John Dudebro Is Coming

As much as quasi-retro games have become stale, this doesnt look that bad.

...its free. Why the fuck are people complaining?

Because they've got nothing better to do. Welcome to the internet ;p

I hate it when people say that; it's like you enjoy the connotation of the Internet as a cesspool for snap judgements and trolls. "Welcome to the Internet?" Damn you, and all the snarky trogladites perpetuating this deplorable stereotype.

@Rxanadu: Sorry I insulted the internet. But how am I wrong? I like to complain, everyone does. And most people do it on the internet because they can always find someone who cares. I'm not saying everyone's like that. Calm down...

Haha. This looks awesome.

Lol, Neogaf.

They make every other forum look bad.

Anyone else remember that Duke Nukem started as a side scrolling platformer shooter?

Looks like the first two will be okay, the third one will be spectacular, and the rest are going to be shit.

Which one was the Game Boy Color Duke Nukem? That was pretty boss too.

Will this game have a bromance option? I don't really want to play brolo.

This looks incredibly stupid - I thought this game was just a joke.

The high-res pixel art looks great though.

Hell yea, GAF represent. rudds is ready,

BTW, oh so smarter then the internet person. Use go-ogle next time. troglodytes are the ancient people a trogladite is a female who has been generously whipped with the ugly stick. Which you just might be. Spell check dawg. Spell check. It's the internet :D

@AlexanderSheen: That was intended to be a humorous comment! Jokes, on the Internet? I never!

I've played Katawa, it's good but I was kinda disappointed with the quality of a couple of the routes. It felt extremely uneven. I don't exactly subscribe to the notion that it creates a torrent of "feels" inside anyone who plays it, but it's a decent little thing. Especially given the years and effort that went into it. No, I don't care that 4chan folks made it. More power to them.

Comparing the two is dumb, yes. That wasn't really serious, although Dudebro is undeniably more up my street. I would hope Dudebro is a more coherent production, and this trailer certainly gives that impression. That's why I made that comment, comparing the two things directly is asinine but you can at least compare the quality of their productions. I feel, anyway.

Sorry about that. Sometimes it's hard to distinguish a joke from a serious comment, because, you know, the Internet. And I'm pretty sure that there are people out there who are thinking that way, that's why I thought your comment was serious. So again, I apologize for jumping the gun on this one.

@Gordy: Yes! It is exactly what Duke Nukem should have been. How could anybody possibly hate this?

I hate when people try to pigeon-hole the internet. The internet is becoming all things to all people, and to try and argue that the internet is all a certain way is a ridiculous statement. If you don't like one small section of it then find one that you do.

holy

shit

I love you, internet.

Game actually looks pretty badass O__O

Does anyone else feel like breaking something whenever they see someone/something use the word Dudebro. People can fuck right off.

+999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999999.999 AWESOME

That barscene reminded me of Bayonetta. Thats a good thing.

@Rxanadu said:

So, where's our game about Team Brad, Abe Lincoln, and Kleptock fighting against NARCs?

Giant Bomb community: I am disappoint.

This. So many god damn talented people here.

Seems like a cool game. Shame that neoGAF is a bunch of elitist idiots who think they're god's gift to gaming.

<3 NeoGAF. As DJ Khaled once said, "WE DA BEST!".

Duebro II theme here!

GB Color was also a side-scroller in the mold of the originals.

I feel like probably the few talented people who are actually making this game might be being shortchanged by crediting it to neogaf. This is but wild speculation though.

Dat theme music.

The part where he shoots the rocket an jumps on it to get a thing excited me too much because it made me think of Mega Man

I actually find myself really liking that music.

That's what happens with all such communities. SomethingAwful, reddit, neogaf, they all think they're the shit. Instead they're just shit. Or alternatively the same shit.

WHY IS OUR GAME NOT FEATURED YET, HUH JEFF?

I was working on an engine that resembles what you've got cept mine was 2D last year.

Eh, I chuckled a few times. Looks like it can be a fun distraction.

Unlike us. Now we're the best community out there, bar none.

Catchy song.

A side scrolling shooter with 8-bit graphics. How do you come up with such amazing and original ideas neoGAF!?

this game sure looks hella ironic....

I wonder if there's an insane amount of inside jokes.

imma buy dis

That looks kinda cool duder. Now we're going to steal all your assets!

A missile platform? Sounds like its straight up dog time!

Yep, just what I contemplated adding. It's great to be part of this community but we're definitely nothing "special" and opinions might be similar about GB. Minus the elitism, perhaps?

I did actually, it "just" took 2 years for them to approve it. Which just shows how stupid that forum is. Regardless, you don't even need it, since you can read the inane drivel that gets posted there without being registered. Nowadays I just lurk the Hires screenshots thread to get some cool shots and don't even bother with anything else.

I second @Rowr about directly associating this game to GAF. "NeoGAF presents"?? As soon as I saw that, I was frowning.

@paulunga GB isn't the end-all, be-all community, but it's a nice site to hang out and you don't get the whole elitism / self-entitlement that goes around GAF or SA.

...another indie 2d sidecroller... *yawn*

Great song, but is it really the time to resurrect rap-rock?

So the game doesn't look that interesting, but I'm really just looking forward to the soundtrack.

So they're demeaning Dudebros...... with a game that glorifys Dudebros. Hmmmmmm.

If Michael Pacter isn't the end boss, they did it wrong.

I might have to take back every bad thing I've said about NeoGAF.

All I can say about this thread is that it is a mixture of people with a lack of humour, and a bit of green cheese.

I think it is pretty obvious that this is a parody, not something to be taken seriously. I think it is quite amusing that aspect of the game seems to have gone over people's heads here.

look, everyone "gets" Dudebro™ — My Shit Is Fucked Up So I Got to Shoot/Slice You II: It’s Straight-Up Dawg Time.

it just isn't funny, honestly the whole indie action-farce thing is really passe in 2012. I've played enough ironic games for one lifetime.

Yeah, that's pretty much where I stand. I get the joke, but in a sidescrolling retro shooter, it looks like there won't be a lot of room for story/exposition/writing of any sort. So the humour won't have a lot of chances to come through in the first place, on top of it already being overused humour. I assume 90% of your time with the game will just be so-so sidescrolling retro shooter gameplay, which is a genre that I honestly think has aged terribly, despite how much people say they think Contra is still awesome.

Is that Soul Creator rapping? You killed it son!
