So it was a real chainsaw digitized into a sprite? That makes sense, seeing that it was originally the Laser Chainsaw.

Can anyone tell the brand/model of the chainsaw?

Is there somewhere shot of this "toy" from where this model was taken from? I'd really like to see the real world version if just possible. I believe the shotgun reference has already been shown forexample.

This has been on the site for a few years.

I'm aware of the image, but I meant the brand/model of the real life version of the chainsaw it was based on like how Doom did it.



Guess I forgot it was a 3D model based on the concept art because the model looks too damn good. I think someone mentioned the pistol was scanned from a photo, but it has cartoonish proportions now.

[Fox]

Look at Lameduke, the pistol has obvious polygons.

[Minigunner]

Pretty much all weapon sprites except for the shotgun and hands are rendered 3D models.

[Jimmy]

The pistol is clearly modeled after a HiPoint.

I don't know if this will be interesting to the majority of users, but I decided to record my poor attempt to recreate the space level we've seen in the beta video. It's on youtube now. I wanted to use for one of my abandoned space maps, and also see how level like this will look in final game. Sure, I don't aimed for 100% accuracy...but at least I tried.

I really like it. Its very "Doom like" while keeping the Duke3D feel. Great work!

[Player Lin]

Cool! And plus the RotT music really make me love it so hard.

It is interesting that there is a unique fanart made by the magazine's artist of the very first alpha/beta POLICE Pigcop.

No one has ever found the sprites?

They will never release the sprites, unfortunately whoever holds the rights does not want, As if there was a gain from these prototypes...

Whats with the green floor in the Hollywood Holocaust map? Also I'm not liking the smiling pig cop. The rest of those scans are pretty cool.

It's most likely from the night vision goggles.

Nah, carpet just used to be green.

So Battlelord (with a staff) was going to be the final boss? Based on the giant drill in the background, looks like it was going to be an underground level. If the dickgun Overlord was implemented in the game at one point, then was this Battlelord too?

I think the original intention was for the Battlelord to pick up the gun. I have some animated versions of the Battlelord with no gun, and some with different versions of the animations, and even some where the Battlelord punches you, but I've not seen anything with the spear.

Have you got a picture to illustrate that? I've googled it and I'm not seeing a resemblance.

[Jimmy]

Whoever made the model moved the ejection port to a more traditional spot like on a Glock, but the ridging, slide, thickness and overall shape of the gun give it away. People mistake it for a Glock, but as a Glock owner I can tell you that they are very thin and square-shaped (and very expensive.) HiPoints are cheap and have more of a curvy design. These guns are shit and since you can get them so cheap people always make modifications to them. It's very common for people to remove the sights because the guns can become very inaccurate over time anyway. Just look up HiPoint 45, there are hundreds of pictures.

TX is possible to see a little frame of this animations? we are curious

more SW scans

Patience is key. If time and legality permits, then we'll see.

[Sanek]

Yes. You've waited for Duke Nukem Forever, now you can't wait for this?

I just hope diabetes won't deal the finishing blow right when it's all cleared for release

Speaking as someone who has had Diabetes for 24 years, I think we've got time.

What kind of updates are you looking for beyond me saying that I'm not currently working with Gearbox on anything and don't have permission to release full builds?

There hoping this time around will be different the last 50,000,000 times they asked you . It's silly really, because when the betas do get released, I'm sure it will be splashed all over Duke4.

You can poke here for assets released on Discord and not yet the forums (I'm too lazy to relink a series of images atm).

You will never see betas, make a reason
