After all of these years, I finally realize that Duke Nuken Forever is abbreviated as DNF, which also means Did Not Finish. How did that take me this long?
I am genuinely interested. Gearbox made Opposing Force, a truly worthy addition to the Half Life franchise (Which is saying something), Brothers in Arms, one of the rare Wartime shooters that manage to evoke a feeling besides adrenaline addiction or deep strategic planning, and Borderlands, a top notch coop game on a very short list of most addicting games ive played. And since they own the franchise now, I see no reason to assume that the projects dubious past will have any effect on the game that will come out. I'm optimistic.

I can't help but think the 4th DLC will at least mention this somehow. Like there'll be some special place to buy guns, and it has Duke's face on it. Some sort of dialogue... Brick proclaims Duke as his undying hero. Something along those lines.The Paradigm said:
Im gonna buy it, hell I'd midnight launch it.
All I need to do is look at Halo Reach and COD Black ops for all the inspiration I need to buy DNF. Duke is just a fun character, its like the latest Rambo movie, if just fun. Tonnes of mindless violence, stupidly oversized weapons and sexist commentary for one of my favourite voice actors ever.
It probably wont be groundbreaking or seriously polished. But I bet its fun and thats all I care about. This DX3 and Fallout NV are my hope for the shooter genre.

This all reminds me of the time Serenity got made for the Firefly fans. It was like a wish coming true after starring up at a starry night.
I am going to go with "no". As you had to be at least 16 to get into play the game at PAX and there was a reason for that trust me. (At least two reasons)Thedutchjelle said:Let's hope they dont tone down the setting of Duke Nukem for a lower rating - aside from that, hurray for Duke NukemI loved the hell out of Duke Nukem 3D, even though i was like 10 years below the minimum age to play the game >_>
smart move......even if this game is shit sales will go through the roof
I personaly cant wait for the next generic, boring first person sci fi shooter from gear box
....you know i hope for the sake of the FPS genre they at least try somthing new with it

Gearbox owns John Wayne?
Well I hope DNF turns out OK, given the development time, I have no idea what to expect.

Yeah aye. Hopefully they will have some pretty awesome material. Or at least make it as close to Duke3D as much as possible. Because even though it was a run an gun ego shooter (what game isn't these days), it's still more fun then the shit being pumped out throught the producers automaking machines.MattRooney06 said:
I will be getting the game.Doug said:
Unlike most here (I suspect), I played and loved most iterations of the franchise. I don't expect anything groundbreaking, but considering the history of the game, I expect a return to a game with no pretensions towards realism, a game with an emphasis on spectacle rather than hard-bitten reality. Considering the shooters I've seen in the last half decade, such a game would at least be notable for being different in that regard.
Besides, Gearbox has a history of making solid games.
Gearbox has a shared history with 3d Realms. Besides that, Epic has a history of making games most notable for the technology running it rather than the game itself. People don't remember Epic for Unreal so much as they do for the Unreal engine. Some variation of said engine has been at the heart of countless games to date. Sure, they also make games to go with the technology, but who here is actually excited about the prospect of yet another Unreal Tournament?Lordmarkus said:
I can gaurentee you now that if it comes out on a console I happen to own, I will buy it. No questions asked. I never played a Duke Nukem game but the internet has convinced me that this game will never happen/work. I feel a need to disprove the internet.
