What DNF reference would you like to see in PREY?

[Gamebrain]

Since Max Payne 2 had a couple of references to DNF, dont you think PREY will have one or 2?
So, what kind of reference do you think will show up? A visual or audio joke? A secret message?

This is strictly opinion based.

(sorry I didnt know if this should go in DNF forum or PREY forum)

random guy comes bursting through the rocks of that desert place with the fire and says: work to be done? it will be done when it's done and we won't accept any less!

Scott Miller and George Broussard were having a conversation in the garage when you go down in the introduction of episode 2 before going behind your desk.
You should listen to it, a few Duke Nukem Forever references there.

I never noticed... well Max Payne 2, here I come http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif
Thanx anyway

I say none.

MP2 had sortof an underlying dark, almost black humor to it in places. And little references like this worked there.

With PREY being so story driving and serious I say to keep such humor and references out of the game.

But in the second level, before the alien invasion takes plac, it wouldn't be that out of place, since everything is still normal then in the flashback http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

does tommy talk?

si

[FireFly]

You can hear (http://www.3drealms.com/prey/ftc_tom03.wav) him speak.

[Gamebrain]

Personally, I wouldnt like an audio joke. I would prefer something written on a wall somewhere that references DNF or somethinhg.

[Needle]

Maybe Tommy could mumble to himself how he won't be able save the world all on his own. Or maybe no reference at all. Looks like they're going for immersion. Clumsy references could take you out of the story.

Yeah, or maybe Duke Nukem himself could jump from a closet and scream "HEY GUYS! I'M TAKING FOREVER! GET IT? DUKE NUKEM FOREVER? DUKE NUKEM, THAT'S ME! AND MY NEW GAME IS CALLED 'DUKE NUKEM FOREVER'!

There should be a secret level where you fight aliens with Duke. And it has Yatta's song in the background.

[YicklePigeon]

Perhaps Tommy should come across a charred skeleton of a human male, the skull of which still wearing sunglasses and one of the hands still clenched around a very big gun.

Then Tommy could utter "Looks like that guy is well done...". Or some other utterly stomach wrenchingly bad pun... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif

I still say there should be a Duke cameo in the line of you (I notice "Micki!" taking notes again back there http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tinyted.gif) coming across a window and a cutscene follows:-

Where Duke and Tommy notice each other through the window, look at each other and then the connection is severed and the game continues. And the same event should occur in DNF but obviously from Duke's point of view.

Regards,

Yickle.

[GodBlitZor]

Duke should be all throughout the game...like G-Man.

and like Yickle's idea, why not instead, have one of the camera screens catch some big bulky guy in a red shirt and blonde hair owning some aliens? and then he walks around a corner and you catch a slight glimpse of his face.

[MeatWagon]

I think it would be cool too see the corpse of a Pig Cop or Octabrain lying around (Well really any Duke Nukem enemy). Preferably somewhere not that noticable, just as a bit of a reward for the player going exploring, to keep it subtle.

[Kalki]

Tommy: "What do you expect me to do, save the world all by myself?"

Grandfather: "You think wearing that jacket makes you look cool or something?"

Yeah, that was somehow what i thought back then...
It was slighthly different though...
It wasn't a window, but an un-reachable portal... There Tommy should be able to see Duke, and Duke looing back at Tommy...

And in DNF, it's somewhat the same... Where Duke looks through an unreachable portal, looking at Tommy...
Og Course, these aren't REAL portals as any other in the game...
I mean, imagine using Noclip, and going from Prey directly into DNF... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Heh, anyways... All this reminds about something...
I always wondered if DNF will feature some sort of Portal tech too..! http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/redface.gif

[RedSplat]

You enter some sort of big chamber where the evil aliens store kidnapped human beings.
Duke can be found in one of the hundreds of bio-cyber-organic-techno cryostasis tubes.
The interface on Duke's tube displays his dreams. ( extreme pornographic violence )
You can see a frosty smirk on his face and there's a phallus shaped protuberance in the tube's structure.

Yeah it was portals we were talking about...boy I wish I still had the old thread!

But my evil thinking is this: if Duke *the model* existed in Prey...just think if we snipped some code there...added some code here... http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hmm, i just thought, but Duke/Tommy, wouldn't they look completely differnt in each game..?
I mean, it's 2 entirely different renders, so they might not look like they're supposed to at all...


Actually, what if we altered the idea a bit, and instead of seeing Duke, you'll see Tommy from the 98 build of Prey...

I like the original idea better. It would just make the idea of a cameo much more fitting in the whole concept of the game.

[Altered Reality]

If there has to be a cameo, I'd like it to be very discreet. For example, there could be a guy in the bar who reads a gaming magazine, on which cover we can be read "DUKE NUKEM FOREVER RELEASED!"

[Conrad Coldwood]

Hey, wasn't there already a DNF cameo? I mean... you know, the green-explosive-bug-working-like-an-hand-grenade (Tommy just take away one of its legs before it explode)... I wonder if I haven't seen that in the last E3 DNF Video (somewhere around the Terminator appearance), except the bug was red...

EDIT: Second thought: well, it would be a Prey cameo in DNF... errr.... nevermind that http://forums.3drealms.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
