Was having a look for a release date for this and stumbled upon something interesting. Apparently Gearbox aren't just finishing Duke Nukem Forever, they've actually purchased the Duke Nukem IP and are now the sole owners of the franchise! Can only mean good things for the game really, and hopefully further Duke games in the future.

 

Game is out sometime next year btw.

Latest Electronic Gaming Monthly (Feb 2011) is out, and Randy Pitchford had this to say:

 

"The game is absolutely coming in 2011 and in late January or early February we're going to be peeling back the next layer of the game, so to speak. And that will make a lot more things clear not just about the game itself, but about its launch."

 

Get ready! :grin:

Man oh man I'm glad they chose Gearbox to release this shit. They knew exactly what they needed to do as far as press and hype was concerned. Even if the game is awful it'll still live on in infamy.

 

Hail to the King indeed!

Ok, it seems all these years of development did not go to waste after all...despite what the game will be like, at least they managed to produce a trailer that was pretty darn amusing :D

I probably won't buy this on day one. But it'll be interesting seeing what people have to say about it on release. I think possibly the space for this game has been taken up by Bulletstorm which I know I'm super excited about.

Agreed. Very much a shooter in the mould of....well, Duke Nukem 3D, I suppose. It all looks quite funny and well produced but the shooter has come on leaps and bounds in the last few years that I'm not very excited by that idea much at all.

I'm conflicted - I am massively in favour of taking the FPS genre back to a modernised world of massive guns and even more massive aliens, but I don't think this will be the game to do that. I'd like to be proven wrong though.

Doesn't part of you want to return to the ways of old?

Hahaha.

 

It's funny, really. That image is hard to argue with but if you take Halo for an example, the nuts and bolts gunplay is so, so much better than the likes of Doom that linear levels don't matter- what matters is the freedom and experimentation available in each individual firefight.

 

DNF seems, from the trailer, to be all about massive badshits being taken down with lots and lots of bullets. Probably fun (hallo, Serious Sam) but not exactly cutting edge.

Isn't Gearboxs' job to simply finish a game which was started 12 years ago? Surely if it was modernised it would defeat the object and be a completely different game than was intended. Personally i'm not expecting anything groundbraking just a fun romp.
