Half-Life 2 took forever to come out, it took 6 years, they valid reasons, one of them being the source engine got leaked and stuff like that, but what’s 3drealms excuse? Oh, excuse us, we’re being slow asses in creating a game, we’ll just switch to a better looking engine. Oh look another better engine has come out! Let’s use this one instead.
Stick with the 1 fucking engine not 4. They take too long to create a game. Out of those 12 years of production, Valve released several games, One of them having the shortest gap, Left 4 Dead 2.

So Valve could release one of the best games ever related to zombies in a 12th of time of what duke nukem does? I mean seriously, just stick with this and do it. Don’t keep on upgrading.

“Considering the amount of footage who knows, maybe only 25% of the levels were playable. Maybe not even that much…”

I counted maybe 2 or 3 levels and a boss fight (the stadium), but we heard no sound effects or in-game music (besides the title music and some random Duke soundbites mix that someone clearly created just for this video) and saw no evidence of a coherent single-player story.

Personally, I think the graphics and animation look fantastic, but in a finished game, I’d want a decent 10 hours of single player game play, some sound and music. And it would all have to be better than Prey, even though I thought that was okay.

I think some of you have a lot to learn about software development. The point is, 3D Realms may be great at starting projects, but they are fundamentally incapable of finishing them.

Clearly, there is something broken in their working methodology – while modern developers use Agile techniques (like Scrum or XP), 3D Realms seem to use the exact opposite. They are so slow that they frequently found technology overtaking them, which in the video game industry is unforgivable.

They did somehow manage to finish Prey, but it took 12 years to produce. Prey is a decent enough game, but there are plenty of better games around that were developed in a sixth of the time (sometimes less than that).

The only way anyone can resurrect Duke Nukem forever is to buy the code and give it to a better team of developers. That’s right – a better *team* of developers – you see, the guys at 3D Realms may be geniuses at coding, but as software engineers, i.e. people who actually produce working end products for customers, they suck.

Even if the game engine was rather playable, I’m sure there were a ton of functionality issues…

This is like the biggest cash cow that no one will milk. It looks great and I would love to play that or the many versions that we have seen over the years. Don’t they realize the hardcore duke fans that wasted weeks worth of hours playing duke 3d over and over would kill just to play a crap version let alone a super-duker kick ass one? Damn, I’m all out of bubblegum.

My guess is they spend too much time working on the strip clubs.
