to be honest, if they`d have released it in 1998 it wouldnt have had even a chance against half life an unreal. thats one of the good things about this very late release
@KongOpusMagnum unreal was MP only and i curse the day Half Life showed that you dont need an interesting narrative or engaging gameplay,you just a bunch of hallways and scripted events
They should have just built on this and released it in like 1999. Then continue the series for years to come. Instead they wanted to make the best game ever, and look what happened. DNF is not a bad game, just very flawed. Although by this trailer, the original DNF looks very much like Half-life. Makes sense since HL uses it's own version of the Quake Engine. Who knows, if DNF was released a few months later in 98 it might have made HL look less impressive when it was released as well in 98.
@ShadowPhazonv2 Thats exactly what is speculated. Half life probably wouldn't be as well received as it is today if DNF came out like this. I have to say that by 1998 standards this game still looks incredibly well done. They kept updating the engine and starting over though. The only other thing I'd say is they got the lighting done very well in this trailer.
It's a shame the guys at 3D realms couldn't just be satisfied with anything they had made. If this original version of the game had come out in 1998, it would've blown everyone away, just as they had intended. But no, every time a new game came out they would go back to square one. Now more than a decade later, the final product is mediocre at best.
what the hell WAS wrong with 3drealms? this footage shows a pretty much finished work, impressively good at that. they could have released it and not go out of business, and develop sequel after sequel, instead they let everything rot to hell. stupid dumbasses BEGGED to go belly up.
@Golemoid actually, not quite. mine was a hot-blooded rant, but the truth of things is that they were perfectionists, spit and polishing every detail in any given game. as a matter of fact, they don't have that many games under their belt since DN3D, while they should have just been cutting and shipping, like everyone else profitably does. such maniacal attention to detail worked in the 2D era, back when they were still named apogee software, but nowadays it's grounds for failure.
In some alternate reality, this game came out in 1998 and it became the new norm for FPS shooters instead of Half-Life.
I mean, Half-Life still would have done just as well, but this would have done equally as well and we'd have games inspired by Duke Nukem as well as Half-Life. It is the perfect gaming balance.
poor Duke,his it camed out in probably the worst videogame era ever,where shooters are prety much everywhere,im sure this would have been another milestone in shooters or gaming in general like goldeneye on the N64 if it would ahve actualle been releaseed the 12 years it was on development
i'm sure this game would've been great when if it had come out when it was supposed to. whats funny is that this actually looks like it would've been more fun than the one that was actually released
I playd Duke Nukem 3D back in the day, and i loved Duke Nukem Forever! It was a great fun game that doesn't take it self to seriously, unlike the newer Halo's/CoD's that, the only thing they do, is offer the exact same serious photorealistic/futuristic gameplay over and over...
Welcome back Duke! Cant wait for Duke Nukem 5, and hope i doesent take 15 more year to be made...
hey guys I'm cool and original I can post about how much I hate DNF all across youtube because I don't know what the fuck i'm talking about. wahhhhhh!
@Ninjamohawk I understand that a lot of people hate Duke Nukem Forever (2011), but your comment is just ridiculous.
"...LOOKS a million times better than what we actually got." WTF, are you serious? LOL!
I bet 100 bucks that if the developers had done something like this and released it in 2011, people would bash it more than the last Duke Nukem game released in these days.
Oh c'mon don't believe those retards at IGN and GameTrailers.
Duke Nukem was a good game. It wasn't supposed to be industry changing, it was just supposed to fun.
Just check out Razorfist's review of that game, i'm pretty sure it will change your mind. Just search "razorfist duke nukem" on YouTube and you should find it.
hello to the people of 1998. im from the future, 2011, where Duke Nukem Forever was released. i came back in time to send you all an improtant message: DUKE NUKEM FOREVER is going to suck ass, tell 3drealms they should not switch engines and just release the game with the Quake 2 Engine. make it happen so DUKE NUKEM wont die and we will see an actual good duke nukem in the future.
They really should have released this in the late 90's. It would have been perfect timing for some competition to Half-Life! I wasn't interested in Half-Life back then. This would have been more interesting than Half-Life at the time.
Damn I can't believe this game actually came out, for years I though this game was some sort of Urban Legend like the Tri-Force on Ocarina of Time. :P
I never use an apostrophe on youtube....but really, my sloppiness is no real vindication for your "graphics is (sic) not everything" quote. "I was talking about the new game that was just released"
How you could think I was talking about the original game from 1998 that was never released is beyond me. The new game is more embarrassing than our grammar.
Guys, the older versions were actually never made. These "gameplay" footages are just rendered into the graphic card so that it's looks like it's actual gameplay. Same about the 2001 version. So they can't release these older versions because they where actually never made into real controllable gameplay..
@Fjuka I've heard this before but never from a reputable source. I have no problems believing most of what is seen is scripted, but they're definitely rendered in-engine and must therefore have been at least partially playable. Even if it just meant you could walk around and fire the shotgun. Especially the '98 trailer. The '01 trailer looks even more scripted, but it at least counts as an in-engine scripted cut scene.
@BlackTurtle82 Also, Half Life 1's engine (goldsource) can do graphics that look like it is the unreal engine. Don't believe me? Look at Cry Of Fear. But anyways as I said DNF will be worth the wait!
@GTAMyth2311 That was a joke, man :-) And graphics really isn't that different :-P (I KNOW, there are more important things than looks, but it just looks five years old…)
@darksmiley they did finish it. gearbox just polished and published it. the actualy game was done 99% by 3d realms with the rest dont by gearbox unde rth direction from 3d realms original director.
@darksmiley cause they went bankrupt after invesitng too much money into it and then scraping it for another version. the game was very close to being finished but then the debt caught up to them and they closed down. then earbox picked up some of the 3d realms devs and directors and they finsihed the game. remember completing 99% of the game is just the game. gearbox is doing all the polishing, music, VA, ext. aka all the little things that relay make gams special when doen with anough care
@ragejg Most likely Glide since 3DFX was quite popular in the late 90's and the Unreal Engine at the time (What DNF used then, and still will use today) made excellent use of it..
if this would have came out in 1998, I don't think that half life would have that kind of status it has today, pepole would still say its the best game, but there will always be the persons who are saying, but what about duke nukem forever then?
Imagine having this game come out right after Duke3D, its like a hundred steps past it in terms of graphics (and probably storytelling and character). I'm so glad it finally gets to see the light of day....it has too much history to be forgotten on some shelf. Plus, I doubt DNForever will be the last we see of Duke :D
@gamezonic the graphics are just '1998 average' except for two things:
- The most REALISTIC LENS FLARES EVER DONE (and still are this)
- Framebuffer effects. check out that cloaked alien. you haven't really seen things like that done in games until pixel shader 2.0 rolled around. this trailer was filmed on a voodoo2 which supported this well enough. very few games directly read/wrote to the framebuffer for things like that since hardware all sucked in the era so there was no risk to go for it.
That engine was released, the game wasn't. It was the Quake II engine that 3D Realms used, amongst several others that came later on including the Unreal engine. The latest build is an engine that has been custom made for Duke, no variations on any others.
does anyone know what consoles Duke Nukem Forever was intended to be released on back in 1997 when they first announced this game? Like if it actually got finished and released in 1998 was it going to be on PC and PS1,SAT,N64?
I want to play THIS game, instead of Duke Nukem Forever

