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?

[Ransom]

HL2 just uses the Havok physics engine though, doesn't it?

[Rictor]

I don't think so. I think they use a proprietary physics system built into Source.

[SKYNET-011]

About ****ing time.

At least they have a reason for the wait though...

[Ransom]

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!!!

[Ford Prefect]

I don't care what the gameplay is like. Duke Nukem is retarded.

[IceFire]

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

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.*

[pyro-manic]

I should bloody well hope it's better than HL2's. It's not going to be out for years yet...

[SKYNET-011]

Can't blame 'em. Wouldn't you want something like DNF to be top of the line?

, 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)

[Eishtmo]

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.

[NGTM-1R]

If it comes with something like BUILD, I'll be happy.

Of course, it only took me seven years to figure BUILD out...

[demon442]

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.

[Knight Templar]

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...
