There is more than just a half-finished game. There's the restoration project, which aims to complete it. There's the 2003 project, which aims to reimplement it in a custom version of id Tech 4 with some features of id Tech 5. And we got the various builds of Duke Nukem Critical Mass, with all of their assets.

For me, this version gives me the "It was a great game, a success story but it's old and this is the final game of the franchise" type of vibe. It is a banger and I'll be really really happy if they manage to make this game a complete one.

@@lugbzurg8987 Not the DS game, but the never released PSP game. It's a completely different game: a third-person shooter that plays out in semi-open levels. It can be played with PPSSPP v1.0.1 and it feels like a PC game circa 2002. It comes with the full source code, as well as all levels in the format of 3D Studio Max 2010. I started messing around with the level files to see what I could do, and I managed to port some of them (architecture only) to Unreal.

@@DevilMaster OH! Thanks! Not sure how I missed this. 2001 has just been overshadowing everything. I don't think there's been this much Duke Nukem hype since 2001 itself.

Glad we finally have this out there. ;)

This musical piece right here is the most perfect awesome track my ears have EVER listened to. It is only to me rivaled by the original score done for Dragonball Z by Bruce Falconer. This theme perfectly personifies the power, confidence, and dominating presence of Duke Nukem. What I love most is that subtle drum beat you can hear in the background. LITERALLY the heartbeat of the 90's beating strong and will last FOREVER!!!

The best Duke theme in my opinion. Love the ambience fx and the synths in the background. Especially the little part at 1:18 . So glad we finally have a full quality version of this!!!

I did not know people like you existed out there. I was so passionate about this version (and the game version too) I thought I had poor taste at some point. But it seems like other metal fans realize this is still the best version. Thank you for the upload, Sir! Greetings from Central Europe!
