Duke Nukem Forever Duke Nukem Forever Duke Nukem Forever, souvent abrégé en DNF ou DN4E, est un jeu de tir à la première personne (FPS) développé par 3D Realms puis par Gearbox Software sorti le 10 juin 2011 aux États-Unis. Il fait partie de la série des Duke Nukem. Il fait suite Duke Nukem Forever au titre à succès que fut Duke Nukem 3D. Duke Nukem Forever est le plus célèbre des vaporwares, c'est-à-dire qu'il est connu pour son développement prolongé. Celui-ci a commencé en janvier 1997, jusqu'au 6 mai 2009, quand le studio 3D Realms est déclaré en faillite ; cette faillite s'avéra par la suite démentie par le studio. Peu après, Take2, leur éditeur, a amené 3D Realms devant les tribunaux pour cause d'inaptitude à remplir le contrat qu'ils avaient sur le jeu. Cependant, en juin 2010, ce procès a été clos et 3D Realms déclaré gagnant [réf. nécessaire]. Le 3 septembre Éditeur GT Interactive 2010, 2K Games annonce finalement que Gearbox Software a repris le développement au stade laissé par 3D Realms et (1997–1999) serait en phase de finalisation, la sortie du jeu est prévue pour le 3 mai 2011 aux États-Unis, et le 6 mai 2011 dans le reste GoD (1999–2001) 1 du monde . Après un ultime report annoncé le 24 mars 2011 par Gearbox, le jeu sort finalement le 14 juin 2011 aux États- Take-Two (2001– 2 Unis et le 10 juin 2011 pour la sortie internationale . 2009) 2K Games (2010) Développeur 3D Realms puis Gearbox Software Sommaire Concepteur George Broussard 1 Histoire du développement Début du projet Janvier 1997 1.1 Début du projet 1.2 Un logiciel fantôme Date de sortie 14 juin 2011 10 juin 2011 1.3 La sortie de Prey 1.4 Diffusion discrète de screenshots Genre Tir à la première personne 1.5 Fermeture de 3D Realms Mode de jeu Un joueur, 1.6 Développement chez Gearbox multijoueur 2 Scénario Plate-forme Windows, Xbox 360, 3 Armes PlayStation 3, 4 Objets Macintosh 5 Autour du jeu Média DVD, Disque Blu-ray 5.1 Récompenses Langue Anglais, Français 5.2 Notes des médias Contrôle Clavier, souris 6 Distribution Manette 7 Notes et citations 8 Voir aussi 8.1 Liens externes Moteur Unreal Engine 2 (fortement modifié) Histoire du développement Début du projet Le jeu Duke Nukem 3D se termine sur un écran annonçant « Look for a Duke Nukem 3D sequel soon » (« Attendez-vous à une suite de Duke Nukem 3D 3 bientôt ») . Après l'énorme succès de Duke Nukem 3D, devenu un classique du jeu de tir à la première personne, une suite est officiellement annoncée en 1997 : le site web officiel déclare que la date de sortie sera « when it's done » (quand il sera fini). Ce quatrième volet de la série Duke Nukem est intitulé Duke Nukem Forever, un jeu de mot entre four (« quatre ») et forever (« pour toujours »). Le jeu a changé plusieurs fois de moteur au cours de son développement. Au départ, en 1997, il était prévu avec le moteur de Quake II, puis est passé en 1998 à l'Unreal Engine, ce qui a obligé les développeurs à recommencer le travail de zéro. 4 Le groupe de metal Megadeth fut alors invité à enregistrer la musique du jeu , qui apparaît sur la version japonaise de l'album Risk. Mais Duke Nukem Forever ne voit toujours pas le jour malgré les vidéos présentées lors de l'E3 en 2001. Un logiciel fantôme En 2002, ils repartent une nouvelle fois de rien. Tout devient plus flou à partir de ce moment-là. On sait qu'en septembre 2004, 3D Realms a choisi un nouveau moteur physique, le Meqon qui semble être d'une excellente qualité (avec la possibilité de détruire un mur brique par brique). 5 En janvier 2007, une annonce de poste à pourvoir dans le cadre du développement de Duke Nukem 3D a fait son apparition sur le site de Gamasutra . Au sujet 6 du contenu de la nouvelle des avancements du jeu sur ce même site , Joe Siegler, webmaster pour 3D Realms, a précisé que le jeu est toujours resté sur un 7 moteur graphique basé sur celui d'Unreal . 