Duke Nukem Forever promised so much back when it was first announced that it was going to redefine the first-person genre just as the original had.
Let's face it, Duke is a cool guy with cool gadgets and big guns. What isn't there to like about him?
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.
that name..
I don't really care anymore. It's been in development now for nearly 10 years, probably even more, so graphicaly is can't be up to scratch, plus gameplay wise it will be poor compared to Crysis, Bioshock, Halo, Call or Duty etc.
I hold no hope for this whatsoever!
Even when the other Duke Nukem games were out, I never liked them as much as Quake, Unreal, etc., but at that time FPS games were fairly few and far between. In today's saturated FPS market, can it compete with F.E.A.R., Far Cry, Half Life 2? Very doubtful, but we shall see. It has been in development for seven years, after all....
I use to be a fan of this franchise but I got over it, I've been playing Goldeneye, Perfect Dark, Halo and Halo 2 for the last 8 years!
give it a shot at least its comin out let the lost classics have one more moment of glory....
