GamePro: At long last, Duke Nukem Forever is here. Unfortunately, it's still stuck in 1996, and will undoubtedly disappointment fans awaiting Duke's comeback as well as mystify newer generations of gamers who are used to a certain level of quality in their shooters.
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.
im impressed with reviewers that blame a game because have a retro style stucked in 1996, this game was designed to be stucked in that era., im very pleased with the game, and cannot be reviewed because the problems between the development process, its a miracle we can finally enjoy the game. im sold by this game, maybe not a its fully price of 59.99 but with a price drop it will be perfect.
Wow Duke nukem gets a 3/5 and infamous 2 gets a 3.5/5. To each his own but, my friend bought this game because he loved duke nukem back in the day and even he thinks its horrible. I also played it and i would have to agree with his assessment.
