Preview: Duke Nukem Forever PC Game 2011
Women, guns, humor, aliens and lots of bravado. Alone with the Duke, the “king of mambo.”
Long live the king! Duke is back, and do so after almost thirteen years that it has had a great time with fame, “titis” and a lot of money. But nothing is forever, and our irreverent hero must once again put its entire machinery of profanity, sex and fun available to users. You can rub your eyes, this is not a dream. Duke Nukem Forever is here.
The “king” is back. After thirteen years without knowing anything about it, Duke Nukem looks to next generation consoles to prove who is the dirty, the grossest, most foul-mouthed pervert and most of the world’s “shooters” in person. It does almost eternal thanks to Duke Nukem Forever , game that can certify that at last there. We have seen and also what we played, it is true, for a short space of just fifteen minutes.
However, it has been enough to check the status of developing a title that will hit stores over the next 2011 … and not without a cloud of controversy around it. The title has seen numerous layoffs, the collapse of its main developer of litigation launched by Take-Two after many years of late featuring the guys from 3D Realms . Randy Pitchford in this regard, we commented that “the reason why the project was able to withstand many years without being canceled was that the illusion that involved every progress offset reticiencias on the few advances in terms of development taking place. It was something cyclical, but ended up breaking the cycle. ”
But finally, it seems that everything is going to have a happy ending. Gearbox Software (creators of Borderlands) picked up the baton for a little over a year, with almost 90% of project development. That is, its unique, but not decisive little work has been polishing the work, counting with a whole host of personalities from the sector which, at first, reached to consider rescue the project independently.
Return of the King
However, not everything was so easy. Times of Duke Nukem 3D (1996), where even a handful of men could create a great work had been completed. Pitchford and his team realized this, and therefore have employed about 200 workers (Gearbox) to finish Duke Nukem Forever in time.
A Duke Nukem Forever from the first until the last second during our demonstration, he showed three main values: the sex , the humor and weapons . These are again the key to a game that will not stress or its graphic section (OK but not great show), not for a huge rate up to Modern Warfare. The “King” follows its own style and enjoy your own personality , and that’s a big plus for a title that earns its name for over 18 years thanks to the dismemberment, the scantily clad girls and dozens of nasty situations that we find in the plot.
An argument equally absurd and vicious is that our hero, after saving the world and live in a big way in a luxury hotel casino in Las Vegas, is forced to return to action. After twelve years of peace, the aliens have returned under false pretenses of peace, deceiving the U.S. president himself and developed an evil plan to create an army by intercourse with human women. And of course, Duke is not going to allow their potential females go through that …
What I always wanted to do in a game
Once in our seats, with helmets on full blast and a Xbox 360 controller in your hands (USB type, and we played on a PC) was the moment of truth. “Duke Lives” (”Duke lives”) was the name of the first successful mission, one that places our attention on a toilet in the locker room of a football team. And guess what the first action that we perform in the game? Indeed, urination by pressing the trigger of our controller. Useless details but curious as quoted is plagued Duke Nukem Forever, and we like that.
The degree of interaction with the environment , either by pulling the chain, opening faucets, turning a hair dryer or a blunt excrement collecting inside a toilet. Also at this time we look in the mirror and yes, there was no doubt. Duke was with glasses and blond hair combed, we were dealing with our irreverent character who left the nest of showers to enter the heat of battle. In our way, dying soldiers, victims of the aliens, and a nice black man who encouraged us to erase a whiteboard marker to draw with a convincing plan of attack.
Obviously, whatever we do, the soldier always responded the same, yet it was notable that level of interaction with which we are rewarded every now and always to have a fun time.
Aliens and women: that’s life at Duke
But the moment of truth is approaching, and, specifically, a series of scripts, seems to be predominant, we drove to it, leaving a playing field where, with rain and wind gusts, we expect one of those heads end that will be so common in Duke Nukem Forever.
For this occasion, and assuming that this was the first title rival, things were not too difficult, being our only function is to aim and shoot with the “Devastator” (a guided missile weapon with both hands) to the head Cycloid, a huge armored bipedal creature that, after lying down, regaled us with a sequence “quick time” that ended with the notation somewhat by Duke, leading the cyclops eye over the “goalpost”.
Undoubtedly, a brutal, yet ingenious way to kill a monster that we returned to the sofa in our luxurious hotel, with twin girls in miniskirts while kneeling Duke, with a remote in his hands, to express her orgasm ended. “What’s the game, Duke?” Asked one of them. “After twelve fucking years, and can be good,” answered our hero while the demo sent us to a temporal leap to level 15 : “Highway Battle”. From here, we realized another of the characteristics of Duke Nuke Forever, will enjoy a great deal of variety.
Damn pigs!
The proof is found that we put on board a ” monster truck “in the middle of a desert, with a linear progression, divided into” checkpoints “(key features of the whole title), which led us to the most” shooter “of the show, with all these pigs aliens we discovered in Duke Nukem 3D, and now back to the dismembered and do explode into pieces again.
That will be more or less difficult depending on the degree of difficulty you choose, but do not know if this has a direct influence on the fact that there is-by default-a little help on the targeted. In addition, our life (or rather, our EGO ) is Auto-retrieve, except that, if we perish, we return to last save point.
But that Duke should not happen ever. Is able to defend himself with his fists, running, getting behind machine guns and still take up to two weapons at once. A typical array includes gun (M911) and more robust tools such as the shotgun, the sniper (known as Railgun), the Ripper (a kind of machine gun ideal for short / medium distances) or the original if somewhat useless Shrink Ray , used to return some rivals tiny then, paradoxically, are more difficult to implement. And is that if any opponent is dying, our hero is able to top it off, either hitting or kicking directly breaking the neck by a string “quick time.”
Long live the king
The demo came to an end just when we started to become familiar with the mechanics of Duke Nukem Forever, a game that follows aroma ” retro shooter “on all four sides, making a commendable approach game, it brings us to radically different way of seeing the games first person shooter. Thus, despite the doubts that still hover over the final product quality (the show only lasted 15 minutes), must be given an opportunity to the king.
Since then, the last message you showed us: “It’s Going To Be Bigger” (”It’s going to be bigger), with the package of Duke in the foreground, is very encouraging for all those stalwarts who have relied on the 3D Realms game (do not worry, it will appear in the credits) will one day to the shops. There are even some that have reserved a copy for years.
So we can only say one thing: “Long live the king.” And wait for the development process continues to progress well. Randy Pitchford (CEO of Gearbox Software) we confirmed with certainty that the game finally appear in 2011 and we can expect big surprises on the 12-16 hours we are promised will last a mindless argument full of sex, blood, humor and Above all, a lot of fun, even in multiplayer , not co … Although it will be something that I will reveal later.
