In short: we're reconstructing the Duke Nukem Forever of the Good Timeline: The Duke Nukem 2001 Restoration Project is our attempt to take the leaked 2001 Build and apply passionate modder know-how, 20 years of foresight, all the concept art and interviews and design documents we could scrounge up, and the undying dreams of classic FPS fans everywhere in order to correct one of gaming's biggest mistakes. What if Duke wasn't stuck on a treadmill to show up everything else on the market? What if 3D Realms believed in their product instead of being too insecure in the face of Doom 3? What if this game, the promising darling from the turn of the millennium, was finished and put on store shelves? But it only made the pain in our hearts deeper. While the "2001 Build" is far from a complete game, many of the core gameplay elements are solid, the assets that are present look great, and the game even in this state had some tricks up its sleeve that we didn't even expect from the original trailer.
Classic FPS fans the world over, still bearing heartbreak from the disappointing eventual release of the game in 2011, were enamored. This is the version of the game that was seen in the now-infamous E3 2001 trailer of the game, featuring the Las Vegas skyline at night, Duke powersliding a motorcycle under an 18-wheeler, incredible facial animation that wouldn't be bested until Half-Life 2 years later, and a certain old coot prospector who has some very specific tastes regarding eyewear. UPDATE: Come Get Some! Our First Slice is OUT NOW! The entire first chapter of the game restored, with many more to come! Īs you are no doubt aware, last May the so-called "2001 Build" of Duke Nukem Forever was leaked and released to the public.
