Duke Nukem Forever wird zum Mythos

...and Triptych Games which continued the game for us through all of 2009 and into 2010 with Gearbox. Triptych is made up of 9 3DR employees who refused to let the game go and we found a way through the legal maze to keep them working on the game and to keep the game alive. They have been the development force for the last year that's made the game possible.

What you see coming from PAX right now is what we originally made at 3DR with polish and additional work by Triptych and assistance from Gearbox. http://www.triptychgames.com/

Yeah, blame us for it if you want. It may change in the future and I don't know what will happen with it, but it was us. I stand by it too, as you cannot discount designing games for a modern world and part of that world is consoles where the bulk of the sales can be. And on those consoles you have a controller. We tried for a long time to support lots of guns but we simply could not find a nice way to map it to a controller, despite trying 4-5 designs. We gave it enough time and decided to stop swimming against the current and adopt what was basically the "standard".

It's not 1996 anymore.

This is general and not pertaining to dnf...

That's a valid path if you can swallow the development effort to design two systems and maintain them. There are still issues with everything filtering down to a controller with 14 buttons and how to map the game to that, even on pc, where people may play with a controller. Sometimes you get mutually exclusive problems that are hard to solve. What if you need the dpad for weapon selection ala Orange Box, or Gears or something? What if you are using the dpad to select inventory items? Ok so you do a radial menu where you hold right bumper and then select guns with the left stick. But, right bumper was off hand grenades and that's the best place for it? It's a house of cards, so imo, unification is the best path. Some call it dumbing down, but really in most cases, it's just good design.

Beyond that there are design issues. IMO, combat encounters are more interesting and fun if you are given an arena and lots of weapon choices. As you move around the arena you can pick and choose what you like. The key is to offer the player lots of choices so that all play styles are supported. The player should not be frustrated at having to leave their favorite gun behind as long as you offer it again in the near future, so they can get it again. In fact, in lots of cases that's a win because you create this little feedback loop of addiciton and reward as you give them their fix

This is not really accurate. We approached them initially due to our past relationship and were able to work out a nice deal where everyone wins across the board. It's a mutually beneficial relationship, but it's not like a white knight came in and saved the day.

Duke war der Grund warum ich damals angefangen habe mich mit Netzwerken zu beschäftigen. => heute arbeite ich in einem IT Unternehmen.

Kann mich noch erinnern wie es auf meinem 486er 33MHz geruckelt hat wie Sau, sogar mit verkleinertem Fenster auf Gameboy-Style. Wurde natürlich dann aufgerüstet auf 66MHz
