It's the headline everybody wanted to read.
Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford has just confirmed that development on Duke Nukem Forever is complete. The title's being "polished" and will be released in 2011.
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.
'complete' doesnt work with this game i cant believe it but HELL YEH
be funny if it got mediocre reviews
Finally done, hell yeah. Watching the stream right now, looks fun.
Nevermind this 2011 stuff, if the game is done throw it up on Steam so I don't have to wait!
finaly after reading about duke nukem forever in like 1998 i can now finaly get the game iv been wanting for over 10 years :D it will probably end up shit but i dont care im getting it !
i have a feeling this game is gonna get a whole lot of low review scores. purely based that reviewers will be judging it on the development time it took to complete this game. you will probably read reviews along the lines of "we waited this long and for what? its mediocre at best. lacking originality, graphics seem dated, blah blah blah..." it goes on. but il be getting this game. if it sucks so be it, but il definitely be making my own review score on this one.
