And people say Postal 2 has no relation to the Duke Nukem franchise.

That was the first thing I thought of.

What it makes it more interesting is that this seems to predate Postal 2, so it's actually not one of the features that George saw in another game and felt had to be added in (in fact it seems like he hated it).

The sticky bomb feature sounds interesting.

Shadow Warrior was definitely a playground for future DNF features. Not sure if that was intentional or more organic but it's all there.

Not gonna lie, seeing things like the nuke or the grenade launcher would have been really cool on DNF.

Whatever the reason, I always thought that Shadow Warrior was DN3D's spiritual successor, considering all the technical improvements and experimental additions while keeping the core gameplay relatively the same. The HUD is even just a straight copy.

If Postal 2 had come out in 2000-2001, it might've been a different story altogether.

Nuke technically is still in DNF and functional but it does have a funny empty fire glitch where Duke fires nothing if he's out of ammo, also blast radius is a bit glitchy sadly.
Funnily enough, Nuke uses the exact same countdown system as the SW97 nuke does, right down to the sounds used.

The ability to piss in Jay Leno's drinking mug automatically makes 2002 DNF superior to 2011 DNF in every way imaginable.

Updated the imgur archive with the full images of the beta that ZEN_Ivan posted.

Edit: According to Aleks and Pavigna the screenshots posted to the 3D Discord server also where quietly made to sleep with the fishies.



EDIT: Updated Internet Archive link.

i'm not sorry

So there's some embargo on a game that was released a decade ago from employees who worked on the game two decades ago in a development studio that doesn't even exist anymore(or at least as it was back then)? Maybe that means an official compilation or collection release is coming(keep dreaming).

I've got a more plausible explanation.

Randy's an asshole.

Or both. Probably both.

What the fuck? They could just tell him to not release anything else. I mean John Romero was releasing a lot of alpha/beta stuff from Doom untill Bethesda finally told to him to stop, as technically speaking, he was releasing still copyrighted assets. But c'mon, when it comes to DNF, those are just screenshots.

And nuking the account only confirmed those were real screenshots.

Eh, I think it was already confirmed...why would a prolific ex developer lie or fabricate shots? I think it only confirms that

I think it's more probable that the guy deleted his own account after realising the screenshots he leaked are still subject to an NDA

Then why not be less conspicuous and just take down the posts?

[Kyeb]

Just LOL at the Twitter account getting nuked over two screenshots of a 20 year old beta. Jesus 😆

[High Treason]

The industry consistently acts this way over prototypes and yet, people still wonder how the "BETA IS BETTA!!!" people came to have such an odd mentality. Less time and effort is probably put into keeping people out of Area 51.

I don't think it could be Take-2 I posted gameplay of the Max Payne beta on youtube that was originally posted on the 3D Realms discord and I never had a complaint. If anything it could Gearbox or 2K games doing this maybe there is a compilation in the works but I highly doubt it.

I just know that 2K has some claim over DNF. That part I'm fairly sure Randy wasn't bullshitting about.

It might be the lack of infamy that allowed you to keep the gameplay. The development of MP is nowhere near as infamous as the development of DNF (almost no game is), not to mention it was an ex dev on twitter, one of the biggest social media companies of the modern age, as opposed to a discord hangout for old games.

If that's the case why not copyright strike the DNF 2001 webms that are on youtube? I want to say that someone contacted Brandon to delete the messages but instead he deleted his account so people wouldn't ask what happened to the screenshots he posted but in the end is still suspicious.

Well, to be fair, he said he had posted it on Youtube.