3D Realms prend avec humour et philosophie le retard du jeu. Sur leur site ils annoncent : « And yes, we know the game has taken a long time. There's no possible joke you could make about the game's development time that we haven't already heard. ». Traduction : « Et oui, nous savons que le jeu prend beaucoup de temps à sortir. Il n'y a aucune plaisanterie que vous puissiez faire au sujet de la durée du développement du jeu que nous n'ayons pas déjà entendue. » La sortie de Prey Depuis la sortie de Prey (2006), autre produit phare de 3D Realms qui a connu un développement tout aussi chaotique depuis 1997, et avant que le studio 3D 8 Realms ne soit déclaré en faillite, on pouvait espérer que la société irait se concentrer sur le projet Duke Nukem : sur la page « Get Hired » de leur site, ils indiquent « we focus all our efforts on one killer title at a time (« Nous ne nous focalisons que sur un seul titre qui tue à la fois »). Le héros de Prey est d'ailleurs présenté comme le meilleur ami de Duke Nukem. Diffusion discrète de screenshots 9 Un nouveau teaser est annoncé le 18 décembre 2007, puis diffusé le lendemain . Créé en cachette par des membres de l'équipe de développement, et diffusé à l'occasion de leur fête de noël annuelle, cette vidéo d'un peu plus d'une minute montre brièvement quelques ennemis et le héros tels qu'ils pourraient être dans 10 le jeu, mais sans montrer de séquence de jeu à proprement parler . Le jeu est alors annoncé comme utilisant le moteur Unreal Engine 2, de Unreal Tournament 2004, modifié pour s'aligner sur les autres jeux récents au point d'atteindre des performances quasi équivalentes à celles du moteur Unreal Engine 3 [réf. nécessaire]. Fin septembre 2008, alors que Duke Nukem 3D est commercialisé sur Xbox 360, deux copies d'écran en haute définition de Duke Nukem Forever sont glissées dans celui-ci. Fermeture de 3D Realms Cette section est vide, insuffisamment détaillée ou incomplète. Votre aide (https://fr.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Duke_Nukem_Forever&action=edit) est la bienvenue ! Toutefois, le studio 3D Realms a cessé le développement du jeu en mai 2009 suite à une liquidation judiciaire et à la fermeture du studio. L'avenir du jeu est resté incertain pendant plusieurs mois, avant que son développement ne soit finalement repris en 2010, par Gearbox Software Interactive (fondé par Randy Pitchford, ex-3D Realms). Développement chez Gearbox 11 Dans la nuit du 10 au 11 août 2010 , plusieurs sources chez Take-Two Interactive auraient confirmé une reprise du projet chez Gearbox Software, responsable dernièrement du jeu Borderlands et de la série Brothers in Arms. Bien que Randy Pitchford, le président de ce studio (et aussi le producteur exécutif du jeu) s'est refusé tout commentaire, il n'a jamais démenti ce fait. Durant l'événement PAX 2010, Gearbox Software a présenté le jeu et une démo jouable aux visiteurs de l'événement. Le jeu est prévu pour le 10 juin 2011 en 12, 13, 14 Europe, et le 14 juin 2011 en Amérique du Nord . Scénario Le jeu débute par un remake de l'affrontement entre Duke Nukem et le Cycloid Emperor dans le stade de Duke Nukem 3D. Une fois l'empereur vaincu, on se rend compte que Duke Nukem jouait en réalité à son propre jeu, en compagnie des jumelles Holsom. Duke apprend ensuite qu'un vaste vaisseau mère extra- terrestre vient d'apparaître dans le ciel de Las Vegas. Il se rend à la Duke Cave où il reçoit l'ordre du Président de ne pas intervenir, car les extra-terrestres sont cette fois pacifiques. Il se fait cependant attaquer par des extra-terrestres et riposte. Il assiste alors impuissant à l'enlèvement des femmes par les extra- terrestres. Il se dirigera vers le Duke Dome pour les chercher… Armes Ses poings Pistolet M1911 Fusil à pompes Eventreur (mitrailleuse) Rétrécisseur Freezer Bombe artisanale (Pipe bomb) RPG Devastator Enforcer Railgun Mines laser Objets Holoduke Duke Vision Bière 15 Stéroïdes .

