Who is this George person anyway? Has he done anything that I would be familiar with?

No, I think he is the town drunk or something of the sort.

Never expected to hear "3D Realms," "Half-Life," and "Uncharted" ever used in the same context...

Some say... he ate all the money for the project he was working on, all I know he's called George Broussard...

He did make the greatest game of all time, AKA Duke 3D. :)

Huh, since you put it like that... kind of makes the whole 'George is brilliant vs George is a douche' debate really clumsy and awkward...

As far as I know, the subject of which you speak of is not a person. You see, people have emotions, a capacity for logic, and a basic understanding of right and wrong.

Granted it can't exercise those human traits, it cannot be one of us. :)

I know it sound's silly but I love than damned game.

Never liked Half-life to be honest.
The story is so ****** up and there really was not meant to be a sequel.

Not really:

What was the most challenging part about developing Duke Nukem 3D?

In hindsight it wasn't all that challenging. It was a different time then and things were simpler. We knew what we wanted to make and just did it. We didn't really have any team turnover or technical issues or anything. It was a very pure time for making games, and everything was really smooth.

You've described your development procedure as bottom-up rather than top-down. How do you keep a consistent vision for the game through that process?

The vision's the easy part. What's hard is making a game that pushes new boundaries, rather than just being a clone or an evolutionary step. We have a fairly detailed design for the game, but we also take the time to add in fresh, new ideas, those ideas that come to you as you make the game that you couldn't plan for. Those are usually the ideas that make a good game and great game and are usually the ideas that don't make it into most games because of deadlines and release dates set by some marketing weenie at a publisher.

Also:

“Duke came from nothing special,” Broussard reveals. “It was just a character developed for the first Duke Nukem game [a platformer released in 1991]. The name rhymed and nuking things sounded cool. That’s as deep as character design got in those days.”

Similarly, everything in DN3D fell together almost at the last minute. “It certainly evolved over time,” he notes. “A lot of things, like Duke talking, the interactivity, the strippers and pop culture references, were added in the last four to five months of development.

Why wasn't this posted in the Uncharted 2 thread, BTW?
Really didn't need one of its own.

It was X-Com UFO Defense until I played Valkyria Chronicles.

Well I have only played the first Uncharted game I wouldn't call it that great as I thought it was very unoriginal. It seems like the second game is much better than the first.

In your mind. It went like this.

Yo X-Com, I'm really happy for you, and I'ma let you finish. But Valkyria Chronicles is the new best game of all time. OF ALL TIME.

Yeah, it's a pretty groovy game, innit?

My point was however, that the way Duke3D turned out had nothing to do with George Broussard being some visionary genius, but was in stead a happy combination of the state of game design at the time, individual talent and circumstance; GB certainly didn't "make" Duke3D (by himself).
