For us it was more of an exercise of taking a bunch of awesome stuff and fitting it together into one really cool game.ĭO: How much game are we looking at here? 20+ hours? MN: Heh, well I dunno, it definitely wasn’t finished.

So I think in that sense we really came in and fit it all together as a complete game where before it was just a series of vignettes and cool moments.ĭO: So was the game almost done at 3Drealms? But yeah, Gearbox is really good at producing and putting games together and pacing them and making sure all the story works. It’s funny that we’re only playing 15 minutes at PAX, that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of this game. I mean, there’s a lot, a lot of game there. MN: Well, I don’t think we’re adding a whole lot content-wise because after 15 years there is plenty of content. Pursue the perfect game, and we never could get there.ĭO: So how much of an actual transition was there? How much of the game is their game (3D Realms) and how much of the game is your game?

Version of the game at E3 '98 I think, after just 3-4 months of So, in the beginning,ĭuke was being made using the Quake engine, and we first demo'ed this Out and set the new bar for 3D engines, we didn't want to make DNF inĪnything less than the best engine possible.
ThatĮngine had a lifetime window of only 2-3 years, and after Quake came I don't think we ever started the game on the Build engine.