the 1998 and 2001 trailers look alot better than the 2011 one to be honest.

@darksmiley they did finish it. gearbox just polished and published it. the actualy game was done 99% by 3d realms with the rest dont by gearbox unde rth direction from 3d realms original director.

@jsh020 wow... that's so cool, I had no idea it was that closely tied to 3D Realms! I wonder why it never actually got finished by 3DR....
darksmiley 11 months ago
@darksmiley cause they went bankrupt after invesitng too much money into it and then scraping it for another version. the game was very close to being finished but then the debt caught up to them and they closed down. then earbox picked up some of the 3d realms devs and directors and they finsihed the game. remember completing 99% of the game is just the game. gearbox is doing all the polishing, music, VA, ext. aka all the little things that relay make gams special when doen with anough care

Gratuitous use of sun flare effect FTW. Was this in GLiDE, OpenGL or DirectX?

@ragejg Most likely Glide since 3DFX was quite popular in the late 90's and the Unreal Engine at the time (What DNF used then, and still will use today) made excellent use of it..

this looked less like Duke, and more like Half life.

if this would have came out in 1998, I don't think that half life would have that kind of status it has today, pepole would still say its the best game, but there will always be the persons who are saying, but what about duke nukem forever then?

Imagine having this game come out right after Duke3D, its like a hundred steps past it in terms of graphics (and probably storytelling and character). I'm so glad it finally gets to see the light of day....it has too much history to be forgotten on some shelf. Plus, I doubt DNForever will be the last we see of Duke :D

@gamezonic the graphics are just '1998 average' except for two things:
- The most REALISTIC LENS FLARES EVER DONE (and still are this)
- Framebuffer effects. check out that cloaked alien. you haven't really seen things like that done in games until pixel shader 2.0 rolled around. this trailer was filmed on a voodoo2 which supported this well enough. very few games directly read/wrote to the framebuffer for things like that since hardware all sucked in the era so there was no risk to go for it.

Duke Nukem Forever will release this year

The game engine certainly looks much more impressive than half-life, too bad it wasn't released. What a waste.

@Flashlight1996
That engine was released, the game wasn't. It was the Quake II engine that 3D Realms used, amongst several others that came later on including the Unreal engine. The latest build is an engine that has been custom made for Duke, no variations on any others.

@Flashlight1996 half life's engine is better. Compare the two. you'll see

does anyone know what consoles Duke Nukem Forever was intended to be released on back in 1997 when they first announced this game? Like if it actually got finished and released in 1998 was it going to be on PC and PS1,SAT,N64?
amacfantaasy 1 year ago
@amacfantaasy It would have been a PC release, probably with later ports to other consoles, similar to DN3D.
