IGN compiled in an article what is known, what is not known and what they want from Duke Nukem Forever. Come get some:
"Is there really any point in joking anymore about how long this game has taken? It's been well over a decade now, and we're still as close to playing this furtive, elusive title as we ever have been. In fact, there have been many times when we've been a heck of a lot closer to seeing the final, definitive Duke Nukem Forever in our hands. That's the purpose of this feature – to take a stroll down the memory banks and look at what was. And there was a lot. With the weight of a decade's worth of expectations resting on 3D Realms' shoulders, now more than ever it's critical that the team delivers on its promises."
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.
eitherway, im really looking forward to this. DN games have always been a good laugh to play!
The longer it takes for them to release the game the greater the expectations for the game will be and that my not be a good thing. People may expect way more that can be delivered.
It would be great if they will include the original Duke Nukem 3D in it.
mighty_douche, I know what you're talking about. I really hope they will do a good job at porting the game to both Xbox360 and PS3 consoles.
