Sigh, based of this article, we here in Australia will get a heavily censored version. So, yeah, who cares if it is released or not.
I just hope Episode 3 doesn't become the next Duke Nukem: Forever.Suskie said:
Also, paraphrasing Yahtzee here: "I just hope that 3d Realms understands that if this game doesn't turn out to be history's greatest contribution to human culture and the cure to at least one type of cancer, then I, and every other game reviewer on Earth are going to saw its bollocks off!"
I can't help but wonder which of Yahtzee's powers of clairvoyance is more frightening:
The fact that he anticipated the release of this long-awaited game,
or the fact that he foresaw that the end result would be an utterly generic shooter peppered with juvenile, misogynistic humor.
But you give the people what they want, I guess. And people want Duke. He's like Master Chief only he has more one-liners and bangs strippers. That makes him a better character, right?

my bro and I were having a discussion about things that would hint about the coming apocalypse, I said the release of "duke nukem forever", the next day, I saw the announcement on kotaku...Its coming.
Erm... this has probably been posted about sixteen times by now... but that bit with the Cycloid. Wasn't that the ending of the third campaign of "Duke Nukem 3D"? Including the eyeball bit?
Wow. It's actually coming out. In other, non-gaming related news, hell has just frozen over, and swine have recently become airborne.
This might sound stupid...
But I, for one, am glad it will only be getting released 14 years after its initial showcase. (First shown in 1997, so it had already been in production for a couple of months, and now it will get a release in 2011 = not 12 years, but at least 14 years.)
Reason? We are being engulfed by 'modern warfare' crap like Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Battlefield on one side and the 'serious sci-fi' puddle with Halo, Crysis and Killzone. Now, I'm not saying they're bad games, not by a long shot. Hell, I even own a couple myself. But I want my TimeSplitters, Duke Nukems and old school Quake/Unreal-like games back!
Will it be worth the wait? Hell no! No game is worth a wait that long, but dammit, I'm gonna get myself a copy nonetheless.
