Duke Nukem with the g73jh

Just posting how it's playing for me. Everything maxed out 1920x1080 no AA I am playing arround 30 fps...

I find it sad

 

DukeNukem Forever?!
Make some screens plz

 

errrr its out?

 

the demo is for today

 

what's sad exactly ?... The fact that there's still no game that can outpower the G73 ? I agree!

(don't wanne hear about Metro 2033 & GTA 4)

 

Link or fake ....

 

Link to what? Yes the demo for DNF came out today, and yes it plays on 'Ultra' settings without AA.

I'm using the 1600x900 display so I'm getting a higher FPS, mine's closer to 50 or 60 actually.

 

I Cant find this demo : P can you link it?

 

Only who preorder the game can play the demo.

 

If thats the case this is the most stupidest thing ever.

Demos are ment to test the game to decide.
Not a preorder bonus for already ordering the game.

 

I second that....
ok, and the screenshots???

 

I guess he means that It is sad to reach only 30 FPS in a shooter

which somehow I agree...
I honestly having such a bad time... every game that comes out need some tweak or fix before being playable...

Black Ops anyone?
The witcher 2 anyone?
Dirt 3? (sun glitch)

 

Yes I find sad to only get 30 fps in a game that looks outdated since 2007...

Here's the videos I made when I was playing.

Part 1
Part 2

 

The demo is for ONLY people that Pre-Order Duke or got the borderlands game of the year pack from steam. Than you had to go to : Duke Nukem Forever Official Website
And join the Duke Nukem's First Access Club with the CD key you got from borderlands or your pre-duke order than they send you a email with your steam Demo Code thats the only way to get it im downloading will post pics soon

 

i've been waiting for this game for 10 years and now that it's almost out, i'm disappointed by it

 

It stutters!!!!

 

Ya i can see 5 patches in the first month demo was fun runs on DX9.0c
there was AMD Duo core Op if your running one of them old CPU's lol i had everything maxed out 1920x1080 ran smooth had fun with the poo in the crapper i think it will be fun but with BF3 coming out who knows

 

I just played it again with fraps open. The game runs arround 55 fps indoors and 40-45ish outdoors but is REALLY unstable. There's one action going on and it drops to 35ish and in combats with a few enemies it goes down to 30ish. It's one of the games with the less stable fps I've played.

 

How about lower your setting.

 

Well ten years and we got the game lets hope its not 10 years before they fix it

 

I won't lower the settings on a game that already looks really bad on ultra settings lol... The g73jh is more than enough to play it on ultra, it's just the game isn't stable. Lowering the graphics gets me a few more fps but the game stays horribly unstable. I guess it's just because it's a demo and when the game will be released ATI should fix it (ok I know it never happens but I'll keep hoping they will do that someday...)

 

Ya would have bin nice to have played the demo before i Pre-payed Duke i think i mite have waited to see how fast fixes would show up before i got the game. Not that i wouldn't have got the game i mean it's DUKE Nukem the man rocks! just would have bin nice to see a more finished game. Lets just hope its the demo and not the full game

 

Anyway the demo is the old PAX build... It isn't even the latest build. It will run better.

We can know it's an old build because in the latest version, there's the atomic logo when reaching a check point (see here at 0:59) and in the FAC demo it's not there.

EDIT* I just did a video showing a secret

 

So are you going to tell use how you did this ?

 

I haven't had any issues in any of those games. The Witcher 2 especially runs flawlessly.

 

Is this game good? Or just console port?

 

Worse, it's a 10 yr old game.

 

For anybody who's interested, the full game doesn't run any better than the demo, and it chugs in some of the weirdest places.

 

You clearly have a copy of the witcher 2 that I don't. That game is a laggy waste of 50$.

 

umm no.. the gameplay is smooth.. from 720 it looked pretty damn good, and if its maxed out. thats good gameplay. Also you have to realize is the guy was frapsing the game while playing it.. That'll slow his system down alot... AND the game was still smooth.. imagine it without fraps..

 

Can't wait to play this game. Honestly? It's going to be pretty terrible but I'm still looking forward to playing it because it's cheesy and silly. After 14 years in development, I hope nobody had high hopes for it. Still I feel sorry for DNF, there's zero way it could live up to the hype. Hopefully the next DN game is better.

