/vr/ - Retro Games

It's impressive how Duke Nukem Forever managed to be more outdated than Duke 3D.
Let me explain, I still love Duke3D but the humor in terms of references didn't age really well(OJ Simpson trial for example),same for some other joke.
DNF on the other hand takes the trends that were going strong with FPS games at the time with gameplay + jokes that aged like milk (Christian Bale freaking out).
The washed out colours managed to create the most lifeless depiction of Las Vegas yet, some goes with the models.
Duke3D has its limitations but the environment fits with the bombastic and over the top tone is going for. And the sprites still look really good to this day.

You can say that there are some fun parts but try to play Duke3D then DNF. It's one hell of a downgrade all around.

I just don't get it, Turok 1 was remastered with a new engine by one guy for PC, then ported on the Switch and Xbox ONE and runs well(the same will be done with Turok 2 on the Switch).

While a game studio can't port an older and less advanced game like Doom properly? With a trial version of Unity on top of that?

This is ridiculous.
