Duke Nukem 3D & Duke Nukem 64 Mod Video Review

[@SuperFriendBFG]

It's possible that when Gearbox purchased the rights to the Duke franchise, it didn't come with the two expansions. They weren't developed by 3D Realms after all. Both Duke it out in D.C. and Life's a Beach were developed by Sunstorm Entertainment and Published by WizardWorks. When it came time to re-release Duke and its expansions as a collection, an agreement was struck between 3D Realms and the original creators (Different mappers that both worked with Sunstorm) to include them. This is really just speculation, but sometimes you get these weird legal barriers that can prevent something from being included in re-releases and the like.

[@dude123456m]

If I recall correctly the reason the cross is changed is because the Red Cross copyrighted the symbol so changed to the pills, anyways great video as always one of the best channels on KZbin

[@GoodmansGhost]

Doom 1 and 2 in the BFG edition does the same.

They should’ve done a negative space icon, like Doom Eternal medkits

[@ThePoltergeist82]

Duke: "My name's Duke Nukem. After a few days of R&R I'll be ready for more action. Civvie: a few days...a few days...a few days...a few days...a few days...a few days...a few days...a few days.

[@Phredreeke]

20:58 the Duke 64 TC has the new cycloid emperor model but only if you use the polymost engine

[@franzpattison]

Hahaha you can kick a slime alien off your own face that sounds so strange to imagine

[@999YCM]

this is the exact kind of channel i've been looking for. clean, professional, and you seem to share my taste in games. well done. comment end.

[@SylphidUndine]

i actually found the experience way more immersive without music

[@Rountree1985]

SylphidUndine I always played without music when I played as a teenager. I use music now for some reason.

[@ChaseMC215]

It's like Doom on Atari Jaguar, where there is no music. Duke 64 and Doom Jaguar shared this fact, although with Duke 64, it has Jon St John's voicelines in tact, while Doom Jaguare had no music due to the chip that is used for music being used for the collision detection, it's ether colision or Music, you cannot have both, but Duke 64 had no music because there was simply no space to contain both Duke's quotes and the game's music

[@totalphildozers]

I was hoping to a see a pic of that mousepad

[@N.i.E.M.O]

The one thing the N64 version has over any other version (other than multiplayer) is actual 3D environments. In the PC version, if you look up or down, the environments will warp, making it difficult to percieve depth and it just looks strange overall. Unfortunately, this trait is still present even in the N64 Mod for the PC version. Because of its fully rendered 3D environments and even its lacking soundtrack, Duke 64 actually feels more atmospheric and its environments feel more tangible. I recall being a kid and using the 'No Enemies' cheat to explore the levels at my leisure.

[@Ricemang7]

Oh god the Smithsonian level I had to walk away and come back to it later just to finish it aha. Great review and channel. Very descriptive, detailed and well presented. Subed yo.

[@Jayrod64]

I'm planning on buying Duke Nukem 3D: Atomic Edition and modding it. Seems to be the most common original PC version of the game. As far as I can tell, the older versions have way better, much louder sounds. The 20th Anniversary World Tour has muffled sound by comparison.

[@zachlaprade]

these reviews are damn well made. keep it up and keep em comin!

[@blackwolf249]

Episode 3 doesn't take place in Los Angeles; instead, it takes place in the fictional Shrapnel City, which was where the first episode of the original Duke Nukem took place.

[@adolfozaragoza6086]

You should check out the 360 arcade version. it's awesome I am surprised they have not removed it yet.

[@fearthepointman3134]

adolfo zaragoza why would they remove it?

[@Gamingpastime64]

+Horus Legacy no idea. Maybe legal reasons. I'm not sure.

[@Rountree1985]

I had the 360 version but the PS3 version was better because it included the expansion packs. The 360 version didn’t.

