GameCentral writes "The most delayed title in video game history is finally on shop shelves so how does it fare against modern first person 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.
I didn't really like the game but this is a little too harsh.
You cant measure the game by today's standards. Think of it as a really old game you use to have but now have the chance for a play through.
Fuck this review and all these reviews the give these scores. I've been playing for a few hours and I'm having fun and I think its funny as hell. Yes the graphics aren't the best and there are some glitches but that doesn't warrant a 2/10.
I have actually been pleasantly suprised by how good the game is. I thought it was going to be Max Hazard terrible but it still has the charm. The Duke Nukem puzzles are awesome and there is some decent level design in the game.
Granted I am forcing every possible graphics advantage and am running a widescreen fov with dsiabled depth of field hack. The game looks pretty damn good with all of this enabled. The main thing that detracts from it is that hideous field of view and the depth of field effect is the worst implementation I have EVER seen.
I couldn't imagine playing this game on the console. Without mods and the speed of the mouse I don't see it being fun at all.
