Sure, but I'm worried that this is going to try to do the whole "I'm a mature game now" and still look juvenile. Juvenile games are good only if they don't make pretensions of being mature.HG131 said:
Gearbox-Made Duke Nukem Forever Confirmed at PAX
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
Well they've had "screenshots" in the past, so I would rather have a live demo to gander at.VanityGirl said:
I can see this going two ways.
Gearbox releases in 2011 like they hope, and it goes down as a massive disappointment and we all try to forget about it. And not many will blame Gearbox because they could only really play with the hand they were dealt.
Or
Gearbox studios will burn to the ground, along with any trace of the Duke. And hopefully we can put this horse down for good.
I dont see as it possibly making expectations at this point, but thats not to say i don't want to see Gear try.
As I said a few hours ago in the other thread on The Escapist. I don't really see why people would be excited about the game, most of the press coverage it has had has been about how it was never going to come out. That doesn't mean it will be even half decent and it means that Gearbox won't be working on a new Borderlands game because they are tied up making this dinosaur. Alert Jeff Goldblum, he'll be needed to theorise why anyone still cares.
All I am hoping for is that those who kept the reservation ticket for this game will be granted with a free copy (or at least with some discount).
I am not a Duke Nukem fan, but I am suddenly looking forward to this game. Let's here hope it will happen *fingers crossed*

Aww... I was planing on making a fan-made version of the game myself. Then GEAR MOTHERFUCKING BOX came and made the game themselves. I guess you snooze you lose.
aw, i have been using "when duke-nukem forever comes out" instead of "when pigs fly"
Great, now i have to give someone 500$

I especially like how this happened right after ZP's Duke Nukem Forever video was picked as the Viewer's Choice.
Of course, I expect Yahtzee to firmly hold to his assertion that he and every other game reviewer on Earth are going to "saw [this game's] bollocks off" if it isn't fucking amazing.

It doesn't matter how the game will turn out. It doesn't matter if it will be good or bad game. What is important is that Duke Nukem Forever has became, i dread the word, sort of meme, a running gag over the course of those 13 years. It's a symbol of all games that never got actually released and by now probably some way to measure infinity in terms of deadlines.Outlaw Torn said:
IT's not a game you buy to play it, god forbid, it will probably be terrible. It's a game you buy to have, never unfoil, just so you can say you have DNF in your collection. It became a classic long before it got released mostly because of the fact it hasn't been released yet.
I'm guessing it will end up being a hit simply because even if its crap, people will buy it just to see what all the delay was for.VanityGirl said:
Call me a cynic, or a skeptic, but I will believe all of this when I see the box in a store.
we have been waiting for DNF for over a decade.

HELL HAS FROZEN OVER, PIGS ARE FLYING, GABE NEWELL IS A SIZE 2, EVERY OUT OF THE FUCKING UNIVERSE BEFORE IT IMPLODES!
In all seriousness though, it doesn't really matter if the game is amazing or not, it's going to sell an absolutely ridiculous amount if copies simply because of the fame (infamy) it's gained because of it's long development cycle. As MW2 proved, controversy and "bad press" is still press, and often works in a game's favour.

Anyone else hear that? I think it's the sound of hell freezing over.
But really, after watching gameplay videos from PAX, this could possibly be decent. As long as they keep the classic humor and style and don't make it too generic, I'd be interested. I still love the old games.
