GP Editor, Marshall Henderson writes, "as expected, people swarmed like locusts when Duke Nukem Forever was released. There have been people lambasting it, people apologizing for it, people deconstructing it, and people actively not giving a crap about it. When it initially came out, I fell into the last category. Having never really bothered with the Duke Nukem series, I didn't really care one way or another when it came out. However, I felt that I had to play the game, because "One could not be a gamer in this world without consuming that and having that experience." After having fought my way through the game, I can safely say that anyone who says that Duke Nukem Forever is part of gaming history is probably right. In much the same way as the Armenian genocide is a part of history, or the way that the Great Irish Famine is part of history, Duke Nukem Forever will probably always be part of gaming history. There are a lot of people to blame, it was probably preventable, and the world would likely be a better place without it. So what's the break-down of the game? Move down to the next section and see."
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 played and finished the game. Still scratching my head how reviewers think it deserves a 3.5/10 or lower?! I mean what makes it that bad? It would have to be a broken ass game that barely made it out of the alpha stage to receive such ass scores.
No sense of humor prudes! 8.0/10
