DNF & Unreal Tech

I also want to add this:

For an unhyped game, DNF certainly has quite a lot of interested parties. IMHO, once you reach a certain level of interest, deliberately witholding information does the same thing as hyping it. Everyone wants to know, and every little tidbit is pounced upon, torn apart, magnified a hundred fold and examined in minute detail.

I felt Diablo 2 was the bs with its SSOTW's - I mean, its a screenshot, it looks nice, do you really have to rip it apart and wring every last preview clue out of it?? Thx diabloii.net, gg. After a while I stopped reading sites with D2 information because I wanted some surprises before I actually bought the thing. Its a shame that none of the previews described how much ASS was involved in the network code, b.net servers and the wonderful caching when you attack big monsters (Duriel).

This isn't anyone's fault, i'm just saying that in the absense of hype, the community goes ahead and makes some anyway.. its unavoidable. I must confess to not being as interested in DNF as some, but even so, i'd hate to see it fall victim to miniscule examination like some other games..

3DR, release nothing, please.

Cheers,
Raziel

Duke is gonna rock.

The end.

I think you could release some more info without blowing it.

You should take the same tact that smart movie producers use - get out enough info to build interest but not so much that you blow the whole story.

I guess in the same sense you want to be smart and not start the ad campaign too early.

hey.... i thought dx8 basically added new features. that post makes it sound like dx8 is going to help speed things up FPS wise on DNF a lot, and they are putting a lot of work into getting dx8's new features to help DNF run faster..

but like i mentiond i thought dx8 was mostly new features..... so the only work needed to be done would be to add effects into hardware and such things.. which would run faster but was DNF really doing a bunch of expensive effects in software? most cards wont even use a lot of dx8's new features right? i dont see how if DNF runs like at say 40 FPS now on DX7 moving over to DX8 and tweeking it would make it run that much faster?

mayb ei just read the post wrong

hopes chem exam is delayed, back to studying!

It's going to be an eternity by the time DNF comes out. 3drealms hasn't released a single game for the PC since Duke3D. In fact, I doubt we will even see DNF in the year 2001. I absolutely loved Duke3D and spent a lot of my time playing that game on LANs (a full year of LAN play every weekday). Sigh... if only they could release DNF sooner, I would be all over that game.

--Valiance--

So like. I htought moving to the Unreal engine was suppose to make the game better? Yet now they have spent a few more years working on a game using an engine that will be out of date when it comes out.

mmmmmmmm,duke nukem,when,where,why and how?

will this game ever be done?
I am getting the feeling Doom3 will be done before DNF.

Yes..........!

man, what a let down when it sez 0 next to the comments.
