Duke Nukem Forever 2001 Build Discussion

I don't think DNF 2001 would have been popular with Duke 3D fans. I imagine they still wouldn't have cared for it like they didn't like DNF 2011. Where DNF is pretty much disliked by Duke 3D fans and people that are new to the game. DNF 2001 would have probably been more popular with people who never played a Duke 3D game. Like how some people didn't like Doom Eternal because their first Doom game was 2016 and they wanted it to be more like that game. The old games good new games bad types would have still hated it. People who never played Duke 3D would have thought it was the best thing in the world.

I'm a Duke 3D fan, owned it as a kid on the N64 and PC. I know I would probably loved it, much in the same way I loved Half-Life. I don't think being a Duke 3D fan means you'll not accept anything that isn't Duke 3D. Everyone knew it wasn't going to be another Duke 3D ala doom clone, especially with game likes Quake 2, Unreal and Half-Life that started to change the formula of the FPS. What draws people to Duke is the borderline parody story, seedy atmosphere, and his goofy yet lovable personality. The leak showed there were secrets and carry over features from Duke 3D including the jetpack. It seemed like DNF was going to be to Half-Life, to what Duke 3D was to Doom in a way. And keep in mind, when this trailer came out, the concept of the retro FPS wasn't really a thing yet. Everyone who had a PC and read about the DNF 2001 E3 trailer in a magazine or website was still using a 9x OS like 98 and a DOS game like Duke 3D was still being sold alongside other PC games at game/electronic stores since it was still relevant, popular and compatible. People weren't as pessimistic and jaded about the industry like they were in the tail end of the 2000's. Even a game like Doom 3 caused super hyped by Doom and FPS fans despite the 2001 and 2002 demos clearly showing it was going to be a slower horror based game compared to its run and gunned predecessors.

I was beyond hyped for DNF 2001. What's leaked suggests I would have loved the game. I wanted aliens, babes, Duke kicking ass, and huge explosions. And what we have looks very good for a 2001 game. Doom 3 and Chronicles of Riddick wouldn't be out until 2004, and it was clear that those games had to make serious compromises in map complexity and enemy count to have normal maps and stencil shadows everywhere. They could have launched this in 2002 or 2003 and made a big splash.

Nah, pretty sure people would have loved it. I remember people being super excited after the trailer, and awaiting the game very eagerly.

From someone who enjoyed these type of maps from CS 1.6 and CSS. I don't understand why some like Civvie or w/e hate it.

Does Civvie hate it? Thought he just hated the several shrunk-sections in DNF, not the general concept.

Holy shit he is weak. If this baby tier drama shit is the kind of stuff that makes something around 5-6 tweets, god I hate to see what real drama might do to him.

He might bunker in a hole and write 100 tweets about " Mean words people said to me."

Like if you read the full shit. JsJ clearly has envy, but doesn't seem to outright hate him unless I am missing something here.
