Botchweed's Liam Griffiths writes - "It’s inevitable that a game with such a long, tortured history should meet with a somewhat mixed reception upon release. Forever is an undeniably average game, that isn’t anything new – even Duke 3d was average, though many don’t like to admit it – but it seems some reviews are giving out severely unfair scores for a game that is only mediocre-at-worst."
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.
Duke Nukem Forever is exactly what it's supposed to be....Duke Nukem 3D with better graphics. Nuff said.
Yea, he has got some pretty harsh scores.
There have been some pretty unprofessional reviews in the media about Duke Nukem. I have seen instances where reviewers have blatantly insulted people that like Duke Nukem Forever.
This game was never going to get a fair hearing from the gaming media. It is as if they have been waiting 14 years to be given the chance to slag it off. But then why should I be surprised with the gaming media these days all they ever seem to concentrate on is negativity.
I am not saying Duke Nukem Forever is a great game, it certainly has it's short comings. However it is a good game and will provide many hours of entertainment and fun as long as you don't take it seriously. It sure as hell is not as bad as these reviewers are trying to paint it.
The lowest I've seen is a 2.
A 2 really?
That signifies hate to me OR someone trying to compare it to COD or some such.
I figured the game wasn't going to get much better than a 7.5 or so and quite honestly I don't expect much from it but a 2?
I've played some pretty bad games,Turning Point: Fall of Liberty, Damnation, Terminator to name a few and I don't think I'd even give them a 2, a 4-5 maybe...
People need to look at it for what it is and leave it at that.
I dont get all the hate for this game, its awesome!
