Duke It Out in Quake
by Maarten Goldstein, Feb 07, 2001 4:00pm PSTThe Duke it out in Quake site has officially launched and they are showing one of the latest Duke Nukem 3D levels they converted to Quake3. It's level 1 from episode 1, Hollywood Holocaust and judging by the screenshots it's a pretty good conversion. They already converted several other levels, which can be downloaded here.
...more screenshots You gotta wonder what the 3DR crew thinks of this though. update: Well, this is what they think. George Broussard posted this comment I commend the guys on their being fans, but they really can't do this. People really should know better and it really pains to have to write emails to hard working teams that picked the wrong idea. But the level designs and the textures are all copyrighted works and you really can't go around re-creating them - even for funm or even for free. It's the same reason you don't see Doom 1 redone in Quake 3. As much as we'd all like to see it - it's just not allowed.

The lower left hand corner, specifically. Now, I know the response will be "we only provided the tool, not the coverted maps and textures", but it's still hillarious. :D (Thanks, Fuel!)

HOWEVER, recall that id didn't touch YPOD (a quake mod that re-created doom), because they they remade the textures and levels themselves rather then rip them off. I'm not sure what the case is with this D3D thing, but from the sound of George's reply, he's being much more assholish then id ever was.

keep thinking legal boys. Wouldn't it be funny if the redone duke levels with Quake3 looked better then the new levels?

Bruce Campbell is a fucking whiner. 3dRealms use a couple of lines and a couple of things that could remind you of bits of Evil Dead, and Bruce seems to think they're blatently ripped everything out of Evil Dead, which didn't happen.
Not to mention, the last time Bruce was vocal about Duke/3DR on the net, it was when promoting some game he was involved with, saying it would 'kick Dukies ass'.
Lol. Fucking whore. And for a game that was a pathetic failure.
Hows the Evil Dead game coming along, anyway?
