The big question on everyone's mind is of course, will the game be a complete steaming pile of out-dated jokes, average shooter gameplay and a mish-mash of levels, enemies and ideas from 13 years worth of development, or will Gearbox somehow turn whatever Forever is now in to something that actually matters in this modern era of games where shooters have evolved to be more sophisticated.
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 dont think this game can live up to the standards of this gen...but will be loved by old school gamers
I really don't understand all the hate for this game. People hate on it because it never came out, now its coming out and they're still hating. Gearbox makes some amazing games, I'm actually glad they are the developers behind it. After there newest IP Borderlands, Gearbox has proved it can make creative, high quality FPS. I have no doubt in my mind Gearbox will make this an awesome game.

This game will be good, I have no doubt. Gearbox makes good shooters.
Anyone putting it down didn't try it at PAX, and is just trying to get hits.
Im not setting my expectations to be delievered or underdelivered... Im just sooo happy to see it's coming!
and to think this game cannot live up to standards this gen? thanks to Sony and their diehard fans... standards are outlandish and mis-representative of what other devs/consoles NEED to do. This game looks mighty damn fine with the engine it's using. Unreal Engine is what this gen has been built upon and IS INDEED still a next-gen game engine. Not every game needs to look like a PS3 exclusive or PC game... to be worth playing. Im still damn fine with the Unreal Engine!
Graphics aren't worth s#!t if the gameplay don't match the visuals!
