GDC 09: Duke Nukem is back to kick ass on the DS and PSP

Recommended Videos

Hey, remember that really God awful piece of sh*t trailer for the new Duke Nukem game from E3? Well, I finally got to see Duke Nukem: Critical Mass in action on both the PSP and DS last week.

The PSP version of the game is going to play out in 3D like the SOCOM games for the PSP. There will be sections where you’ll be flying around on a jetpack that’s equipped with a machine gun and it was impressive seeing how big of a draw distance the PSP version supported in the jetpack section. Expect plenty of multiplayer versus modes too.

The DS version is a 3D side scroller and the visuals are horrible. 3D games just don’t work on the DS. They’re pushing the DS to the limits with everything they’re putting into the game, but it’s hard to be impressed by that when the game’s visuals hurt your eyes. There will also be a two-player co-op mode for the DS version.

I’d like to end this post by saying that I find it absoultly hilarious that Critical Mass is coming out this Fall, long before Duke Nukem Forever.
