What will Yahtzee do in response to Duke Nukem Forever's Resurrection?

[drewlie]

I agree that he'll probably re-post the video.

 

[drbarno]

it is rather freaky that we voted it his best review then the game gets announced and shown the same week.

It's a sign from above, man.

Nah, I'm convinced Gearbox rigged the poll so our attentions would be on DNF when they annouced it would be released

 

[Oliver Pink]

how could he not talk about this? duke nukem forever is a legend coming true

To be fair, many Starcraft 2 fans would argue that Starcraft 2 was a Huge event - and he couldn't care less.

 

[BrownGaijin]

Will the game be so good that it will make YZ eat his words?

How about these three words: shiruken and lightning.

 

[Dramatic Flare]

More importantly, given Zero Punctuation's massive effect and popularity in gaming circles, what are the chances they might give a nod towards ZP's review of the game?

I just want this to happen.

"We want you to drop the gun and cook for our wedding."
"FUCK YOUR COOKING!"

 

[Kiju]

Review it with a minimal amount of bias and a lot of funny quips meant to jab at both creators and players/fans of the series.

In plain speaking terms: What he always does with a game review.

 

[Shemming]

Duke nukem? you realise this is a disscusion for science fiction writers?

OT- He will be lazy and repost the old reveiw in a few months, and at the end make a remark about not actually playing it. Or use a it for an april fools gag.

 

[Baron von Blitztank]

What will Yahtzee do?
Do what he always does, Take the piss.

 

[Vanguard_Ex]

I will wake up Wednesday, and go to school.

I will come home, and not do my homework.

He will have made a video, made from yellow swatches.

I'd watch, maybe chuckle or smile.

And then I will go read Cracked.

You're not Yahtzee...

[dalek sec]

He'll write an Extra Punctuation about how little he cares.

I'm going with this as well, either this or he just saw's it's bollacks off with a dull bone saw. If he does review though, it could be interesting.

 

[McMarbles]

So unless you live under a rock, you know that Duke Nukem Forever is alive and kicking after more than a decade of "production." Anyway, what do you think Yahtzee will do in response to this reveal (if he does anything at all)? After all, he did do a great DNF Zero Punctuation episode like a year or so ago (which eerily won the viewer's choice award the same week that said game was resurrected) so now I feel like he's going to have to eat his words. What think you, oh fellow people of The Escapist?

Other than a really scathing review when it actually comes out, I don't see what he would do.

 

[kouriichi]

Just watch.
it will end up being a 9 hour long rick roll with the king ((not elvis)) singing the song.

The game, or Yahtzee's review, or both?

Hopefully just the game.

Knowing Yahtzee, the review would 7 minutes of of meatspin and harping on how fat and disgusting the average video gamer is.

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

he is gonna do what he always does, ignore it, or insult it Alot

 

[Funkiest Monkey]

Absolutely Nothing. It is not relevant anymore.

It is, now more than ever.

Always bet on Duke.

 

[Custard_Angel]

If the game comes out, Yahtzee will review it and either declare it shit or not shit. Like... you know... all the games he reviews.

One thing people dont seem to get with his reviews is that he doesn't lie about them. If he doesn't have fun with a game, he says that he didn't have fun. If he actually liked a game, he doesn't pretend it didn't happen (See: Gears of War 2).

Will he bring the whole eternity-long development thing up? Fuck yeah. Will it affect the outcome? Not really.

It just means that if the game sucks he'll call them out on the fact the game took 15 years to suck.

 

[kannibus]

Notice how this came just immediately after the DNF review was crowned king? Makes you think... Whoa, that's pretty crazy.

 

[AMMO Kid]

I HOPE he will make a video. HOPE. hope is something I've learned not to depend on with yahtzee... Hope rhymes with pope///

 

[hermes]

He'll write an Extra Punctuation about how little he cares.

This.
Which will actually prove the opposite.

 

[Thelonesun]

Notice how this came just immediately after the DNF review was crowned king? Makes you think... Whoa, that's pretty crazy.

It's a conspiracy!

 

[joshuaayt]

And then it turned out that the DNF video was just a cover, and Yahtzee himself was making it in his spare time (Explaining the delays, I mean, he's just one guy, guys)
How else can you explain the timing? That's right, you can't.
