people have been saying its coming for a while but they were all rumors but they are true now

Edit: god sakes wrong section. is it possible this can be moved.

[Psyrgery]

Yessss, this is the Duke Nukem game we were waiting for.

Oh wai-

[nebiatsu]

Who cares?

Sic of this 3DR/Apogee 'release everything made 100 years ago on every mobile platform known to man' instead of giving us new games.

:(

Welcome to the future of Duke Nukem.

Next game will prolly be Duke Nukem Does Facebook.

Casual gaming is shock and awesome.

[Kristian Joensen]

So it is finally confirmed, but still no information about what team is working on it.

[WoodenSword]

nevermind

[Damien_Azreal]

Moved the thread as requested by thread starter.

But, I'm looking forward to this. :D I love Manhattan Project... being able to play it on my 360... awesome.

[dukeonly]

but why was it moved to the duke nukem forever forum?

if i cant ask

[Duke's New Chainsaw]

Because it wasn't. :o

I only played the demo on the PC. Don't know why I never bought it. Guess I'll have to get it. :D

[Damien_Azreal]

but why was it moved to the duke nukem forever forum?

if i cant ask

Because it has nothing to do with DNF. This is a Duke Nukem game, and as such... all Duke Nukem topics not directly related to DNF go in the Duke Nukem forum.

So, DN3D, DN: Manhattan Project, the playstation games... the N64 port... anything Duke that is not DNF... goes here. And only here. It's confusing... I know, but just... try.

[GrimWoman]

I'm going to have to get this, too bad it looks like its still only a single player game. I was hoping they might add coop to it.

[pjVgt]

I don`t a have xbox but I am happy that finally this game went out from copyright limbo it was dragged into.

[The Dukenator]

I only played the demo on the PC. Don't know why I never bought it. Guess I'll have to get it. :D
I had played the hell out of the demo in 2002. Bought it in 2003, still have it today.

It might be the same team who did Duke3D XBLA.

[Altered Reality]

No, it will be Duke Nukem Teaches Typing. And it will come out on the Iphone only. :rolleyes:

but why was it moved to the duke nukem forever forum?

It wasn't. It was started in the DNF forum by mistake, and then it was moved to the general Duke Nukem forum.

The team that did Duke 3D would probably be too small for a game like this, and the team who did Duke 3D was part of the DNF team. I believe the game was ported by a MS team.

[SpinX]

don't care about this game... maybe for iphone I would buy it...

You're most probably right! :)

[hightreason]

Well, I'm gald this seems to be coming out (you watch it go the same way as DNT :o ) anyway, i doubt it's easy to screw up a port of this, it already renders to Direct3D and the controls were a simple Left/Right Jump/Shoot and Action affair, so it'd be hard to mess them up as well.

I'm sticking to my guns that radar had something to do with it, but as they aren't developers I don't know what that might be (I'm only saying this to stop myself looking dumb, but you'd probably forgotten what I said so it may have the opposite effect).

[fast-1]

Is the Xbox360 pad okay for platform games.

I never tried it out.

[MegaMustaine]

Is the Xbox360 pad okay for platform games.

I never tried it out.

Yeah, it is great. It will be much better for this game than the keyboard setup.

[defragen1]

more money to fund DNF!!!

[Glassagate]

Instant buy!

[DrakeBueno]

Playstation gets no love from the duke :(

[MegaMustaine]

I'm not sure how much demand there is in the PS3 market for old PC games. It seems a lot of developers, such as Croteam with SSHD don't think it is worth their time or efforts as there is no money to be made on the system.

[Duke's New Chainsaw]

Duke:
Just sayin.

[PredatorFL]

what's funny is that on the web page in the marketplace, it lists the developer to be 3D realms, it must have been an outside XBLA team because 3DR has no developers.

On another note I bet the freaks out there are already saying hey guyyyysss!!! that means they can get $$ from this game to fund DNF!!!! wowwwweeeee.... lol

[8IronBob]

Manhattan Project probably may play better on a console, anyways. It was a little tedious on the PC without a gamepad. I mean, I was able to get by keyboard and mouse with most tasks, but...for a sidescroller game, gamepads are probably best for those types of games, those or racing/driving games.

[MegaMustaine]

A wheel and pedals are best for racing games. :)

[pjVgt]

more money to fund DNF!!!

DNMP is a great game - for me it is actually better than DN3D.

But the money wont go to DNF - it was cancelled remeber? Money will go for pizza, booze and hookers things that guys (all two of them) from Apogee deserve.

