From ShockblastMedia.com: "It’s been 13 years in the making, but finally the Duke has come back to your console, baby. After watching my Boston Bruins punch those bitches from Vancouver in the mouth once again to force a deciding Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Finals, I found myself passing my local Gamestop around midnight last night and, surprise surprise, I saw people inside and a sign that said open. Since I was there and all jacked up on excitement, I said why the hell not and ignored the universal panning that has been surrounding the release of Duke Nukem Forever. Surely they jest I thought to myself. It couldn’t be nearly as bad as they say it is, could it? After digging into an hour of the game last night, I can safely confirm that yes, yes it is as bad as they are all saying."
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.
