Duke Nukem Forever Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Saturday April 1, 2006 @05:23AM from the future-of-gaming dept.

Aranth writes "The staff at Ars Technica has gotten its hands on a demo of Duke Nukem Forever, and has written up a review. It seems the game is near ready for release! As the article explains, the reason it has taken so long to develop is because this is the first real Web 3.0 application- it has 'been rewritten as an Ajax application written using the Ruby on Rails framework' and runs in any web browser, although some seem to have difficulties." Sadly, the game looks to be deficient in the area of ponies. :(((( But, it's playable from my hiptop!! :))))

So... will it run on linux?
Wow. I've heard of not reading the freaking article but this takes the cake. Yes it will run linux.

Opera 8.5 was a bit glitchy, with some of the dialog being rendered in what sounded like a Scandinavian accent.

Classic.

I used to think the games section had the worst color scheme.

I am sad that I was wrong.

You will all get the joke the editors had in mind when you wake up tomorrow morning and ./ is still pink. :)
