Duke Nukem 3D 20th Anniversary edition

[KlopjerO]

I thought I'd write up a little review for the 20th aniversary edition(yes you're probably THÁT old) of Duke Nukem 3D. 

I'll keep it short though. although it's as fun as it used to be.. I'd say that 20 euro's might be asking a bit much for a game that received a new weapon a couple of new levels ..and some new lighting effects. game play is still the same. which is a plus.. although I have to admit that being used to Brutal Doom the it feels kind of clunky, and the inaccuracy of the pistol is a huge annoyance. 

Another annoying thing is the one sided polish of the sound.. all they did is rerecord Duke's one liners ..which and it immediatly becomes obvious when you hear other sound effects which sound very dull and comparison.. anyway my 2 cents worth .. 

and as far as i can see ..it will not load any sort of community WAD's or previously released add-ons.. which is sad and a missed opertunity.

Duke nukem 3d got a fan engine upgrade (hi-res texture, 3d enemies, bump mapping)  some years ago

The only problem is... well, the engine has some performance problems at higher setting.

3d models are horrible..sprites is what we crave

3d models in DOOMsday are terrible, they fit duke nukem 3d.

 

I love engine upgrades, i could not play quake untill  "darkplaces" (quake epsilon) was released as I really HATE the artistic choices in the original game (yellow, yellow and, again, yellow...).

Glad my sentiments are shared over at http://hrp.duke4.net

"In other news, you may have probably already heard that Gearbox will release Duke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour" on October 11. The definite highlight of this re-release of the original game will be an additional episode with eight new levels created by designer veterans Allen Blum III and Richard "Levelord" Gray, with new music tracks composed by Lee Jackson. You will also get a new weapon (the Incinerator) and face a type of enemy you have not encountered so far - the Firefly!

Other changes of this edition appear to be more questionable and are controversially discussed, e.g. in the Duke4.net forums. For example: World Tour will feature a new port with different/upgraded lighting system and normal mapping. Not everybody likes the new lighting (which seems overdone in many places) and applying normals to the original textures, however. The new high-quality Duke speech recorded by Jon St John also gives reason for criticism as it seems to collide with all the other sounds which remain untouched and therefore sound kinda "muffled". The product also appears to be overpriced according to many statements, especially considering that none of the commercial addons (Nuclear Winter, Life's A Beach, Duke It Out In D.C.) will be included. Randy Pitchford's recent Twitter statement that the $20 for "World Tour" will only be charged for the new episode while the previous episodes are a "bonus" also didn't exactly solve the pricing discussion.

Some of these issues certainly can be solved/improved even after the release of the game. What about you? Do you think this is the "definitive" edition of Duke Nukem 3D as claimed by Gearbox? Do you intend to buy the game (or maybe you have even preordered it already)? How excited are you about the new content? Feel free to let us know and discuss "World Tour" over at the Duke4.net forums!"
