Great mod!
Fantastic mod! Makes DNF 2011 play more like Duke 3D.
what a great time to be a duke nukem fan.
Just replayed DNF 2011 with this mod, did not touched it since 2014, time flies.
Here is my feedback using the Enhanced 1.11 mod (gameplay & visuals).
I ENJOYED:
-The graphical improvements.
-Possibility to have all weapons in inventory like Duke 3D, that's how it should have been from the start.
-Player movement feels better.
-Underwater sections are no more frustrating, you have time to have a look around without constantly search for oxygen.
-I did not use quicksaves but it's a nice touch, especially if you discover the game.
-Possibility of changing FOV plus less screen shaking during action was better for motion sickness.
-The mighty foot to quick *****, doors, boxes… thanks!
-Possibility to keep DNF 2011 HUD or try a new one (I tried the second while I was at it).
POSSIBLE IMPROVEMENTS:
-Possibility to rebind everything, i.e. the mighty foot key.
-Moving faster was cool but is it possible to add a key to toggle running mode like in the past?
Could help for some platforming sections.
-It was already reported but the railgun scope is not working (black screen).
-Could you add a button so when you're in a vehicle you can switch between 1st or 3rd person view?
-There were two crosshairs visible during the Mighty Foot chapter introduction, when you're using the turret in the aircraft.
-The crosshair was also visible during the final cutscene.
-I had a missing string during loading screens: <?int?loading.titles.loadgame?> (playing with English version of the game).
-I know you will update your HUD and you will add some missing stuff too (like special items). I noticed the two bombs you need to blow the dam did not appear in your HUD as well (just the x2 indicator).
TO CONCLUDE!
Good job to the people behind this mod!
With a few little fixes it will be a perfect way to enjoy DNF 2011.
It's nice you made a variant of the mod which just upgrades visuals.
To finish on a funny note, I did not remember the game itself was so mediocre. Sure, it was not great and I was disappointed when it finally came out, but seriously… what where they thinking when they wrote the dialogues, especially in Vegas… nothing like Duke 3D… it's like a bad comedy with forced jokes & stereotypes… it was so cringe at times and should be rewritten then rerecorded ahah (well that's my opinion for sure). 😅
Will happily try next mod version if it becomes compatible with Proton DLC! 👍
Update 29th Oct. 2022:
Changed rating from 7 to 8 because author releases updates to improve everything.
He also expanded vanilla edition with extra improvements for the main game but also Proton DLC; thanks!
Best mod to improve version of Duke Nukem Forever (2011)!
Muito bom. Uma coisa que me incomoda um pouco é a quantidade dos decals do jogo (marcas de bala nas paredes/sangue)... Eles desaparecem muito rápido. Poderiam ajustar isso também, ficaria perfeito!
Love It!
An amazing mod!