[Altered Reality]

don't care about this game...
Neither do I... but only because I already have it for PC, I can already play it with the Xbox 360 joypad, and I can also play it in stereoscopic 3D, which would be impossible with an Xbox 360 port.

Well.....that's what Duke would have spent it on, so I support them *sheds a tear*

[BubbleZ]

Achievement list just came out today:

[MegaMustaine]

I'm ready to make a 200/200 thread right now. The achievements are cake. I thought there would be one for finding all of the nukes. Guess not.

[Duke's New Chainsaw]

Oh yeah! New DNF screenshots babibai!!! :cool:

[WarThrash]

Oh yeah! New DNF screenshots babibai!!! :cool:

what if the last 2 concept pics are of George & Scott sitting in court bored to death :hhg:

A bit dull on the achievement side... but still, nice.

:D I laughed to death...

[The Dukenator]

I posted that 3 hours earlier.

[BubbleZ]

Apparently Manhattan Project will be released on XBLA on June 16th :)

Also apologies to the Dukenator.:D

[The Dukenator]

Where's your source?

[BubbleZ]

Welllll, I'm know it's not 100% qualified source material, buuuuuut:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duke_Nukem:_Manhattan_Project#Xbox_Live_Arcade_Ver sion :dopefish:

(I swear to God, I did not write that description. But to be fair, I wouldn't be surprised if it did come out that day, as the Achievement tiles and Game Tab have been revealed)

[The Dukenator]

That's just a wild guess. Only 3D Realms can give an official date.

[BubbleZ]

From Wikipedia:

Xbox Live Arcade Version

The XBLA version will be released when its done.

Release date has not been revealed.

Was this posted by Dukenator? If so, kudos, because I personally didn't like it either when I later saw the date had no source file to prove it. My impulses got the better of me!:doh:

That said, would be really rad to see it on Jun. 16th!:p

[WarThrash]

"when it's done"? Oh god....

[MegaMustaine]

The game is DONE! We are just waiting for a release date. Being that there is an achievement list and MS has listed the game on their upcoming game list (http://www.xbox.com/en-US/games/calendar/default.htm), I don't think we have long to wait.

[WarThrash]

Nice man, although I noticed Joe Siegler put it up. I thought he was former 3DR staff, how'd he get his hands on the vid?

[Joe Siegler]

George is still a friend of mine, and he knows I posted that. I also edited your link in the first post to force a view of the HD version of the video. :)

[George Broussard]

Sup' bitches. Hang tight.

[WarThrash]

Sup guys, get ready for all the people to start looking too deeply into George's "hang tight" comment ;)

"George just said 'hang tight'! What does that mean? IT MUST BE DNF!!!"

"Oh my god you're RIGHT! SHOCK & AWE!"

"Hang Tight??? Duke Nukem Forever! He's telling us to hang on and wait for Duke at E3!"

*nerdgasms all over*

You mean like you?

[Bam050196]

There is a few people who actually say stuff like that :o

[WarThrash]

You mean like you?

Read most of my posts in the DNF section and you'll find I'm quite pessimistic when it comes to DNF's release, so no.

I was just wondering how you got your hands on the vid, I know it's not DNF related....at....ALL

[George Broussard]

Joe got it because I sent it to him to post on YouTube. He's helping me out.

[WarThrash]

I like to play this on PC with my 360 controller but there's no support to use the triggers to shoot with. So it'll be nice to finally be able to use them.

By the way, would there happen to be any new features exclusive to this version (similar to the gameplay rewind feature in Duke 3D) or is it more or less a straight port?

[George Broussard]

I'm really proud of the controls on the 360. They work extremely well and there are 2 layouts for people. This game should have always been on a console but it just didn't happen in 2002. We pushed pretty hard for it to be on PS2.

It plays really, really well on 360. Love it.

[Damien_Azreal]

EDIT: Nevermind, other comments hadn't been posted when I hit reply... :)

[Joe Siegler]

800 points.

[Steve]

I'm going to get all of the achievements before Joe


:cool:

[Damien_Azreal]

Yep.
I hit reply, then watched the trailer... then posted. :) So, George's post with the info wasn't up yet.

But, the 23rd... I guess I'll need to get me some points on LIVE by then.

