SKOAR! write-"Post 3D Realms demise numerous artists, modelers and animators have been posting their works on the project online, but no entity till now has disclosed the nature of platforms the game was being developed for."
Duke Nukem Forever originally began its life as a sidescroller instead of a shooter back in 1996, and that canceled version has just been leaked.
Very cool, but i don't know how real this is... I'll check it out later to find out.
Duke Nukem Forever, the troubled FPS from Gearbox and 3D Realms, has been restored to more traditional 90s shooter thanks to a sweeping “remaster” mod
kinda of a misleading title.
Mod features:
Sprinting removed and faster player movement
Jump height increased
Swim speed is much faster
Player can now hold breath underwater for 45 seconds instead of 15
Weapon rebalance and screen shake when shooting removed
2/4 weapon limit completelly removed
Quicksaves (F5 by default)
Depth of Field removed and new post processing effects
Driving sections are now in first person perspective
yw.
It is pretty amazing, I remember being so hyped that they covered the Duke theme back when it happened haha. I still quite enjoyed Forever though personally.
It is great, you should check out Eric Calderone - Duke Nukem meets metal .. thats proper as well
Duke Nukem Forever, the infamous and controversial FPS from 3D Realms, apparently looked much better before launch, as modders discover various cut features
Wow, that advanced lighting makes a huge difference to the visuals. I get that Gearbox tried to slap everything together and release a finished product. But it seems like they cut out a lot of content that would have made the experience more enjoyable. That's a shame.
Same, the AI could be pretty dumb but the bosses were fun. I thought the levels (mostly) got better later in the game too.
the King baby...seriously hope it gets picked up by someone, looked promising for 10 darn years...
Wouldn't be surprised if it ends up in Microsoft / Sony press conference. I have a weird suspicion that Microsoft brought rights to publishing the game, and toke it in house for development. This is the type of game you would expect on the X360. But then again, EA might have got a hold of it. Who knows..?!?
"Duke Nukem Forever Was Being Developed For The P.C/X360"
This has been known literally for years it was on the wiki page forever.
Edit: In fact it still is.
I never was introduced to this series, but I am a huge fan of the humor that seems to be present in previous games in the series. I watched some gameplay released after the game was killed, and it looked nearly done. Ghostbusters got picked up, and I hope this does too. Whether it be sony or microsoft, or even a Ubisoft or EA; it would be an injustice to the brand and the people who put everything into getting the game this far only to see it collapse because of the present economic situation.
You know what I think would be hilarious?
If Nintendo bought the rights.
