Duke Nukem Forever, Gearbox and 3D Realms’ infamous first-person shooter that spent 13 years in development hell, has been improved and “updated” with an ambitious new mod that aims to bring the distant cousin closer of Doom and Quake in the world. original shooter in the style of the 90s.
As previously reported, Duke Nukem Forever contained many visual elements that were toned down or removed entirely prior to its 2011 release, with modder Vinicius Medeiros attempting to restore the FPS to a form more in line with Gearbox and 3D Realms’ original plans. . With improved lighting and shadows and more detailed boxes, Medeiros’ original work showed what Duke Nukem Forever would have looked like if he hadn’t been nerfed before release. Today, the computer scientist is reworking the gameplay of Duke Nukem Forever to bring it closer to the “classic shooter” style the series was originally known for.
“Duke Nukem Forever: Enhanced is a DNF mod from 2011 that aims to improve the gameplay of the original game and make it more like a classic shooter,” Medeiros writes. This means removing the sprint feature from the game, but makes overall movement much faster. Jump height has been increased and the game’s arsenal of weapons has been rebalanced. There is no longer a limit to the number of weapons Duke can carry, and the driving sections of the game are now played in first person. Quick saves are available, along with a number of post-process visual effects and improved shadow dynamics. “I appreciate the effort,” one Twitter user wrote, “but Duke Nukem Forever cannot be saved.” “Actually you can” answers Medeiros.
If you want to see for yourself, you can download Duke Nukem Forever: Enhanced right now from Mod DB. The modders also recently discovered that the game’s level editing tools are available in the retail version, so you may see more DNF improvements and restorations in the future.
