I was hoping people would hate this trailer as much as me I realy can't see the point in this game, it looks like the worst stereotype of gamers all rolled into 1 game and can only be redeemed if it was meant to be a joke, but i guess thats not going to happen with a trailer like this.

Can people please stop claiming that this game was 15 years in development? It wasn't. It was in development for a while, abandoned, and then a new company grabbed the name and restarted essentially from scratch and its been a few years in development.

Woulda been better if they used 'Grabbag'. Still, EPIC.
You get a new version of Grabbag in the First Access Club. It's so damn good. And you're right, it would have vastly improved this trailer. In the sense that it would vastly improve ANY trailer.
I know, I'm in the F.A.C. got Balls of Steel pre-order and could not be more PUMPED for the demo tomorrow! :D

Looks pretty good. Nice change of pace from what's currently happening in the FPS scene.

Yeesh.

I still can't decide if this game is stupidly funny or just plain stupid.

Yeah, sure, that's what they're going for. But is deliberately making something utterly juvenile really a step up from being incapable of making it anything but juvenile?
Um, yes. Yes it is a step up. They could easily have taken out pretty much everything that makes the game vulgar and still called it a Duke Nukem game just by virtue of the main character... but then no one would be interested in it. We didn't wait around for over a decade for some neutered-down samey FPS game.

Certainly that doesn't mean you HAVE to like it. Heaven forbid people have different opinions and the game appeals to some but not to others. That said though, make sure you aren't just hating it for the sake of looking better than the people who like it. To paraphrase a recurring theme from the Scott Pilgrim comics (that didn't make it into the movie), it doesn't make you better than them, it just makes you a prick.

Like the game or hate it. Just make sure it's for the game's own merits that you take either side.

Completely wrong, actually. The game was in a constant state of development, even right up to 3DR's layoffs. Even then, 8 of the 3DR guys formed Triptych Games, and still worked on the game out of their homes. Gearbox then took Triptych under its wing as an in-house studio. The game that we see now is a completed and polished version of the build that we saw in those leaked videos back in May 2009.

Sitting at a cool 2000 euro in debt, I will still find a way to get this game.
I've been sick for going on a month now, lots of doctor bills, spent over a grand in a day and I'm showing no signs of getting better, all around probably should see a specialist (even more money)...I too will find a way to get this game...even if it KILLS ME!

Aslong as I kick some ass and chew some bubblegum before I die....

Curse the fates for making me a year too young to buy this game yet (not that that stopped me from getting MW2 when I was 3 years too young, but this is the sort of game I really wouldn't feel comfortable playing in the same house as my parents.)

But when I'm at uni, item number 1 for my itinerary will be THIS!

Really? Wow, that's embarrassing. For them, I mean. For me, also, but more for them.
Of course, I still stand by the idea that the game has probably gotten a huge percentage of its development done in the most recent year or so and that marketing is playing up the "15 years" to make it sound like the result of epic development efforts.

I see your rainbows and raise you DOUBLE rainbows. All the way across the sky.

Sadly, this joke was predictable.

Sadly I can't think of a awesome retort.... so I'll just post a funny animated gif instead.

I just want to throw this out there. The demo is available for pre-orders and people who bought Borderlands on Steam (no, not even the game of the year edition, just Borderlands). The game is complete ass to anyone who played the original. The humour doesn't shine through, it's basically a Halo/COD clone with someone spouting one-liners. The two weapon, regenerating health, Borderlands vehicle knock-off approach doesn't come close to the feeling of Duke 3D. The character grahpics are on par with 2003, with Borderlands scenery. From what I've seen and played, it's crap. The moment that killed it was after I was sprinting uphill, panting and wheezing like a cancer patient, then I shot a pigcop and Duke spouted off a one liner. He can't even run up a small hill now, but he still insults his enemies?
