3DR is still selling the game.

[Micki!]

just for fun... i read that "lo Wang" joke by Kalki in this thread, and came to think of something rather amusing...

The street i live on, is called Højvang... "Høj" on Danish is the word for "high"
"vang" doesn't mean anything particularly... just something like a street name ala "avenue" or simply "street"

I guess it's obvious already, that i want to say, that my street sounds frightingly much like a Low Wang big Brother:
High Wang

I loved Shadow Warrior. Not as much as Duke. The attitude of Duke is what made it really fun.

Sadly Lo Wang is probably seen as a racial sterotype and as such won't be gracing a PC monitor again for quite a while.

That's not why. The fact that it was "insensitive" had nothing to do with it. Duke isn't exactly PC either.

Then what is the reason? If it's not top-secret, you could tell us.

joes not the person your going to get that info from check stats on a major game sights if they go back that far or maby a old GTinterative report to stock holders (that would be a incompleat listing but would give you some idea) but there is no reason that 3DR would releace stats on what game sold better then others

Well enough. The conventional wisdom said this game was a failure and bombed. That is incorrect. Did it sell as much as Duke Nukem 3D did? No of course it didn't, but that doesn't automatically mean "failure" or "bad seller", although the zealots online will tell you that.

Want numbers? Sorry, not everything is info meant for the public you know. We are, after all, a privately held company. We're not obligated to say anything.

btw Is it true that Duke 3D was the top selling game of 1996?

[Scarred Bushido]

[John]

You won't ever see a Shadow Warrior 2.

[infowars]

WHY not? Dont say that! noooooooooo.

[hiob]

I loved the game, still do, but I don't really need a second part, let it stay a classic.

There was no real level over level improvement in SW, it was a trick. for example, if you look at a lower room you look at kind of mirror-texture which shows that room like the display of a monitor. it was really hard to make a level with that room-over-room feature, i always had problems with that feature in build.

but hey, lo wang is not dead! just take a look at the download section and get the wanton destruction addon, it works fine with the actual win32 port (start with the ".../sw.exe /g gt.grp" commandline, chose the code of honor and not the shareware episode and have fun!) ...well, the levels gonna have the wrong names, but what you gonna play are the WD levels, so who cares about the names and best-times?

Yes, you WILL meet Zilla again - in the Wanton Destruction expansion.

[Scarred Bushido]

Yeah, he's the final boss of the expansion, but you kick his ass for good - we won't see him again.

[Scarred Bushido]

yeh dosnt even work for me wanton destruciton but when i dont use the jfsw port wanton destruciton works just no sound

[The Puppet Master]

Did anyone ever think that the reason they aren't going to make another Shadow Warrior is because Scott and George simply don't want to?

[Mayur]

No sequel, no mods

RIP Lo Wang

The sword and Shurinken weapons were truly amazing!

[dan2091]

But but, 3D Realms can't do that, if they don't mean to do a SW game because they feel ashame of it at least they can create a new label called Shadow Wizards, in which they do games as Shadow Warrior, and s remake of this other build game named Seven Paladines. Ha, ha! they at least should try one more with classics as SW, BioMenace and much others that seems cool to me and many others.

[Scarred Bushido]

lmfao houcs pocus with a new graphics engine that be funny as

{cue Lonely Man Theme}

why exactly does george not like lo wang?

[WarHammer]

Although I prefer Duke Nukem over Lo Wang in terms of character, I actually enjoyed Shadow Warrior more than Duke Nukem 3D. If, by some miracle, a sequel to Shadow Warrior were ever to be made I would wholeheartedly support it via my wallet.

[Scarred Bushido]

3d relams reminds me of rockstar cuz there funny and they make cool games so who knos if shadow warrior will come again if u want my opion i want other shadow warrior lol

i find that really lame! i mean, come on! the games ancient!
they should take it as free advertising like Lucas Arts does. (they allow starwars based mods, and encourage it!)
it aggravated me to see 3drealms shut down the duke nukem mod for hl2. IT WAS JUST THE FLIPPING SHAREWARE! NOT LIKE ANYTHING FROM THE ANCIENT RETAIL IS BEING RE MADE!
SHEESH!

they should take it as a compliment, not OMG! THEIR INFRINGING ON OUR PROPERTY, MUST KILL!

