IGN - The King returns in Duke Nukem Forever, and we're ready to celebrate the long awaited shooter with some gameplay commentary, Hail to the King baby.
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.
Sound like Ign hate the game, not even giving it a chance. So what if they had these puzzle elements, its not some mindless run and gun shooter like Call of Duty that relay heavy on script moments that take you out of the experience more than it leave you in. Duke Nukem is trying to bring back the old school gaming that we know an love, that's why its a much longer game than the standard shooter thats just 5 hours or 10 hours of gameplay. Not every game got to be 5 hours like Call of Duty. This is why Ign crapfest reviews develop before its release. We are just getting a early part of the review. He going probably give this game somewhere between a 6, 7, or 8. I just know it.
