OH Sh*t!!! HYPE!!
Nice!
Color me intrigued.
You have my attention.
and just today I started playing
Duke Nukem Forever. this is the 1st Duke Nukem game for me and I am loving it. I know many people hate it but whatever. I’m planing to play all original
Duke Nukem
Honestly man the problems that dunke nukem forever has is that it did not live up to the trailers back in the 2000s, those levels are not in the game and that overall the game is pretty clunky when it comes to how combat feels. Only 2 weapons..fixed with patches, health runs down wayyy too fast so you have to increase your EGO by keep interacting with stuff and overall the combat is annoying, combine that with linear levels and no keycards as well some levels that you are shrinked and you have to explore the levels and do unconventional stuff as well as a horrible last chapter.
Its not garbage but could really use some improvements, it feels like Gearbox did not touch it at all, likey they didnt even tested it or added a few levels just to make it a better package. Anyway the latest edition called world tour is the best in terms of how it runs and controls plus content. Sadly no duke carribean expansion.
It’s ridiculous to blame Gearbox for that. I mean, the game was in development hell for more than a decade at 3DRealms. It’s their fault alone if the game wasn’t good enough. I bet that If they hadn’t been forced to a release date, the guys at 3D Realms would still be working on it (probably thinking about changing the graphics engine once more).
DNF had big shoes to fill coming after Duke Nukem 3D with a lot of people and it was considered a failure in that regards. It was also caught up in Development Hell for many, many years and people were already p*ssed that it took so long to come out.
For me, even though it had it’s failings I had some fun with the game and the DLC The Doctor Who Cloned me. I did pick up the game and DLC on a sale for $5 for both of them though. I wouldn’t recommend paying the regular price $30 for the game and DLC.
Looks awesome, if you cant wait try AMC TC from moddb, i couldnt find infromation on who these people are but judging by the fact that most of duke 3d build engine mods are made by the same people id say they are in fact the same people who made AMC TC and WG realms.
Those weapon sprites look great!
Looks good. Do yourself a favor, google ‘WGRealms 2: Siege Breaker’, download and play that. Thank me later.
Those screenshots look nice…I am excited to see what they can do with the engine!
Cool!
