A Duke Nuke 'Em/Tomb Raider mashup is about the only thing that could same the Duke franchise at this point, but I don't think the character would be allowed to be himself in today's political climate. In the 90s such a mashup would have yielded some lewd jokes at Lara's expense, no doubt, but no way they could get away with that now.

The controls are stiff even for a Tomb Raider clone, the levels are maze-y, and you need to memorize the enemy placements if you don't want to lose tons of health.

Huge amount of guns, more than in any other Duke Nukem game.

Had it and Land of the Babes as a kid. Didn't get very far without cheats but I still enjoyed them a lot. The music/atmosphere was so good and Duke's new quips were fun.

Stabbing Westward seemed a bit out of place for Duke Nukem, still a dope song for a dope intro.

This was the original theme

Didn't like it when I turned it on for the first time, but recently revisited it and it was pretty rad. Land of the Babes sucks though.
Such a shame that nu-3DR didn't remaster or at least release the source code for Time to Kill before they got sued by Randy for the remains of the DN rights that they had.

I bought this game from a pawn shop in 2004, it was passable so I just kept playing Duke 3D instead.

desu they kinda suck. Shoulda done something like zero hour on ps1. THAT was a Duke game

Pretty nice although Stabbing Westward is far more 90s

>> No.7092253

Had it, enjoyed the campaign, lots of tomb raider fun wrapped in dukes unique aesthetic, enjoyed the 2 player deathmatches with my bros.

It would be wrong to call this a bad game.

It's not terrible by any means, it was an enjoyable game when it came out. It's been years so I forget, did this game come out when the DualShock was standard or are the camera controls wonky like most pre dual-stick third person shooters?

It's modeled after tomb raider's control style but there is a way to get it to flow decently with strafing and forward movement. One of the problems is you can't run along walls so you'll get stopped by them if you collide perpendicularly with them. That said combat can be really fun and chunky, even if simple. The auto aim is generous enough that taking on large amounts of bad guys can be a good time. Plus the weapons are solid.

It's not amazing, janky and unpolished but there's still some good stuff in there. The levels are stand out too, surprisingly good and expansive. Obviously these have tomb raider stylings to them but at the same time dip a bit into duke's exploration, flow and secrets. The very first area with the strip club, optional apartments, plain in sight secrets flows really nicely.

It was out of bit for Mortal Kombat too, but the movie still used it.
Then they refused to have their songs put on the soundtrack (which went triple platinum) and the band folded some years later.

>> No.7094147

sorta relevant to this thread. what's the best way to play Duke Nukem 3D? I've been wanting to play it again for a long time.

I only ever played it on the Sega Saturn when I was a kid.