[Dopefish7590]

must kill............. ANTS!!! (ADOI aka: ainceint domains of insanity)

click spoiler for cut area of ant killing

Spoiler:

show spoiler

Dayn: *steps into room dragging a pile of potions with him on a makeshift cart*

Ant: Skree... skree?

Dayn: Ahahahaha... it.... is....... OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNN!!

*Dayn begins rotating his arms and throwing potions of blindness and deafness rapid-fire at the ants*

Ants: SKREE! *ants start bumping into each other and skreeing in confusion as they are blinded and deafened one by one*

Dayn: Ah, that should be good. Any of them not deafened and blind will be trapped behind all the other ones that are as they all bump into each other.

*Giant Ant Warriors jump over the blind and deaf ant workers wielding sticks like ninjas*

Dayn: Damn. *once again starts throwing potions rapid-fire*

*Giant ant warriors defend against the potions, smashing them before they can shatter with their sticks*

Dayn: Ohkayy... well. This isn't good.

Giant Ant Warriors: SKA-REEEEEE!

Dayn: <_< This sucks... oh well. Now onto phase 2a of my plan... RUN LIKE HELL! *runs*

*later*


Dayn: Okay, finally. My hide is safe and they are NOW all FINALLY blind and deaf. Now for the original Phase 2... *Slowly and menacingly pulls out a large ration and a strange item* muwahahahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *wades forward into crowd of ants* Hey, don't bite that. OW! DON'T STEP ON MY ANKLE! Bloody ants.

*later*

Dayn: Okay, I have reached the center of the blind and deaf swarm of ants. Now... *zaps a wand of darkness*

Ants: SK... SKRE?!!

Dayn: Wait, how can they tell if it's dark if they're blind? Ah well. ONTO THE SLAUGHTERING!

*blugeoning sounds, rending chitin, murderous laughter, and pained skrees intermingled in a cataectophony as horror music plays*

*later*

Dayn: MUWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *more rending chitin*

Travis: ... Dayn? You here? It's so dark in here...

Dayn: Oh, hi Travis. *walks out of the darkness holding bloody large ration and bloody strange item in bloody armor covered in blood and grinning ear to ear*

Travis: Should I be scared?

Dayn: Only if the idea of murdering ants is scary, which it isn't, but rather more righteous and so, so fulfilling ^.^

Travis: Are you sure you're not chaotic?

Dayn: Only when ants are involved.

Ssraxx: And you call chaotics crazy...

Dayn: Yes, I do...

Onn: Wait, they aren't supposed to hear us...

Travis: well, we do...

Istaria: WOULD YOU TWO STOP PLAYING WITH THE HUMANS AND PLAY THE DAMNED GAME!?

Onn and Ssraxx: Sorry!

Dayn: Anyway. Oh look, I missed a couple. Excuse me. *steps back into the darkness*

Travis: ...

*murderous howls, rending chitin, and pained, horrified skrees*

Travis: >_>

Dayn: *murderous laughter*

Travis: <_< f*** this, I'm outta here...

Dayn: COME HERE, LITTLE ANTIES! I'VE GOT A PRESENT FOR YA! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

*later*

Dayn: AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I'M THE ALPHAMALE OF THE ANTIANTS! TO ME, MY BROTHERS!

*mehnwhile*

Gelatinous Cube: Blurg v_v *jiggles away*

Travis: Hm. I wonder if that thing tastes like Jell-o... oh well. I wanna get the heck out of this place. Wait, is that... a staircase leading down? ... ah well, the more distance I gain from Dayn the ant-killing psychopath the better.

*ants run by, followed by an insanely screaming Dayn covered in ant blood and hefting his bloody golden sword*

Travis: Okay... decending NOW.

*later*

Dayn: *emerges, quite bloody, from the Small Cave* Whew. Ant-killing mayhem ^.^ I wonder where Travis is... ah well, he fled in the face of some damn fine ant-murdering. Not my fault. While I wait for his return, what can I do? Hmmmm... hey, is that a pyramid over there?

anywhoo, i see why they protect the game. unlike lucas arts: they dont have very recent games and that is one of their best so far and is still being sold.

but i still dont understand why they dont want the free advertising

[Bonesnapper]

Wow this thread really has some noobs in it.

Anyways, I'd love to see a Shadow Warrior 2, even if it'd never happen. Blood 3 wont ever happen either.
