![]() It’s also sad that the company borrowed the worst features of our modern day first-person shooters. Did ‘Duke Nukem 3D’ restrict your weapon arsenal to two weapons? Did ‘Duke Nukem 3D’ limit your rocket launcher to five rockets? Was there a checkpoint saving system instead of a proper save/load mechanic? Could Duke regenerate his health? Did it have QTE’s? Seriously, guys, what has happened? It’s sad but the truth is that 3D Realms tried to bring Duke to modern age, and that didn’t work out. Although some might say that its gameplay deserved to remain the same, I really have to wonder. Moving on to its gameplay, we can immediately notice that things are not as ideal as we’d hoped to. Apart from these, all other special effects are good but nothing worth writing home about. If there is one thing that tries to save the day, this is definitely the reference to all other well-known franchises, like Halo or Half-Life. Generally speaking, the game feels soulless. The same applies to all other characters. Where is the passion that was obvious in the voice acting of Duke Nukem 3D? John’s voice act is cold and soulless. John was so bored during his voice recording. However, these little touches won’t be enough to win both old-school fans of Duke Nukem and all those newcomers.Īnd we really have to wonder why John St. Thankfully, the body awareness is great, there is a nice dismemberment system, there is limited destructibility and the game features the best use of SSAO. And we were really disappointed with the absence of some effects that would add to the IQ and atmosphere of the game, like soft particles. This is by far the worst blurriness effect we have ever seen. There are occasions where you literally can’t see anything at all. The biggest gripe we had, however, with Duke’s latest adventures, is the horrible Depth Of Field effect that was used. The game uses an advanced version of the Unreal 2.5 Engine and features a lot of low-resolution textures. Those interested can take a look at our Performance Analysis. Technically, the game is average at best. After shouting that he has some ‘Baaaaaaaaaaaalls of Steel’, Duke gives the finger, and the battle begins once again. After all, it’s his way or… hell, it’s only his way. He’ll command Duke to hold his horses, but as you’d expect from Duke, he’ll do whatever he wants. This time, however, the president thinks that the aliens come in peace. So, the aliens are back after Duke kicked their ass. Therefore, it’s only natural to have low expectations for it. OK, let’s be honest, the story of Duke Nukem Forever is not its best feature, as it doesn’t try to impress the player with its complexity. I assume I should start with the game’s story. The funny thing is that the scripted 2001 trailer of DNF seems far better than the final version we actually got. Who can forget Broussard’s statements that this would be the best game ever? If this is indeed the best Duke Nukem game, then I am the master of Godzilla. The end of a game’s development that was already doomed to fail. Perhaps I should borrow the lyrics of a Greek song: ‘What? Tell me what? I don’t know what to tell you. After all, you can see its score so you should already know the answer. Or should I say that it was not worth the wait? Nyaaaaah. Should I say that we won’t have our classic April’s Fool joke from this moment on? Hmmm, perhaps I should invent another one, like Duke Nukem Forever & Ever. Should I say that I was not impressed with the low scores from all other gaming sites? It’s too obvious. Should I say that Duke Nukem Forever is finally here with us? “No shit dude, we can already see it” would be the answer from most of you. DUKE NUKEM FOREVER REVIEW HOW TOI was really wondering how to begin writing this Review. ![]()
