Duke Nukem 3D - Sega Saturn Review

[@GameSack]

Lobotomy were gods among men. They didn't necessarily make the style of game that I enjoyed playing much, but man oh man did they make them well considering the hardware. Their engine and talent could have been used on lots of game styles besides FPS and I would've loved to see that as well.

[@sohatyi]

For a man who discovered an entire mathematical technique, Carmac sometimes made a couple of interesting choices. To be fair to him, he admitted in retrospect he should have let the original Doom Saturn version get finished and released as it was the far superior version.

[@Astfgl]

John Carmack had a very clear and singular vision: he wanted to make game worlds that felt solid and real. The wobbly polygons and warping textures of the 32-bit consoles ran counter to that idea, so he was very single-minded about not allowing their use in ports of his games. Of course it massively hurt the playability of Doom in the end, and he later admitted to have made the wrong judgement call. It's easy to forget he was only in his mid-20's at the time and lacked some of the perspective that comes with age.

[@jimb12312]

> For a man who discovered an entire mathematical technique Are you referring to the fast inverse square root? That was falsely credited to Carmack. It was designed by a pair of mathematicians in the early 80s (Cleve Moler and Gregory Walsh)

[@sohatyi]

@@jimb12312 oh that's so interesting! I keep seeing it being referenced in videos to this day.

[@Astfgl]

@@sohatyi It's also made out to be a much bigger deal than it actually is. Yes it's a very clever technique and yes it helped speed up some of the game's math, but it's often presented as if it's THE reason why Quake 3 is so fast and that's just nonsense. The reason why Quake is so fast is because of smart design, tight and efficient programming, thorough optimization, and overall strong discipline on the part of the entire team at id Software.

[@edwest2263]

Possibly the best looking game on the Saturn. IMO it still looks impressive today, especially when compared to PS1 and N64 games of the time. I always wanted this back in the day and I finally picked it up a few years ago NIB. It did not disappoint, and it is much more playable with the 3d control pad.

Still had UMK3, STREET FIGHTER ALPHA 2 ,X MEN CotA,DIE HARD TRILOGY, RESIDENT EVIL and still own all of these in their og giant plastic cases. Guess i wasnt into fps or just never seen these advertized so i never asked parents for them or saved for them.

[@jimbox114]

My fav FPS hands down is Duke Nukem 3D. I was 15 when it came out and I remember putting the PC version in layaway and cutting grass, chores, etc to save up for it. Needless to say was estatic once I finally got to play the full version. I used to be big into the custom maps also even going as far as to make several levels based on my high school at the time. Never new this game ran so well on the Sega Saturn. I think what I liked so well was you actually felt like you were in a real place. So many other FPS made these large elaborate areas that didn't feel real. With Duke Nukem 3D you felt like you were in a city, restaurant, alien ship, canyon, etc.

[@multitrackdriftu]

This was the only version of Duke 3D I had played until very recently. I actually had no idea about the PC version's warped geometry when looking up and down due to the Build engine until just last year, kind of surprised you didn't mention that it's a non-issue on the Saturn due to Slavedriver. For a time, the Saturn version could have possibly been argued as being the definitive version of the game for this reason alone. Of course, you can't go wrong with any version of Duke 3D. Hail to the King, baby.

[@homiedclown]

"Of course, you can't go wrong with any version of Duke 3D. Hail to the King, baby." The MegaDrive version of Duke 3D says hello!

[@miesvaillanykyisyytta3252]

@Vicious Alien Klown World I think the Saturn version may suffer from some rare polygon clipping (not sure what it's called exactly) at times. Like in the second level or so when you first encounter the pig cop in a flying vehicle and enemies show up from behind the corner early in that level I would sometimes see frames of the enemies through the wall, which I don't remember having on PS or PC but I have never played any version all the way to the end so for all I know Saturn may have had less graphical bugs than the rest.

Duke 3d and Doom famously have no z-buffer which leads to the distortion.

[@FiremanKevin]

LOVED this port. Loved all things Sega. From master system to the Dreamcast.

[@cireza_]

Saturn version is the only one I can actually play. Everytime I try another port, I can't help but see everything that is missing. The Saturn port runs on a true 3D engine, and you have these tilts effects when turning that only exist in this version, as well as the ambient lighting. The game is also smooth enough to be perfectly enjoyable on a CRT, so that's how I end up replaying this game every once in a while. Back then, FPS had fantastic level-design.

