So there you have it, 3D Realms sounds interesting in getting their game on Live, but Microsoft is booked and not exactly beating down their doors.

Don'cha just love how anything said on this forum is suddenly "breaking news"?

And what careful examination of the facts did you do to arrive at that conclusion? I never said anything of the sort.

No, that's most definitely not me. While it's very well known I detest online petitions because they never EVER have any kind of effect, I wouldn't go onto one and say anything like that.

There's been several stories online based on my remarks in this thread. Kind of surprising, I didn't think what I said was anything special.

Obviously your word is worth something... At least the Xbox Live Arcade team will likely know now that you're up for allowing them to bring it over. Have you guys been getting any emails from these gaming news groups asking more in-depth questions or are they content with the information in this thread?

avatar_58 · 10-07-2006, 05:47 AM

The hell? Some news websites really like to stretch quotes don't they?

I don't think anything Joe's said is newsworthy, must have been slow news days.

I'm 146, 147, 148, 149, 150, 151, 152, 153, 154, 155, 156 and 157.

Yes, I know these petitions aren't worth shit, and I signed multiple times with absurd names just to prove that point.

Niche · 10-07-2006, 03:59 PM

GOOD LORD and FFS, for the last time, I created the petition just to get the subject more popular. I know that if Microsoft was swayed to port the game it would be because they've noticed a large demand for it, not the petition... please stop stating the obvious, we know.

I was one of the few people who enjoyed Tekwar, but I don't think that it (or most of the other Build engine games aside from Duke Nukem 3D) would be worth porting to XBLA. I think that Microsoft is only interested in bringing classic games like Doom and Duke Nukem 3D to XBLA.

Don't count on it. Here's another small tidbit most people aren't aware of. MS has set an upper limit to size of a game on XBLA. If you're over that size, you don't get on. That size is 50Mb, of which Duke3D's grp file is either at that, or already over it, so some work would have to be done to make it fit.

This is part of what I said above about "it's not as easy as here's teh code, put it online now."

alexgk · 10-09-2006, 03:24 PM

Geez, these are not good news. DNF is 3DR's highest priority. So, it'll take some time (not much I wish).

My .GRP (Atomic Edition) is about 43 MB.

Joe Siegler · 10-09-2006, 06:46 PM

Hmmm.. I thought it was 48. Still, it'll be a tight squeeze.

Yeah, that's the size of the GRP file on my Atomic disk. I just rounded up

Yeah, it will be a tight squeeze. But, GRP plus CON files is below 50 MB.

The CONs are in the GRP

So, the GRP plus the executable(or whatever it is on an X360) and config file (if you can remap keys).

I'd be in heaven if both Duke Nukem 3D and Rise of the Triad were added to the Xbox Live Arcade Library. I still have good memories of playing ROTT over the modem with a single friend and finding the God or Dog mode power ups. Would be nice to have easy multiplayer access to both those games.

necrophilissimo · 10-13-2006, 06:14 AM

Well, doesn't Xbox has it's own Xbox Media Video codec (sames as Windows Media, only for Xbox) which it supports directly? I mean the video cutscenes of Duke were uncompressed; Encoding 'em should size the game down, at least a bit.

StixnStonz · 10-14-2006, 06:28 PM

Duke on XLA would be a dream come true. Some of my fondest videogame memories are from duke nukem 64 (wasnt a pc gamer back then). I really hope this makes it somewhere to people who can make it happen, if i were rich i'd buy my mom a house... and pay for duke nukem to be able to be played over live!

Actually Joe, MS is going to abolish that limit soon, when they release Castlevania: Symphony of The Night, alongside a new 512mb memory card.

qwerty · 10-15-2006, 04:02 AM

WTF, Duke3d will easily fit in the 50MB limit, compress the files and its way below 20mb

stop argueing about it

Joe Siegler we now know that duke3d is coming to xbla

Indeed. Nothing of the sort has been said by anyone.

Steve · 10-20-2006, 11:15 PM

Until a 3D Realms staff member states: "Duke Nukem 3D will be coming to Xbox Live Arcade" it's all bullshit.

Bull.
Shit.

Although it's funny when websites grab quotes from 3DR staff members and twist what they say. Or, heck, make up a fake interview. Fun for all

However I'd buy an Xbox 360 just to play Duke 3D... sad, I know. Putting ROTT on XBLA... now THAT would be awesome.

Katori · 10-21-2006, 08:30 AM

Yes, I think I can say that I would buy Duke3D as soon as it came out, even if it was upwards of $10. If it had Live co-op and deathmatch and maybe worked just a little bit better than DOOM (which I seem to find always lagging online) then I would play it all the time. :-D

Hudson · 10-21-2006, 01:15 PM

Wow, just wow.

The media really will take anything a 3DR staff member says and make a story about it.. that's really sad.

id like to see the atomic edition with the n64 graphics...

Ryanthelurkster · 12-01-2006, 05:48 PM

Wouldn't it be cool if Duke Nukem 64 was put on the wii's virtual console?

yeah its totally off topic but I didn't want to start a whole thread over just that.

foleyben · 07-10-2007, 07:35 PM

Ok, ive posted this because its been some time since any details have been handed out regarding DUKE on XBLA. Ive read its "already been discussed", various websites have said that, but that was a long time ago and i am posting this in hope that Joe or somebody will alert us to exactly where this stands.

Or maybe even word on Duke Nukem on the Wii?

All im asking is for a response from someone who is in the position to give a real answer. Even if its bad, i just want to stop hoping for something that might never come.

Peace.

alexgk · 07-10-2007, 11:17 PM

kennedy56 · 07-11-2007, 10:40 PM

I'm not here to cause trouble or anything, so I don't want anyone spazzing at me after I post this.

I'm not saying Joe is a lier but something may have changed with XBLA. Joe said that the file size limit for a game is 50 MB. I was just chatting with a friend of mine and he told me he has the Castlevania demo on XBLA and the file size is 92 mb.
