Well, I'm not gonna wait through 43 minutes of crap to hear somebody talk smack about DNF. I can read smack about it here instantly, without the wiat.

Seriously, I don't give a rats ass what anybody says about DNF, I know it's gonna kick ass. They can all go to hell.

Wait?

You can't skip to it?

The point is, I don't give enough of a rat's ass about it to even click on the link. So what somebody talked shit about DNF. Like that hasn't been done before.

I know you were expecting Ohh's and Ahh's and OMG!!'s but so what?

I've heard enough people badmouth 3DR and DNF for a thousand lifetimes. One more fruity ass comment by a so called "Video Game reporter" doesn't mean jack shit to me.

It's all about the game. Besides, it doesn't matter what they say, as long as they spell DNF right.

[Magnamuz]

I think this WID thing and other "disappointed" expectations for the past E3s made an untrusting point of view to the videogame press, I've read it too many times and I'm sick of it.

We may not have proofs that DNF is gonna kick ass, but at least we know that so much preparation and modifications are for the best, and not for "It's ganna suck", that's too much assuming compared to our hope.
I'll be expecting their review on the game.

[Geo-King]

Remember there is a big part of this gaming generation that did not grow up playing DN3D so they won’t even know what to expect let alone give DNF a chance WID. Game Radio has about 1000 listeners, maybe more. Don’t you think it’s a good idea to at least let them know that there are some people out there that still think it will be good FPS? In the end I understand that the game will have to speak for its self. However in my book, kicking someone when their down (when you’re considered the press) just isn’t cool.

You must feel somewhat similar or you wouldn’t have posted.

[Magnamuz]

somewhat similar?

I gave up my savings on the instant they released de Kill-A-Ton edition and I didn't play no other game for a long time, I even had the cover of the box as a poster...some how depressing but it was to express my gratitude for those terrific games, and that's the part that this G4 guys hurt.

I did't realised the middle generation that have not felt Duke Nukem as the older ones....good for them if they are anxious as mine. Thanks man (not gay )

Someone talking 'smack' about DNF, whether it's a presenter of a computer games television show or someone important, has absolutley no effect on the end result of DNF. It'll be awesome..or it'll suck (theres a 1 in a billion chance of it being the second one).

He's not trying to have an impact on the final result, however he's just a fan that has waited for too many years and that has changed his pain into a "DNF will suck" atitude.

Yeah, those are the weaker people in our society, unfortunately they still exist. But the release of DNF will cure them for sure.

[Mennuz]

Talking smack about DNF is easy to do.
A lot of people think i'm insane that i still believe duke is coming out. "Wasn't it cancelled?" "Its gonna suck because they had a lot of development time, just like Daikatana"
They don't no jack p00. Nor do i, but i know it has up to date graphics, a D3D feel, and offcourse, Duke Nukem. They can talk smack, but when its coming out, it will kick mayor rectum. 3dRealms just can't put it on the market when it sucks. We will have a kick ass game.3dR doesn't want anything else.
Those Radio reporters just want to have some airheads to laugh about DNF.

[Ivan]

Talking smack is the easiest thing to do (period)

[KaiserSoze]

3dr will let DNF do the talking for them.

Probably the worst channel on television. Those ****s got rid of TechTV.

They merged with tech tv for popularity in a hostile take-over, they eventualy got rid of ALL of the original tech tv shows ( except for robot wars/x-play, maybe more ) G4 is horrible and an insult to gaming, only thing i every watch on that channel is x-play simply becuase i like their reviews. But seriously, what would the publics view be if adam or morgan PRAISED dnf ? the friggin game has litteraly been in production now for 10 years, if you dont count the restarts anyway. im starting to give up hope of it ever comming out

[Fuzzy Bunny]

ROFLMAOSMOMN......


4 years? now is that from now (hides next part from joe) which would put the release date at 2009...

Well the inca calander does end at 2009 which most ppl interpret as being when the world will end.

Personally I would like to play DNF before Hell freezes over.

Bet they buy it when it comes out

Balgias, DNF has been in development for not more than about 8 years.
Ten years would mean that 3DR must have worked on DNF before DN3D was even done
They actually started sometime in summer/fall 1997 AFAIK when they got the Quake2-Code from id.
We will see it very soon and it will come out.

[chitown]

Hey George, where are we at right now with DNF?

>Pre-Alpha
>Alpha
<font color="blue">></font>Beta
>Pre-Final
>Gold

[FireFly]

Don't expect an answer on that, but George has basically said that they're pre-alpha, although some parts of the game are in a beta state.

They received the Quake 2-Code form Id in Mid December 97, but there is Chritmas and stuff so work started in Januray 1998, research started in early 1997.

[FireFly]

And it was just research, because they had no programmers.

[X-Vector]

You've all gotten it wrong guys, the whole period from '97 to '02/'03 was research; DNF has only been in actual development for a couple of years and is therefore not 'late' by any stretch of the imagination.

[FireFly]

Well I'd classify that as 'accidental research'.

Yes, you are actually correct about that, but that is just how it turned out AFTER the fact, my point was that they DIDN'T intend to ship the 97 version, but they DID intend to ship the versions in the period 97-02. Btw, the they restarted tech wise in early 2002 and the render was finished in November 2002, serious content creation on this version started in January 2003. That is soon 3 years ago.

You mean that they already waited for an engine-switch to unreal while they were working with quake2-code ?
well, they didn`t work very long on the first build but has somebody confirmed that ?

[Kristian Joensen]

"You mean that they already waited for an engine-switch to unreal while they were working with quake2-code ?"

No they wheren't working with Quake 2 tech in 1997 but with Quake 1 tech and yes they WHERE waiting for Quake 2 tech.

[The Count]

I mixed up Quake1 with Quake2.
But was there ever really a build based on quake1-code at all ?
I thought George or Joe once said that they were only messin`around with q1-code without really building anything..
The first actual build probably was done in early 1998 and the E3-98-trailer was based upon it

[Kristian Joensen]

Sure they messed around with it, they had a couple of models and stuff and I am sure they wrote some code. But you are rigth it was just them messing around.

43:03 minutes into EP102 of Game Radio the hosts start talking smack about DNF. I think we should e-mail them and tell them what we think about that.

Who cares about a bunch of commercialist teeny-boppers anyway?

One guy said: Slime-ier = more slime.
The other one said: That's most likely what we are all waiting for here, my dear Wunsch

[X-Vector]

Schleimer means "asskisser", not "slimier".

"Das ist wohl der Wunsch von allen hier" = "that's what everyone here wishes for" (-> one hell of a game).

Yup..!
The above sentence must've been made by a babelfish..!

[Mr. Milton]

Babel fish translates it to:
"That is probably the desire of all here"

I was just trying to be funny. I thought that would be obvious.

Not matter how much crap we talk about the game we'll buy it ;-) Some of us are just getting aggivated, and therefor we talk crap once in a while when we have nothing better to discuss

Somebody lied to me then

[Kristian Joensen]

Who and what did he/she say ?

[George Broussard]

I love a little good old fashioned smack talk. Carry on G4.
