Indeed. Personally, I'm not fond of Borderlands and the last BIA was very disappointing compared to the others in the series. Plus, it's freaking Duke Nukem Forever. This game is the proverbial black cat of the gaming industry.Originally Posted by G-Boobie
But you're right. It won't meet expectations, especially to the millions (by now) of people who played 3D or one of the other games. But, if it's close, it's better than Duke Nukem Never.
I guess I'm just wary of yet another nostalgia reboot: our generation's memories have been under assault for the better part of a decade now. New He Man, Transformers movies by Michael Bay, G.I. Joe, A-Team... Not to mention all the gaming franchises that have soiled the bed.
We've got plenty of other, modern, playable shooters right now, some of which have moved the medium forward in ways that makes Duke Nukem 3D look terrible in retrospect, even when compared to it'd contemporaries like Doom and Quake. I just don't see where Duke Nukem fits in anymore when we already have stuff like Bioshock, Call of Duty, and for our neo-retro throwback gameplay, Serious Sam.
This is supposed to be the amazing groundbreaking game that's been in development for 13 years? It looks pretty generic. I also can't seem to help but notice how similar it looked to Halo. If I wanted to play Halo, I'd play Halo, not a vaporware game that has been brought back from the dead. Duke Nukem is badass, I'm sure anyone will agree, but I think how ridiculous the wait was for a new Duke Nukem game has killed the majority of the Duke Nukem fanbase and almost everyone really doesn't care about the games release, especially not now when the market is over saturated with fps games.
I'm sure 2k games thinks that Duke Nukem Forever is going to be a multi million seller because of how well it's known so I don't think they want to throw that chance away and I'm sure they'll finish it to be a somewhat playable/decent game. That's what they're betting on, and why not? You should always bet on Duke. They just better hope that the game doesn't bomb instead.

So after 14 years, they're shoveling the game out to shut everyone up. Good or bad, at least people will stop talking about the game.
Breaking Bad 3x02 - Caballo Sin Nombre
Hopefully they'll make a Duke Nukem Fivever
Everyone on this board will be drawing Social Security checks by the time it's completed. :\
I haven't noticed anyone heralding this game as "groundbreaking". Maybe someone else saw that term. I'm just excited to see it's getting made. It'll be a fun play. I'm sure of that at least.
I don't expect DNF to be groundbreaking. I look forward to its release as a break from all these formualic sequels of FPS, who are all trying too hard to be gritty and realistic. I think the timing is perfect for Duke to make a comeback, since the Expendables was a success. Of course DNF isn't going to live up to the hype, but at least it will be a solid entry in the series that will make people remember the golden age of the FPS. Also I hope there's some ridiculous collector's edition lol.
I didn't see anything listed for format. Obviously it's a pc game but during last years legal battle between Take Two and 3D Realms they mentioned a 360 version was suppose to be completed after the pc version. I wonder if thats still planned.
Regardless, no matter what DNF has when(if) it releases, it won't be able to compare to all the Halos, Call of Duties, Fears, Half-Lifes, Farcrys, Crysis and the many other quality modern shooters of this generation. People are only going to appreciate it until they play it for the first time and realize that it took 14 years to make a "supposed" revolutionary shooter that doesn't have any features that outclasses the lastest crop of shooters.

Just reserved the PS3 version. Cannot wait. I'm tired of all these FPS these days trying to pack more and more into the gameplay and everything. I just want to run around and kill things. Hence why Knee-Deep In The Dead is the greatest FPS of all time. Well, a very very close second to Disruptor....
Funny, I'm not a big shooter guy, yet my most wanted games are all shooters. Vanquish, Rage, DNF, and Max Payne 3.
If there's one game that deserves it, it is this one.Also I hope there's some ridiculous collector's edition.

True. Sometimes I enjoy a nice tactical game and I have plenty of choices for that. If I want a more arcade experience, well, I find myself playing Unreal Tournament or Quake III.
Black, which came out several years ago, is one of the newest arcadish FPS titles that I've truly enjoyed. I hope DNF can give me the same kind of experience.
I still don't believe it is coming out. I seriously don't believe it.
I am waiting until it is on shelves to buy it.
Well, like another mentioned, if there is some insane special edition, I would possibly pre-order that, but that is it.
According to most articles I've read, it will release on PC, PS3, and 360, all at the same time.

That is a little surprising seeing as I can play DK on my Game.comAccording to most articles I've read, it will release on PC, PS3, and 360, all at the same time.

After reading a few more articles I noticed that they did indeed list the other platforms, something that the OP's article does not.
It sucks to be a shooter fan on the Wii period, especially if thats your only current gen console.Sucks to be a Duke Nukem fan with a Wii....
