Fricken' Hurricane Ike has had my cable broadband knocked out since it arrived and the front office said service is expected to restore on Wednesday. If so, it will be a happy, happy day indeed.

Bought, 3DRealms, oh so bought.

Oh right, I forgot to address this niggling yet annoying issue.

why is Duke Nukem 3D only for the XBLA they ask. As it happens I have the answer to this.

X08: Duke Nukem 3D coming to XBLA 'sometime in September'

18 Comments by Xav de Matos Aug 21st 2008 2:56PM


In an interview with Xbox representative Jason Ing, it was revealed to Joystick that Duke Nukem 3D, developed by 3D Realms, has passed certification and is expected to release "sometime in September." The Xbox Live Arcade revival, which sports the same minimal graphical enhancements as Doom did on the service, is being published by Microsoft and is an exclusive release for the platform.

There you have it, Duke Nukem 3D is not coming to the PSN because 3D Relams gave publishing rights to this version to Microsoft. Now, I am going to nail this bit of info to the OP and that should be the end of this obnoxious whining about how this game isn't on another service. Don't like it, go buy Wipeout HD or something, there is little that can be done.

I don't think this has been asked yet. I can't remember how Duke3D controlled, but I want to say it was one of the first games that I had to use the mouse with to 'free-look'. Does anyone know if this is a free-look shooter using the controller or is it more like Doom on XBLA where basically it autoaims completely?

I hope its free-look.

I'll give this one a miss. I finished it back in the day. But the thought of playing the Build engine, one of the only quasi 3D engines that would ever give me motion sickness, on a large TV.. It's already making me feel ill just thinking about it.

Besides that. It was a fun game, but never really did anything for me. I pretty much played every FPS game that came out back in those days and nothing came close to DOOM and Quake.

Oh shit, I wish I would have saw this post earlier. I was hoping it'd release within the hour...I don't think I can make it another hour. Dammit. *looks over at bed*

Yeah, I'll just have to wait until tomorrow afternoon to play it. :(

No, I mean those outside the U.S. But you say you got it? WTF?! :lol I am using a U.S. account in Japan; maybe it's just locked out here.

Such bullshit.

Yup, banned in Germany and Japan. Thanks 3D Realms for not making the U.S. version a region-free download. :/

Ooooohh better netcode then Castle Crashers. Castle Crashers you have been given notice! Good thing is I haven't given myself a headache while playing yet, which I sometimes get playing Doom on my TV. I've noticed the scary thing is that I have not lost my touch and remember ever single hidden area in the game despite not playing this game for years.

Haha, I'm the same way.

So far so good with the netcode.

Also, I still tend to blow myself up with the RPG when I run passed a mirror. :\ :lol

I just purchased it. Fantastic, I'm nearly drowning in nostalgia.
I can't believe I still remember where all of the secrets are.

And the lame-ass sound bytes!

*Walks up to Duke arcade game*
"I don't have time to play with myself"

Awful and awesome at the same time.

It takes me bak to when I was a 14 year old gamer.
If I could have run this so smoothly on my old computer back then I would have pissed myself.
