[ALL] Duke Nukem 3D remake

[IamMedellin]

The return of Duke Nukem Forever has inspired a flash of Duke Nukem fever in at least one enterprising game maker, who is planning on recreating 1996's Duke Nukem 3D in the Unreal Engine.

Gearbox forumgoer "fresch" has begun drumming up enthusiasm for his homebrewed remake of 3D Realms' first-person shooter, showing in-progress builds of the Duke Nukem 3D remake to fellow Duke fans. Duke Nukem Next-Gen is old-school action recreated "as if the game was made today, on modern technology."

Based on the handful of shots "fresch" has released, it's looking sharp. But are we looking at another Black Mesa: Source, the perpetually in-the-works fan-made makeover for Valve's Half-Life? Maybe.

The man behind Duke Nukem Next-Gen has previously worked on aborted attempts to remake Daikatana (seriously!) and SiN. But "fresch" says he's trying to get the blessing of 3D Realms' Scott Miller and George Broussard and is soliciting fellow Duke enthusiasts who are interested in contributing.

At the very least, these Unreal Engine 3 based screen shots are simply pretty nostalgia to Duke Nukem 3D players.

Duke Nukem: Next-Gen, that ambitious attempt to remake the original Duke Nukem 3D using the Unreal Engine, has been granted a "personal non-commercial license" by Gearbox Studios. Meaning it may actually be released.

The license means it's completely cool for the project to not only remake the original game, but to use the Duke Nukem name and branding all over it as well. The game's project lead Frederik "Fresch" Schreiber even tells us the remake will be receiving official support from Gearbox, the developers currently finishing off the long-in-development Duke Nukem Forever.

Now we know the project won't be shut down, all that's left to wonder is whether Duke Nukem: Next-Gen, unlike so many other promising mods and remakes, can actually ever be completed.

Looks nice. I'd really be interested in seeing how this turns out. It would be great if both this and Black Mesa were eventually released.
