Duke Nukem 3D is out on Xbox Live!

just bought it,
it looks really good for a 12 year old doom alike and controls well.
$10 download, game has 40 levels, online play and such.
and when you die you can choose spot at which point you'd like to respawn(kind of casual approach I guess), but it works and you don't have to get back to your last save point every time(and it's pretty easy to die on medium difficulty).
excellent game, just as I remembered it.

definitely worth buying ^^

 

Yup, played it myself last night and some friends and i are already arranging for a big old school Duke Match this Friday.

Good times!

Now that I have DN3D on a modern console I couldn't really care less about Duke Nukem Forever.

Also, the game lets you record movies of gameplay which can be shared with friends like in Halo 3 (not a great game, but IMO the video recording/sharing should be freaking standard for all FPS games from now on).

 

Yup. Very nice indeed. Lots and lots of fun in multiplayer. Been kickin' some ass online

 

But there's still no reason Mega Man 9 should've been delayed because of this.

Good game though

 

But I've been playing megaman 9 for days now - oh...

right...

you're anti wii.

anywho - i am not sure I like this "die, rewind" type of game play. makes it seem TOO easy.

 

Man, I couldn't make the topic. I can barely even play the game because i'm pretty sick. I did manage to make it through the first episode tonight but a bad head cold combined with 2D/3D graphics like this makes me nausuas. I will finish it when I'm better though!

Duke Nukem needs his space.

It works out pretty well. I mean, your just going to be saving and reloading anyhow, it pretty much works out like that. It has for me, anyway.

 

remakes and old games are the bread and butter of this generation in the absence of new quality titles dear Kevin =)

PS: at least this approach offers content in the interim wait for hyped titles.

 

well... i'm REALLY looking forward to Fable 2, Fallout 3, and Gears of War 2 all being on the same freaking console. :drool:

 

I *think* i d prefer getting Fallout 3 on the PS3, considering the ability to install some of the stuff instead of streaming everything - that said, the new dump/virtual drive thing the Fall update will offer should be interesting.

I also feel more comfortable with the 360 controller for these types of games naturally so the final ingredient to decide upon seems to be the performance on each console (before you jump on me about the Pc version, please keep in mind my PC is not a high-end machine)

 

The likes of Bioshock, COD4, MoHA and PGR4 (to name just a few) are simply stunning (and in some cases not exclusive).

....DN3D on the 360 just confirms that the 360 is still the best 'gamers' machine on the market, end of.

Roll on Fallout 3, COD WaW and Fable 2, amen.

 

Gears of War 2 isn't old....neither is Mega Man 9.

I think the biggest appeal with this is it's the first time DN3D has been easily playable online.

 

It's the slowest download I've ever seen on my 360... I'm not sure if that's an indication of popularity. You'd think they'd be able to serve an 85mb download at faster than 15-40k/sec. Wouldn't fancy downloading a HD movie at those speeds.

 

Yeah, it took surprisingly long here as well, not sure why.

 

Wierd, I downloaded it about an hour after it came out in less then 2 minutes on standard cable net. Maybe it's getting a lot of downloads.

 

40KB is low?! wow..:$

 

For 8Mbit or whatever I'm running it is.

 

well here in Greece you get a 24Mbit connection but your true download speed is rarely above 100 kByte in my experience. Do you actually get your advertised speeds? Ours are advertised as 24Mbit* *maximum, actual speed may vary or something to that aveil

that said, we have a shitty infrastructure for the most part, relying on really old twisted copper wire pairs (with tons of noise). Fiber optics are slowly emerging but wont make a dent yet.

 

I'm currently out in the middle of nowhere (rural Wales), we were quoted an actual speed of 50kb/sec before broadband was put in but it's usually been 100kb/sec max (i.e. 1mbit). Still, I'm not used to seeing downloads off xbla peaking and troughing in the 10-40k range like this download did.

Finally came down and yep... Duke Nukem 3D, just as I remember it. The perspective is more fucked than I remember it being (walls warp as you turn around, that sort of thing), and it's a little disappointing they didn't add a widescreen perspective, but overall it's a reasonable port.

 

Yeah, I actually very nearly spewed after playing for 5 minutes....accuracy to the classic look is one thing but comeon....turning on perspective correction would have been easy...I believe that some of the modern windows ports do it.
