It's been several months since the once-thought-dead Duke Nukem Forever came back from the grave and was released by Gearbox to some heavily mixed reviews. Now Gearbox co-founder Brian Martel has spoken out about the problems he saw in the reviews and why he thinks some people were disappointed with Duke's return.
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.
Listen, Gearbox. Duke Nukem Forever was terrible. Terrible. It was reviewed fairly, and should never be mentioned in the same sentence as half-life unless the words "this is completely the opposite of" are in the same sentence.
how could you compare that pos to half-life?
Hold on, hold on, they may have a point....
They are both FPS games and Gearbox finished off one game and ported the other to PS2, thus finishing it.
The similiarities are endless.
No I'm pretty fuckin sure I'd rather play through Half Life 1 now than the abomination Gearbox shat out.
It is shit now, and would have been shit back then too.
lol!
