Duke Nukem Forever Preview On Jace Hall Show
An anonymous reader writes "The Jace Hall Show launched today on Sony's Crackle with a real gameplay preview of Duke Nukem Forever. Jace Hall is a former video game producer and Warner Bros exec and apparently this is his foray into online celebrity. DNF is 12 years in development ... it might be real after all." And if you have had enough self-indulgent gaming-news patter, another reader says "If you want to simply skip right ahead, it's about 4:20 in."
The bikini models are at 5:14 into the video. I'm not kidding.
The engine is actually based on heavily modified Unreal/Unreal 2 tech.
On September 9, 2004, GameSpot reported that Duke Nukem Forever had switched to the Doom 3 engine. Those screenshots from the Unreal 2 engine were ancient, release in 2001. They've gone through about 5 major renderer overhauls since then.
Sigs are for Terrorists.
So Broussard says they're using the Unreal/Unreal 2 tech, but that they've redone the rendering 100%. Parse that as you will.

Most swf-players play an FLV (either streaming or not). FLV uses H.264 or H.263 (in the recent incarnations). These are the latest and greates codecs. And Flash is less evil than quicktime or realplayer, the other common ways to stream video online.
Your ad here. Ask me how!
FLV is a video format.
I make websites and stuff. Buy one.
the Jace Hall show, along with all the new content on crackle.com is show with pro equipment and encoded in H.264 - that's why we require a recent build of the flash player. if you have a fast internet connection you can watch the 2Mbps 720p H.264 stream. we think it's some of the best looking video on the web today.
Who the hell spends $1k on a gaming pc? I just put together a gaming machine last week. 2.53 GHz core 2 duo, 8800GT, 2 GB 1066 DDR2 = $350. Processor, video card, and ram are the 3 most important components to a speedy system. Runs everything I throw at it with all the in-game settings maxed.
MOO3 was the only game I've ever pre-ordered. I owned a game store back in what I considered "The Golden Age", and had copies of MOM, MOO, MOO2 and XCOM (although mine was called UFO: Enemy Unknown; got them from England to beat the other U.S. Retailers. I have a unopened 3.5" retail box on my shelf, BTW). I'd reread the reviews a zillion times, and it sounded like they really had it. Gods. I played it. once. for about 2 hours. Tried it again briefly the next day, hoping I had hallucinated it. Nope. sucked. bad bad bad. I ran across it again after throwing it against the back wall of my storage shed sometime last year, thought I would see if it had been MODded to playability. I have to admit, they have made a respectable effort. the game is not totally unplayable anymore. On the other hand, MOO2 runs just fine in Win2k, and is not only playable, it's incomparably good. I still hate those assholes.
Why, yes, I AM a Pagan Libertarian.
lol.. FPSes are FPSes, racing games are racing games, Tetris is Tetris.. pong is pong.. good old games are still good. Games have been getting more story driven and have more realistic physics/shiny graphics but that's about it.
which is totally what she said
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am master of my fate and captain of my soul.
