Duke Nukem 3D is now on Steam! [formerly D3D/SW speculation thread]

Closed
AzureFang

What are you waiting for... Christmas?
Who wanta some Wang?

Listings have been up for 3 months, but as of this posting SW was just updated 13 days ago, and Duke was updated today. The recent updates were apparently naming the game hubs, and the two games are listed as both separate and bundled offerings, with one of the bundled IDs listed as "Proof of Prepurchase", indicating a possibility for digital preorder.

Personally, for D3D, I hope it's the remastered version made available for the 360.

Thoughts? Hopes? Insults?

EDIT: Peroxide provided a twitter link from Devolver Digital with a small blurb about the D3D project that shows the same achievement icons as the 360 version. DD is the company behind Serious Sam and I think had some work on the 360 version of D3D. Thanks Peroxide!

EDIT2: LukeMistycrest brings to light that DD's twitter is actually live with info about D3D right now. A blurb I really like is the inclusion of many 3rd-party expansions, with listings of Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach, Duke It Out in DC, and Duke: Nuclear Winter, and a "should hit steam this month". They're using the name Megaton Edition at SXSW.

EDIT3: The Duke3D database entry has now listed package details and the full achievement list. Shadow Warrior is still sadly not updated but still listed as a possible bundle. Devolver has posted on twitter that D3D will release "probably Wednesday" (March 20). Also confirmed co-op/MP WILL be coming, but not in initial release but as free patches.

EDIT4: When MP releases, confirmed to be native, not requiring tunneling with things like Hamachi. Thank all that's good in gaming for this.

FINAL EDIT: Shadow Warrior information is not to be found. Inquires have been met with total silence. But read below.

RELEASE EDIT: DUKE NUKEM 3D IS NOW LIVE ON STEAM!

A recap of features:
Includes Atomic Edition, Duke it out in DC, Nuclear Winter and Duke Caribbean campaigns!
OpenGL port - no dosbox required, native support in most windows/mac environments!
Steamworks API integration - Achievements already in, array hooks listed for possible leaderboards!
Multiplayer to be added in future (free) patches, with specific mention that it's being worked NOT to require outside tools like Hamachi!
COME GET SOME!

I still have the original CD of D3D floating around somewhere, i think. Would be great to own it on Steam

I wonder if the steam version comes with Build and the documentation for it. It'd be nice to see a steam workshop for it.. wishful thinking I know :)

Wasn't it CroTeam that created and developed Serious Sam?
OnTopic: D3D would be a nice touch, that's for sure, but I highly doubt that kids nowadays are going anywhere near it.

Yes, CroTeam did, then fell apart and over a few reformations are now effectively DD.

Wait I'm confused. Croteam is still croteam. It's Gathering of Developers (GoD) who reformed into DD.

Some of their recent tweets:

3hrs ago: Going to have Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition at the SXSW booth as well. Main game + three expansions + OpenGL sexy + Steam. Good times.

3hrs ago: The expansions included are Duke Caribbean: Life's a Beach, Duke It Out in DC, and Duke: Nuclear Winter. Should hit Steam this month!

3hrs ago: The gents at @GeneralArcade are doing the port to Steam and have a slew of old-school fans testing it right now.

Nifty. I have both on disc, but if they are updated for Windows environments, I might be interested.

Shadow Warrior is an awesome game, used to play it a lot. I own it on CD already, so not sure if there is a point to getting it for steam.

Not the Steam version, though. It's an OpenGL port. No dosbox required, steamworks API integration, and more.

Ah, I see. It includes the classic version in addition to the OpenGL version. Even better, if you ask me.

Technically, Duke Nukem (Duke Nukum) is the original. Duke 3D is the 3rd in the series.

I missed this thread until today but saw the steam 10% off "launch" sale..
My mouse went straight to the buy button and the massive 300mb Duke collection was on my hard disk before I could say "hail to the King baby .."
Sure the Duke collection cost more than I paid for the Duke Nukem Forever but it is worth it .. unlike Forever ...

I wonder if it can make it to No 1 in the steam sales charts :D
