Excerpt:
"Duke Nukem is one of those game characters who you just can’t help but love. He’s got the attitude, the babes, and the guns. He’s got a no lose policy, and he’ll take on alien scum without anything more than his own fists if necessary. We’ve been waiting for fifteen years since the original concept was brought to life, and Gearbox software had finally brought Duke Nukem back into our lives. For some of us, who have followed the development faithfully, it really did feel like forever.
Crouch, Jump, Strafe. Playing Duke Nukem Forever (DNF) plays just as Duke3D did back so many years ago. Playing DNF is like riding a bike, simple to just pick up and play, exactly as if you just put down the controller for Duke3D yesterday. I’m happy that at least they didn’t screw up the controls."
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.
