Scott, George & Duke4
by Steve Gibson, Oct 21, 1999 11:41pm PDT3D-Unlimited has a new interview with Scott Miller of 3DRealms. It's one of the longest interviews I've seen in a while and quite a good one. sCott talks about forming Apogee/3DRealms, the cars they drive, and all that stuff. Of course a couple of pages into the interview you'll get to the juice on Duke4 and Max Payne. Scott mostly just says "get the December PCGamer" though. Here is Scott talking about Duke4 tech:
We're using the Unreal Tournament version of the engine, but we've added a LOT of new technology to it. There's no doubt in my mind that our enhanced UT engine is one of the most powerful, impressive engines ever used, and will very much be leading-edge stuff when DNF comes out. In other words, this game will not in any way suffer from looking dated, which many gamers have expressed some concern about.update by Maarten: I spotted some more Duke4 news on the 3D Realms forums. Here's what the man George Broussard had to say on playing as different characters in Duke:
>>Something i was just wondering about, cause you can in Unreal, and it would be cool to play as a chick.Oh yeah, here is what Duke4 looked like in the Quake2 engine: [shot1] [shot2] [shot3] [shot4] [shot5] [shot6]
Not in single player. You're Duke. Well, we may have a surprise or two for you there later. But, yes, in DeathMatch we intend to have many, MANY models you can play as from the game, so you can pick your favorite.

i love posting those shots just to torture you guys cuz i know you cringe every time you see me link them.. haha
Quit bashing steve\'s banners, if it wasn\'t fer him, we\'d all be bored out of our friggin skulls.
Really man, the banners are ok, just don\'t be talked into (Ever!) those stupid pop-ups you get when you visit Porn sites. If you did that, I\'m afraid I\'d have to feed my gaming news fetish elsewhere.
Oh yea, to stay on topic - wish they\'d release the friggin game already!! A man can only play Half-life so many times!
i do my best to make the web page as bandwidth friendly as possible, but i can\'t get rid of the banners. im sorry. a couple of seconds extra of waiting a modem is a little bit better than paying to read what i work on every day though isnt it? you dont think anyone would actually pay to read this stuff do you? :)
doom 2 + Duke attitude = Kickass game
UT + (Duke attitude x10) = A whole lotta kickass?
I hope it lives up to it\'s potential
