ViPeR Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 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.

Ryan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I'd buy it, but not on release or at full price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoolFunkMan Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Says May the 3rd on the email I got about it, but yeah, going to be awesome, love the Duke. May 3rd is the American release date, May 6th is for everywhere else. Not much of a longer wait though, so yay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 After watching the trailer I'm expecting this to suck. Still awesome though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 I think I've watched the trailer about six times now and I've already pre-ordered the game. Sure the gameplay looks mediocre but the 80's Action-Hero feeling when playing as the Duke should make up for it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
... Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hehe, 6th of May is my birthday. Too bad I don't buy games at launch. I can just wait some 4 or 5 months and buy it at a 1/3 of the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mad Monkey Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Hehe, 6th of May is my birthday. Too bad I don't buy games at launch. I can just wait some 4 or 5 months and buy it at a 1/3 of the price. Or wait 2 or 3 weeks and pick it up half price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James McGeachie Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 After watching the trailer I'm expecting this to suck. Still awesome though! Really, to be truly awesome...it needs to kind of suck, in a hilarious way. Like I want some awkward bugs and Duke is all "God damn, 14 years and they still fucked me up".

CoolFunkMan Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 PLEASE NOTE: I'm not sure if this is real or not, but it apparently appeared on the Facebook page of a French video games store (source: http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=182240881813474&set=a.113232138714349.6554.113229745381255)... If that's real, I'm totally buying it!!! Oh, and DNF is going to be appearing on GTTV in 18 hours time, though there's already hands-on impressions round te internet right now.

James McGeachie Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Well the image is rather obviously a blatant mock up from even a moment's glance, kind of overflowing with CG there. Obviously it could potentially be a mock up of something that actually will exist i guess Edited February 12, 2011 by James McGeachie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McPhee Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 If it ain't real I don't see it being far from the truth. I'm sure the DNF release will be milked as much as possible. Personally I ain't buying any more CEs after the Fable 3 debacle. It's a cracking CE, but somehow it goes for less used than the retail edition. I'm bored of the game, but unless I want to take <£10 for the game, playing cards and coin I ain't likely to shift it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James McGeachie Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 Im very stingy and save cash strictly for other things, but I feel a massive desire to pay shitloads of money for this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dazzybee Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 (edited) Am I the only one who thinks this looks mindnumbingly awful? It's like it's made for 11 year olds (no offence which will inevitably be taken) - ripped the pissing gag from Austin Powers which wasn't funny 15 years ago; it all seems so forced, trying so hard to be funny and witty and risque. Looks painful! And his voice is absolutely retarded! Don't they know they that every man voice in games needs to be the guy from Uncharted?!! Except Marios...

CoolFunkMan Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I like the humor, but then I can see your point. I guess if you don't like the style of humor DNF, then you won't like the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shorty Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 It looks okay, but it doesn't look like it will recapture the old DN3D feeling, nor does it look like a game that was 12 (?) years in the making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Konfucius Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I don't care how crappy it is, it's the Duke! As long as it delivers stupid violence and babes everything should be alright. Also it was so long in the making, there's a certain something to owning a game that was a joke for years. I have already pre-ordered the collector's edition.

If you don't instantly see Duke Nukem Forever and think "I want to own this because it's Duke Nukem Forever" then you're probably never going to get why anyone wants it and probably wont ever have a reason to buy it. I expect virtually no hardcore gamer is buying this simply because of the trailers. Just seeing this on my shelf is going to make me feel like im part of some legendary time to be alive.

CoolFunkMan Posted March 10, 2011 Share Posted March 10, 2011 First multiplayer details from OXM: Here are the details! 4 multiplayer modes: Dukematch Team Dukematch Capture the Babe Hail to the King(king of the hill) Different Duke skin: red, blue.... 4 on 4 gameplay Level advancement gained via XP..level cap is 42 Unlock physical customization rewards while leveling up in MP. 10 maps total Old school gameplay. "Highway Noon" torn up Vegas freeway "Casino" two story casino with scattered launchpads) Freezeray, shrinker, steroids, punching, jetpack, holoduke... Mutators: infinite ammo, railguns only, heavy weapons, knuckle sandwich(fists only) and default shotguns. Plant trip mines on players If shrunk during a match, you can still fire your weapons at normal sized player but you only have a 10th of power! Capture the babe: ctf style gameplay....babe will "freak out" sometimes when carrying her.....hit a button to give her a reassuring "slap". "Duke Burger" "magnificant map"....miniatured players running around in normal sized environment...fallen pots and pans, Duke standees and Duke action figures ..some ammo and weapons are placed inside microwaves and garbage disposals. Other players can turn these on to kill you if you go in them. "Morning Wood" Old west locale. crumbling buildings and planks connecting buildings... Bonus objectives: goals like "Super Ninja" (kill a player while using holoduke) and "OMG" (Suicide via pipebomb)....these reward you with extra XP Editors were able to play 3 hours of the game. Came away very impressed with both SP and MP. DNF "feels like a welcome burst of nostalgia-an old school shooter that's pure popcorn entertainment." http://www.duke4.net/news.php?extend.425 Sounds awesome, can't wait!!
