3D Realms may sadly be no more, but the Duke Nukem Forever pre-alpha assets continue to flow out of the former studio.
The latest is this three minute video, featuring not only Maya animation clips, but actual in-game gameplay footage of the title. The video comes courtesy of former 3D Modeler Bryan Brewer, who has updated his online portfolio in hopes of locating new employment. The video highlights the various completed character animations and assorted in-game environments, not to mention an insane arsenal of weapons and absurdly large-scale boss battles.
Please be aware, the video should be considered "not work safe" for language and nudity.
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.
Anyone notice that Duke Nukem Forever has more life in its death then it does when the company was actually alive? The last two days showed more stuff then the last twelve years.
I highly agree about the comment, if this was a publicity stunt.
Yeah but just think how big of a publicity stunt it would be for ms or sony to announce that the have save 3d realms at E3 all it would take probably is to give them half of the royalties they would make from game sales in advance but no dought they will spend the money instead on gimmicky self promotion instead of something that will have an impact on the community, without realising that something like would make more headline and impact on peoples psyche
This is probably one of MS big announcement at E3
