Duke Nukem Forever Secret Version Revealed

“Duke Nukem Forever” is the video game with probably the most eventful development story: The first-person shooter was announced by the “Duke Nukem” creators of 3D Realms in 1997, but only appeared 14 years later – and after a studio change not in the form the fans had hoped for. 25 years after the start of development, an original version from 2001 has now appeared, which shows how “Duke Nukem Forever” was originally supposed to look like.

“When it’s done” – this is the answer to the question about the release date of “Duke Nukem Forever” journalists received when they turned to 3D Realms at the beginning of the millennium. The sentence developed into a “running gag” in the games industry, and is still a popular response today to questions about the release date of a game.Gearbox completed what 3D Realms began3D Realms ultimately failed in development – mainly because the technical framework (the game engine) was exchanged, which is why some things had to be developed again and again. Ultimately, 3D Realms turned development over to Gearbox Software, who released Duke Nukem Forever in 2011 – albeit in a cobbled-together form of the individual parts created at 3D Realms, which was not well received by players and critics.Trailer for the Gearbox version of Duke Nukem Forever: A user of the online forum 4chan shows fans of the action game hero, who is never short of a snappy comment, how the creators at 3D Realms wanted “Duke Nukem Forever” to have looked like. He got his hands on a never-released beta version from 2001 – ten years before the Gearbox release – and posted screenshots and videos from it. Version scheduled for release in June The version was put together for the E3 games fair in 2001: 3D Realms wanted to present the current state of development there and showed what it now turns out to be a very advanced version. Fans of the hero, who has unfortunately been quiet since “Duke Nukem Forever”, should like this version – it contains all the levels, but these are not finished – can play by yourself from June. The 4chan user has announced that it will publish the source code – including the level editor.
