It´s so good that we won´t have to deal with all the whining anymore! At least not the one we got used in the past few days.

Please keep this topic clean of all the stuff the the trailer thread was full of.

Authorisation can take a while... But there´s nothing i can do about that.

EDIT: DOWNLOAD DUKE NUKEM FOREVER from MSDN.

[Lunick]

File Awaiting Authorisation

SO CLOSE.

[Yatta]

You know I could have just hosted it on Duke4.net for you. Would've even given you your own subdomain.

[Gambini]

Thanks Yattta. we can discuss that later. Now it´s 2:30 am and i have to work tomorrow :S

It´s funny how people is already rating it without even having played it. oh wel...

[DI-MeisterM]

Cool, it's 7:41 AM here right now, the whole day left for me. Can't wait playing it!

[thatguy]

Well, there's plenty of other file sharing sites.

[NightFright]

If that's really what I think/hope it is, I'm gonna build a freakin' throne and put Gambini on top of it personally... And chances are you will own Gearbox with that (which isn't too difficult to accomplish these days, I'm afraid)

[supergoofy]

Many thanks for building this mod/TC


Is this a standalone mod/TC or it needs duke3d.grp ?

[NightFright]

And another, even more important question: How many maps will be included? Or asked differently: Will it be longer than the "real" DNF?

(Duke would probably answer like: "Mine is ALWAYS longer! It lasts... forever!" xD)

[MetHy]

It's not standalone, requires eduke32 and the grp.

It lasts 5 levels, about 2 hours of gameplay.

When will you guys stop believing this is like a full game, this has been said before...

[NightFright]

Well, two hours of this is probably still considerably better than five hours of the "other".

[MetHy]

I don't think so. This is a great little episode but I had more fun playing the real DNF.

[Richard Shead]

I might have to be away from my PC for the next few days....hopefully somebody will upload a playthrough on YouTube.

[Lunick]

Try the download now guys!

Sorry for the delay but I was asleep when Gambini published this.

Some shots:

[Nukeaholic]

Awesome! Cannot wait to give this a shot soon, shame I have quite a bit to do today but I'll definitely make time to play it through.

Here's my "review" from moddb, tried not to spoil too much:

Quote

This was amazing! The first level starts off a bit slow, and besides the new art and a few references played like an ordinary Duke 3D level (although the view from the top of the lady killer is stunning) and there's good atmosphere.After you get the bike, there's a bit of a turning point and gameplay starts becoming more ambitious and interesting, plus all the references, both in-your-face and the smaller ones, and the obvious/exact replicas as well as ideas/locations etc which are only loosely based on the old trailers.

Is it DNF? No, but (besides the start maybe) there is not a single boring moment in the entire thing, and you'll have a huge grin every time you come across something from the trailers (especially when it's gameplay related and not just a visual thing). It definitely has a DNF feel, but some parts have it more than others.

Soon after you start, it grabs you like a vice and it won't let go until you finish. 100% Recommended! Go download now.

[Mr. Tibbs]

Played it for 5 minutes. I had to save and quit to say thank you so much Gambini and Mikko Sandt! It's brilliant! I've already audibly laughed a few times. An odd mix of charming and badass. Gotta rush back to play some more!

[Steveeeie]

I can't seem to get it working. it throws me to the main menu if i select a skill level

It looks awesome, so I hope I can find a fix.

Use DNF.bat to launch the game, not _eduke32.exe. This is common practice and was mentioned in the txt so pay attention.

[uh . . . .]

When you press back on the bike when going off a jump sometimes you can go abnormally high; I landed up on an invisible ceiling at one point. Going to bed now, I'll play the rest when I wake up, it's a lot fun.

[RichardStorm]

Immediate download and playing !

[Jenz/Amaka]

That was... surprisingly good. There really wasn't any boring parts at all.

Shame you guys didn't used my DNF gloves.

[zykov eddy]

Holy shit

Can't wait to play!

[CruX]

And here I was going to spend the day studying for my anthro final. Oh well.

[Hank]

so far it looks damn good,

[Lunick]

I'm probably going to be a party pooper here but I didn't like it.

Spoiler

What I did like was the amount of detail that went into the maps. As in the custom sprites made to look like you were really playing an older version of DNF. I also liked that stuff from the community was included like the voxels that Reaperman did or the Boulder (I hope I am correct here) that Deeper Thought coded. The enemies I thought were also really cool and it was nice to see some enemies recreated from those trailers in this. I don't have much to say weapons wise, the sprites were nice. Music was spot on as well. I also liked how easy I was able to determine who the hanging man was...

Spoiler

Now what I didn't like... the gameplay of the maps. I apreciate that the maps are so full of detail but they are large. I'm not sure if that's meant to be because they are to scale or what but I didn't find that particularly nice. I also didn't appreciate the amount of liztroopers that were on buildings in the distance firing at me whilst I try to shoot them down with my pistol. What also happened to some of the sound in the game? I'm not sure if it is just me but some of the voices (Duke included) just sound.. garbled? I know you guys would have had to record some lines from the trailer but they generally seem worse here. This will probably end up offending someone but what on Earth was that boss? I honestly thought it was some ugly joke of mashed up sprites, I would have appreciated seeing the Cycloid Emperor again. The gameplay in that area was fine though. The bike. I think I died too much from trying to use that damn bike.

What I will say is that you guys did a good job of recreating what you saw. I picked up the Balls of Steel edition of DNF today and was reading through the art book and it was cool to read stuff in that, that also appeared in this mod. I guess it just wasn't for me. I feel like an asshole now for pointing all that stuff out.

Can I ask if the code for the random people running around was borrowed from Blood or am I just thinking that because they look like the peasants from Blood? It's interesting to see lots of resources used in this mod. Also you can find Helixhorned and Plagman's names in the credits for eduke32

Now where is the DLC for it?

[Radar]

You didn't like the mod? Yup, ban Lunick for real this time guys.

Oi you

I didn't like it but that doesn't mean others won't like it. I think it is okay generally.
