Duke Nukem Forever Coming in May

[Fursnake]

I seriously want to see some in game cracks from Duke relating to how long he has been gone or something...

I think this says it all:

Please contribute to the actual thread next time, please. Thanks![/footnote]

Not to mention not everyone patrols the forums for news they trust the writers of the Escapist will get out rather promptly with all the pertinent details.
Anyways, here's to the Duke and every current FPS gaming trend he is about to throw into the throne of porcelain.

This is gonna be fun.

It's not possible for me to imagine how a special edition would look like. After all these years it had to include working rebuilds of the alien weapons and... well... Real aliens jumping you when you open the box.

 

[Jonluw]

Yeah, I'm going to go on and assume that this game will be pretty crappy. Mediocre at best. You know, that kind of mediocre where it isn't so bad that it's funny; just bad.

 

[vehystrix]

I'm wondering what platform I should pre-order it for, console or pc...

 

[Lordmarkus]

Half Life: Episode 3 will be the new DNF.

Ep3 shall be worth the weight.

Cookie for referance.

Am I on to something?

OT: Played Duke Nulem 3D for the first time back in 2008. Never lost faith once, day 1 for sure.

 

[Kasper Gundersen]

YES! I was not wrong in buying Borderlands game of the year edition!

 

[No_Remainders]

I can't believe this is coming out on my birthday. I find it kind of ironic that this games was announced just 3 years after I was born and here it is now coming out on my birthday.

I'll probably play it eventually, but I'm in no rush.

You seem to subscribe to an almost "Alanis Morrisette"-esque idea of what irony is.

I'm afraid that's not ironic.

OT: I'm probably gonna get it about a month and a half after it comes out.

It's twenty freaking eleven. No one ever said nineteen hundred and ninety seven. The whole year 2000 thing, this sub-conscious psychological obsession with the millennium- it was 11 years ago. It's over now.

Who are we going to lob cheap and easy vaporware jokes at now that Duke Nukem Forever is an actual, real thing?

Half life 2 Episode 3.

Moar like Episode Sucks AMIRITE?!!?!

 

[PleasantAsAHeadcrab]

Bloody Hell!
If they delay it again, they can have a conversation my butterfly knife.

 

[Easton Dark]

Bubblegum beware.

 

[Teaguy]

Duke Nukem Forever? More like Duke Nukem Neve-
Wait, that's old.
Here's the new one: More like Duke Nukem Oh Look It's Coming Out And It's Just A Generic Brown N Bloom FPS, Whoop Te Doo, Good Job Wasting 12 Years Of Development For Nothing.

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.

 

[timeadept]

I never played Duke Nukem and normally i wouldn't be interested. i mean i've heard good things about old games and ended up getting them and liking them before, but Duke Nukem doesn't sound like my type of game. Except now this thing has reached a level where it's almost LEGENDARY. I'm definitely going to have to look into this game when it finally comes out.

 

[HellspawnCandy]

Wow, that actually looked incredibly fun. Maybe Yahtzee just predicted the future and wasn't joking.

SING FOR THE KING

A demo is on the way, first for members of the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition [http://www.dukenukemforever.com/access/]) and then to everyone else.

Someone needs to explain to me why I shouldn't go on a rampage over people who got Borderlands on release not getting in on that... doesn't seem fair.

If you got it on Steam, then you did. Console players can suck it, otherwise.

O.T. You get to punch a Battlelord in the jewels. That's all I need to want this game.
