Duke Nukem 3D/EDuke32 w/ Polymer and High-Res Pack. Anyone know if these mods will work with 3DTV Pl
I'm wondering if there are any of you that have done this. Now I know that Duke Nukem Forever is natively supported by 3D Vision, but since that game was crummy as heck, I decided to go back to the old faithful Duke 3D using the community-based EDuke32 port with Polymer and the High-Res Pack. I'm wondering if HRP and Polymer together were DirectX-based at all. I was about ready to reinstall Duke 3D Atomic, and redownload those mods/ports...but before I do so, I'm taking a check to see if anyone else has this setup that can tell me if 3D Vision will work on it. Anybody able to get it to work?

Yes, I've played through the Duke 3d HRP pack. It uses opengl so no go on 3d vision. Too bad, since it looks great.

BTW, you thought Duke Forever was crummy? Man... I enjoyed that game so much, Steam says I've played 82 hours. I thought the graphics were sharp, 3d was perfect, gunplay was spot on and felt powerful. I loved the "take a break" maps like the strip club where you have to do a bunch of goofy things (and look at tits). Multiplayer is so ****ing fun! Especially after years of playing CoD, and clones. Nothing more satisfying than shrinking a group of dudes fighting each other, throwing a pipe bomb in the midst... BOOOM.. duke parts fly everywhere! LMAO so much damn fun!

I really don't see what anyone has against DNF. I've had an absolute blast with the game.

I agree, I absolutely loved DNF. A couple levels dragged on a little bit, but overall it brought back the original magic. I can only imagine people that don't like it have either never played a Duke game, or didn't actually play DNF and are going off word of mouth.

Played Duke I&II and DN3D for many years, I love 'em.

DNF was a decent game but it didn't feel like a Duke game. In my opinion, of course.

What'd you think of Duke Nukem Zero Hour? That one didn't feel like a Duke game when it came out. But going back and playing it now it does.

Maybe DNF will age well :D

I dunno, I just don't like that Halo-style concept that DNF uses, just doesn't feel like a real Duke game to me at all. Maybe I'm just getting old, and knowing what made Duke DUKE back in the day, and feel that DNF doesn't live up to that. Just feels too much like a generic FPS without much personality other than having Duke Nukem as the character.
