Those are original screens from way back when, the game was still on the Quake 2 engine at that point I believe.

The TF2 that got released is NOT the TF2 Valve started developing or promised us. The "new" TF2 is a great game, no doubt - but it's not the game that was being developed way back when.

I was just watching a commercial for DeVry (the one where they go "This could be the best game ever... only YOU haven't made it yet!"). That got me thinking: holy shit, what if the reason Duke Nuke 'Em forever is still in development is because I haven't made it yet? What if every day a hundred people go to work and sit in a dark office waiting for me and I never show up? WHY DIDN'T SOMEONE TELL ME I WAS SUPPOSED TO MAKE DUKE NUKE 'EM FOREVER?!

Yes, I was high.

Unreal 2.5 or same Engine as UT(original)

I don't care if they start from scratch again using the U3 engine. I'll still buy it. It doesn't have to be great, just good. I grew up with Duke Nukem, and all I want is more of that no fluffs, in your face gameplay / humor.

On another board, someone quipped "Great, can't wait to play it on by Bitboys video card!"
I would've added "...using the Optimus keyboard for control!" ...but lo and behold, Lebedev's baby is actually being prepared for commercial launch!

Hey, that would make for a great trick question: "Who's gonna come back first - Jesus or Duke?"

:confused: If you have not noticed, TF2 has been out for a while.

Damn....I just have to quote this because of how badly you missed his point. :thumbsup:

;)

You can say that again~

and again

If you comprehend what you read, the terrorists win.

Isn't the name Duke Nukem "Forever" a prophecy that the game will forever not be produced?

I think it's more of a prophecy that you will forever live under a rock... as that joke has been used for years and years.

Screw DN:F, I wish they would just remake Duke Nukem' 3D to take advantage of the latest HW. That was an awesome and fun game.

They're actually making it for Xbox720 and PS4... ;)
Oh and for Optical CPU sockets with light driven architecture. ;)
