The team behind the Duke Nukem Forever Restoration Project has released a first slice gameplay trailer for it. This trailer will give you an idea of what the team has managed to create so far.
For those unaware, Duke Nukem Forever Restoration Project is a restoration project for the leaked 2001 version of Duke Nukem Forever. The team will attempt to recreate what 3D Realms showcased in its “fake” E3 2001 trailer.
The team is currently focused on finishing the polish for the first chapter of the game, ‘High Stakes, Lady Killer’. Moreover, it is working on a plethora of render and engine fixes alike; with many major and small fixes already developed, such as a proper ‘hair fix’ and progress on an entirely new renderer for the game in DirectX 9.
Now what’s cool here is that the DNFRP team has already managed to restore much of the content seen in the E3 trailers and promotional material. Not only that, but it’s working on an all-new story to bridge the gaps between what we know about the game and what we don’t.
Lastly, the First Slice Version of Duke Nukem Forever Restoration Project will release on December 21st. This version will feature the first chapter (which will have 9 levels). Naturally, we’ll be sure to share the download link once it becomes available.
Enjoy the trailer, and stay tuned for more!

Those particle effects and gibs still look freaking amazing! Whoever did those definately knew what he’s doing! ?
Either they are really good at trailers, or this looks like it’s going to be 1000x better than the steaming turd that Gearbox published. I’m very much looking forward to trying the sequel that Duke Nukem 3D truly deserved.
It’s not too hard to believe that a group of dedicated and skilled fans could produce a better game than the hacks at Gearbox.
I think the one Gearbox released is very underrated. I had a lot of fun with it. But yeah, this will likely be better.
I honestly can’t remember any other game that I’ve played where it was so underwhelming and mediocre that there was just no joy whatsoever in playing the game. I had to force myself to play through the entire thing, and the only reason I did that was because I paid money for it and didn’t want it to be a waste.
Edit: I should probably mention that I purchased the game years after its release, and I didn’t go into it with high expectations due to all of the things I had previously heard about it.
From what I heard, the Discord people working on this are incompetent drama wh*res, I wouldn’t expect much unfortunately.
Doesn’t matter, we now have the editing tools, and someone out there, someday, if this doesn’t prove fruitful, will make something worthy. Looks pretty dope to me, though I am more interested in 1:1 level creations of original DN3d in this new engine. And let us remember, not to always believe what we hear. If you don’t have personal experience working with these people and their projects, doesn’t matter how the internet paints them.
Duke Nukem Forever used Unreal Engine 1 (a byproduct of how long it was in development). I think 3DRealms made a lot of changes to the engine over the years to add new features and such, however the team working on the open source version of the original BUILD engine (EDuke32) has also had plenty of time to make changes to it so who knows if the tech in DNF’s engine is actually more advanced than what you can play Duke Nukem 3D in today.
Nice. The trailer looks dope ! Definitely keeping an eye on this project.
Damn, this looks nice and thanks for the heads up… Keep hope alive!https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/7babaace300dd20a8b4855b57161dbd2b564d6f709e2691f03ed08bdea0f79d1.gif
KICKA$$ TRAILER!
Now, this is something to get excited about! DNF 2001 restored should be AMAZING!
I really tried to beat the DNF that we got released to us, but I just couldn’t. Too much change, they sold us beef, but we obviously weren’t at Wendy’s. We got Buns.
god forbid people have any fun…
I would give this a try since I enjoyed Duke Nukem 3d back then. but the series has died with forever and his voice actor being a liberal scumbag.
After reading your article, I have some doubts about gate.io. I don’t know if you’re free? I would like to consult with you. thank you.
