What the hell. Duke has hundreds of levels going back to the 1990s, many of them still standing up just fine to scrutiny (I have been playing them over the last month or two). Decent amount of recent stuff, too.

Aye.
Wang's the underserved one here. I think at least one part of the reason why is visual and thematic - SW isn't as distinct from Duke as Blood is. If one wished to do a detailed urban or industrial-themed map in Build, one could just as well do it for more popular Duke (and Duke could accommodate that Eastern theme just fine too, if one wished to work with it specifically). Altho SW does have its own thematic uniqueness and the space for its expansion.
It's a shame as I do love SW's arsenal. The sheer crunchy satisfaction of cutting goons down with Wang's katana, so good.

yeah Jon St. John is a huge SJW faggot, it's why I absolutely cringe when I see people put him in games.. He's the new Postal guy in Postal 4 and his presence makes me not want to play it.

Doom also has thousands of shovelware levels from 1995-1997, how does that make any difference?

Arkane should be so lucky to have someone as good as Skacky, to be honest... Their games have been sliding downhill ever since Dishonored 2.

Throwing out a totally random and unlikely guess: Raven Software (who, surprisingly, still has a lot of the people from Outcast/Academy) doing a Jedi Knight 4 on OpenJK since the new bosses at MS are letting them be something besides a CoD QC sweatshop again.
Every game with a living modding scene has hundreds of poorly made or newbie effort levels recreating the builder's house, high school, or whatnot. They also have a whole lot of great ones. From the Duke mapping scene, stuff by BillyBoy, Suppressor or Pascal Rouaud represents the original fanmade classics, while the community build projects and full episodes represent the mature creators of the last few years. It is not as utterly great as the Blood mapping community, but it is a highly accomplished group.

I want to like Wrath, but something about it feels off to me, and the enemy placement is pretty bullshit.
There's a level where if you go up the stairs is spawns a multi-faced fucker right next to you that takes half your health in a single bite, and about 4 more of them. You cannot possibly react to that without dying or taking heavy damage. I stopped playing after that.

So, according to their latest update, at least a portion of their bestiary is still at the concept art stage and, oh, E1's boss is getting some textures on him!
Bloody hell.
Bloody hell.
What if they aren't happy with some of the assets and they decide to ditch them and itinerate until they got the right one? How much of the current work won't make it to the final game?

Game's never coming out, folks.

That wouldn’t happen because it would be too awesome. Imagine if we could get a real genuine Star Wars FPS on a Quake engine again.

At this point, you have to wonder how much of even the first episode's remaining maps are anywhere close to being done. For if they were I could almost see the game's scale being cut down to just one hub, and nu-3DR releasing it as such with some apologies. I understand that something like that happened with Hellbound, one of the games from the recent HB FPS bundle, where the dev ran out of funds and released the game with just one episode out of promised three.

Easier when you're a random dev. Much worse when you're trying to act like you're old 3DR and are announcing new huge projects.

The question is who if anyone is working on this right now... People are joking about them still working on concept art but what if even that is just whoever if tasked with these updates just posting the art done years ago bc they really have nothing new to show whatsoever.
You must be p proud of that comment bc you posted the exact same response to the exact same post of mine on the exact same page of this thread.
