much and I can't even play any mp. So for me, I'll wait since its missing a lot that I personally loved. I can't even buy a 4-pack to gift away, so in that matter the game is too expensive for me. I can wait for 50-90% off I can't really pay more than 20$ for a game. Unless its a AAA game I've waited for in 13 years. Or next time that happens I will now better . Hope you get the point. I really find it sad that I pay more than us citizens for almost every single steam game. Students are kinda poor in Denmark, most people buy 1-2 games a year or hope for a cool gift at Christmas. I hope that in the future there will be a 1:1 translation of the prices.

[Micky C]

I didnt say it was 1:1, I said it was an attempt at it. As in its about as close as we can expect given the modern audience and market.

Awesome trailer! Shadow Warrior looks like it stands a chance of being 2013's best shooter. Just over a week till it releases.

[----]

Gameplay looks OK.

But who the hell wrote the oneliners?

"That is one ugly ass shotgun" is as funny and interesting as watching your t-shirts dry on a clothesline during deepest winter.

Dear devs, don't let 6 year olds with the wit of an empty toothpaste tube do the writing. Especially if you have to compensate for a totally bad voice actor. Please make it so, that it is as interesting as watching your t-shirt dry on Kat Dennings doing rope jumping, thanks.


EDIT:
I am no writer and it is early in the morning (lack of enough coffee still), but I think the following line would have been much better than the above:

"Hmmm, gun looks ugly, but will make ugly mess* "


*) This one needs to be read with original Lo Wang voice.

As a lot of people said: don't see this as a SW remake, think if it as a new game with roots in SW-franchise. Makes it slit easier to accept lo wang.

Yes, but it still has bad voiceacting and bad oneliners.

[Mr. Tibbs]

Here's an interview with Shadow Warrior's writer, Slawomir Uliasz (Witcher 2).



On Lo Wang: 'He's younger here, it's not the same old geezer. Maybe he will be some day, but now he's just young and full of energy hero. But still he's not the brightest fish in the pond. He cracks a lot of jokes, some of them good, some of them bad, some of them cheesy. It's all in the character'

"Don't blame me, blame the character".

That's cute.

Then, as I and many other people have asked in the thread, why name this game Shadow Warrior? The worst thing you can do with a dead franchise is kill it again.

[DukeNukem64]

Money talks. Everyone knows shadow warrior so automatically they would want to see what it is and maybe tell their friends etc. money talks

[Night Wolf]

I could maybe accept this as a new reimagined Shadow Warrior, but that damn voice actor.
Lo Wang sounds like he was born in America.

[Mike Norvak]

**Nevermind**

[Jimmy]

This is what happens when people who don't speak English natively write jokes in English.

"HAH HAH, I SAID UGLY! I GOT THEM GOOD."

As much as I want to like this game, I just can't.

[Mr. Tibbs]

New gameplay presentations today:

- New location at the 12:00 mark. Looks damn impressive for a 18 month dev cycle. I love that if you rely on special powers the enemies will shift into a more powerful form with different abilities. Some other details: 12 weapons. You can complete the game using only the sword. Huge boss battles. Arena mode within the month (as a free patch) along with new melee weapons, both as skins and from big franchises with unique abilities. Three previously unseen enemy types in the video.



http://www.ign.com/v...oper-commentary - Nigel Lowry 8:50 'Every sentence since we've announced, "by the way when are you going to remake Blood." It's not out of the realm of possibility. We'd love to do something like that.' Over 460 lines (outside of cutscenes) for Lo Wang.

George Broussard seems pleased with the game. 'Juicy action. Can't wait. I think Flying Wild Hog may have exceed the original game ' https://twitter.com/...541334945161216

[Malgon]

Bought this the other day from GOG, definitely hanging to play it.

[DukeNukem64]

Am i really the only one who thinks the control seems weird? The way he swings his sword seems to annoy me for some reason. :/

[Micky C]

Yeah considering that DNF was what George considered to be the pinnacle of Duke games, I don't think his opinion should carry any weight here.

[Mr. Tibbs]

I don't think he's involved in Shadow Warrior. Is he even still a part of whatever 3D Realms is now days?

Off-topic: George Broussard was not happy with how DNF turned out and has said as much many times.

Also, was the original Shadow Warrior initially an external project?

It was. The old Shadow Warrior site suggests that the team went to 3DR to finish up the game, but they instead basically redid it from scratch.

Don't know how I missed it but the game got an R18+ rating here https://twitter.com/...266761661259777 http://www.classific...5t6GmjgzJC5ShaT
