What makes a particular gaming experience great is how it’s delivered to you, not just what ingredients you have stirring in the pot. There’s a reason why big ensemble Hollywood films can flop, it’s not just about the star power or the money being pumped in, it’s about the quality and precision of the choices that either succeed or fail to capture genuine emotions of excitement and curiosity.
Every musician should know that simply having a bunch of instruments or jam-mates won’t necessarily make you the next Pink Floyd. It’s more than just elements, it’s how it all comes together into one functioning piece. So when you have a game that’s had a successful predecessor, a big budget, a lot of production time, or what’s worse, more hype than tangible examples, a derailed sequel can leave players and fans disappointed or jaded.
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.
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.
