Duke Nukem Forever this year?

[Negative Sun]

Clicky

 

After years of silence and speculation we've had more concrete signs of an imminent existence in the last few months than the last few years...Here's hoping it's coming this year cause to say this sequel is overdue is probably the understatement of the decade

[DeadYorick]

I doubt that they would release it this year. I wouldn't get your hopes up since they first announced Forever like 8 years ago. So when it gets released it better be one of the best games of all time or they will single handedly doom the franchise. Anyway I would hope for early next year at the earliest since they already did something like this a few times already.

 

Plus Duke Nukem already lost like 75 percent of its fanbase due to Forever's release date. So they are going to have to do some really good marketing if they want to sell out.

Yeah, I don't know about that. It could come out any time from now to 2225.

 

I'll wait for a 100% official announcement, but I suppose the teaser trailer is a good sign that things are progressing well...unless they decided to scrap the game because it's not "next-gen" enough or some other excuse. Didn't they use a similar excuse in the past?

They did release screenshots back in like 2002 of the models. But then they got rid of them claiming they were going to overhaul the entire thing.

 

But the screenshots they released now are actually really good. The models have superb detail (Especially the Duke model).

[Totenkopf]

Well, as long as it's released before I cash out........I'm game. Always liked the Duke character. 2 dimensional, yet too funny.

[Ctrl Alt Del]

I saw the teaser some time ago... But they haven't released anything new in a while, so I'm a bit unsure.

 

If the "production time=Quality" equation is true, DN:F is going to be the greatest game ev@r.

[Rabish Bini]

I cannot wait for one of my fav games to finally get a sequal. DN3D ROCKED!!

[Pho3nix]

Naah. I'm not holding my breath.

[TheProphet]

Well, there have been numerous rumors before this video that they were going to finish sometime in the "near future". I really do hope it comes out this year. They have promised us this an eon ago and all of us Duke fans really have been tested in the area of patience. I wont be holding my breath either, but still, there is that shred of hope that is left in my heart.

[Serpentine Cougar]

Meh, I never got into Duke Nukem. I don't see what's so cool about him; he looks kinda dorky to me....

[JoeDoe 2.0]

^ Duke Nukem is like a father figure to me

 

I doubt that it will come out this year, but if it does then I'll surely get it

[Q]

I'll believe it when I see it.

[JediAthos]

I thought this worth necroing this thread. For all you Duke fans there is some minor but significant news on this front. Game Informer reports that the lawsuits between Take-Two Interactive and 3D Realms regarding Duke Nukem Forever have been settled.

lol. Yeah, okay. /sarcasm

[Ztalker]

lol. Yeah, okay. /sarcasm

 

Wasn't the game originally announced for the Amiga? It's a bit late...

 

No, seriously, one of the coolest game character ever....maybe it'll be a great reboot....I fear it won't be though

[Astor]

Assuming it ever reaches a release (which is still incredibly doubtful after over a decade of promises), it'll suck, simply because no game can ever be worth that much of wait.

[Totenkopf]

Well, I've not been obsessively waiting for this, so the 10 year thing isn't a real big deal for me. Long as it's entertaining.....

[Q]

Why can't this damned piece of vaporware just die, already?

[urluckyday]

Let's put it this way. Whoever holds the rights to Duke Nukem has an amazing power among the masses...even though they've been disappointed time and time again.

[JediAthos]

Didn't mean to stir up hate and discontent lol...I just thought it was an interesting piece of information.

[Astor]

According to Take 2 and Gearbox, Duke Nukem Forever will be released next year on PC, PS3 and 360.

I'm not one of those people who has been eagerly awaiting Duke for years, but with Gearbox taking over the project it has the possibility to be a really good game.

Let's hope. I'm not dying for it to come out, but would probably get it if it looks good. Though I'd probably wait till the price came down first. Never was one of those people that had to get something as soon as it came out. Actually, ME2 was probably the first game I ever got so close to its release date.

[Ztalker]

Duke...my childhood hero.

 

One of those games I used to play as a 'little' kid.

Pixelated boobies, brilliant one-liners...if the game doesn't take itself seriously and just goes ahead with the completely over-the-top storyline, it could actually work.

 

"Your ass, your face...what's the difference?"

[Ping]

If it does come out, I'd be willing to get it. I can't believe I played it when I was a toddler....I'd probably keep it away from my kids, if I had any.
