I remember reading review after review panning it for poor game play, bad controls, and offensive content. Never has a game garnered so much attention and anticipation by the gaming community – only to be met by such criticism once released.
It was available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, and ported to Mac OS X and is also now available on the Mac App Store. Finally in 2011 – some 15 years later – Duke Nukem Forever was released to the gaming world. It became a running joke in the gaming world as development got pushed further and further back. ForeverĪ sequel had been in production for a long time. It spawned several expansion packs and was ported in various versions to different consoles and platforms. It was a fun tongue-in-cheek take on the genre with more concentration on it being a shoot-everything-you-see game, and had interactive environments, cheesy dialogue and sexist attitude.ĭuke Nukem 3D was a massive success. Where Doom was scary, dark and mysterious, Duke Nukem 3D took a different approach. ID Software had released Doom in 1993 and taken the gaming world by storm. In 1996, 3D Realms released Duke Nukem 3D – a first person shooter sequel to the sideways scrolling 2D Duke Nukem and Duke Nukem 2. 15 years in the making, Duke Nukem Forever brings back classic first person shooters and over the top sexism to the gaming world.
