Duke Nukem Forever is a product developed out of love for an audience, rather than an industry. While it may try to appeal to a more mainstream demographic than it’s predecessor, with the size of the market expanding so has the need to meet their demands, and there are many fans of modern FPS titles that’ll feel like a fish out of water in Duke Nukem Forever’s cocktail of logical puzzles and pathfinding.
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.
Graphics 6 (fair enough)
Sound 5 (should get a 7)
Originality 5 (should be 7-8)
Gameplay 9 (5 maybe 6)
Overall 86% (WTF!?)
Overall it should be a 6 or at most 7.
