Oh, and it is not possible to bind mouse button 4 on onward, only left, right and middle. And some of the sprites changed their appearance, for example the iconic six-pack aka big medikit. E1L6 "The Abyss", has now one more secret area than in the original. And my biggest issue, they changed the maps, e.g. Things like freezing enemies from far away an finish them with a pistol shot and switching back is not possible with this. The also changed the Next Weapon/Previous Weapon system to be much slower then in the original, which is completely fucked up if you know the original. There is an option to resort to legacy Duke Talk, which sounds much better in my opinion. Except for the "Duke Talk" which has been rerecorded with the original voice actor, but it feels so out of place. When compared to my native eduke32 version, where you can use a 44kHz sample rate for audio (the original in 1996 had 22kHz), the Anniversary Edition has worse sound than in 1996. The normal game sound is already bad quality, but I assume the even dumbed that down. I also bought the Anniversary Edition, as I really want to play the new levels, but I have my issues with this edition of the game. I own Megaton Edition on Steam, and Atomic Edition on GOG, so I am a lucky guy for now. Wanted to post the same as wolfyrion, as the shitstorm over Gearbox was real :D Seems a fair few people are pretty unhappy with this new edition too.

All current owners get to keep the game, but the title will no longer be available for purchase through the PlayStation Network, Steam, Humble Store and other authorized digital distributors and Steam key vendors.įollowing the end of our distribution agreement of Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition, Gearbox Software will take over publishing rights of the title.ĭuke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tour is the new updated title that only supports Windows, as it uses DirectX 11. QuoteDevolver Digital’s distribution agreement for Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition has ended and the game is no longer for sale. It's nice that previous owners of Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition get to keep their copy (as they bloody well should!), but now anyone on Linux wanting old school Duke Nukem (that don't own it already) are a bit out of luck.

Gearbox took over the rights to Duke Nukem and Devolver's deal for Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition has ended, so essentially Duke Nukem 3D Megaton Edition is no more and there is no Linux support for the new Gearbox-published edition. For fans of oldschool Duke Nukem on Linux, sadly you're now out of luck.
