They need to focus on fixing the bugs with whatever they have, cut a few corners with models and graphic design for the pieces they have in place, and build in a system releasing adding episodic content a la Half-Life 2: Episodes 1-3. Part of the Duke Nukem charm is how cheesy the whole thing is, and if you try to build an artsy, directed game with an overly impressive graphics engine you’ve missed the point. I think that’s entirely the wrong tactic here. I get the feeling 3DRealms has this vision for the game to be something great, and they don’t want to disappoint the fans with the final product. I’m looking forward to playing this game when it’s finally released, but in spite of the long development time (or, perhaps, because of) I don’t have very high expectations. I remember way back when my brother and I would fight over who got to play the game on the family’s new top of the line 386 because it wouldn’t run as well on the old XT. I enjoyed not only Duke3D but also the original Duke Nukem I and II side-scrollers. Either way, i’m betting that there are a lot of folks who’d prefer that this game remain in perpetual vaporware. Of course, expecting this, the company behind the game has actually released a trailer for the game… which doesn’t mean much. Since then, the game’s stature as Vaporware extraordinaire has only grown, forcing Wired to put it back on the list - in its rightful spot at the top. At one point, Wired even gave it a “Lifetime Achievement Award” in order to get it off the list. The game, of course, was supposed to have been released in early 1998, so we’re pushing 10 years late here. However, the granddaddy of all vaporware, which has dominated the list over and over and over again for years has been the video game Duke Nukem Forever… and it comes as no surprise that it takes the top spot, once again. There was the oh-so-aptly-named “Phantom” gaming console, but that company finally just disappeared completely. My childhood with Duke Nukem has been destroyed because of this game.Thu, Dec 20th 2007 11:56am - Mike Masnickįor years, Wired has offered up an annual “vaporware” list - and there have been a few products that always seem to make the list. If you see this game in stores, just keep walking and play an FPS that is a masterpiece like Killzone 3 and Halo Reach. But here, you go back to the loading screen and wait 35 seconds! Don't buy it, and definitely don't rent it. You think after you die, you automatically respond, like in many FPS's. It takes about 43 seconds to start the stage. The mini games are unplayable with the glitchy controls. The health system is similar to Master Chief from Halo franchise. But here, no matter how hard you try it's goes so fast you wouldn't be able to kill an alien before it kills you.
How is it hard to aim? You use the right analog stick, and move is slightly slow or fast. The controls were absolutely terrible, it gets harder when you try to aim at the aliens. But after playing 2 hours of it, I officially said "goodbye" to this game. When I heard about this game coming, I was excited to play as the King again. Back in 1997, I love Duke Nukem 3D on the Playstation and still love it today. This is one of the worst games I've ever played in my life. Thanks for the news hits but thats as good as it ever got to be honest. I don't wish to discuss the game in general as I would hate to offend further. You should have focused on a new userbase as well as the old school fans and it is in this area and the fact it's 2011 that I cast doubt on your abilities, whether it be think - tanking the game or the programming abilities. I am sure the game will bear well with the die hard 40 somethings but I am not there yet and neither is this game. Hey C4Eva, you seen better right? I hate to slate a highly anticipated game, and I didn't for other's but if I let this slide, I wouldn't be a true critic.
Then there are the graphics which could have been from a Commodore. I appreciate after 13 years, it's a huge achievement to get a game published, but what exactly were the developers thinking? This is people's hard earned money and poor games means store seller's such as myself take a lot of heat when people find excuses to return under-par games. I appreciate after 13 years, it's a huge Sorry but in a cut-throat recession hit community, to release slop like this is a crying shame.
