Duke Nukem Forever
Gearbox
Release Date: TBA 2011

Well friends, you don't have to worry about Hell being too hot anymore, because it just froze over. The studio that made Borderlands grabbed the Duke Nukem project away from the incompetent company who took 12 years to try to make a 1-2 year game, 3D Realms. Now my true question is, can you truly bring a "90's" iconic gaming star into the new generation? I was impressed on how well Borderlands was made, so I am kind of having hopes for this title.

But if they are going to pull it off, they are going to have to take what was great about the character and bring him into the new generation while at the same time giving what people in the 90's loved about him. People are impressed by the demos at PAX, so I will look forward to kicking ass and chewing bubble gum.

EDIT:

Also here is someone's experience with the game, and it seems positive from what I read.

Eh...

The most important news is that a new Oddworld has been announced.

Death to sequels. If Duke Nukem Forever should teach the games industry anything, it's that franchises have at least as many downsides as upsides. Would Final Fantasy games be any worse for not having the thoroughly irrelevant "Final Fantasy" label attached to otherwise unconnected games?

Don't be a party pooper. For the length of time it took to get this game into proper production, I could care less if it is good or bad, just release the damn thing already.

If it doesn't live up to Yahtzee's hype, it won't be worth the wait.

Also, you do see the custom title underneath my avatar, right?

If I remember correctly, Yahtzee said it was amazing, wiggling your ears is true innovation.

I really want to give this a shot since I can't play Duke Nukem 3D anymore. Or any DOS game for that.

I don't understand how anyone could be excited for this, I mean it's literally another FPS clone. Cover system (at least that's what I heard), regenerating health, aim assist, aim down sights with left trigger, etc., etc. This game better offer at least some of the core concept of the other Duke games, cause if it's point A to point B linearity it should fall flat on its face.

I don't expect this to be a masterpiece in any way, shape, or form, but a game that has been in development for 12 years, I need to at least rent it. And then I will say how generic it is.

Because PA has a comic for everything:

I must be the only one who doesn't like PA.

Anyway, Kay you are probably right. The only reason I like DN is just because of his attitude.

[Velhart]

Duke Nukem is all about the character and nothing else really.
