Yes I'll buy it. But as has been said above...I'll believe it's coming out when I see it on the shelves.
At this point I would be VEEEEERY surprised if I actually got the game.
For some reason I just have huge "mediocre game" warning lights flashing on the "poor university student" highway.
Edit: Reasoning for the mediocre game warning lights. Simply put, shooters have evolved a ton since duke nukem, and the series is no longer relevant. Doom and duke nukem belong to an age of games that are perfectly mindless, there is literally no point to them other than "here are some dudes, shoot them". While that is plenty fun, it's fleeting, forgettable, and becomes old quickly.
I would bet a significant amount of cash that a year after duke nukem is released, nobody will be online, and everybody will have forgotten about it other than a few hardcore fans.
Meanwhile modern shooters like team fortress, counterstrike and battlefield will continue to pull in tens of thousands of users a day, and more "arty" single player shooters like half life and bioshock will still be on every bodies favorite games list, to be regularly replayed.
Simply put, the only thing remarkable about duke nukem will be it's incredible development time and it's total lack of all the improvements that modern shooters have created.

Of course. He has balls of steel.
I still remember the scene with lunar boss, a newspaper and happy whistling.

Hot damn, it's split pretty much down the middle.
And no, I'm not gonna buy it. Gonna get scolded for saying it, but from what I've seen it looks reeeeally generic and we all know there ain't gonna be much to the story.
But, maybe if it gets reeeealllly good reviews, then I might pick it up.

Only if I hear it's good, and then I'd probably only rent it. If it was amazing when I rented it then I'd buy it. Anything less I don't give a fudge and would never play it again.
What no maybe? Nothing is set in stone and it completely depends on how it does or if i have money at the time.
