DNF 2011 is a good reality to have

@@alantaylorfc DNF 2011 is a good reality to have? In jokes? Yes, as a good game? Not really.

@@thecuchikiller With mods it is passable mediocre FPS for a few evenings and stuff.

Well, it seems like the curse has struck again. But unlike DNF where as the game took too long to develop, with numerous alterations, rewrites and team switch ups within the both development team and the management, Phantom Fury not seemed to have been mismanaged from the the very start but was also rushed by Slipgate Ironworks because Embracer and 3D Realms were on their way out financially (mostly thanks to the former).

Except the last real time DNF got any development time was 2006 before its release in 2011 They had no excuse for this one

I was so hoping voidpoint did this

@@chiarosuburekeni9325 Yeah I originally thought they were the ones developing it until a few months ago. I really wanted this game until I found out Slipgate were making it.

I still don't understand why this was greenlit when we have Ion Fury and Aftershock just came out. I Want more of that, not a modern shooter.

Slipgate hasn’t even released Wrath Aeon of Ruin yet, it’s been so long its original developer left. 3D Realms has been poorly managed with taking on so many games all at once, hopefully the new owners will rectify it.

​@mitchjames9350 it's been out since February....

Both Blood 2 and Phantom Fury had cool graphics but fundamentally broken gameplay

​@@Lord_DeimosThey're both raw

Not shocked. His Ion Fury review was so half assed and full of inaccuracies.

Actually wrong. All these last 3 games ARE decent (not great), and that requires competence, just look at the mountains of shovelware out there, and the fact that a random nobody like you could spend a decade trying and not come close.

Version of duke nukem? Female protag lul

@@vgamedude12 and? The whole trailer was mirroring DNF 2001 trailer, so naturally people expected it to be kind of a spiritual successor.

@OCTO358 I mean I feel like nothing more needs to be said than female protag if we're talking about Duke nukem.

@@vgamedude12 You do know she was originally supposed to be Duke Nukem's sidekick right?

Yeah, thought that too.

KillPixel started Wrath, but it was Slipgate Ironworks that finished it. He handed the project over to them and eventually left partway through development over some disagreements.

Did they? Wasn't aware of that part. Looking into it though, you're quite right. I'd still consider it a KillPixel game though, given he worked on it for about a decade, and it's most definitely his baby... even if Slipgate helped it over the finish line.

@@skeletonpatch It wasn't finished by Slipgate it was finished by contract team with Killpixel themselves still providing support. There's a reason why of the 3Drealms/Slipgate released games it's the most polished and honestly well put together. That's due to Splipgate/3Drealms having little involvement with the making of the game, but they sure as sugar screwed Killpixel and had the game get rushed out.

If the Wrath guy is to be believed, he was burnt out by publisher meddling. With this track record, I am bound to believe him.

For those who are saying Slipgate Ironworks finished Wrath, it is more complicated than that. There were a lot of Quake mappers and modders on temporary contracts, not part of Slipgate, that did a lot of work on Wrath after KillPixel and others left.

There is a DNF 2001 game being based on the leak so follow this one.

@@blade9292 I really want it to be a real thing and not vaporware. Back in the day I was so excited to see the DNF trailer.

I KNEW IT

Half-Life clones are generic and boring, even these DOOM goy slops clones are more original.

It's like what happened to Ridge Racer series with Unbounded - people expected a Ridge Racer game, instead they got a Burnout clone. Was it a bad game? No, not at all. But it was nothing like what was promised and what people expected.

the problem is if your game keep remind me of another better game then i will get to ask myself ''Why i am not playing the better game instead of that ''

​@@ValveFanboy-eh5bhoh my science your PFP is so valid xueen

​@@ValveFanboy-eh5bh the fuck is goy?

There is many game who took cues from HL and SiN, there is good and bad ones. But so far you can take Nolf, RTCW, SoF and Red Faction. So for me if Phantom Fury is close to these I'm ok with this.

Sadly, it’s not available on consoles

It’s REALLY good. I JUST played through it and it’s like the base game on steroids. The locations are so awesome looking and the new weapons and enemies (that you can put into the base game in the form of an arrange mode) are really nice. Worth the money. Needs to drop on consoles fast

@@ThaBotmonwhy are you gaming on a console as a grown adult in 2024? Are you that high time preference?

​@@cococock2418This. If you are playing on a console for anything other than exclusives, you're doing it wrong.

@@Michael_Hunt and even those are coming to a swift end. Everything on Xbox is already on pc and most of gaystation, at least the majority of what we would care about from gaystation, is already on pc, comes to pc after a year exclusive, or is set to come to pc in the future. It’s essentially Nintendo is the only one that you’d have to have a physical console for, but even then, Nintendo is easier to emulate

Why but ?

@@nitheal95 It's a kind of game dev joke. It originally started with Arkane studios making it the first code in every game, then others started doing it.

@@The_CoomSlayer If I remember, this code was used in Looking Glass games from the 1990's. I played System Shock 2 (1999) and the first locked door required entering a code: 00451. Legend goes that this was the code their office and was inspired by the book "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. Since Looking Glass were pioneers of immersive sims, most games that followed in their steps used 451 as a reference. Today it is a recurring joke in such games and beyond.

Actually the code with in system shock first. Then system shock bioshock and arkane games used it to honore system shock since it started the whole thing. ​@jakubkornalik1099

​@jakubkornalik1099 Yes it's a dev joke, but it was not Arkane, who did it first. The code originates from System Shock and then was used in a lot of other immersive sims like the first Deus Ex.

