I've been toying around with a fun idea in my head for awhile. You know
how Sega has a "Fighter's Megamix" where the VF2 and Fighting Vipers
characters are in one package? I was thinking that you people could try
something like that.
Basically, it would include Duke Nukem and Lo Wang into a "greatest hits"
level collection. Each character would only be able to use their particular
weapons and powerups - so you can see just what is more useful, Holodukes or
Smoke Bombs, or whether a Shrinker beats out the rail gun.
As for the levels, they would be favourite, deathmatch-oriented levels such
as LA Rumble and (at least I think so) Zilla Construction.
Of course, this creates an interesting problem: RAM needs. You would have
to have a lot of sprites and sounds from each. But given the fact that even
Shadow Warrior can run on as little as 9 MB of RAM, and it needs 16, that
isn't that much of an issue.
My only real question is this: who would work on it? I imagine you guys
are polarized on either Duke Nukem Forever or Prey (or both!), and I know how
much you people would like to get those out. Conversely, this "3DR Megamix"
may not take that much effort beyond picking sprites, levels and successfully
play-balancing the two heroes. Think of it as a somewhat-easier Plutonium
Pak.
