Now I know Duke is supposed to be retarded and juvenile but I don't see how this is good for the industry....I'm quite sure this will be on the news as why games are bad for kids and so on.

The demo itself showed practically nothing redeeming. I can draw a penis on a whiteboard, kill a big boss, pee, and so on in a bunch of other games. There's nothing redeeming here to me, wasn't particularly funny anyway.

And Duke's statement at the end about it being twelve years in the making would only be hilarious if that scene took 12 years to make.

Really hope this is good enough to bring these kinds of shooters like Serious Sam and Painkiller back into the fps market that threw realism out the window for some macho men killing macho monsters with macho weapons. Sadly im still skeptical, Duke Nukem came out when i was young enough to not really be into video games so my nostalgia of it is a year or two short of a lot of people. However from the video they showed, it definitly looks awesome, i hope there's finishing moves like that on all the bosses. :)

Not particularly but I'm simply stating that I don't see how after 12 years they did anything absofuckinglutely amazing with this game. Nothing I've seen is remotely innovative beyond the "That's neat" kind of thing which indie games do anyway by birth so yea...don't see all the fuss.
really just showing that you can make a nice juvenile game that doesnt take itself seriously, would be a huge step in a nice direction

He sounded pretty inebriated. Or high. I guess you have to be when pitching a game this insane.

Never really played any of the older Duke games, so I'm not particularly invested in the history of the franchise or whatnot... but that just looked like good, dumb fun. Looking forward to it, to be honest. Curious to see how Gearbox manages to finish the game.

I guess Randy really is a magician, as that's what was necessary to finally bring the game out, apparently. :)

They didn't seem actually ready to give a demo... missed an opportunity here.

Duke Nukem is supposed to be childish and dumb.

Too bad the guy's whiteboard skills didn't measure up.
Uh...did you really wanna see a better drawn penis that bad? C'm on, this is 2010: Porn is two click away--like, literally two clicks away! You don't need Duke Nukem for that.
Lol. No.

But, if they were going to stage it for the cheap ha ha's they could have gotten someone who could draw one fast and recognizable.

The whole thing was pretty poorly implemented. Gearbox usually does PR stuff better than that.

They were using a console controller, what did you expect? If penises are what someone might crave, then a mouse and a PC are the way to go.

In all seriousness, I think all Gearbox is doing is bracing for the eventual delay that will happen, either that or they are looking at a hefty wait between today and the title's eventual release and want to keep pimping the game up to remind people that they're serious and confident about finishing it.

The game seems playable but that doesn't mean everything is near completion. Also, a bit of a controlled, preemptive PR has never hurt a product that merited it. But to me it just looks like everyone is just happy that the game really seems like it's coming out for sure.

I'm pretty sure someone will make a movie out of this whole thing and call it FOREVER. Mark my words.

game looks avg. doesn't look like a "game of the year" stuff. I bet it gets 65-74% ratings when it comes out.

First three words out of the guys' mouth and I knew we were at First Look Amsterdam. Hadn't read the column yet.

Oh my god... The Dutch accents... Save me!

Take your "veins" or tomatoe sauce rubbed on the screen and stuff em.

If they're going for self aware parody, I think it was already made and it was called Eat Lead: The Return of Matt Hazard.

And THAT game had Neil Patric Harris AND you got to shoot the shit out of a emo-git FF7 stype JRPG protagonist.

As has been discussed on Alien Swarm many times, if you give the players a light-pen, they're going to draw boobs and dicks.
the big question is, do they draw dicks because they love them, or because they think its expected of them?
Because it's just something you do. The practice most likely comes from the either the animalistic side of marking territory or from the idea of desecration, but generally if you have a creation tool, the first thing you create...is a tool.

Then boobies.

This trailer actually made me want this game, just for the lulz! I'm serious, if the game has half the humor in the trailer, this will become my favorite shooter.


...wait, how do you get blown by two chicks at once? Does Duke have two dicks, or is there something else about this guy we don't know yet?


Still want AC: Brotherhood, though.
