"Now that Duke Nukem Forever developer 3D Realms appears to have become little more than vapor itself, the unreleased fruits of the game's art staff have been posted online, ready to be picked over."
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.
- At E3, some other company (Epic games, for example) decides to make a little video homage to 3D Realms
- Video starts, showing scenes from DN games and 3D Realms staff.
- The words : "We wish the 3D Realms team the best of luck" appear on screen
- BAM! Duke Nukem blows off the imaginary wall behind the text and says "What the hell are they talking about?", DN theme song starts playing
- AWESOMENESS AWESOMENESS AWESOMENESS AWESOMENESS
- DNF confirmed for Q4 2009, it was all just a hoax
- Gamers across the globe explode
Forever Forever and RIP!
Being known for being ahead of their time, 3D Realms have obviously struggled to try and keep that title but have been left behind every step of the way as the industry has exploded with production values over the last few years. A real shame. They should have swallowed their pride and made some Marketplace and PSN titles.
I think the screens look great, if a bit generic.
it looks really detailed but nothing we haven't seen before. 12 years for this? kinda weak imo.
