Have you ever thought to yourself, “Boy, I wish I could play the third person, Nintendo 64-exclusive Duke Nukem: Zero Hour, but on my PC and in first person”? What’s that? You don’t think anybody has thought that before in the history of humankind? Well, I can assure you that at least four<\/em> people have, namely the team behind Duke Nukem: Zero Hour Overclocked<\/a>, a modpack that does all of the things I just described, and more.<\/p>\n

I’m only being a little facetious. Hyper-specific labours of love are what the PC game modding community is about, and Overclocked is undeniably a cool project. Rather than being a single, unified mod, it’s actually a collection of modules that tweak different parts of the game, designed to “make the game feel like a jank 90s FPS instead of the third person shooter you grew up with.”<\/p>\n

The modules, which can be turned on and off individually, include specific adjustments for graphics cheats, the HUD, progression, sound, and items. The most significant modules, though, are for the controls and the point of view. The controls module reformats the entire scheme to work in classic FPS fashion, replacing the N64’s primordial analogue controls with snappy mouselook and dedicated keybinds. It also reworks Zero Hour’s jumping to feel closer to Duke Nukem 3D, and <\/em>adds several alt-fires to numerous weapons.<\/p>\n
