"Duke Nukem is a series that has historically gone for the jugular in both content and explicit material. When Duke Nukem 3D was released more than a decade ago, parents' groups and the media demonized the game as yet another video game menace responsible for deteriorating the minds of corruptible youth. When I had the chance to play through the first ninety minutes of the long-awaited sequel, Duke Nukem Forever, I couldn't help but think about what the people who demonized the game so long ago would think if they saw the Duke now. If you were worried that Duke Nukem would be a watered down, less caustic version of himself in his much-anticipated return, then concern yourself no longer. The King is back, and he's in top form."
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.
And so the reviews begin. This is one game I do not even need to read about. I loved Duke and was probably the age as most readers are now when he was king on the PC. Gonna be a great romp.
What used to be cutting edge and funny well over a decade ago is not just tired and sad.....
