will there still be that enemy Protozoid Slimer? if it does it should jump at you and jump everywhere like on side of the walls basicly any where. instead of sloooowly it should be able to jump on your face and psyical attacks (kick) wont harm it >:) teaches you to not waste ammo :D

Yeah.
I think at one point 3dr said they have "about 15 enemies, working on more". I really hope this doesnt count the little miscelaneous enemies, like the protozoid, rats, sharks, and other little things that attack you but arnt full-fledged enemies.

If protozoid slimers are in DNF, i would rather want them to move slowly, like a fast snail, and of course it can attach itself to any surface... It's like a slime-ball/puddle, that moves with the wind...
And if it's near you, it'll attach iself to your head, and start chewing your eyebrows off... :D
I think it's more scary to have alot of slow enemies, that are hard to notice, than fast moving of that kind...
Adds variation between enemies too...
The protozoid slimers need to look really threatening - Anyone remember the part with those slimers in Unreal? I think it was on the ISV-Kran, there was a containment chamber with huuuge slimers. They weren't really that scary, but it did give me the feeling "oh jesus I gotta avoid those f*ckers". Then I figured out I could easily take them out with rockets, though.. That did kindof kill that feeling.
Maybe it'd be better that, if you meet a protozoid, you have to take us of your environment.. like, lure them in a deep fall they can't just jump out of :)

it would be better to jump around alot of the surfaces (they jump slower than a head crab half life 1 and 2) i agree it will be scary making it slower then you thought it was gone and you went through the corner and sucks your brains out. but having it to jump on your face is better and more scarier and harder... and the octopus thingy enemy (forgot what they are called) should be a mother of the eggs and look after it and the eggs can either come ot as a little octopus thingy smithiny bob whatever/ or the slime :) how about that?

and how about the babes? they should be a secrewt female alien that when you turn your back on them they attack you, and the ones inside the caccoon thing where they say "kill me" should be as dangerous as well.

Those Octopus enemies are called Octabrains...
I think the rotozoid slimers and Octabrains aren't related to each otehr though...
They hatch from huge eggs, about the size of themselves, and i can't imagine something of the size of an Octabrains head, to even be layed...It's as if a hen would lay an egg in the size of it's own body... So physically, i can't see them being related... Unless the eggs are smaller in DNF, and they have a logical explanation for it's existence...
But that's not what games are about... :hhg:
Certain enemies, then i want the Octa-Avenger... :(
It can't be said too often... :o

If protozoid slimers or equivalent are in, I want to see them climb up Duke's visible player body.

That's a must have, since the game features FBA... :cool:

well i see those octobrains always stay near the eggs so they got-to-be somehow related, look in shrapnal city/ or some other official levels made by 3d realms and alot of octobrains are with the eggs unless theirs a 'female octobrain' which has a bigger body and the male ones are guards. dont you think?

Maybe they are some kind of guardians... It could be that the Protozoid slimers are going through several phases, like a lifecycles alá Aliens/Xenomorphs
And because they are so damn Weak, Octabrains, who are relatively powerfull enemies, are guarding them...

then the game should add the new enemy! Mother Octobrain!!!!!!!!!!!! *in a big loud demonic voice!*
Micki!
08-21-2006, 03:21 PM
Yeah, quite alot of us want that... Some kind of Octabrain Overlord or something...
I invented my own new type of Octabrain not too long ago... I personally liked the design...

The Protozoid Slimer has been in since Duke Nukem 2 iirc, so I think there is a good chance it will be in. I would like it to because I would love to see how it would look and move with current day tech :)

Yeah with all the shader based effects it could make for a very grossed out experience. :mryuck:

i just thought..there is something that was missing in duke 3d about the protozoid slimer..it was the slime..
i,d like it to leave a trail behind..would be very nice.. we could sometimes e3ven use it to follow them to their nest or something..
also, could be cool or not.. after they eat they could grow bigger, and bigger, and bigger, without limits :p

prey had just a few enemies,i felt very disapointed while i was playing prey,beacause i dont like to fight the same enemy each time.telling the truth there was nothing new,except the final boss - "Mother",very old fashioned.
Didnt they tell us,more surprises on the way?maybe my expectations were too high?
As of Duke Nukem forever,ten years of waiting.i dont want to wait another 15 years........:(waste of time

No..! :tinyted:
It's the same thing... It has 2 names... :o
Some developers call it Full Body Awareness...
