Yes, I want the BFG collection (DOOM 3, DOOM, and DOOM II) on PS Vita and PS4 too

It doesn't sound mundane at all. This is one of the reason why Duke Nukem is so popular. That and all the interactive stuff you could do.

I doubt we'd ever see them, Bethesda hold the rights and haven't really shown interest in Vita Development
On the other hand, Shadow Warrior is a possibility for a Vita Port (1997 version), Devolver have the rights, and did the Classic Redux version recently on Steam
id be down for that, i always try to tweet bethesda about putting Doom on vita, so far crickets...

It feels like a very well rounded package, the leaderboards and speedrun-incentives are neat.
I had some issues with the rewind feature corrupting though, but nothing major. It looks really good on the Vita screen.

Happened to me on Vita, every 15mn precisely. Might be related to the rewind feature recording.

Haven't played Duke since I owned the N64 version.
But damn I have so much stuff to play. Might just wait for a sale.

No PS Plus ?

Nope. And I wouldn't want a game like this that might evoke a ton of nostalgia to be tied to a PS+ sub anyway...

Which Playstation(s) do you own? PS+ alone is so generous can cover an entire Vita library, not to mention all the PS3/PS4 goodies.

I have a PS3 and Vita. Sub just ran out.

Downloading now!
Am I the only one having problems with the aim on the Vita version?
Tried increasing and lowering the sensitivity, but I still feel unconfortable about it.
it doest feel a little bit weird, but then again i turned off auto aim, thinking about turning back on....
I have zero problems playing FPS games using a controller.
The problem with the Duke Megaton edition was that the game is balanced to having super precise mouse aiming controls, and using a controller was far too inaccurate.

Thats not true at all. When Duke 3D came out most people were still using keyboard only to play. The game does not require super precise aiming or even looking up and down.
I haven't played it with a controller yet but it should work just fine.
Duke 3D was, yes. But the Megaton Edition added mouse look, which does require more precise aiming.
I dunno about that. I configured Shadow Warrior (classic, part of the 3D realms super bundle) to play it with the DS4, and that game is arguably even faster paced than Duke Nukem 3D. Took a bit to get used to it, but then it felt fine.
What's your point? If I want to play them on the PS3, I'd play them there. If I want to play them on the Vita, I'd like to play them on the Vita.
I'm confused what you mean, the Megaton Edition is exactly the same as the original duke 3d, the enemy placements etc are the same.

Normally not into FPS games, but I've played this a lot as a kid when it first came out, the memories! I will buy this at some point on nostalgia alone.
First time I tried to launch it didn't work.
Second time it totally launched.
No idea what happened
Gonna tweet them?

Yeah, the aiming feels "off" to me as well--not sure why. I'm hoping at some point it will just click for me. Duke 3D was one of my favorite games back in the late 90s. It would be fun to play through it again.
Also, looks fantastic on Vita screen!

I'm getting this as well. Not game breaking I guess, but disappointing.
Otherwise haing a BLAST with this, as I did with the Doom Classics Collection when I picked that up a while ago. Certainly better visuals/audio.
I get these too - it feels like the game is loading the level in a source engine kinda way

I mean, the PS3 & Vita versions both come as PS+ freebies today. Together. What you're seeing is both downloads put into one purchase (~450 megs for Vita, 750 megs for PS3). Buy one, get both.
There have also been numerous mentions of it being "cross buy."
- Duke Nukem 3D: Megaton Edition Gets a Launch Trailer, Includes Cross-Buy on PS3 & PS Vita
- "Duke Caribbean: LifeÂ’s a Beach, Duke: Nuclear Winter, and Duke It Out in D.C. are all part of the bundle along with the original Duke Nukem 3D, all of which have been updated with online multiplayer, nicer visuals and Trophies. Oh, and it's Cross-Play and Cross-Buy, too." -Kotaku
- The launch trailer literally says "Cross Buy" in it.
It's cross buy.
Yeah, I was wrong lol
Played for a little bit of my little time left, and it's awesome!!! Finally !

Played a bit of the first level of the 'life's a Beach' episode on Vita.
Forgot how confusing 'find the switch/keycard' gameplay can be. Took a bit of time to get used to aiming, but so far it's a fairly solid port, very playable and runs smooth.
Though honestly, if a near 20 year old port didn't run smoothly their would be some major issues going on. Vita is a heck of a lot more powerful then what I played the original on back in the day.
To sony: get your third party relations folks to do more of these classic pc games to Vita ports. We need Quake 1/2, Doom 1/2, ec and so forth. The more the better.

I've noticed that small framedrops occur when you first pick up inventory items (possibly weapons too) and sometimes when entering a new area on a large map. A bit bothersome at first, but I've noticed it less and less as time goes on. I also encountered a bug on the second level where a certain section of level was missing (leaving the black skybox in it's place), and when you walk into it, you get insta-killed as though crushed or dropped from a great height.
The lack of certain settings is bothering me too. Can't play the game classic, no-mouse look style (not that I mind, since I like mouse look). Cant make running a held input rather than a toggle (IE, you can't assign a true "run" button, only an "always run"). Can't use minimal/no HUD. Can't use the useless-but-fun 3rd person camera.
I also feel like it wouldn't have hurt to offer a weapon wheel as an option rather than cycling one by one.
Other than that... DUKE NUKEM 3D!!!
GONNA BEAT IT FOR THE HUNDREDTH TIME!!! And those expansions. Never did beat those.
