Funny thing was that the PSP version was rated Mature and the DS was only rated Teen. The huge difference between the Nintendo DS and the Playstation Portable, being two complete different machines can be seen in the two screenshots below which I took out of a promotional video released by Apogee in March 2009 made specially for the Game Developer’s Conference the promotional video was cut in two pieces and showed screenshots of both systems. The Critical Mass chapter would have 9 areas to complete, divided into 27 missions and the player was promised 15 different types of weapons, multiple and secret ways to achieve in-game points and on top of that both platforms would have cinematic rendered cut-scenes between levels. The game would have on both platforms a multi-mode where players could easily switch between third person, first person, isometric and side scrolling views including some extra options as a sniper mode, a jetpack mode and different boss battle modes. The trilogy would consist of three separate games with Critical Mass being the first its original release date set in the fall of 2009 and would be followed by the other chapters Duke Nukem: Chain Reaction and Duke Nukem: Proving Grounds.īesides the storyline the games on DS and PSP would however be completely different from each other the Nintendo DS version would be more of a side scroller while the Playstation Portable would be more of a third / first person shooter. After being rebranded to 3D Realms this would also be the revival of the Apogee brand in game development and publishing. Rumours on the game started early as the beginning of 2008 and were later in July of that year confirmed when Apogee Software announced a completely new Duke Nukem adventure: a Trilogy which would be developed for both systems in cooperation with publisher Deep Silver and which would be developed by Frontline Studios. The game was originally intended to also come out as a Playstation Portable game but was later cancelled for unknown reasons.
I'm just happy I get to share it finally.Duke Nukem: Critical Mass is a run & gun shooter game, released on the Nintendo DS platform in 2011 by Apogee Software.
But I worked very hard on it and it represents some of my best playing and mixing work to date. This was originally a commission for a replacement title theme for Voidpoint's EDuke32 combined Android port of Duke Nukem 3D, Duke Nukem 64, and Duke Nukem: Total Meltdown which was unfortunately cancelled. Since the bonus screen theme was also featured (it replaced the DN2 theme from the original recording) I added that as a loopable track for use with EDuke32 as well. It's a much more polished rendition and also comes with a loopable version with metadata loop tags for EDuke32 if you want to use it in-game. This is a complete rerecording of the old Dwelling of Duels remix track I entered for Free Month Dec 2007, which I also shared on the old 3DR boards at the time.
