"Duke Done Quicker" speedruns - Duke Nukem 3D Episode 4 "The Birth".

IMPORTANT: Please don't compare these runs with XBOX ones. Mine are single segmented, while XBOX version allows the use of savestates. Besides, I start every level from scratch.

These are the fastest set of speedruns on the net for Duke Nukem 3D. I have seen that some people have uploaded these videos before and didn't credit me, so now I decided to do it myself.

These speedruns took two years of cooperative work between me, Fernito, and Joe Lennox. I ran the speedruns, and JLennox and I planned the routes. These runs were recorded with the built-in recording feature of the original Duke Nukem 3D DOS version 1.5. Difficulty levels used in the demos were those which allowed us to get the fastest time.

These runs are unported (original game was used, not ports), and no cheats were used, thing which was verified by SpeedDemosArchive. More info here: http://speeddemosarchive.com/DukeNukem3D.html

Any comments and questions are welcome :) Thanks for watching.

TIMES:

E4L1 - It's impossible! 0:20
E4L2 - Duke-burger: 0:19
E4L3 - Shop-n-bag: 0:41
E4L4 - Babe land: 0:57
E4L5 - Pigsty: 0:31
E4L6 - Going postal: 0:51
E4L7 - XXX-Stacy: 0:19
E4L8 - Critical mass: 1:23
E4L9 - Derelict: 0:33
E4L10 - The Queen: 1:44
E4L11 - Area 51: 0:48

PS: Note that the times listed here are bigger than the times listed on SDA. That's because I used "Duke3D" time, while SDA guys used "real-world" time, and the game clock runs faster than "real-world" clock.

EDIT (06/21/2009): in this site you can find how to perform all the glitches used in the videos.

hey fernito, on xbox the queen has been completed in 51.88 seconds!

[Fernito69]

@lethalispro But remember that I start every level from scratch, while Xboxers start with stuff (weapons, jetpack, steroids, so on). And the most important thing is that my runs are single segmented. Remember that XBOX version allows savestates, so technically XBOX runs are 'tool assisted runs', not "proper" speedruns :)

[lethalispro]

@Fernito69 i know mate, i am trying to do it myself but it is very hard. do you know if there is a portable medkit on the queen before you get to her? because without it the run is impossible. also i wasn't trying to say the run is better than yours or the player is more skillful.. i was just letting you know what time the level can be done maxed out :)

[Fernito69]

@lethalispro No problem man, sorry if I sounded rude, I didn't mean to :) As for the medkit, to be honest, I haven't played Duke in ages, so I don't recall if there's a portable medkit previous to the Queen in that level. Sorry :(

I've done "the queen" level in 2:10 on my xbox 360, is that good enough?

[Fernito69]

@Bulbasaurdude Of course, that's a very good time! The Queen is a very difficult level because it's very long, because there are some obstacles that require precise timing, like the underwater gears and crushers, and of course because there's a badass boss at the end.

LMAO 3:04 - 3:06 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH *flop*

[lethalispro]

@Fernito69 no mate, you didn't sound rude at all. and don't worry about that mate, if you can't help then it's no problem :)

[Fernito69]

Thanks man! And I'm glad the door push worked. It'd be very cool to watch your runs, I hope you can get them recorded some day :)

[lethalispro]

you're welcome! i am glad i could help. as for your help on derelict i got that door push and did my run! so also thank you for that! if i ever come across any other ways of completing a certain level faster i'll let you know.
