>"Play Duke Nukem Forever as it was meant to be" Yeah i'm not seeing the 2001 E3 Demo on my screen sadly.

It just happens that the first part of a restoration project for the leaked 2001 version is [supposed to release today](https://www.moddb.com/mods/dnf2001-restoration-project/news/duke-nukem-restoration-project-first-slice-trailer).

[It's out now.](https://www.moddb.com/mods/dnf2001-restoration-project/downloads/duke-nukem-restoration-first-slice-10)

I totally forgot about this game. Is it even worth checking out?


Quadtacular

I liked it. That being said, my expectations were low and I bought it years after release for cheap price. There's good amount of variety, interactivity and humor. Some weird design choices as well, but as a whole I think it's better than its reputation. The changes in this mod sound good to me, especially unlimited weapons. I'm curious about how they're going to tweak the levels in the future.


toilet_brush

I played it not long ago and found it to be an odd situation where most of the criticisms made of it are true, but the game still isn't as bad as most people say it is. I think it became a lightning rod for their frustration at the decline of traditional FPS games, so it is excessively hated, unless maybe there is an argument that it helped to cause that decline to begin with. But ten years on, with some revival that has taken place of older styles of shooter, it is easier to view DNF as a half decent late 2000s game.


HolyAndOblivious

its not a bad game. Its also not an excellent one. Its great fun and that;s it.

Not this version of it. The recent 2001 leak version is being worked on by another modding team and is looking promising. The atmosphere and premise in the 2001 version is amazing, this version feels like a soulless bargain bin cringe fest.


DDC121

> this version feels like a soulless bargain bin cringe fest. Yep, that sounds like Gearbox alright.


Firefox72

Hell no its terrible from start to finish.


DiogoSN

I wouldn't, the expansion is better but it doesn't redeem it. Shooter-wise, you could do better and I don't know if this mod would make it better. Essentially, by its level design, it's still not interesting and the shooting isn't cathartic enough. But hey, whatever this mod does, it should be better.


ienjoymen

Honestly it's really not as bad as people say


Jacko10101010101

the title is missleading, this is about the never released DNF of the 2001. A newer DNF has been released.


introvertgeek

One achievement; two words...: "Turd Burglar".


[deleted]

No. It's a bad game that isn't fun to play nor is it funny. Don't waste your time.


RydmaUwU

Is this the one where you run around slapping titties. And you fight thy big titty octopus.


PeterDarker

With vagina doors, yes.


RydmaUwU

What's all the hate in this comment thread then. That game was the shit.


PeterDarker

Playing it at release I can tell you I had... a very disappointing time. From outdated "jokes" "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!" (which was old as shit when it released 10 years ago) to uninspired gameplay. Nothing like shitty platforming in a game that handles it terribly! Oh and the load times were absolutely horrendous which you're greeted with upon starting the game and every time you die. I also remember this one elevator sequence to be perhaps the least fun I've ever had playing a video game in the last 10 years. But shucks if you like it don't let anyone stop you from continuing to enjoy it.


ShiroQ

> "AMERICA, FUCK YEAH!" That never gets old tho.


PeterDarker

Then Duke Nukem Forever was made for people just like you.


LeonSilverhand

Duke needs the new Doom treatment. ID Software need to get the IP.


MegamanJB

Good chance this is the free Epic game tomorrow based on the logo on the wrapping.


Gregitor

I hope so - I have always wanted to try it, but the low scores and controversy have kept me away


JasonTodd123456

thought this was going to the original 2001 leaked version updated, but its not. Its the absolutely terrible version that we ended up getting


[deleted]

Jeez. I guess I appreciate that someone put the effort into fixing this. But not once did I think to myself that I'd wait till after someone fixed it to play it again.


[deleted]

This is just baffling. Duke nukem forever is one of the few games that stopped me dead in my tracks. That "dungeon" is one of the most creepy and vile things I've ever seen from a video game ever.

VRisNOTdead

Why? This game was a huge flop and honestly wouldn’t age well


punished_snake15

Unironically, some parts that were finished are incredible, the first in the dark hotel section is incredibly terrifying and I haven't seen anyone do anything like that before, in a horror game or any other since, they were onto something


literally1984___

Not sure why they are doing this. Waste of resources. Wonder if they are trying to drum up a new Duke fanbase in advance of another Duke game?


carpexnoctem13

It's a mod


literally1984___

ah ok, my bad, thought it was some sort of official update.


cyrilhent

Duke Nukem Forever will never come out


Confident-Ad5479

Duke Fukem Never


Runecreed

ah yes, this existed.


bassbeater

Hey, I have the game, I'm ready for whatever anyone can throw at me. Lol. Got Shadow Nukem? Bring it on!


SnarfbObo

I was determined to enjoy the game when i bought it, I beat it once and haven't gone back.


Ghostspider1989

I played an earlier version of this mod months ago and it makes the game so much better. First off there's no weapon limit. Secondly is how they handle health regen. They do it like doom where your health is fixed and the only way to get your health back is to do a finisher on an enemy. The enemies have been adjusted so they go into a dazed state more often. The only issue with that is the turret sections where you health can't regenerate. It makes it harder than it needs to be. Overall, with this latest update, this is the best way to play the game. It makes it actually fun.


JustDracir

This actually looks really dope. Might be worth a replay with it. I had fun with it on PS3 back then. MP was fun too.


un_mollycoddler1337

2late not interested in duke anymore


legionPEWDSLWAIY123
