I was planning another playthrough of Duke Nukem 1 and 2, but I think I’ll just stick to the DOS versions.MS-DOS, Microsoft Windows, Mac OS, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, Sega Saturn, Nintendo 64, PlayStation Vita, PlayStation 4,, PlayStation, Sega Genesis, Xbox Live Arcade, iOS, PlayStation 3, Android, Linux, Xbox 360, Nintendo DS, Nintendo Switchĭuke Nukem 3D: 20th Anniversary World Tourĭuke Nukem is a media franchise named for its main character, Duke Nukem. I’d rather just download a mod for these games that was put together by a fan using their meaty, human hands.ĭuke Nukem might have been the thing that finally got me to add an Evercade to my collection, but just like that, it’s not so certain. If that’s the case, where else do they use it? Was the remaster accomplished with machine generation? If so, I don’t want it. So now, it just looks like they might possibly support the use of AI as a replacement for traditional artists. If they said, “We were had!” that would be one thing, but they probably don’t want to look foolish. Blaze Entertainment doesn’t say that the use of AI in promo material was unintentional.

If there is a silver lining here, it’s that any publicity is good publicity.Īt the same time, this is a bad look. To be fair, the first I heard about Duke Nukem 1+2 Remastered was through all the ridicule for this image erupting through Twitter.
