SR: I’ll be honest, even sitting in the middle of the Duke Nuke Forever both at PAX, playing the actual game with an actual controller on an actual screen, I still felt like maybe this was just a really elaborate practical joke on everyone. DNF couldn’t possibly be really coming out, right?
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.
this is sad, im kinda in the same shoes as this guy i was so young when i played it
I have a feeling this will be the case for the majority of people who play the game. 12 years is a long time and gaming has just moved beyond where it was then. Personally I think they should have left it dead or played the whole in development thing forever.
Of course, I speculate like everyone else until the game is released but I have a sneaking suspicion it will be an extremely underwhelming experience for most.