En lui donnant ce prix, Wired espérait le retirer définitivement de leur classement annuel, mais il est revenu en 2006 grâce à de nouvelles promesses de sortie de 3D Realms. 23, 24, 25 Wired News a décerné plusieurs fois son Vaporware Awards à Duke Nukem Forever. Le jeu est arrivé second en 2000, et en tête de liste en 2001 et 2002 . Wired News a créé le Vaporware Lifetime Achievement Award exclusivement pour Forever et l'a décerné en 2003. En 2004, le jeu n'a pas été listé par Wired, car le 26 Lifetime Achievement Award avait été décerné pour libérer la tête de la liste . Cependant, à la demande des lecteurs, Wired a changé d'avis et Forever a gagné 27, 28 la 1re place en 2005 et 2006 .

  • 20년 간의 변천사: Scott Miller와 3D Realms (20 Years of Evolution
    ※ 본 아티클은 CMP MEDIA LLC와의 라이선스 계약에 의해 국문으로 제공됩 니다 20년 간의 변천사: Scott Miller와 3D Realms (20 Years Of Evolution Scott Miller And 3D) Benj Edwards 2009. 8. 21 http://www.gamasutra.com/view/feature/4169/kill_polygon_kill_violence_.php Scott Miller 는 PC 게임 업계의 역사에서 당대에 제대로 평가 받지 못한 인물이다. 그의 소프트웨어 출판에 대한 혁신적인 아이디어로 인해 셰어웨어 PC 게임 비즈니스가 장래성 없는 일에서 높은 수익을 올릴 수 있는 사업을 급격히 전환되었다. 이러한 와중에 그의 회사는 해당 분야에서 다양한 개혁을 추진했다. Scott Miller 는 아직까지 PC 게임의 선조 중의 하나로 거론되고 있지는 않으나 일반 대중들 사이에서는 가장 인기 있는 인물로 자리매김하고 있다. 1980 년 초반 새로운 부류의 게임 제작자가 등장했다. 그들은 제품을 셰어웨어로 무료로 유통시키며 전체 게임의 복사를 허용하고 그 대신 플레이 한 게임이 마음에 드는 경우 비용을 지불하도록 했다. 유감스럽게도, 이러한 용기 있는 제작자를 위하여 게임료를 지불하는 사람은 거의 없었다. Miller 는 이 시스템의 주요 결함을 발견했고 그의 셰어웨어 회사명에 따라 이름을 붙인 "Apogee Model"을 만들었다(게임을 다양한 부분으로 나눔). Apogee 는 각 게임의 첫 번째 에피소드를 무료 데모버전으로 배포하였으며, 게임이 마음에 드는 경우 회사에서 추가적으로 에피소드를 구입할 수 있도록 했다. 이 모델은 상당히 성공적인 것으로 입증되었고 Epic MegaGames(현재 Epic Games로 개칭)와 같은 유통업체는 이 모델을 자체 비즈니스에 적용하기 시작했다(자세한 내용은 Epic 설립자인 Tim Sweeney와의 초기 인터뷰에 나와 있음). 밀러는 인터넷이 주류를 이루기 전 디지털 유통 방식을 활용하여 성공적으로 게임을 배포하게 되었다. 일단 Miller 가 게임을 배포하면 Apogee 타이틀은 열광적인 팬이나 다름 없는 플레이어들의 성원에 힘입어 CompuServe 등의 온라인 서비스와 BBS 를 통해 바이러스처럼 급속히 퍼져 나갔다. 현재의 웹 중심 세계에서는 이러한 상황이 별로 대단해 보이지는 않겠지만 그 당시로서는 상당히 혁신적인 것이었다.

    44 Vision High-Status Leaders 45 The trouble with track records Why project managers with a high status can perform worse than their lower-ranking colleagues By Balazs Szatmari 46 Vision roject management plays a critical role in almost every organisation. If a project fails to meet its targets or dead- lines, or exceeds its budget, the effect can be devastating. So the project manager’s P performance is key. Steering a project towards success requires the leader to ensure that team members do their work effectively. It also demands that the leader has a clear vision, clarity in reason, practical sched- uling and the ability to attract a talented and efficient team. There is stress associated with motivating the project team to make sure things get done. Fortunately, good leadership can be cultivated and modified in line with the organisation’s culture to generate the best results. Playing the game My colleagues and I studied the video games industry to find out how the status of a project leader could influence the quality of their project. The industry was a good subject since it requires demanding project management skills. WE FOUND Failing to perform We set out to discover whether having a high status as a project leader makes a project better, THAT PROJECTS Since project management was a pivotal issue in and whether this kind of leader can garner the LED BY TOP this saga, it led us to examine how a high-status necessary support. project leader might influence the quality of American video game producer and designer MANAGERS projects.

