GameDynamo - "Unfortunately, many titles fail to live up to the hype that their gung-ho advertising department kicks up. As a result, the games often end up feeling as empty and unfulfilling, much like a celebrity marriage."
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.
My Disappointing game is Resistance 3. Insomniac Games said it would include the best of both Resistance 1 and 2.(and it looked good too) But then I played it.
This guy must be new to gaming, ever heard of E.T.?
Advent Rising for the Xbox!
So much hype for this dam game! I'm talking Trilogy Hype. Advent Rising already had 2 sequels in the works. Friggin previews made it seem more epic than a George Lucas trilogy. I'm talking major production here then the game came out and eventually BOMBED! Totally repetitive and stupid.
Strider, Sega Genesis
first 8Mb cartridge and i paid $79.99 at Toys R Us and got home and beat it in like 2 hours (if that long). Great graphics, fun game, 2 hours, $80 bucks, and No Happy ending!!
E.T., Atari 2600
we know the story, Atari made more E.T. cartridges than they did Atari 2600's and the game was made in like a week to cash in on the movie and totally SUCKED! Worst game EVER and i got it as a gift! Used socks would of been better than E.T.
State of Emergency, Playstation 2
This is why I hate Gamestop and game Magazines. Magazines hyped up this dam Rockstar game like it was the second coming of GTAIII! Everyone wanted it, everyone had it on pre-order except me! I waited until release day to get it and the Gamestop dude lied and said he played it and it was just like GTAIII. I Bought it, it sucked Donkey balls, got like $5 trade in Value 3 hours later. I knocked over all the anime figurines on my way through the store to make that lying sack of sht make up for the money i wasted.
Halo Combat Evolved PC
Halo Xbox was good for a console game. So with all the hype and Fanboys running around with tears in their eyes screaming "Master Chief" like 11 year old girls at a Nsync concert I decided to get it for my PC. Halo PC was absolute sht!! Good thing i didn't pay for it but i was still disappointed.
Where's Too Human ?
