Saved films for Duke Nukem XBLA News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Out in September says Microsoft.

Duke Nukem 3D will sport a saved-film feature when the game launches on Xbox Live Arcade next month.

Or so say Microsoft representatives speaking at X08 in Canada, according to Joystiq.

Saved films do what you expect, and will be shareable with friends and maybe family if they play games or maybe just want to see how you are getting on in life.

3D Realms popped Duke Nukem 3D into Microsoft certification earlier this week. We still know fairly little about what to expect, but hope split-screen and Live multiplayer make an appearance, if not two appearances.

3D Realms boss George Broussard told us to expect a price of "about what you'd expect", which we expect means we'll have to remortgage the house. Or possibly pay 800 Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.60).

What are you waiting for, Christmas?

>saved-film feature

Errr??? A bit useless in this game isn't it? Not like the 3D engine will be amazing to look at. I would have preferred dev time going to something else here.

No split screen, but online multiplayer/coop. Hasn't this been announced already? I'm sure I've read that.

This should be great - I remember having more fun with this game than I did Quake 2.

There's also a rewind feature (like Prince of Persia) so you can warp back to pre-death if you so desire. Not that you'd need it.

Great news! Revenue from this should afford 3D Realms to buy up to two months worth of food for the hamsters that generate electricity for the 3D Realms workstations on their threadmills. Should put the release of Duke Nukem Forever back on thrack, those hamsters have been looking rather tired lately.

I want! I want! I want!

Nothing like 10 straight deathmatches of Duke Nukem 3D with mates at a LAN Party followed by an hour's break on the beach with some brewskies (that's my teenage years, that was) *sigh

It's actually still quite easy to get this to work on Vista if anyone has the original disc lying about. I've been having a blast with it recently.

http://vis ion.gel.ulaval.ca/~klein/duke3d/ - this is what I used Foo. Can't remember having that much trouble with it. You do need the original though (well, you can play the first episode for free without it - ahh, the good old days of shareware!)

The orginal had this feature as well, unfortunately you could press the 'K' key midgame if you were recording a match to see from your oponents perspective - a bit of a cheat some used during the Wireplay days.

Duke nukem 3D had the most depth out of any online FPS I've ever played because of the diverse weapons - looking forward to it!

Somehow doubt that this will only be 800 points, 1200 sounds a bit more likely!

depends on if they've updated the engine much

Old 2d games age okay

early 3d games (like this one) look like shite nowadays - and next to impossible to play...
