The third in Croteam’s wild and fast-paced shooter series, Serious Sam 3: BFE is a glorious throwback to the golden age of first-person shooters where men were men, cover was for amateurs and pulling the trigger made things go boom.
It’s a prequel to the original sensation, taking place during the Earth’s final struggle against Mental’s invading legions of beasts and mercenaries.
But Serious Sam 3: BFE comes at a time where that old classic “fun” FPS genre has suffered a big setback in the form of one Duke Nukem. With 14 years of development Duke Nukem Forever fell flat on it’s face. It’s crude jokes, poor gameplay mechanics, ageing graphics and blatant rip-off of the top games of yester-year have drawn some harsh reviews.
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.
Even the first 2 serious same games are way better than DNF! Even Prey and The Darkness were way better than DNF!
I am very much looking forward to the next SS game bring on SS3! :-D
Sam is the Man.
And i bet he likes green eggs and ham.
