To my memory of playing these older games, Duke3d was the first game
to succeed in outdoing id in every area, from a far better engine to
the more subtle and better storyline that the better engine allowed.
I don't mean this to be dismissive of the incredible rush when I first
played doom shareware.

I don't think there'll ever be a moment in gaming that'll equal that
rush.  There's no question that id dominated the FPS scene for some
time.

I can't think of any rational reason why a developer or producer would
foist the Duke Forever travesty on us (fans) in lieu of a sequel to
the original Duke.  It doesn't make sense to me.

The missed opportunity can't be recaptured.

IMO Jack of Far Cry fame is a true successor of Duke, and Jack is
better in having an ingenious and wierdly optimistic wit.  I also like
how the personality of Jack is given depth thru' his relationship with
Val. 

I can't understand why Ubisoft gave Far Cry 2 it's name, because it
isn't a sequel to Far Cry.  The game has no relationship whatsoever to
Far Cry.  The only way I can figure it is that when human beings do
things, not everything makes sense, even when successful.  

I would like to see a game come out which is to Far Cry what Far Cry
is to Duke, and what Duke is to Doom.  That not being likely, I'd be
happy if there' were a sequel in the same spirit  as Far Cry.
