I Have A Hard Time Believing This Duke Nukem 3D Map Was Drawn From Memory, But OK

We’ve written about Mapstalgia a couple times before. On the tumblr, people submit maps of classic games that they’ve drawn from memory. This map of the Red Light District from Duke Nukem 3D, strains the whole “from memory” aspect of things, but it’s still impressive.

In Defence Of Duke Nukem Forever

Who is Duke Nukem, and why – after all of these years – are we still talking about him? One of our readers has described him as a “character that people actually love or hate. Or feel something about. As opposed to military personnel (1) and (1a).” In a sea of “blandness,” according to the reader, the Duke is something to be excited about – outdated graphics and overlong loading screens be damned.

New Duke Nukem Forever Screens In Duke 3D

Reader Rezz Man (possibly not his real name) sent us a link to a YouTube video showing off two hidden Duke Nukem Forever screenshots hidden in the Xbox Live Arcade release of Duke Nukem 3D. The two shots are the last two pictures unlocked in the game’s gallery. From the video description: First image appears to be Duke reloading his pistol in front of an enemy Octabrain. From the backdrop of the level, it looks like some sort of dam. You can see another Octabrain in the background on the top left. Second image is just Duke smirking with two scantily clad women in the background.

Of course this doesn’t indicate the game is coming anytime soon; who knows how many bits of DNF concept art 3D Realms has floating around at this point. Still a nice nod to the fans who’ve been waiting forever for something, anything.

Duke Nukem 3D Kicks XBLA Arse This Wednesday

Here’s here to kick arse and chew bubblegum, and he’s all out of gum! Duke Nukem makes his triumphant return to the gaming scene this week as Duke Nukem 3D this Wednesday for a measly 800 Microsoft points. The game features the tried and true gameplay of the original, along with 8 players co-op and DukeMatch games via Xbox Live, and the ability to save your matches and share them with friends. They’ve even added some technical improvements to the game in the form of controller vibration, bilinear filtering, motion blur, and Xbox Live Vision Camera support for those of you who want to add hand-motions to your trash talking.

It might not be Duke Nukem Forever, but then again what is yet?

Duke Nukem 3D XBLA Trailer

3D Realms have released a trailer for the timey-wimey-rewindey XBLA port of Duke Nukem 3D.

If you missed the news, it’s the classic PC FPS given an XBLA tweaking with the ability to stop and replay the action at any point – like Braid but with more RPGs, lapdancers and probably-satirical porcine police officers.
