Nick Gearhart: "Duke Nukem first appeared back in 1991 on MS-DOS and has since become quite the popular video game icon. This past month we finally saw the release of Duke Nukem Forever. After 15 years in production it was expected to be a huge success and was hoped to be one of the best games of the year. After receiving multiple negative reviews, the question has to be asked, will Duke be relevant in the future?"
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.
Duke is sexy
He can if the next game is done right and in less than 15 years.
I think Duke could still be good... I think getting Forever out the door was the best thing, put that behind us and focus on making a good game again, in a sensible development time, without switching developers.
Who cares its trash, We need Borderworlds.
Make the next game better and of course.
