I didn't know that this was an RPG.

I thought it was a kick ass FPS . not playing house, and kitchen .

Dude, you totally have to be able to pick your nose! Man, with full body awareness and everything it'll be so cooool! You'll be able to inspect your finger afterwards and flick the boogers. Boogers will regenerate after a certain amount of time...


You know, interactivity in a game needs to have its limits.

A blow torch

- Makes a good light source
- Would look cool having a flame gushing out of a nozel
- Could burn enemie's eyes so they stand their squirming and shooting blindly
- Would make a nice original weapon to complement duke's foot.

[hark]

The blow torch in No One Lives Forever was cool.

[JonathanCasey]

Darn, its already been done before?

I just had a look at "no one lives forever". What on earth is that? I've never heard of it before. Looks random, is it a majour game or a mod or some small developer's pet project? - sorry if thats a little off-topic.

[moggimus]

It's a full retail game, and a good one. It also has a sequel.

[Micki!]

It's an old funny game, i love the sequel to NOLF... Beartraps, bananas, haha... Silly stuff...

AVP2 also had a bow torch...

[Antikorper]

Using hairspray as a small flamer - now that is interactivity!

[Baff1]

I'd like to see Duke use the Shrinker Ray on Godzilla and then battle him in a model village or maybe even Legoland.

Eiffel Tower! CRUSH!
The White House! CRUSH!
MacDonalds! STOMP!

And then up the Lego Empire State Building to swat Lego bi-planes.

[Monkey Butler]

Or even go the other way round - have an expander ray thing that makes Duke giant for a level/boss battle and he ends up trashing most of the city.

[razgriz]

^^^Love those last two ideas.

[Joel]

Taking a fire hose or extinguisher from the wall and using it as a weapon.

So what I'm wondering is: Do you think that Duke will be effected by the environment he is in? For example: He is running in dirt and it starts raining and if he keeps running he will slip and fall. Or for usage: If his health is low he can pick plants and eat them to gain back his health

seriously? when have u ever seen in real life, a movie or in a game when someone gets shot, they turn to the nearest shrubbery and start munching, if a soldier came up with that idea im sure he wud be a casualty of friendly fire.

[Duke's New Chainsaw]

When have you seen someone shoot a toilet or a fire hydrant to break it and then start drinking the water for health?

or...smoke

[Antikorper]

i want alot of stuff in the environment that can be used to kill the enemy - like dropping the roof on top of an enemy

Some soldiers do get herbalism training, but it's not quite that effective. The training is about survival if trapped in enemy-occupied territory, so it's really about food, water and shelter.

It's stuck in my mind from an autobiography. The trainer was an elderly woman. So you'd have a group of soldiers, all young men, gathered round an old woman in the open land and learning from her. Wind back the clock 10,000 years and get the same thing - warriors of the tribe learning from the wisewoman.

Although grazing at the rhododendrons won't instaheal a hole through your leg

Having said that, most healing mechanisms in games, and most damage ones come to that, are wildly unrealistic. You can't really get shot three times in the legs, carry on as normal and be completely healed by a first aid kit. Crouching behind a crate won't result in near-fatal wounds completely healing in a few minutes. So why not use plants?

[Psyrgery]

You will be able to shoot mice and cook them in Microwaves... Too bad it will nuke'm, instead of cooking 'em.

[Betelgeuse]

as long as the game has good playability, everything will be fine.

[Baystream]

As long as you can use the toilet I am happy

It's not that often in movies but somtimes in games. Werent there plants in unreal? And Heavy Metal FAKK2 had plants too.
But we all know Duke only eats fast food to gain health. And there are not too many plants in the desert or in space.

And he never slips and falls!!!

Unless the fight takes place on an ice rink....

Like the American Football Boss only the Ice Hockey Boss instead.

Somehow i cant see this as a functional idea. How about a crater on Mars or some other planet with thick ice covering the whole crater.

...Ay!

[hark]

It'd be cool if Duke Nukem Forever had something like GeoMod (see Red Faction). That sort of technology seems to match the destruction element of the Duke Nukem series.
