Actually Manhattan Project IIRC, In fact, I noticed a quality difference in the various Duke lines, seems some may have been placeholders from Duke3d until better versions could be recorded.

Most of the sounds are from Time To Kill, I am ripping most of them as we speak.

There's a lot of cool stuff in that video. Obvious clipping issues with the pigs climbing the shack but honestly, I wouldn't care if they just released a damn demo

[zchri9]

Ive been screwing around with ImTOO HD Video Converter.

The video @ 720P

Yeah, I'd love to play the Dam.

I mean, a majority of the content shown (excluding this video) are from the Dam. Like the Jace Hall stuff, one of the small thumbnail pics, etc etc.

Plus, I wanna see the infestation in action.

[ryche]

I like how the little icons for the nightvision, holoduke, roids, and something else show up at the bottom left corner but then go away to free up more screen for action.

Yeah, anything playable would be fine by me.

A 4 Level Shareware Like Shadow Warrior would be perfect.

What makes that "720p" version any better than just playing the original video at fullscreen?

The fact that you can say it's 720p.

and file size is bigger

Youtube video down due to a terms of use violation

[ThePinkus]

I'm honestly wondering what a single 'beta' or something like "preview", instead of calling it a demo, would hurt if they released one.

I mean, surely there's at least 15 minutes worth of gameplay that's extremely polished that has action in it and some weapons.

Ive changed mine to private for the time being because I just saw that.

[ryche]

I'm not surprised...youtube was pretty quick to take it down. I wonder how they know it was violating anything


Joe perhaps? ha ha

[ThePinkus]

Sound's like George might be saying no

Exactly, I mean they don't owe us anything, but I mean a lot of us have been hanging on DNFs every word since it appeared in the 199x PC Gamer.

And polished or not, I've played plenty of Previews/Demos that were not the utmost quality.

[ThePinkus]

Just give me that hallway in the very last scene, where Duke is using the shotgun, and that'd be enough

[ryche]

I doubt George is up this late. Remember...he is pushing beyond 40. People get tired around 8pm at that age


(mocking my own parents btw, I'm not really serious.)

[ThePinkus]

Looking at that Pig animation again, the plunger one, it looks more like he's pulling on a rope

I mean, the other Pig animations also seem to be tugging away at a rope, so I'd think it was a group of them tugging at something

Now, just what were they tugging at...?

Tug O War Mode Confirmed? Yeah, I was gonna say that, but Toilet plunger sounds more Duke Like.

Yeah, but he'll be up at the crack of dawn don't forget.

[ryche]

I was always thinking that the pig was tugging rope. Oh well.

I wonder what kind of gun that was that Duke used on the first boss that shot the blue shit out. Looked cool. Freeze ray or something else?

[ryche]

NM, I re-watched it, pausing as I went...they were rockets of some sort.


Well...the blue explosions....freeze rockets? Aw hell, I dunno.

[ThePinkus]

I was wondering. Could Duke 4 have started out you fighting the Cycloid Emperor? I mean, what other reasonable explanation is there for you to fight it in a stadium again?

I could see it as you fight it with maybe only the devastator, kill it, you kick its eye out, and then a UFO comes and abducts you, you escape, get flown off somehow, flip it off, lose your weapons as your falling, and then the game REALLY kicks off "4 hours later..." with you only having your fists, running through the EDF headquarters as Pigs take over.

What I think from the footage.

[zchri9]

Youtube is starting to be flooded with the video.

[ryche]

At 2:26 - 2:38ish you can see the water at Duke's feet running...it looks tight.

[ryche]

Pinkus - Sounds as about as logical as any guess. I'd buy it!

[Ramen4ever]

Yeah, I'd place my vote on freezer, I don't see why the battlelord would just let you climb it otherwise. Then Duke slapped him to wake him back up. lol

He'd let you climb him, because you knocked him down with enough damage, which would let you trigger a quick time event (as in, mash on space bar) and judging by him having 3 of those horns, you probably had to at least do it 3 times to kill him.

Standard boss fight mechanic.

[ryche]

Yeah, it reminds me of the Wii version of Force Unleashed...I didn't play any other version but I'm assuming they all had the mechanic of if you did something you then had the option of smashin certain buttons when asked to do stuff.

[ryche]

ZChri - Actually he's site has said that all day. Probably even prior.

Makes sense as well but it's hard to buy the "battlelord's so hurt he doesn't even try to stop you from ripping his spike/horn out" routine.
