  • I’d argue both DMC and Castlevania has more depth than Duke.

    Def! I said that specifically.

    Of the two especially Castlevania offers much more depth & independence to it’s characters.

    Duke 1 & 2 didn’t even leave that much character impression on me as the 3(D) did (ok, nether did Keen tbh).

    Duke Nukem series will def be it’s own thing (like DMCs & Castlevanias), taking characters & the base premise & do its own thing. Same universe but unrelated to the games. Like comic books - the number of different ways Bruce’s parents get deaded is absurd :D (one time even due to Teen Titans actions).



  • Yes, but it’s a very good character & world/lore to build a story + the games themselves have a ton of situationally epic things in them to include or even build around them.
    (If Duke doesn’t shit up the throat of a decapitated alien we riot.)

    And tho there is more lore, it’s not like Castlevania and DMC are directly screen-playable, but they did a fairly good job (there are better showrunners in the genre, but I think Duky Nuky fits the chill & just barely enough complicated/just over the border of simplistic vibe of DMC show, and I’m sure won’t skip on epic cool shit, maybe even a decent joke or two … I dread the inevitably cringe oneliners).









  • Oh, yeah, I understood that - it was the fact that this is for the everyday “consumer” (for consumers) tech that inspired the comment, that regular folk will get up & personal with such tech soon & make it a regular mundane chore.

    I could think about how much electricity an electric plant produces (& couldn’t comprehend it in daily terms that would make sense), but sitting in a charging car you get a much clearer picture of what that means, of how much energy (and “how much driving”) is running through that cable every second, etc.
