how would you like DNF being revealed?

JobivanHiob · 04-18-2010, 05:56 PM

imagine this situation:

-DNF being ready to be shown in public
-DNF being only a few months away from being done

QUESTION: in what way should it be shown to the public?

-via a press release? If yes how should it be written?

-via a trailer with a release date at the end? If yes how this one could look like?

-via some viral marketing? if yes how this one could look like?

-via screenshots? I don't want screenshots, I want moving pictures!

-in a different way?

QUESTION: in what way should our opinions posted here matter at all?

JobivanHiob · 04-18-2010, 06:49 PM

game magazine premiere...hmm I like that!

PC Gamer, Gameinformer ? What is it?

ZuljinRaynor · 04-18-2010, 06:55 PM

None. All magazine practically suck now.

They don't. Nobody ever said they did. So what is your point?

SS202 · 04-18-2010, 08:27 PM

trailer and a demo. i wanna just go on the net one day and have them smack me in the face with the news it was done, here's a demo and a trailer. no big lead up, no magazine exclusives, no cock teasing of any sorts.

KaiserSoze · 04-18-2010, 08:31 PM

"It's done!" on the main webpage for 3drealms. Tis all
you need.

Duke's New Chainsaw · 04-18-2010, 08:33 PM

That already happened...

I thought DNF already was revealed?

It's just not finished or released.

Rösti · 04-19-2010, 04:02 AM

Via the temporary closure of these forums to be replaced by a countdown on the main page dating to June 15, hence a great reveal at E3. George & Co will be there and there will be an epic trailer and playable demo.

yeah, then we have something to actually count down too...

And everyday a longer version of grabbag tune...

Altered Reality · 04-19-2010, 05:40 AM

A playable demo, released BEFORE the full game, just like it was done with Prey.

Pretty much this. Maybe hire some folks to do viral marketing by placing glow-in-the-dark nuke logos around the US and Europe. With the tagline "...The Wait is Over..."

Haravikk · 04-19-2010, 06:52 AM

I want George to deliver my copy to my door and apologise for taking so long, then let me whoop him at multiplayer for a few hours before he goes and delivers the next one!

04-19-2010, 08:40 AM

I would like it to fall out of my cereal box in the morning.

JobivanHiob · 04-19-2010, 08:47 AM

WHAT i definitely want to see is a trailer with a release date first! And this release date should be max. 6 months off.

Sabarasa · 04-19-2010, 09:54 AM

It should be revealed just like Starcraft 2 was...in front of a crazy audience.

Michael-2792 · 04-19-2010, 10:42 AM

Advertising on TV through a new teaser.

Justyce · 04-19-2010, 11:34 AM

How to release DNF???
-
It's a big job so time to bring out the BIG guns! no pre-release anything - hit everyone in the industry by complete surprise!
-
1st re-negotiate with T2, they can do distribution but the promotion of DNF gets split between two companies that will perform the bulk of the marketing.
-
Here's the deal, F' it I think it would ROCK.
-
WWE handles DNF launch party, merchandising, promotional material, advertising/etc. - Why - Well who the F! else is big enough and balsy enough to handle Duke???
-
WWE entertainment during a major WWE PPV special (Wrestlemania/Summer Slam, etc...) handles the introduction of a 'Duke" wrestler (don't really care anymore which wrestler) that saves WWE divas from ...(who cares)... Who else would love to see Duke kick ass/chew gum in a WWE ring and handing those hot WWE Divas $$$.

Megadeth plays live to intro wrestler with 'grabbag' theme.

WWE launches TV advertising for DNF game, promotes DNF during WWE shows and produces DNF live videos of "Duke" wrestler with WWE divas. WWE handles Duke merchandising (t-shirts, posters, etc...). WWE entertainment takes over Duke movie rights and pumps out a Duke movie (Same team that made The Marine)

WWE gets low cut of DNF game sales but a higher cut of Duke merchandising/movie sales, WWE benefits with higher show ratings due to Duke wrestler.
-
Gene Simmons (duh from Kiss) handles the production of the DNF soundtrack, music selection, music videos, distribution of DNF CD's to music retailers, etc... Gene gets a low cut of DNF game sales, but a higher cut from music royalties and CD sales. Why Gene Simmons??? Well who the F! else has the same DUKE attitude and connections in the music business than Gene (hell even Donald Trump praises him for his music industry power)?
-
DNF available in major on-line shops and physical retail stores (none of that Wallmart/Gamestop/Steam exclusive BS!!!)
-
All parties involved hold back anything on websites/twitter/etc... until the second Duke appears on WWE program, then all flips websites/twitter feeds/etc.. to full-blown Duke-fest, nothing else on sites but DUKE!!!

Of course the typical viral on-line promos - youtube/etc/banner ads/flood google ads/full page ads in Gaming magazines, post DNF shareware version EVERYWHERE for download, game sites, software sites, 3DR, Duke forums, even torrent sites!! Let the Internet crash under the weight of the downloads!!!

SN Hunterkiller · 04-19-2010, 12:17 PM

It should be revealed by nuking North Korea and Iran before they know it or can do anything about it. Every country can participate :]

Justyce · 04-19-2010, 12:25 PM

Every member of this forum should be sent $1000 to be used at the stripper bar of their choice to celebrate DNF!

Can I use the $1000 towards a better computer? I don't think this G3 400MHZ iMac will play DNF, plus boobies scare me.

I was being sarcastic, rugmunch. Maybe if you would stop fapping to sweaty grappling men for like 3 minutes you could not only learn what sarcasm is, but also how to properly use an IMG tag.

And no, no one will believe your "I was being sarcastic too" bullshit, so don't even try.

You can go back to your wrasslin' now, Bubba.

Valdsator · 04-19-2010, 02:43 PM

During E3, while everyone is playing demos of upcoming games, all the screens and lights shut down.

And then...
On every screen, a new DNF trailer (with a release date at the end) begins playing.

I bet it would piss people off.

Haha, that would be awesome but the Japanese companies like Nintendo (especially Nintendo since they wouldn't even get a console port of DNF) would bitch and moan and just never go for it in the first place.

Justyce · 04-19-2010, 03:06 PM

If Duke is going to reveal himself...I would rather not see it.
Maybe a few of the ladies on this forum will and maybe a couple of the guys, but count me out.
