Exploring the Unique Xbox 360 Port of Duke Nukem 3D 

hola peter como estas peter

Terve, Peter!

It primarily depends on the RNG complexity of the game as well. DOOM and Duke Nukem 3D are primitive in it's RNG, I mean DOOM literally only records your inputs in a demo lump because the RNG table is fixed. Other games (I know of) record demos like this is Halo 3, Halo 3 ODST, Halo Reach and Halo 4 and it's ports in Halo the Master Chief Collection (the theatre system). And based on the interviews and developer commentaries from Bungie devs who made Halo, they said that they had to simplify AI to be more predictable so that theatre system can record AI movements as well, that's why theatre system couldn't be implemented for Halo 1 and Halo 2. That's why is easy to record multiplayer session as a demo because they only need to record all player inputs and simpler RNG like damage variation, spread, etc. Also there is that issue where devs don't want to spend efforts to code such a system in, especially now that it's easy to send High resolution recordings via internet.

All things considered, shut up.

It feels like a feature that should more widely available. It's great for teaching people how to speedrun!

I forgot about it until I was recording footage and I was quietly blown away by it

Joe Siegler has a ton of really interesting anecdotes from working at 3DR/Apogee.

I know what I'll be doing tonight....

Lucky to have a gamer dad!

true

Are you talking about megaton or was there a port on steam before that port?

Plus this isn't the Megaton version; which had them.

Thats the sad thing, it didn't get that much publicity

I didn’t know either brother😢

The leaderboards need to make a comeback

@@ThatNukemGuy these type of leaderboards, I agree, and hopefully, not hacked ones.

That's DirectX, which has always been the only de facto standard of Graphics APIs exclusive to Xbox consoles.

@@wadmodderschalton5763 and the Megaton edition uses OpenGL, hence why it's not on Xbox 360.

If you want the addons they're available if you buy the game on Zoom platform (not to be confused with the video conferencing service). It doesn't include the Megaton port itself but you're better off running something like Rednukem nowadays anyway

I've made that joke numerous times playing this level on this channel hehe

@@ThatNukemGuy Hats off to you for not ruining a joke by making it too obvious for dullards like me! This is one of the handful of reasons why I'm tempted to get a 360 again, these old XBLA purchases locked away in my account!

The PS3 and Vita got the Megaton Edition, which included the expansions

Kind of. It's based on JFDuke3D, but with rewind features ported in from the XBLA version (they were not available on the PC megaton edition)

I am lowkey considering doing streams where I try to make that happen.

@@ThatNukemGuy I'm down to farm the achievements with y'all

​@@ThatNukemGuyI would absolutely join in!

Which one? I'm curious now...

@@ThatNukemGuy YoshiChief

@@Yeenuwu That's really cool, small world haha

PS4 and Xbone didn't get Megaton, they got the World Tour edition

@@Phredreeke ah ok my bad, but yeah, the ps3 Megaton Edition is very similar or the same engine and base features? to the 360 port, If i remember. They just added in the expansion packs, and i remember the game was buggy and glitchy even they patched/fixed it a few times, it's still abit glitchy.

Overall Megaton is the better package so Vita got it good.

@ThatNukemGuy I'm glad the Vita got it The aiming is not tuned great but I was able to beat it Really used that playback feature You can also jump into the leaderboards gameplay you just won't qualify for trophies or leaderboards Games is well cool