[@skelejp9982]

Duke Nukem had loadsa Secrets, Hologram , Pipebombs remote detonate, OJ Simpson on TV Screens, a Pooltable with no Balls of Steel. And be able to Kick anything to Pieces... I was so in love with this Game. The Cracks in the Wall,or Vents showing U different routes. Remember the Born to be Wild Microphone. Or the Indiana Jones Tunnel, next to the Secret level. Greetings !

[@damonknight2494]

is there a video somewhere on your channel explaining why you never play the multiplayer modes on games... I understand new games but Duke Nukem and doom is a bit odd

[@Gamingpastime64]

Funnily enough, we are working on a video to explain that, among other things.

[@nintyfan1991]

Ironically enough, the Switch version of 20th Anniversary Edition is the cheapest at $10 (though it had a launch sale for about $5 when I got it). Weird, but I'll take it.

[@nesmario123]

How do you run the 64 mod? The textures didn't load and became solid colors

[@Immorpher]

Second time I have heard a reviewer talk about ambushes. The first time was for Doom. I always found them kind of exciting, but its more of an old school mechanic.

[@TheShinningabyss]

More ambitious than anything done today

[@popculturepausescreen1522]

Cool video thanks. I think getting lost shouldn't really be that much of a down point. As some players won't necessarily get lost the same way and some people like the puzzles over just waves of enemies. Still nice to hear all the versions compared in one place.

[@luigimaster111]

Hmm, your using eduke32's software renderer for some reason.

[@Rountree1985]

Luigi Master he said that he would be in some parts. Did you not listen?

COME GET SOME!

[@jordanwright2313]

My favorite game of all time.

[@pippo17173]

Man I miss the chance to play this game a while back on the N64. I Can get use to the controls....at times.

[@hoteru1]

Bought it now for my old n64 and the controls are horrible, that's why I prefer playing doom 64. And I hate how the game was crippled by Nintendo and above that.... Noooo musiiic🙈

[@mr_beezlebub3985]

I'm gonna just get Megaton Edition from G2A, or maybe torrent it

[@FerintoshFarmsPhotography]

If you talk about somethign you really should splice in a photo, could have had the mousepad with a little heart around it or something with duke saying come get some.

[@Duke4419]

Good Review!

I hope you clean that mouse pad sometimes. Just sayin.

[@sibylsaint]

Well don't show all the final bosses and everything... :/

[@Marc_Araujo]

The 20th Anniversary World Tour is great but I wish it included the three classic expansions in it to make it the complete definitive edition of Duke Nukem 3D. P.S. They changed the symbol on the medkits because the American Red Cross trademarked its red cross logo, so they had to change it to a pill.

[@asais1024]

I didn't know that the steroids increase kick damage

[@mr.nigga.2208]

Tbh, i liked dukem nukem, but it was just how big of a doom clone it was

[@ReadyAimFire_]

Always inferior to Doom/Quake, never funny. I dont even how it became so popular.

[@Gamingpastime64]

The Build Engine. "The Build engine was truly the pinnacle of the 2.5D game engine period, which was kicked off with Id's Doom engine. Build went well beyond the features of Doom, with sloping features, partial looking up & down, rooms above rooms, and several other innovations." 3drealms.com/news/history-build-engine/ The interactive and destructible environments was another reason. The gameplay is fun and I know people praise the level design. It's humor proved entertaining at the time with its mix of pop-culture satire and nods to popular Hollywood action films. Although, humor is subjective. I prefer Doom, myself, but the Build engine was the real highlight of Duke 3D and I feel it deserves the praise it gets.

[@UltimateEnd0]

I played Doom when I was 3 and Duke Nukem 3D when I was 5 and I liked Duke better...still do. Way better level design than Doom. And Doom 2 has some of the worst level design...The overworld in Doom 1 is cool though.

duke nukem 64 was the first i played and played the shit out of it but after playing duke 3D on the 360 it´s obviously a loot better.. the n64 one is still good but the graphics were muddy and dark as shit ,i may have to check out the mod.
