Looking Back At Duke Nukem: Forever

GameRave.com writes:

''Duke Nukem Forever, the game that acted as a punchline for years. It’s more than just a game, Duke Nukem Forever is truly a landmark in video game history…for the wrong reasons. Development hell is not exactly rare in any media, especially video games.''

A terrible game, but a fascinating case of how game development can go absolutely astray.

PixelGateUk3351d ago

I always see it as a historic piece, mainly how a game made for the late 90s became alien upon release in the 10's

Swiftfox3351d ago

The game we all played had zero in common with the various abandoned versions of the game developed previously. The game's single player itself was developed over a two year period (Starting in around 2008-2009) from scratch by Piranha Games using no existing assets from previous attempts. This information can be found in Duke Nuke'm Forever in the extra's section.

This and Aliens Colonial Marines were real stink bombs from Gearbox.

I found this game funny.

Which is what made it an enjoyable experience.

Technically terrible. But enjoyable nonetheless.

Considering they had to cobble all sorts of parts into a finished game, I thought it was ok and sort of a nostalgic look at old shooters.

God damn Megadeth Duke Nukem anthem is the best.

Snookies121344d ago

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.

Venoxn4g1343d ago

"so wrong yet so right"

Only a few will know what Im talking about lol :D

porkChop1386d ago

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.

ZycoFox1385d ago

Nerfed due to consoles.. and not the first time it has happened.

-Foxtrot1386d ago

Kind of amazing the difference a lighting engine makes

ZycoFox1385d ago

Same, the AI could be pretty dumb but the bosses were fun. I thought the levels (mostly) got better later in the game too.

XiNatsuDragnel1386d ago

Devs nerf a game man best quote I've ever heard.
