Anyways, The Casino looks like its made for GIANTS.

I think it was confirmed somewhere that Duke gets shrunken down in size and has to play through a portion of that Casino level small. Hence why he's riding around in an remote control car. [EDIT] Beaten.

The environments look great though... aside from that monster truck... but that could just be an early model.

I think there were originally some documents with the plot for DNF, but zchri9 has taken the original file offline and replaced it with what you see now. BTW, I sent a PM to zchri9 and asked him to send me those documents.

[zchri9]

William Gee replaced the archive with a picture of chuck norris on a jet ski saying "its real i sw it" or something along those lines..
The Rapidshare link on the first page contains the screenshots.

[cryptonx]

Great .. spoil the game more .. !

Who the heck leaks the damn plot ? unless the game is totally useless ..

This ends it .. forget DNF .. it will never come out !

[Jokke_r]

most of all the screens and stuff can be found on shacknew anyways

Tried to calculate it (was some kind of completion level on the excel files)

(6 / 10) + (4 / 10) + (8 / 10) + (4 / 10) + (0 / 10) + (7 / 10) + (4 / 10) + (6 / 10) + (5 / 10) + (9 / 10) + (9 / 10) + (9 / 10) + (9 / 10) + (9 / 10) + (6 / 10) + (2 / 10) + (9 / 10) + (5 / 10) + (6 / 10) + (2 / 10) + (8 / 10) + (7 / 10) + (9 / 10) + (5 / 10) + (4 / 10) = 15.2

15.2 / 25 = 0.608=60.8%

60.8% done confirmed?

[Psyrgery]

New Flag-Logo for the game!!!

Yep, exactly in 29 july 2008.
It may be true that they were(are?) near the end of development.

Worst, epic-failed sarcasm ever.

[Altered Reality]

What if the leaked plot is a FAKE, made up by someone who read the interview of this "3DRealms developer's brother" and now is laughing his ass off? I have several reasons to suspect this:

1) the whole plot has a general "meh" feel, it's definitely not epic

2) "Duke plays his own video game beating the Cycloid Emperor while having sex with the Holsom Twins" sounds like a bad attempt to write a Duke fan fiction

3) "After beating his own Video Game while having sex with the wholesome Twins" - note the repetition of "having sex" and misspelling "Holsom" as "wholesome": it reads like something a horny 12-year-old with no full grasp of spelling would write

4) "Duke acquires a Jet Pack from a young fan" is clearly a self-insertion: typical in low-grade fanfictions, where the author introduces himself as a character in his own work

5) "Reaching a Buffet/Theatre" - the British spelling of the word "theater" is used, which makes no sense for an American guy working for an American company

6) there is no mention of Duke being shrunk and driving RC cars in his own casino, despite the existence of A LOT of screenshots showing that - maybe because the screenshots were released AFTER the "developer's brother interview", so whoever wrote the fake plot couldn't know it yet

7) "Duke is thrown clear from her afterbirth explosion up into the Stratosfaer infestation": another misspelling, which indicates lack of professionality

8) there is no mention of riding mine carts, which is clearly shown in Bryan Brewer's demo reel

9) the whole Fathership stuff reminds me of an old joke that appeared in the late 1980s or the early 1990s in an Italian gaming magazine

10) the mention of gravity puzzles is a Prey ripoff, which indicates lack of fantasy to invent something original, typical of a fanboy who SHUNS originality and prefers stuff evoking nostalgia of something he already played

11) Gus is not mentioned at all, maybe because an old bearded man does not stimulate the fantasy of a horny 12-year-old nerd

But we don't know anything of Gus. It might have been scrapped out, I guess.

I admit the last point was a long shot, but the other points remain.

[Serge]

The holsome twins are mentioned here: http://randyforsyth.blogspot.com/. So the plot is most likely genuine.
To me, the plot is just perfect: self-humor and a great variety in the situations.

By the way, new shots here: http://3dprofessional.blogspot.com/

I think the plot is real....look at the first pic.....



edit: damn, beat to it!!!!

[Ramen4ever]

I haven't bothered to read the "script" and your points Altered Reality are solid enough to make me want to skip it altogether. ;

spelling was never a strong point of 3dr. there is some really weird spelled stuff in the duke 3d source code if you would look it up. also didn't george misspell his own name in one of his early games?

That's enough to question the authenticity. O_O

[Richard Shead]

If you watch the e3 2001 trailer, you'll see a bunch of in-game art assets are chock full of rather simple spelling errors.

I have uploaded all the pics of DNF I found. I have put them in 1 file:

Maybe someone can include all the images in one PDF or Power Point document?
Made a Picasa web-album with the screenshots provided in this thread.

[ThePinkus]

You know, after reading that plot document, I have one thing to say

BULLSHIT

It sounds like an actual Duke game for the first half of it, and then... umm, well, what the fuck?

Some pretty big spoilers

Spoiler

Why did they say you would see the game through Duke's eyes, and yet force you to play 3 levels as Bombshell? Not only that, but as Bombshell AND SHRUNKEN? I can understand playing a level, maybe 2 levels, but here we have 4 levels total you play shrunked, and only 1 of which you are Duke. It sounds like someone is pulling chains.

Also (not very big of a spoiler),

Spoiler

Why are there so few enemies? Seriously, it seems like you'll be fighting Assualt Troopers, and many versions of the Pigcop. I thought they were making a bunch of new enemies? And yet, theres hardly any new ones. Sounds a bit fishy to me.

In all honesty, I think this plot is half true, half not. I dunno why only half of it would be true, but it gets so ridiculously weird in the second half as if someone is just lying to you and not allowing that part of the game to actually get leaked.

The few that have even read the plot might agree.

[Richard Shead]

I read the full leaked storyboard and I'm convinced that it is 100% legit.

How is it really that far-fetched, anyways?? After all, this IS Duke Nukem, so we should except some wacky stuff to be going on.


And when they said the whole game "would be played through Duke's eyes", they meant no 3rd person shooting sequences a la TTK.

AND that quote is ancient; so much could have changed since then.

[ThePinkus]

Its just a really bizarre second half of the plot.

I mean

Spoiler

Playing a dream level, and the way you exit the level is by getting a lapdance by Bombshell? Duke Clones as a regular enemy the second half of the game? Pigs and Assualt Troopers are assumed the only normal sized enemy, with Octabrains in there too? None of the other enemies sounded like they'd be on multiple levels.

Theres many other points, but its just. I dunno. Its too weird of a plot, even for Duke.

[Lead]

Where did all that design doc stuff even come from?

Like, how does anyone know Rick actually leaked them? Is it assumed so just because his name was marked as the person who wrote the document? Or was it on a personal website like some of the pics were?
