DasReviews: "Let’s be honest. What most Duke Nukem fans want to know is the history behind the development of Duke Nukem Forever. Even though there will be a book with the ‘Balls Of Steel Edition’ that will contain all of Duke’s history, 2K Games released via IGN the first video part of Duke’s history..."
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.
Hail to the KING baby! :p
Oh man I remember playing the first Duke Nukem game on an old computer a friend gave to me a long time ago. I didn't play it when it came out because I was born in late '91 but it was probably sometime around early 2000's. Unfortunately I never finished the game and haven't played a Duke Nukem game since. I have fond memories about it though. Hopefully they release the first game on the PSN some day. I'd love to play it again.
