Duke Nukem Forever Coming in May

[Elexia]

I am thoroughly amused by the whole 'making a big issue out of the rape' thing. Hey, I'm a female, I've come from abusive relationships and survived. But I freaking love Duke Nukem. Why? Because it isn't real. It's a game. I don't take it seriously nor do I take it personally. I played Duke 3D when I was a kid and loved it.

It's about role-playing, being someone else and in an FPS, it usually means you're a muscle-bound hedonist and that's cool with me. People who take games seriously and bring up issues of female subjectivity should play Trivial Pursuit or something and let me blow up aliens.

Yeah, but you can sort of understand why she was so...I guess "Debative" is the word. Yeah it's not real, but the "Raped 4 super-army" thing is pretty unsettling when you think about it.

Then I go back to making moar gibbs and everything is happy again.

MORE GIBBS MAN!

That link was awesome and could potentially make the entire world a better place.

Hell yes! there's not much else to say but that and hunker down for the inevitable media shit storm

 

[duchaked]

can't wait!
altho I'm not sure I'll really bother to demo it
just would rather wait until release date (I'll probably try to reserve this, Homefront, and Bulletstorm for rentals cuz chances are I'll only be able to buy one of them)

It's almost a little disappointing in some respects. Who are we going to lob cheap and easy vaporware jokes at now that Duke Nukem Forever is an actual, real thing?

HL2 E3?

Half Life 2 Episode 2 came out in 07...huh yeah it HAS been a while hm (Portal 2 is coming out for goodness sake)
lol altho admittedly I still haven't finished all of Half-Life 2 and its two children, but still waiting for Half-Life 2 Episode 3 Forever

Late to the party... but hot damn am I excited for this. Can't wait for May.

 

[baseracer]

I'm saving up for a new gaming PC, so hopefully I'll have enough money to buy one when this comes out in may.

 

[hagar2]

i will laugh so hard if this game gets terrible reviews.

My prediction: this game is either going to be awful and remembered for generations to come as the biggest blunder the industry ever managed to crap out, or its going to be the best game in the last five years and praised for being more than worth the wait.

What are you a horoscope? "It could be one thing, or it could be the exact opposite of that thing I said." Real insightful.
Unwarranted attacks on random people aside.
I can say I'm not excited. Like at all. It won't revolutionize the industry or break trends. I highly doubt it's going to be daring enough to do anything spectacular.

Dude, whats your fucking problem? The point I was trying to make is that anything less than damn near perfecton is not going to suffice a fourteen year dev time, and gamers everywhere are going to write this game off as the industry's biggest joke, more so than it already is. I'd like to think that readers are more intelligent and capable of reading between the lines, not having to spell out every single detail of what you're trying to get across. "He didn't take the time to write a novel of information and I'm an asshole with nothing better to do; time to pick apart his post!" Fuck you.

You've made no counter point.

 

[duchaked]

they should have said "Duke Nukem Forever May be Coming in May" just to screw with us

Speaking of which, check out the updated version of last week's screenshot.

That is simply adorable. But then again, Avatar had been in the works for 15 years, and when it finally came out, I wasn't impressed. Call me a pessimist, but I have a sinking feeling that this will turn out unfortunately bad.

 

[Orcus The Ultimate]

It's about fucking time !

at last the futuristicly FUN action hero comes back !

 

[Triforceformer]

There's a penis joke above here people. I thought you guys jumped all over stuff like this.

O.T. Go to the Gearbox/2K DNF forums and mention the boxart. I dare you.

I love the fact that it took them so long to make this game that they had to keep delaying further still, just so that they could update the graphics engine as time went by.

Flip that around there, buddy. The biggest reason the game was delayed so much was that they kept licencing and modifying so many different engines to keep Duke's graphics on top. Now it's taken a big 180 and now the Duke is settling down in a nice, fairly dated engine. But it has been modified to Hell and back to improve it's rendering, lighting, etc, so it all evens out I guess.

Ok, good to see they've started being realistic and recognise just how fast technology develops
