Duke Nukem: Critical Mass

Developer: Frontline Studios
Platform: PlayStation Portable

Rather than being a mediocre side scroller, the PSP version is more a throwback to Duke's 3D adventures on consoles. Strangely its source code was discovered to have ended up in the US Library of Congress. Multiple builds and the source code were released by Obscure Gamers and Unseen64 on April 5th, 2022.

Hmmm...

Prioritise unused content found across the builds here, with differences/unique content between builds on a proto page.

Bombshell

7 years after laying of their workforce, Gearbox Software finishing the mess they could not finish and not one but two lawsuits with Gearbox over the Duke IP. 3D Realms is back with a new game, Bombshell!

Well, can't say they didn't try at least...

Not only was the namesake of this game planned as a supporting character in Duke Nukem Forever, but this game was originally a Duke game called Duke Nukem: Mass Destruction.

DNF Subpage Stuff

Unused Animations

{{subpage|Unused Animations|text="What? Did you think I would just stay stuck in a pre-rendered .bik ''forever?''"}}

This is a sub-page of User:Mantis.

Duke Nukem Forever's animations exist in anims.dat and animsdir.dat in SkinMeshes.

Prerendered Video Animations

While techinically used, many animations seen in pre-rendered videos of the game exist amongst the animations and as such aren't used. Either leftover due to such sequences being rendered real time or more simply unintentionally left in.

Duke Main Menu Idle

Found in duke_retarget is duke_startsrceen_idle.anm, Duke's idle animation from the title screen.

Attract/Intro Duke

Found in the duke_attract folder are Duke's animations from the attract/intro video summarizing Duke Nukem 3D.

Proto:Duke Nukem Forever/2001/Music

This is a sub-page of User:Mantis.

The prototypes feature a couple of songs made by composer Lee Jackson. Jackson later left 3D Realms and subsequently production of Duke Nukem Forever sometime in 2002. None of the tracks featured here made there way into the final game. The following tracks are sorted by their copyright metadata.

The Stalker Returns

StalkerReturns22C.mp3

You're Standing On My Foot

Ambient tracks

Action tracks

YSOMF_Action01.mp3 You're Standing On My Foot - Action 2

Planet Forbidden

Planet Forbidden On June 29th 2022, Jackson would release the full WAV, where he provided some commentary about the track.[1]

Planet Forbidden is an unused ambience file from Duke Nukem Forever, created by me around mid-2000 or so. It's made up of several segments, both ambient and action alike, that were intended to loop separately from the whole WAV file. What is presented here is the original WAV file in its entirety.

The filename is a tribute to the science fiction classic film, "Forbidden Planet," and especially to the groundbreaking score created by Bebe and Louis Barron. (I actually received notes from Bebe Barron while creating "Planet Forbidden," with information about things like how her husband would build new electronic circuits and burn them out just to get a single sound for the soundtrack.) The filename is also a bit of a joke, reversed in the way that a certain "backwards" friend spoke to Dr. McCoy in "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock."

I do not remember exactly which of my synths were involved in the creation of this file, but the ones I did use came from the following group:

Kurzweil K2500RS
Kawai K5000R
Roland SC-88
E-Mu E4XT

Stinger tracks

Penthouse Ambience songs

According to the metadata of the songs, they were originally written for another game but were repurposed for Duke Nukem Forever.

DNF Data page

This page contains info on data for the game Duke Nukem Forever.

The following is a guide on the game's .dat files, how to open them and assist in navigation. This will discuss the file, what's in it and discuss any subfolders if need be. Programs like Noesis can help with opening the .dat files.

Do note that Noesis is currently unable to open every .dat file of the DLC (namely the sounds). If you know any alternatives for this, please mention it here. SoundDir.dat
