Duke Nukem Forever

Oh. My. God. It's happening, for real. Announced at PAX (2K's "big" announcement, an understatement if you ask me) today.

Interesting facts about the game and hilarious pre-order pictures: http://duke.a-13.net/

So, anyone planning on getting this? Worries me that Gearbox is doing this, I don't know if they can pull off a game worthy of the DK title. If it plays like BIA or Borderlands, it might as well have never been made. Might be good, will probably suck, but Duke Nukem 3D is finally getting old after a decade+.

I can't freaking wait.

According to many sources at 3DR, the game was something like 80% complete. Gearbox took up the game at the end of 2009 and has since been completing it and is now just polishing. Mostly it's what 3DR and George B's team did, so I've got confidence that it will at least have that classic Duke "feel" down pat.

Yea, I just read that part.

Hopefully they won't go the Doom 3 route with this. If you stick to the classic formula with updated graphics, people will love it. Especially me.

wow it only took them 12 years.

Anyway, I really enjoyed Duke Nukem 3D so i'm looking forward to seeing how this turns out.


100th post took me long enough.

Dig out your pre-order receipts everyone.

Dig out your pre-order receipts everyone.

And watch the sales representative laugh at you when you take it to the store.

They can show me movies and spit out dates until the cows come home... Until I finally see it on shelves, I'm not holding my breath.

Did You Bet It All On Duke?

[Red Baron]

Even if I don't have a system that can run it, I'll want to grab it someday just to say that I have Duke Nukem Forever.

(But also I want to play it.)

Jingle cats rule!

Too bad the CD is so darn expensive.

I hope Duke Nukem Forever turns out great, because it it sucks, it will be a sore disapointment...probably of epic proportions.

Here's hoping it's good!

I spy arena boss footage.

I'd cry tears of joy if this game is nothing more than a remake of 3D.

First "Chinese Democracy", now this.

I never thought it would be possible.

Let me get this straight... You're worried that the guys who made the Brothers in Arms games, Half-Life Blue Shift, and Borderlands (which I enjoyed, anyways) might screw up a game that's been in development for twelve years, scrapped and started over twice, and had been officially canceled pending litigation?

I usually take a wait and see approach with any upcoming game, but lets be real here. Duke Nukem 3D was fine in it's day, but things are pretty different now. Even if the game itself isn't mediocre or worse, it can't possibly live up to anyone's expectations. It's a joke. A cautionary tale.

The game has a button for beer. Press the button and Duke drinks a beer. GOTY
