ARS - In the first few moments of Duke Nukem Forever, your character pees in a urinal and then earns an achievement for reaching into a toilet and extracting a piece of human excrement. Why does the game reward you for doing this? I have no idea. It's not part of a joke or important to the story; the designers of the game apparently feel that you the player would miss out by not holding some poo in your virtual hand.
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.
Rampantly Offensive?
15 years ago it would simply have been called bad taste, you saw it and either laughed or didn't. Then you moved on.
Nobody took offense!
Offense was something that was reserved for the likes of Mary Whitehouse. http://en.wikipedia.org/wik...
Ouch. I'm starting to feel kinda bad for the makers now. I know Gearbox should have tried better if they wanted a better game, but I remember before the game out how Randy Pitchford genuinely thought they had made a good game. It must suck having so many people saying your work is actually shit.
Though the reviewer brings up a good point about the map. It's funny that a game that came out in 1993 is much more exploratory than one that came out in 2011.