    Dolla Dolla Bills, Y'all ●Do you like this site? ●Have you ever enjoyed reading anything here? ●Did you ever find anything helpful, informative, or even just funny? Then now’s the time to pledge your support and not get a free tote bag or whatever PBS is shilling these days. I don’t even have any cool interns to man the phone banks I also don’t have, so don’t expect any of that business, either. PROGRESS TO GOAL: 70% What I do have is the yearly renewal on my hosting plan coming up, with nothing budgeted to pay for it. I recently started a new job, which required a small move, which required fighting a ridiculous custody battle that I can’t even describe, which depleted any savings we had, etc… Things are fine now, financially and in every other way. We’re back on our feet and things are turning around; I can pay our bills and our lawyer (because that particular nightmare isn’t over yet), I can put food on the table and a nice new roof over our heads. I could probably even pay to renew my hosting plan, if I really wanted to. But that’s money that could be better spent on Trey, so that’s where I want to spend it. So, that being said, what am I going to do with Coquetting Tarradiddles? Well, that’s entirely up to you. To renew my server hosting at its current level (which is pretty necessary, unless you want the site crashing every time I get a traffic spike, or whenever some jellyheaded script kiddie tries to hack my Gibson), it’ll cost me $250 clams.

  • Id As Super-Ego: the Creation of Duke Nukem 3D
    id as Super-Ego: The Creation of Duke Nukem 3D “What do you think of Quake and its legacy in the history of the game industry?” Ken Silverman: “It’s a huge influence—especially to 3D Realms.” Rene Patnode March 22, 2001 Today’s Games Just Ain’t Right There is absolutely no doubt that id Software’s Doom is the most prominent game created during the period of the first generation of first-person shooters; it more or less defined the genre. There were precursors, of course—Origin’s Ultima Underworld was the first mass-market game to use a first-person three-dimensional perspective and id’s own Wolfenstein 3-D was very popular in its own right. However no other “FPS” game and, more generally, few games in the other genres have had the cultural impact of Doom, then or now. Every FPS game created today, no matter how technologically advanced it is, must bear the weight of being compared to Doom and few games measure up. Everybody looks upon his memories of Doom with nostalgia, and, much like the fact that today’s kids just ain’t right, today’s games just ain’t right. It is no surprise therefore that id Software enjoys a privileged position in the game industry. Every id game since Doom has been on the bestseller list. In fact, the talented few who are allowed to join the ranks of id become gods to the gaming world; in a very real way, they are worshipped. Indeed, id fans frequently refer to John Carmack, lead programmer and one of the founders of id, not as John or Mr.

  • On the Trail of the Wolf: How Wolfenstein 3D Defined the First Person Shooter
    On the Trail of the Wolf: How Wolfenstein 3D Defined the First Person Shooter Andrew M. Reid STS 145: The History of Video Games Prof. Henry Lowood 3-18-02 If you asked “the man on the street” to a some First Person Shooters, Half-Life, Unreal, Quake, and Doom would certainly be included in the responses. If you asked enough people you would get others such as Duke Nukem 3D, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and—the predecessor to Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and to all of the previously mentioned games—Wolfenstein 3D. Rene Patnode states in Id as Superego that Doom is the game that current First Person shooters are compared to.1 It is often argued that Doom is the defining game for the genre of First Person Shooters. However, it is Wolfenstein 3D that is actually the defining game of the genre. While many games will be forever compared to Doom and Quake, id’s next First Person Shooter after Doom, most of the basic concepts of game play in Doom are based on or improvements to Wolfenstein 3D. The design decisions made during the development of Wolfenstein 3D affected the design of all later first person shooters, and therefore, defined the genre of first person shooters. Before I argue that Wolfenstein 3D began the genre of First Person Shooters, I must first talk a little about the notion of genre in video games and define what I mean by 1 Patnode, Rene.

  • 2K Games and Gearbox Software Announce the Wait Is Over - Duke Nukem Forever(R) Is Now Available
    2K Games and Gearbox Software Announce the Wait is Over - Duke Nukem Forever(R) is Now Available June 14, 2011 What was once thought unobtainable is now available in stores worldwide - always bet on Duke. Always! NEW YORK, Jun 14, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- 2K Games and Gearbox Software are proud to announce the legendary Duke Nukem Forever(R) has arrived and is now available in North America on the Xbox 360(R) video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation(R)3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. For over 15 years, fans have waited in video game purgatory for the launch of the mythical Duke Nukem Forever, and now June 14, 2011 will forever mark the day that the magnificent King triumphantly returned to kick alien ass and chew bubblegum. "June 14 in North America will forever be celebrated as the day that the legendary Duke Nukem Forever went from video game folklore to earth- shattering reality," said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. "For 15 years fans have waited in limbo just yearning to hear those two little lovely words strung together - Now Available. Today, the acronym 'DNF' changes its meaning to a 'Day to Never Forget'. I am proud to announce that the wait is finally over and that Duke Nukem Forever is truly Now Available." Duke Nukem Forever has become one of the most hotly discussed and eagerly awaited entertainment properties of all time. The game has gone from being highly anticipated when it was originally announced in April 1997, to achieving mythological status when it disappeared for more than a decade.