 

Of course is supposed to be smooth, it runs in Unreal Engine 2.5!!!

my observation was based on the posted video

waiting for the final release to see if the 14 years in development was worth

 

Unfortunately, all the effects they tacked onto that engine really slow it down. The game is ugly and performs worse than just about any other big budget shooter this year, which is a pretty impressive achievement.

It is cheesy and silly, but it's also completely unfunny. Prepare for jokes about the Olsen twins, Leeroy Jenkins, and a bunch of other things that might have been topical five years ago. And all the stuff with the babes ends up being kinda creepy in a way all the other Duke Nukem games avoided.

It's just... depressing. Like a skeevy old guy trying to show that he's "hip with the kids, yo". The game's about as funny as a mid-life crisis.

 

I know your observation was based on the video hence the comment about the fraps slowing it down. The video was smooth. I personally don't plan on ever playing the game nor do i have the interest to have ever played the game. The graphics are a step down from Black ops and the gameplay was smooth in his youtube video... perhaps your internet connection caused the skips and lags.....................

 

Not what is expected It ok to play but not what you would expect after 12 year. Might be the 12 years thats the problem. Dont know....something is missing from the game and the humor is a bit to much at some point.


But runs maxed without v.sync.
with a strong 40-50 FPS

 

It's exactly the problem. The game didn't take 12 years because 3D Realms were a bunch of perfectionists, it took 12 years because they never had a clear goal and were constantly trying to cram a bunch of disparate ideas into shape.

 

As Duke himself says "Ball´s of fail" (need to lose the pinball game to hear that)

The graphics side looks a bit lowtech and strange is sometimes the graphics do not focus as fast as they should when they get in range. That might be a driver or a game bug i think.

They at least could have made the babes in the game look better

Is it me or does the story seem a bit like the original FPS ? The idea is the same exept for the part that the aliens took the women of earth this time but the idea is the same use to spawn monster....same as in the original game 12 year ago?.

 

Well I played it for a few hours and got to Duke's ***** City bar before I got a migraine and stopped. It's not as bad as I thought it would be, it's...average. Actually no, if you took Duke away, it'd be pretty bad game but Duke bumps it up to average level. But it's so disappointing that it's so meh, that it's probably going to seem more terrible than it is to people. The game is ugly as hell though, it looks like a 2005 game and runs like a 2011 game. That's not a good thing, the framerate is really iffy maxed out and the game is too aesthetically unpleasing for that to be case.

But yeah it's just...bleh so far. It's a really dated game with some failed modern elements that nobody wanted (2 weapons only?) that just drag it down. Seems like it could have been much more in the hands of a competent developer.

 

Thats what it look like ....something from 2005 but if i am not mistaken then was it not then when the first DN rumors were leaked ( pictures ) ?. Might think they took the old project and just continued that.


Amm well i kind of like the 2 weapon option....come on look at duke in a mirror with the weapons.....they are huuuuuge. . + at some point taking the wrong weapon can = Fail


LOL if you get to the part were you drive the monster truck at part 3 or 4 right before the mine there is a shot down fighter with a rocket on it.......DO not shoot the red dot on it. Turns out its a nuke

 

I've completed the game in 6 hours or so... I am disappointed. A few jokes are good and the interactive objects are incredidible, but else the game is just a poor title way overpriced. Remove Duke and the game just sucks. It's way too repetitive and linear...

I've wrote a lot about it on official forums, kind it sick of it now lol so I wont elaborate too much

 

And you were expecting ... what? lol

Gearbox said they were just taking what had been done and shining it up for release. Too bad they weren't in charge of the franchise from the start.

 

I wasn't expecting the game of the year... I was only expecting a Duke game and expecting what Gearbox told us.

