well given that Duke3d was a DOS based game, your windows version wouldnt have counted for anything tbh, as it would have been booting you back out to DOS to run it. I used to run it from a Win95 co

got it today :D

loving the references to the previous games and the humour, however they did consolise it WAY too much, feels like a port of a 360 game :/

there are also huge discrepancies in the textures; some things look awesome (like the enemies and the chicks), and other things look blurred to the shithouse. Also not a fan of having to wait around during overly long cutscenes when restarting levels etc.

Yeh the worst thing is definitly the waiting times. Especially once you crank it up to the hard difficulties and die a few times.

Still the most fun i have had for a while playing a shooter

Im sure the next one will be a bit better and have a lot better direction from the start.

Way too much time was wasted on this one doing absolutely nothing.

the blur is weird. bit seems intentional. as it becomes more the faster you move. Load times only seem to be a console issue.

i doubt its a Port as the console load times seem to be very excessive, and its made by Gearbox/ex 3D realms guys who obviously went for the nostalgia angle, which means PC all the way.

it's by no means a Crysis2, but i think thats great as it means even peeps without a stonking new uber computer can run it full detail and smoothly, which in turn will hopefully create more players for online madness!!

Played MW2 the other day after playing this........did well, almost won a few games, but it bored/annoyed the crap outta me....lol

Gameplay overhaul patch

I don't know what to say about this but gearbox head honcho has considered the bad reviews and everyone's complaints about dnf; And has confirmed that the team is working on a major overhaul patch.

Sounds kinda stupid after reading the article.

Also, I don't know what to expect anymore.

strange i cant seem to find any other sources at all that say anything about a patch. Also a bit funny how its all worded too as i doubt very much the head honcho would talk like that about his game

Yeah sounds legit. Did this part not make you think that these guys are trying to do a "the onion" type stories

We had a thought – what if he actually managed to get his hands on some gum? We held a focus group with a whole bunch of gamers and they all gave us one clear, consistent message. Going out and buying gum would be a more entertaining pastime that putting up with the drudgery that is kicking ass in Duke Nukem Forever.

But what investor would give them money after how DNF was essentially roasted in reviews? Bit of a shaky business decision.

Yeah, but Gearbox didn't start from scratch on DNF did they?

If they didn't, they may have earned the benefit of the doubt making a Duke game completely of their own.

I think Gearbox Software brought the Duke Nukem franchise. They got all the devlopment work that 3D Realms did and got Triptych Games (who are ex 3D Realms guys who kept working on DNF) to help them finish the game (also got Piranha Games to help Gearbox with the X360 and PS3 versions)...Gearbox just released what was done with some minor tweaking of their own...

You can tell this game should have been done and released around 1999 (when it should have been) to about 2004.....the graphics are very dated and just looks wrong on today's PC's...

This is basically what happens when George Broussard kept messing around with the game...change engines mid build which would force to start again from scratch and bascially adding stuff in because other games did that just so they can have in DNF...

You can see why Take-Two Interactive got pissed of with 3D Realms was doing and finally had enough....took DNF from them gave it to Gearbox and pretty much said "Give it a small tweak...and release the damn thing"

I would say that Gearbox will do something good with the Duke Nukem franchise...let's just hope it doesn't take another 14 years for the next one to come out

Oh I don't doubt that at all. From what I understand, Gearbox basically finished off what 3DRealms had done and made it how they (3DR) wanted it, and then released it. They just supplied the grunt, as it were.

In their own right though, they might be able to come up with something awesome; who knows? And while I hope a lot of people/investors realise this, you've gotta admit there'll be a lot of people very wary and maybe not willing to give them a go, just being cautious.

If they manage to get another DN game out and it's actually good, then they'll blow everyone's socks off.

Graphics are shit. Compared to say BFBC2 or other current games (or even games from 2-3 years ago), the graphics are plain shit. Gameplay is quite enjoyable.

Downloaded it from bitsoup.org

Screw paying for games haha

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
