GameBlurb writes, "Last night on GameBlurb (((On Air))) we checked out the long awaited Duke Nukem Forever to see if the game could live up to 12 years of hype. We’ll in short, it didn’t, but to be honest we had some fun with The King. Sure the game has its fair share of issues such as ugly graphics, absurd storyline, janky collisions and other glitches…but even with all of its shortcomings I found myself having fun with it. I guess the reason for this is because I went into the game with very low expectations. It’s like going to see a B movie knowing what you are getting yourself into."
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.
Caught some of this stream last night and it was highly entertaining. While Duke might not be the game we all hoped for, it is still pretty cool that it was released in the first place. So I wonder if there will be more adventures for Duke in the future.
TRASH CANSSSS!
Still feels too little too late with this one. The edginess of the original Duke Nukem just can't be matched this day in age.
The game does look like it offers nothing but a fun time, blasting apart pig men and crazy aliens, but there is no way the game could have lived up to the hype, even if the Duke were completely re-invented while he was gone. It's a standard, no-frills FPS, I don't know what people really expected. Glad to see that some people are having fun with it rather than just destroying the game for not living up to their, completely ridiculous expectations.