But it's the worse Duke game (I even had much more fun with manhattan project lol) and none of what Gearbox said was there. Like they said there would be blood decals and gore... There's no blood decals at all (I don't care THAT much, but still it's a lie) and Randy Pitchford said it took him twice the time it takes to beat Portal 2, to finish it. It took me 8h in Portal 2 and 6ish for Duke (and I didn't rush at all, I even played 30 minutes with mini games in the bar and found most ego boosts) so they lied about how long the game is (I was really waiting for a 10-16h good game, or avg game since it's dated, but nope got a short crap).

The game was so short, so linear and so repetitive that I really got bored when I saw I had zero surprises in the game... One thing happens and then it happens all the time. (Spoiler)

Spoiler

They even put the opening boss, that we played in the Demo and saw many times before, as the final boss. What the hell?

Some parts of the game are cool (but the game is still dated) but some of those parts are too short and should last longer and others should be short but they exploited them too much by repeating them 3-4 times in a row

Spoiler

(like the monster truck, it's really fun but after a few minutes it's really crap because you just ride a bit and run out of gas and have to find some, rince and repeat 4-5 times)

.

 

LOL please tell me you are joking about this? That boss was pathetic.

 

No. I am not even joking. It's really pathetic.... For a 12-15 years dev time, the game feels like the most rushed one I ever played.


Also, one the things that ruined the gameplay was the scripted events. You need a bridge? No problem! After your fight, a wrecked ship will suddenly get in place to make you a perfect bridge! Oh there's a door you cannot open? No problem! For the 100x time in the game there will be an explosion out of nowhere with aliens, that will make you a passage! I'm exagerating, but I don't like having to wait a few seconds everytime, knowing exactly that some scritped event will let me move on. I don't like it in any games, but in Duke I found it worse. When I say it was really the same thing again and again, well it was. Maybe a few years ago it would have been a bit better, but today we saw those 10000000000000000 times in bad games. It's déjà vue.

 

hehe, anyone tried play this on the hardest difficulty ? ) apparently you will die from 2 hit from a normal enemy and at the very beginning part when duke is in his secret office?! there was an alien who try go get in the room and we have to punch him, i couldnt find anyway to beat that alien in hard mode since he just "touch" me 2 times and duke dies xD this game is so bad on so many level

 

Might try the hardest level before i uninstall the game

 

Don't tell me about the ennoyance of event scripting.. Since call of duty mw2 it seems like the game turned into a movie, with here and there some gameplay. Its ennoying a hell. My thinking lead me to believe that they are doing this to make the story/game a little more "exciting", but my oppinion is they kind of failed at this. Its programmed, whoever plays the game, does it the exact same way as you did, so there's nothing exciting to it.

Another thought about the short storyline is that maybe exchanged the long storyline and bad graphics for a short storyline and better graphics. Since nicer graphics take a lot more time to make, and gets a lot larger, they can't make the installation files that big, thus the shorter storyline.

A final word I wanne throw in there is that in the past, games werent that numerous as they are now (how many games are there on the market, and not to mention the platforms), so companies have 2 choices, eighter spend their money on a decent game, or spend it on advertising.

 

I think it's good that it's not so long... Coz I wanne start with my 2nd playthrough of The Witcher 2

The game is cool coz it's called "Duke" but remove that and you have a low budget title... As said... Graphics aren't that good, try to zoom in and don't move... I always have a "flue image".. :s
+ game is pretty rushed and way over the top... You can say Duke is good and have some posters and stuff but the game is more about Duke's ego then about the gameplay...
+ "puzzels" are way to easy if you have played the old Duke...

A missed chance... once again...

Still enjoying it as a "brainless shooter" though

Q

 

To remove your "flue image" disable post process fx. I found the game MUCH better without lol

 

Graphics dont seem bad to me with everything on super ultra mega settings, sure its not crysis but its nothing even close to PS2 and stuff like people are comparing it too.

Graphics dont make a game to me anyways, and often times "old" graphics help retain more of the retro feel.

I mean just imagine if they made a new super mario 2d platform game and it used SNES style sprites. Would you complain about the graphics?

What if they made it with the Crysis Engine and it was super ultra impressive would that make it a better game?? to me it would be worse because it would ruin that classic feel of mario... though I would not mind a deep voice telling me "Power Mode Activated" and suddenly I can jump 4 times higher in my Cry Suit to reach the top of the flag pole