[WarThrash]

Pity it's not on PS3 though. I always prefer 3rd person action platformers on the Playstation because of it's superior d-pad (the d-pad on the 360 is a piece of crap, face it) but it's still nice, nonetheless. I understand it's a little bit tougher to port things from PC to the Playstation

[George Broussard]

Please help us spread the word on this. Forums, Tweets, Facebook. It all helps. Let's give DNMP the second chance it deserves and bring it to a new audience who never experienced it.

There's no d-pad usage, so we dodge that bullet :) I agree, the 360 d-pad is lacking.

I've already posted about it on a couple forums. :) Plan to tell as many people as possible.

[Joe Siegler]

There's going to be a news story on the front page of the 3DR site at the top of the hour. You'll want to spread that, too.

[Damien_Azreal]

Can do. :)

[WarThrash]

Wow, first 3DR website update in, what, a year? Hope you guys get as much dough as you did with Duke 3D on XBLA. And please let there be another awesome Duke Gamerpic for completing the achievements :)

[Joe Siegler]

I don't know anything about that. I didn't work on this. All I'm doing is helping George out tonight with the Youtube video, and the story for the front page of the 3DR site. That's it.

[Damien_Azreal]

Yeah, some avatar awards like what they did for Doom 2 would be awesome.

[WarThrash]

Yeah, I was aiming the gamerpic part towards George. I still have my current Gamerpic set as the radioactive symbol for getting all of the achievements on Duke 3D :cool:

[Joe Siegler]

For awhile I had the one from Duke3D with the mighty foot. Had it until recently when I switched to one from Alan Wake.

[Joe Siegler]

http://www.3drealms.com/news/2010/06/duke_nukem_manhattan_project_xbla_announced.html

There are some cool Xbox LIVE awards and bonuses you can get with the full version of the game.

* Duke Nukem Logo T-Shirt (male and female). You can get this one pretty easily.
* Jetpack avatar award. You get this one if you finish the complete game.

List of achievements:

[MegaMustaine]

I cannot wait to have my Steven Seagal avatar wearing a Duke shirt and jetpack.

[WarThrash]

It's nice to see the avatar awards are earned in the game. I just can't see myself spending actual money on a virtual t-shirt for those little bastards

[Kray]

I never played the original version so this will be a new experience for me! Can't wait to sport my Duke Nukem shirt on my avatar as well :D.

[Commando Nukem]

Please help us spread the word on this. Forums, Tweets, Facebook. It all helps. Let's give DNMP the second chance it deserves and bring it to a new audience who never experienced it

You could try the PC version as its still available.

[KaiserSoze]

Oh yeah! Day 1 purchase for me! :cool:

[GrimWoman]

I need to get points for this so i can get it day 1 as well.

Incredible feeling to see a Duke trailer on Gametrailers!

[pjVgt]

Yep thats the news we were all waiting for - this summer shock and awesome indeed.

[marioman360]

I was going to buy Banjo Kazooie on XLBA this month, but i guess that'll have to wait...

[WoodenSword]

Pretty good trailer! Well done!

I also like the new 3d realms logo intro.

[The Dukenator]

Pretty good trailer! Well done!

I also like the new 3d realms logo intro.
They used that for Duke3D XBLA back in 2008.

[Phayzon]

This'll be a day 1 purchase for me. Need to get me some points though! :D

[Crkfiend]

DNF Screenshots in the gallery upon 200/200 anyone?

[WarThrash]

That'd be interesting now that we know the court case was settled almost a month ago. I wonder if they had time to squeeze a few screenies in?

[mental stampede]

I have one question. Are those of us with PS3s ever gonna get to kick some alien ass in a Duke game?

[chaosomega]

Wow duke manahatten project out already woweee it is the game i have been long awaiting for!!

[alexgk]

I go where I please, and I please where I go :cool:

[The Dukenator]

Its my way or...Hell its my way!

[WarThrash]

You must be 18 or older to ride!


*I have no idea why, but I laughed my ass off last time I heard that*

[JobivanHiob]

George about the port on FB:

me
so you ported it all alone George?! :P :D

George
No. Me and 2 guys. I didn't code or do art or anything, just worked the deal with MS and managed the proj.

wow, it seems it was easier as I have thought.

[Kristian Joensen]

So in other words, technically this is an internal project?

[JobivanHiob]

I wonder too. Wasn't there this woman at microsoft who said in her linkedin profile she worked on the game?!

[Mighty Boot]

Anyone else notice that Joe posted the news about DN:MP on the front page?

Bryan did the other two since the team was let go.

[WarThrash]

Yea Joe can still apparently post on the homepage. He was helping out GB.