Half Life did have a decent story for an FPS game, but calling it "amazing storytelling" is pushing it, unless you mean environmental storytelling.

A lot of people exagerate about HL ... but the whole scripted everything made me more underwhelmed than anything. The AI of the soldiers was impressive though. Unreal and HL had the best AI of the period. And as much I loved SiN the game was flawed and didn't had a very good AI but it was competent...

​@@OCTO358The appeal of half life's story comes from all the mystery surrounding it and half life 1 arguably does this better than half life 2. Throughout the whole game you got all these G man sightings peppered all over the levels that make you wonder who this guy is. And once we get to Xen we got the vortigaunts in chains and the Nihilanth's cryptic dialog that is just normal enough that you can kinda understand sone words here and there, but most of it remains a mystery. Then there's the ending which just leaves you wanting more. Then in half life 2 episode 2 a lot more is revealed about the g man only to end in a cliffhanger which unfortunately got ruined by half life alyx.

@@saisameer8771 Half Life had good atmosphere. Setting. Sets. Sound. Story? Meh. Just keep mysterious things coming with no actual logical glue. They probably never figured out how to all stick it together. Think LOST. That is why you should think about the global story line and events before starting massive projects ;)

Too bad it’s a shit one, just play some half life mods instead

We've technically been getting them for years now. It's just everytime someone makes one, it ends up as its own thing, which isn't bad by any means

Industria 2

To hell with dnf. Im still waiting for hl3

I mean DNF 2001 was seemingly influenced by Half Life so uh its kind of weird to use this as criticism. I get that the game is unpolished but it being similar to Half Life is a strange dealbreaker

@@DuckRotation There's "influenced by" and then there's "trying to emulate". Now, trying to directly emulate a version of a game we never got to play? I can understand. Directly trying to emulate a game that we played endlessly and that is very, very hard to match, let alone beat? Bit perplexing. And while DNF 2001 may have been "influenced" by Half-Life, the emphasis it placed upon granular detail with interactions (the visible booping of buttons and whatnot) was a clear evolution of the limited interactions of Half-Life... and arguably Deus Ex did more of that by far. In fact, I don't know the timeline exactly, but it seems like DNF was more heavily inspired by Deus Ex in terms of environmental interactions. Also not sure where you're getting "dealbreaker". Never even came close to saying that. Just said it was a shame that they didn't double down on emulating a game we all wished we could have played, rather than a game we all most certainly did play.

@@1oneguythat Why? Just play Entropy Zero 1 and 2. Entropy Zero 2 is excellent, and takes all the leaked ideas pertaining to HL3 and makes a great go of giving us some closure. It may not be official, but you're never going to see HL3.

@@-Zakhiel- ''hurr durr you can string similar words into a sentence to give a general explanation of themes in media... goly gee who woulda guessed!

It's like they got access to the Half-Life source code (no pun intended) and everything along with it, then spent a year or however long this was in development trying to make their homework look different from their friends'.

@@Fang.1 Yea this is precisely it. I was trying to figure out what it was, but couldn't quite find the phrase to explain it. It's like they were trying ti mimic Half-Life without being too obvious. I still don't see how other people don't seem to see it, though. I definitely see that more than I see Duke Nukem Forever. Shared this video with a friend of mine that said it was heavily Duke Nukem Forever inspired, saying, "Check this out. The guy lays out all the comparisons in such a way that you'll have to fold man. You can't deny this isn't heavily inspired by Half-Life; this is certainly made to be a Half-Like." He watches it and is still like, "Meh, many games have the same features he outlined here. This game plays more like Duke than Half-Life, even if the devs were aiming for Half-Life, so they still failed at hitting their target." So yea, guess some people just aren't seeing it no matter what kind of details are provided.

Same. Nice surprise though.

You’re probably right.

I'm pretty sure it's because they were remaking SiN too...as SiN Reloaded..but that's now on hold...maybe it was supposed to be like a double-feature, initially anyway.

It's an Half-Life clone, therefore it is.

Its bad

new 3D Realms games were good to begin with?

@@noddy1973Ion Fury was good, so was the expansion, I suppose people hoped it would carry over

There's plenty of GOOD retro games though. This one sadly isn't that great. Turbo Overkill is similar in ascetic but absolutely steller in combat. This game feels like baby's first fps.

Didn't ask but I will enjoy it.

Idk why anyone still watches Mayo. The dude is a complete putz.

The level of corporate meddling with 3D Realms/Slipgate Ironworks makes their games not feel like indie games to me.

The Ion Fury line was definitely a mistake, but Wrath was at least codeveloped by Slipgate, so that wasn't entirely wrong 😅

@@Chozo_Ghost Not really. Check MobyGames for list of credits. It's 100% KillPixel game. I'm talking programming/art/design and not some other role with little impact.

If the entire time you're playing the game, you're thinking about the game the current was heavily inspired by (and about how much more fun you'd probably be having playing it instead), it's done a bad job "reminding" you about it, and is instead pretty heavily relying on it for structure to the detriment of its own storytelling. "DOOM clone" was initially a dismissive remark back after DOOM came out. Because it meant it was essentially shovelware that was made quickly with little creative input added to it, to capitalize on something hot. Eventually, once the format of the game evolved, it came to be known as a style of shooter, instead of exclusively something derogatory. Now, while Half-Life style gameplay isn't super hot at the moment, this game does check the box, at least according to Gman, of "not enough creative input" in order to differentiate itself from competitors (it's competitor being... well, Half-Life).
