Gearbox Owns the Duke

[Miumaru]

Id prefer id owned Duke Nukem. I know them better, and DOOM and Duke Nukem are blood reletives. Plus well...look at Rage. Imagine THAT behind a Nukem game?

 

[RatRace123]

Gearbox owns John Wayne?

Well I hope DNF turns out OK, given the development time, I have no idea what to expect.

[HEADING=1]THE DUKE LIVES![/HEADING]

Wow, I'd never thought I'd see the day. It's a Dukevolution!

Haha I know aye. It's going to be so epic. =D

 

[ethaninja]

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

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.

So where the hell is Blood 3? If Monolith is going to keep on with this FEAR and Condemned crap, maybe Gearbox should buy the rights to Blood.

"Salvage enough interest in the game".

From what I understand, almost everyone on the internet will buy this game.

I'd say that a long wait, cancelling it and then returning with a different developer "salvages enough interest in the game".

I doubt many will buy this game, unless alot of reviews say its awesome beyond HL2, or some such. Which is doubtful, as it strongly seems to be a brown generic FPS.

I will be getting the game.

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.

It would have felt better with Epic games manning the wheel of such an testosteron packed franschise but I guess Gearbox will do too.

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?

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.

 

[poiuppx]

Woot! More Duke for the future!

 

[r_Chance]

Well H3ll... one of those moments that let you know that nothing is impossible and the universe does have a sense of humor. A twisted, devious sense of humor. I'm buying this one, just because. Wonder if this will get a one liner in Serious Sam 3? Speaking of which, time to fire up Serious Sam The Second Encounter HD.

 

[HuntrRose]

I trust Gearbox with this.

Is it just me, or does this look a bit like the shorter brother from Supernatural? not sam, the other one...dean?

Hmm... you might be right. there is something familiar there...

 

[crazypsyko666]

I think Gearbox just ruined my mistrustful childhood.

Am I really preparing for Duke Nukem to be released again? Is this actually happening?

 

[MR.Spartacus]

Nothing much of interest...except...

They own rights to SHADOW WARRIOR! HELL YEAH! My bro and me loved that game even moreso than the Duke. "You no mess with Lo Wang!!"

Yeah I mean what other game can boast having "Dirty Old Man/Psychotic Ninja" for a protagonist. Actually I just preferred SW's weapon set. In what other game is it possible to kill the last boss with nothing but the first/melee weapon without cheating. I may just rent it. Or more depends on what I see of it. I might buy it if it has good split screen. I'm thinking at least four players, an option for something kind of like what perfect dark had.
