Duke Nukem Forever Coming in May

[Ghengis John]

So remember: May 3 (or May 6). PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. Duke Nukem Forever. Don't be late!

Clearly now only one thing can happen... May will be delayed somehow.

And just remember gentlemen... ALWAYS bet on Duke.

Seriously, I remember reading GamePro back in the day when I was still in elementary school and being kind of excited for Duke Nukem Forever... and now it's finally coming out when I've long since graduated high school.

I'm not expecting a grand epic of a game, but as long as there's plenty of jokes about the game's development time and that good ol' Duke humor and it's not just another damn FPS, I'll be happy.

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.

The former more than the latter. What would have been a brilliant, innovative, and hilarious game when it was originally scheduled to be released will now (ironically) be seen as just derivative of more recent games that have a misogynistic anti-hero as the protagonist... even though Duke Nukem was in large part the progenitor of those games.

I'll buy it simply because it's fucking Duke. But I'm not expecting it to be any better than the travesty that was vanilla Fallout 3.

Of course the sad thing is, the game probably isn't going to end up being as good as anyone hoped.

I'm just saying.

"Today I am proud, humbled and even astounded to announce that the day is coming at last for all gamers to be a part of video game history..."

Hate to say it Pitchford, but not everyone is as enthusiastic about your pet baby as you are.

Well it IS going to be a pretty big deal. The biggest myth in gaming is about to become reality.

 

[Squilookle]

Hey I won't deny that it'll be a big deal, but to say that ALL gamers will be involved?

Bit of a pipe dream really, isn't it?

Hey, everyone's gonna be alive during May 3rd, aren't they?

the no-longer-ironically-named DNF

Hate to be a dick, but the fact that it was called "Forever" and it didn't come out was the exact opposite of Ironic, the name is now ironic because a game called forever is coming out on a finite date.

Irony is not when something coincides with something well, it's when something gives a REVERSAL OF EXPECTATION. And henceforth Forever not taking forever is the ironic thing, not that it took as long as the name told us.

But yeah, the true irony is how it's days in development are numbered.

maybe this will kill the "gritty realistic shooters" trend? one can only hope

With this and bullet storm coming out, I sorta hope so. I'm just getting sick of serious FPS games. Where are the just plain ridiculous good'ole shooters at.

Well... no, actually. Between now and May 3rd many many many people who are alive today will have died. Besides- merely being alive does not make you part of something.

I hear way too many people complaining that we don't have any games to replace the "DNF will never come out" meme. Last time I checked, we are still waiting for Half-Life 2: Episode 3. We ALREADY have a replacement.

You get the point. Every gamer who's alive on May 3rd and 6th will be part of a historic day, game wise. They will have been alive where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever becomes honest to God reality.

Whatever you say, buddy. Whatever you say.

I hate you for reminding me. I am now sad.

 

[duchaked]

they should've delayed the game until 2012
right after (or heck on why not) a particular date...hahaha just to screw with everyone's minds

 

[macacos2]

It's gonna be a major disappointment


you gonna play it


and remember this post.

 

[kypsilon]

I'll believe it when I see it. And then I'll borrow it from a friend of mine because I don't wanna have to pay for it.

 

[Hexenwolf]

Damn now what will we point out when we need to referance a famous bit of vapourware?

there's still starcraft ghost *sob*

Oh god, don't remind me of that game >.<

 

[JochemDude]

I think I'm going to cry, out off pure happiness. no for seriousness I seen it a few month's back in holland at the first look event. but I think that they should wait longer to bring it out (yes longer damned) I want to still play that game 12 years from now and still enjoy it, develop it, develop it again and again and again till its bloody perfect. I waited 12 years for this I can wait some more.
