Reality is our game poll

ultra tree 85! · 11-05-2005, 07:47 PM

A long time ago, 3D Realms used to have Reality is our game written under their 3D Realms logo. Would you like them to have this slogan in DNF?

Yatta · 11-05-2005, 08:18 PM

No, because they are using the Unreal engine. There'd be a strong contradiction there.

Sayantan · 11-05-2005, 09:18 PM

No, coz the concept of Duke and it's environment isn't completely realistic. The hapennings obviously sounds fictitous.

LOL.

Mr.Sociopath · 11-05-2005, 09:23 PM

yes , because the duke nukem concept is completely realistic, so must be the game

George Broussard · 11-06-2005, 04:22 AM

I always liked that slogan.

Lucky Boy · 11-06-2005, 04:47 AM

The slogan is not bad

Micki! · 11-06-2005, 05:43 AM

I like that old slogan...
But i always wondered if it was refering to gameplay, or graphics..!
Could anyone from 3DR's staff answer this..?

Cerberus_e · 11-06-2005, 05:45 AM

while that slogan comes on the screen, the apogee fanfare song should play

X-Vector · 11-06-2005, 06:29 AM

No, because the Duke figure that 3DR is known for is a "larger-than-life" parodical character that doesn't fit the slogan at all.

"Reality is our game" would be suitable for a company that develops simulation games a la Falcon IV and Flight Simulator.

That is why i asked the above question...
But i still like the slogan itself...

Maybe they should remake it.. with guitars.
But this is 3DR, not Apogee :P (yeah it's part of Apogee but still)

Kristian Joensen · 11-06-2005, 06:39 AM

Actually it is more than part of Apogee, it is just another name for Apogee, the legal name is still Apogee Software, Ltd. They have 3D Realms Entertainment, Ltd set up as a so called, d/b/a (Doing Business As).

Doesn't really matter, because the graphics should fit the gameplay.

True...
So only the gameplay remains...
Unless if you see it from this perspective:
3DRealm = 3D = reality...
So the name itself makes this slogan fitting... Without refering to anything specific... (other than the name that is)

3D Realms did ship Terminal Velocity, which was a flight game.

I would like to see the slogan return in DNF. The game will have the real-life location of Vegas and realistic graphics, after all.

Falciform · 11-06-2005, 12:43 PM

Duke is reality with a grain of salt. I mean, sure, aliens and mutated cops and a badass that can take multiple shotgun blasts isn't "reality," but the environments they're set in are made to be as close as possible. Isn't that where the whole "interactivity" part comes in? Personally, I always enjoyed the somewhat futuristic inner city feel of the first chapter in DN3D more than the other two chapters.

Assault · 11-06-2005, 01:28 PM

Sounds "Old". When the first 5 or so years of 3D games, there were a lot of "reality" slogans around. It just sounds old.

FireFly · 11-06-2005, 01:40 PM

I agree. It sounds like a hangover from the early '90s.

No way. 3D Realms sounds like some sort of futuristic realm of 3Dness, damn you!

The name 3D Realms Rules.

It's a very, very cool name.

Yes, but I still think it would look more modern if the new 3D Realms logo was displayed on its own, without the slogan.

tpz · 11-06-2005, 06:47 PM

I always liked that line. They should use it again sometime in my opinion.

Sayantan · 11-06-2005, 09:58 PM

The word "3dRealms" roxx bigtime. That said.

"New 3D Realms logo"? I hope they won't change current logo. It's too great to change it.

YicklePigeon · 11-07-2005, 03:33 AM

The "Reality is our game" slogan should fade in under the 3DR logo...then slowly "(un)" should appear like this:-

Fade in: Reality Is Our Game
Fade in: (un)
So it looks like: (un)Reality Is Our Game

Regards,

Yickle.

hell-angel · 11-07-2005, 05:31 AM

It's a cool slogan, not very suited for DNF but then again, who says they are refering to gameplay and not just to graphics.

Nice idea.

but un should be in small letters then thoug.

trackit · 11-07-2005, 06:50 AM

3D realms is cool, reality is our game is cool. no hangover feeling for me

and besides. usually people dont think about the meaning of the names too much... its just some name that you are used to and it dont sound strange at all.

think about microsoft for example

Everything about 3DRealms is old if you look at it that way, look at the release date of Duke Nukem 3D.
That doesn't mean they change everthing because they work over 10(+) years on a game.

I don't think the slogan refers to, or is supposed to indicate, the level of realism in their games. Still, X-Vector has a point.

Same here. Keep it in.

It's one of those phrases unique to 3DRealms.
It's also a witty play on words, yet it is short and simple.

11-07-2005, 06:15 PM

I always sort of thought that "Reality is our game" could mean that actual real life reality is just a temporary "game" to the 3DR staff, since making and playing games in 3D worlds (or realms) is, in fact, 3DR's reality, since they do that stuff for a living all the time.

Understand?

Kristian Joensen · 11-07-2005, 06:22 PM

Bingo, you hit the nail on the head.
