New Duke Nukem Game Revealed

[Lord Beautiful]

I like Duke Nukem (the character), but unless they make a game about him that is so fantastic that it changes the gaming community's perception of shooters, let the franchise die already.

Duke Begins...A reboot?

 

[The Infamous Scamola]

Unless you're a time traveler from the mid-nineties, nobody gives a crap about Duke Nukem anymore.

Seriously, THIS.

Good God, am I sick and tired of hearing about all things Duke Nukem. Nobody cares that a new Duke Nukem game MIGHT come out, and even IF it does, it most likely won't be as good as Halo 3, or Mass Effect, or any other 360 classic I can think of.

The only thing we can do now is ignore the hell out of the Duke Nukem franchise and hope it withers and dies.

Seriously, NOTHING can live up to 10+ years of hype, and by the time this comes out (if it ever does), it'll be so goddam dissapointing, nobody will play it.
Unless it somehow manages to be the videogame form of the second coming.

So my childhood nightmares of the pig cops are going to be reborn?

And just like that, I'm not alone. I'm glad I wasn't the only one, those things scared me half to death as a bambino.

And although I don't really know if I care any more, it's just as good that game isn't being made any more, there was far too much stigma surrounding it.

 

[mikecoulter]

Oh dear. Why even bother now?

Who the hell is even stupid enough to back another one of these games?

 

[XJ-0461]

I don't know what the fuck is happening with Duke anymore.

 

[Get Jiggy]

Clearly god does not want this game to be made, if you struggle to make a game for 12 years then fail, its definately a sign.

How good WERE the original games?I'm not well-versed in gaming lore, but isn't this anticipation a bit too much?The protagonist seems like a bit of an arsehole to me.

[HentMas]

is it just me or does anyone else feels that IF this game came out, it would be the end of all times???

...

...

perhaps it WILL come out like a month before the end of all times haha

i loved DN3d

 

[Zersy]

Let's hope the development of this game will take at most 5 years.

Or that when yahtzee reviews we will all luagh so hard that we shit duke nukem quotes

 

[barryween]

They're making a PSP and DS Duke, so another one sounds cool. unless if DNB is about a Duke that is going through puberty so insults Pigs with cheesy one liners and harasses strippers with sexist remarks because that would be l- OH WAIT! That sounds like normal Duke. Weird. Maybe he is STILL going through puberty even in his 20's and 30's?

The only one I ever played was the third person one, although I have a disc for Duke Nukem 3D, I might try that out. But the one I have played is really good (and funny)

 

[GrinningManiac]

Am I the only person who doesn't know who Duke Nukem is? Sucks to be a youngin.

I really have no clue, other than what I've scavanged from the ruins of flamewars across the internet.

I do hope, however, that Yhatzee's mock review eventually becomes Prophetic of this game

 

[Alias_Raz0r]

Anyone else find it funny that DNF can stand for "Duke Nuken Forever" or "Did Not Finish?

 

[RanD00M]

I call 20 years on this one, TWENTY. And yes, I'm still hoping one day I'll get to play a next-gen Duke game with piggies, boobies, and more boobies.

I second that emotion.

 

[Kyp]

Seriously, let's all be honest here, aside from nostalgic feelings of "oh, haha, this is the first time I saw virtual boobs" in what world was Duke Nukem really all that good of a game?

Now, Half Life, there's a good FPS from the past.