[@Jefepato]

Honestly, I'm just happy to encounter someone else who remembers the first two Duke Nukem games. I don't think I'd realized that DN3D continued directly from the second game's ending. I always feel completely nuts when I think about the first two games, because the tone was so completely different. I mean, Duke was still fundamentally the same character, a pretty cliche (in an entertaining way) action hero, but the first two games weren't exactly adult material and then suddenly Duke Nukem 3D had strippers. Hell of a thing to discover when you're 11. >_>

[@JonM-ts7os]

It was amazing on the saturn such a big game and ran like magic on that box. For me its up there with Sega Rally as top Saturn games.

[@pantonio7171]

Damn I was expecting a jank port but instead it’s a work of art. Incredible what the Saturn was capable of.

[@KristianLander]

Worth a mention that the UK s Official Sega Saturn magazine seemed to have a great kinship with Lobotomy. Jevons one of the staff was invited to their HQ and did some interviews regarding Duke and Quake. Jevons famously gave them the idea of the different control scheme. Using the 3D analogue to look. Using YZB&C for strafe and movement. Freeing up the dpad for items select and use. Triggers as jump and fire! So impressed by the suggestion. It's dubbed the Jevons code in the game when activated and also Quake features the layout to.

[@noaht2005]

It’s great to see at least one American dev cared about Saturn development

[@drgreenrinse]

Great review as always. One of my favourite Saturn games of the era. One thing though - I completely understand the control frustrations, however if you have an analogue controller you can input a cheat to enable Jevons Control which allows you to play in a more modern control method and you dont have to pause whenever you want to use an item: On the analogue pad, pause the game and press YYZZXXYXZ. Unpause the game and you'll see the message Jevons Control: On. The analogue pad will always make you look up, down, left and right. The other controls are as follows: A: Open Door/Drink/Action B: Backward C: Strafe right X: Use item Y: Strafe left Z: Walk Forward L: Shoot R: Jump D-pad Up/Down: Select item D-pad Left/Right: Select weapon

[@miroslavzima8856]

The movement is somehow nauseating (it would take me few levels to get used to). But hell! I can´t believe how fluent it is. Porting done right! :)

[@SavageMontreal]

I noticed that the view point tends to tilt slightly as the player turns corners. Not something you see a lot in first person shooters. I'm usually pretty prone to motion sickness in certain games, especially when they have lots of dark areas (I still haven't finished Alien Trilogy, and never even got to see the alien in the latest Alien game as a result). However, I didn't get that feeling while watching this video, although admittedly, I haven't played this game myself.

[@richardg8376]

Also the horrendous texture warping when viewing walls at shallow angles (see 3:10). The tilted view and warping textures create a really disorientating, almost surreal experience at times. Its interesting how this generation of consoles came right at that awkward phase when the console manufacturers and game developers were still trying to figure out how 3D graphics and gameplay should work. Each console's 3D capabilities were compromised in ways that they wouldn't have been with the benefit of hindsight.

Duke Nukem looks like the short haired Jeff Jarrett that we saw back in the Attitude Era and WCW days and yes, Jarrett also wore sunglasses back then. I can't help but think that Jarrett's look back then was influenced by the Duke Nukem videogame character.

Played an ungodly amount of Dukematches with my friends, though, I never paid much attention to the console ports, figuring they'd simply be watered down versions of the PC game. It was only a couple of years ago that John Linneman from Digital Foundry made me aware of how unique the Saturn port actually is, and so after hearing that I decided to finally try it out. Ended up playing through all of it, and on original hardware no less. Really good stuff :)

Looking it up they were making Exhumed/Powerslave 2 on the PlayStation and they were bought by Crave Entertainment and Powerslave 2 and another project they were working on were cancelled. They were then forced to work on a Ceasars Palace Gambling game on N64 (Which to me sounds real shitty). There's an interview with one of the members circa 2015 (I would post it but whenever I leave links KZbin removes my comments) where he says him and another buddy from Lobotomy went back to work at Nintendo of America (They came from NOA before founding Lobotomy). That's about all I can find without a deep dive. Edit : Paul Lange one of the cofounder of Lobotomy went to work at Microsoft. Currently he's "Project and program management contract with Microsoft Studio Alpha."
