How true! Yes, lots of things are moving along. Crates, barrels, palettes, containers...

This talk of forklifts has me thinking. I wonder how many drivable vehicles there are in DNF. I mean, with the super interactive environment they're aiming for, we'd be likely to run into a wide array of Human and alien vehicles throughout the game. I wonder if we can operate all of them or not.

Just to point it out to people who claim there is no info at all that info is not always clearly spelled out. Speculative? Yes. Unsurprising? Maybe. Reassuring? No doubt.

Joe needs something to do too, you know?

You speak the truth. This place is gaming's equivalent to a desert island (and I we just got some seaweed so "Pina Colodas" and "lobster" for everyone).

Back to the important stuff, will it have telescopic handling or will it be a common counterbalanced forklift?

Oh, I think he reads here on a daily basis. Posting not so much.

[81 Z28]

That was a joke.

[81 Z28]

Well this may come as a shock, but, we believe you 3DR! So now what? How about a real story? They should have told the shack guys WID just like everyone else because this is just stupid.

I mean I love you 3DR but seriously WTF is this supposed to be?

I don't know - ask Shack. It's their story, not ours.

[RAW]

Something you'll definitely want to read. It's available at Shacknews
Joe please explain this.

[JobivanHiob]

maybe its pathetic but this time it's realy not 3D Realms "fault".

I don't understand. Honestly - what's the problem here?

Also, saw this post over at Shacknews by George..

Sadly, I asked about dognose too, but Maarten said he had to work till 8pm that Friday.

So they came over and we checked out some stuff and out of the blue I just decided to show them DNF for about an hour. We ran through a couple of maps and chatted about stuff and we asked for some feedback. It was pretty unofficial and off the cuff and just done because I've known the guys for a long time and they were local, and what the ****. They are being secretive/light on info because of obvious reasons, but just wanted to post and say "hey, we saw it and it's real".

[Rider]

Ah awesome!

Reassurance is great, and this tidbit does just that! Excitement is contagious

This thread just proves that any release of any info about DNF will destroy the universe.
First the fans will set the internet on fire and then their growing need and desire for the game will create a supermassive-blackhole the size of Duke's ego.

It will rock.

Forklift!

[Steve]

Nice. Heh... Marty's fan art is on the front page of shack

[Micki!]

I made a Duke4.net news item of this...
http://www.duke4.net/news.php?extend.186.2
There's absolutely nothing new there other than me making a few comments and quotes though, just saying

And yeah, Marty's artwork is great

[froggerdonkey]

I can't help but get the impression that 3dr were hoping for some kind of praise for this, and it appears to be almost a backlash! cant say im surprised but what the hell. The article is causing a stir so I guess any publicity is good in their opinion.

[RAW]

Well i think someone must have been sayin forever wasnt real , you know in the recent past and this was a way to show other wise

[Damien_Azreal]

You reading to much into this.

It's not the first time George has done stuff like this for friends from Shacknews. Just take it for what it is and let it go.

[JobivanHiob]

anything about DNF will cause a stir. Even a poop.
And why because its DNF. D U K E N U K E M F O R E V E R
The King of FPS!

[RAW]

Yeah thats probably true too

[peoplessi]

That quote from George kinda covers my question I really had no doubts about DNF in the first place, so this didn't have a big "wow factor" to it. I hope work on the trailer is moving along nicely.

BUT why now? Why not before, as the visit happened few weeks ago?

[Betelgeuse]

that's awesome, better than nothin imo, a microscopic crumb will do. stay tuned.

Maybe it took time for them to get permission from 3DR to post even this, and who knows, maybe 3DR had to approve of the blurbs content first. That's assuming some form of NDA was in place.

[Kennerado]

alright, gibs!

That's how I reasoned it, but such actions, as NDA's, are signed before seeing the game I'd suppose. That shouldn't really delay anything, but if the NDA had some sort of waiting period, that could explain it, but still - why would it have it? It's not like the article revealed much nothing?

Who knows. 3DR might've just wanted to review the content of their blurb to ensure it didn't say anything they didn't want revealed.

Or they could've just taken their sweet time in posting it... who knows.

[81 Z28]

maybe this is the start of more info to come. this is just a started story.

Stay Tuned...

We didn't have anything to do with this story - it was all Shack's deal.

[steauengeglase]

But we still have no true forklift confirmation. For all we know Gibson and Goldstein were both on psychotropic drugs at the time. OK, we can't prove that Gibson and Goldstein were on mind altering drugs, but it has been confirmed by an unnamed source. Also we are unable to corroborate their story at this time.

We have only a confirmation of the existence of two levels, two levels, folks, but we cannot say at this time that if the two levels will peaceably exit the building. Also we cannot confirm it at this time but we believe that these two levels have "completed weapons". We do not know what these weapons may be, but they could be harboring assault rifles, pistols, shrink rays, chainsaws and weapons of mass destruction.

Any idea of where these levels could have gotten these alleged weapons? No. OK.

Um, we have attempted to contact Interim Police Chief, Mitch Bates of Grapevine, TX, but he has given no official statement at this time. When we get new information we will keep you posted. So please stay tuned for more coverage of this horrific event.

Stay Tuned...

well I'm tuned since the teaser 4 months ago. And it isn't the started story. That was the interview with Tramell Issac in end of January and he also said more DNF media soon.

[rockmanekuzu8]

OK OK, this is all cool but there's not much news in it for us?! Those guys are focking lucky they got to see it and not reveal anything else to anybody!! Not even a screenshot or story analysis for DNF... Well it's great to know we got some DNF news finally. So one more question will we see the Trailer this year? I hope because I'm Staying Tuned as always...

[JobivanHiob]

the famous rockman haha!
a trailer this year? If not I would seriously be worried.

[IwantMORE]

Another day closer to getting to play it.
