exp(x) Posted September 30, 2008 That's a nice looking ass, but the hair is awful. 0 Share this post Link to post
kristus Posted September 30, 2008 Hair is still troublesome in modern games. Smooth shaded alpha textures can't be rendered like the rest, and the lighting won't affect it, this is in Unreal3 and IdTech4 alike. So, it affects how you can do hair. Doom3 did it by only having black hair use alpha maps,(Though the chainsaw zombie did have alpha shaded hair, I haven't look into how it's at a close up) and in Bioshock the hair was just generally awful. 0 Share this post Link to post
Kaiser Posted September 30, 2008 Looks like a generic Unreal-Engine game. Pretty disappointing, due to the fact that it uses this god awful tech. 0 Share this post Link to post

Captain Red Posted September 30, 2008 I want to believe that this game is the Duke Nukem' Forever in the trailer we where shown in 2001 with an upgraded engine. :/ 0 Share this post Link to post

Csonicgo Posted September 30, 2008 Why look, it's "slap a bunch of shaders all over everything" combined with that satire that makes a Duke game a Duke game. Let's see--- Relief mapping for rocks in the distance.. check. Parallax mapping and reflection shaders for extra shininess on gun... check Bumpmapping for ridges in fingers that seem to be wrapped in a space age cellophane... check Bloom... CHECK CHECK CHECK! HDR... You bet your ass! Grasp for realism as well as a subtle jab at the current sue-happy society with warning about laser radiation on a FUCKING AWESOME PISTOL... CHECK! Women... booobs "badass" face, complete with polarized glasses... check Realistic looking clothing on everything but the main character.. check of course, none of this will really matter as the game shall be CONSTANT ACTION WITH SMOOTH OR MOVIE FRAMERATE (latter has the potential for badass-ness) so being picky about little graphical details is silly at best. Maybe. Also, kudos to 3d Realms for realising AA on cards is still shit and for posting screenshots based on settings suitable for average graphics cards. And since no one has mentioned it yet, and I've also yet to see it--- I want to see some explosions. That's what made Duke Duke -- blowing shit up-- and the explosions should look crisp, bright and exaggerated like Die Hard. It's the only way to go, baby. 0 Share this post Link to post

Udderdude Posted September 30, 2008 They couldn't be assed to turn on AA for their screenshot? It looks pretty jaggy. I guess they spent their budget on cheap whiskey instead of new PCs. 0 Share this post Link to post
david_a Posted September 30, 2008 I really don't understand the economics of this game. With a game that's been in development since the late Triassic, I don't see how they can possibly make much money off it. Are they just going through the motions in order to slap something on a shelf and recoup some losses? 0 Share this post Link to post
Use Posted September 30, 2008 Kaiser said:Looks like a generic Unreal-Engine game. Pretty disappointing, due to the fact that it uses this god awful tech. Looks alright. It would be nice if they went with a more cartoony approach like the old duke games, that kind of art in the context of the Unreal engine would have no limits. But I guess trying to ape realism like every other dumb game works too. 0 Share this post Link to post

kristus Posted September 30, 2008 Well, they got some money off of people who thought that Prey was gonna be a good game. Then they made some Duke Nukem platformer game... and I guess sold their souls to satan. 0 Share this post Link to post

AndrewB Posted September 30, 2008 I had a dream last night that I was playing a new Duke Nukem that actually focused on gameplay and environments as well as DN3D did but didn't demand much hardware. I'm hoping that this isn't a minor coincidence. 0 Share this post Link to post

999cop Posted October 1, 2008 Should anyone still concern about DNF anymore? First, the gfx are outdated Second, we have more far better games in the past 10 years than thsi 0 Share this post Link to post
DeumReaper Posted October 1, 2008 999cop said: Should anyone still concern about DNF anymore? First, the gfx are outdated I wouldn't care about the game until 3DRealms says it's gold and a demo comes out. People have been looking at a development process rather than a final game. When it comes out, it's as simple as this--if the game is fun, I'll play it. If not, then I won't. Anyone who refuses to play the game because it took so long to make (and believe that the game should literally contain 12 or whatever years of work) is a tool for the hype. Don't care about the graphics if the gameplay is good. If the gameplay is bad, then DNF doesn't have much going for it. 0 Share this post Link to post
Sharessa Posted October 1, 2008 I don't care what people say about its development time or even if its graphics are 10 years old. If it looks like it has fairly good gameplay, I'm buying the sucker. 0 Share this post Link to post
Technician Posted October 1, 2008 Dated graphics? Duke 3D had dated graphics for it's time. If the game contains all the elements of the original that made the series fun then it's a good game. 0 Share this post Link to post
