Well it's been 14 years since Duke Nukem 3D and with a few other Duke inspired games thrown in to satiate gamers thirst, it's only now that 3D Realms' wise cracking first person shooter gets a true sequel. Its development path has been steeped in trauma and even the teams working on the game have changed hands a few times, which brings us bang up to now with Gearbox Software finishing what 3D Realms started way back when. Duke Nukem Forever became the butt of many an industry joke and fair play, it deserved it. Now we're in 2011 and the game has finally been released the question remains, are you a big enough Duke fan to enjoy what's presented, or have you grown up a little in the 14 years, and have been spoiled by big budget shooters of our current climes?
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.
Incredible.
No way does this game deserve such a score. What are they on crack?
I'm proud
Holy crap did you read some of this review? Forget crack, they are smoking some new improved sh**.
Looks like some site is trying to stay on the good side with 2K PR after that threat made about being banned from review copies lolz
