Because the hard part of making something that looks like ‘01’s Duke Nukem nowadays is making something that doesn’t accidentally look much better than ‘01’s Duke Nukem, many doubted the legitimacy of the game, but people who’ve actually worked on it have already stated that it is the real thing.
The leaker showed gameplay that takes place in a strip club that has caught fire (or maybe that’s how all strip clubs are all the time in the hell world that Duke inhabits) and it might not look impressive by today’s standards – or by the standards of its time, really, but Duke doesn’t harm anyone other than cops and doesn’t “accidentally” let out any racial slur, so this is actually progressive where it counts the most.
