This is the first REAL news for the game in a long time. This is good news and shows heavy development. Read the article.

meqon was founded by people that went to my uni...
and well, of course duke will own gordon severely. how could he not?
-
HL2 just uses the Havok physics engine though, doesn't it?
-
I don't think so. I think they use a proprietary physics system built into Source.
-
About ****ing time.
At least they have a reason for the wait though...
-
Hmm. A bit of googling reveals that apparently they did use Havok, but heavily modified it (or something like that). Ah well.
This is interesting, anyway. Another step closer to realistic water.
-
...FOREVER!!!
-
I don't care what the gameplay is like. Duke Nukem is retarded.
-
Duke Nukem Forever was announced when I started High School. I'm now about to graduate from university. I'm not counting on anything right now :D

great things should be allowed to take time. rome wasn't built in one day. it took tolkien 12 years to write lotr, for example.

*Wonders how many times DNF's models have been redone due to increases in technology.*
-
I should bloody well hope it's better than HL2's. It's not going to be out for years yet... ;)
-
Can't blame 'em. Wouldn't you want something like DNF to be top of the line?

alot, i'd have to guess, which probably means they will not look too good, having been built off of the old ones instead of just making brand new ones from scratch (that's what developers do)
-
You know, you really shouldn't put Duke Nukem Forever in the title of a thread. It really only belongs in a post as a punchline.
-
If it comes with something like BUILD, I'll be happy.
Of course, it only took me seven years to figure BUILD out...
-
To tell you the truth, I am not surprised in the least that the developers are incorporating the realism fad that the popular gaming market seems to be stuck in. After all, if the mindless masses don't piss their pants at the drop of a hat, why bother marketing something they can't have?
Innovation, not evolution. Vision, not insight. Immerse yourself in the experience instead of sterilizing it with obvious details.
It's not coming. And it's not funny anymore.
-
I thought it was kind of funny. At least, I was expecting a joke when I saw the thread title.

Come get some... :)

Oh and realistic water could be programmed fairly easily today. It's just that it would require extreme amounts of processor power.
Hence the need for a simulation of realistic water.
Mind, there would be little benefit for games for realistic flowing water anyway.
Except maybe Super Mario Bros... :doubt:

Point taken.
Still, I don't see the big deal with computerized images... :doubt:

It's time to kick ass and chew bubblegum....
Actually that reminds of something....I was doing....ah....making weapons for some Duke project....
ah well
*goes back to Colin Mcrae Rally*

i almost hate to say this.. but
I'll believe it when i see it.
-
So they have the physics engine, when are they going to start making the game?
-
Don't ask silly questions ;)

Do your incoherent, ill-informed ramblings even make sense to you?
-
All this time, just so we can have realisitic shoelace movement... oh yeah..
-
But we already have realistic shoelace movement. Now we get realistic hammocks!

I view this game much as I view Elite 4. I'll take it at face valur if and when it appears and nothing else ;)
-
Duke Nukem? I thought he would be dead by now.......

I have far more faith in Elite 4 showing up, it must take a long time to program something that huge. However, 7-8 years for a FPS is a pisstake. Unless the game is like 300 hours long or something.

*cough* Daikatana *cough cough*
And on the subject of DNF physics: WOO ****ING HOO! I GET TO PUT ROCKS IN A HAMMOCK AND BLOW UP TILES!!!!!! LOOK AT ME! MY B0X0R5 4R3 B31NG F|_|Ck1NG R0X0R3D!!!!!!1111oneoneone
-
Is anyone besides me overwhelmed with nostalgia when they think back to the original Duke Nukem side shooter?
-
Almost.
My dad got pissed when he discovered I was playing them, and either made me uninstall them or made me feel bad enough to uninstall them.
Today I play Halo. :D
-
I played the original Duke Nukem for PC / Winblows 3.1 on my S386X when I was about 4 years old... Man I loved that series. That and some of the games on Atari were my favorites when I was young...

you, sir, are an idiot. you aren't gonna get the game anyway if and when ze game comes out.
but I guess you like unrealistic games set out to be played in the real world, but without physics to match?

Has anyone seen that UE3 physics engine demo?

second one is physics.

Exactly! By the time the game is completed, the physics engine will be obsolete! And then they have to upgrade the engine again to keep it up to date with real world physics!

Halloween Harry was much better than Duke Nukem.

Why is Duke Nukem Forever taking forever?

Uhm, if the physics engine is good enough, that'd have to be a very, very long time. Couple million years or so. :p
