    I will not believe this game is actually coming out until it's sitting in my 360.

    Probably Unreal Engine 3, I've also heard it's possibly a very modified Unreal Engine 2.

    In paragraph 4, "weapons" is mispelled. 
     
    Beyond that, I'm surprised that it's playable. I wonder how much of the end game will remain in 3D Realms original vision.

    I cant't believe they're actually releasing it. But there's no way it'll live up to the expectations.

    I get what you mean, but I would think that the expectations are pretty low considering how long it has been and how much of a joke it has become.

    I'll probably buy this purely for the novelty of it, but I'm surprised how DUKE the game looks. Feels like a piece of history. I gladly welcome more ridiculous shooters and deficiencies in bubblegum.

    I bet it will be a competent shooter, but not much more. Duke is all hype anyway. It was cool in 1996, but in 2011...I don't think so. Although some would say that babes and badassness doesn't go out of style. I'll stick to my 21st century franchises though.

    Great, they're finally making a modern game in a franchise of mediocre shooters whose selling points were toilet humor and mysogeny.   This garbage is part of the reason the gaming industry still gets no respect.

    Why should there be a big expectation. I mean people can´t really believe that it will have 500 hours play time. 
     
    I think it will be awesome just blowing aliens into particles.

    @GagnarTheUnruly: u must be thinking of another game because all the Duke Nukem games have sold well, why do u think it became such a hit franchise? o i know... ur probably a kid who has never played a Duke nukem game in ur whole life and know nothing about it, or a second posibility could be that your too young to understand the ADULT and MATURE humor the game has to offer

    @AngelicRampage: 
     
    That's the first time I've ever heard Duke Nukem be described as adult and mature.   I was in high school when Duke Nukem 3D came out.  I played it at my friends house and I know what it's about and who it appeals to.  At the time it felt edgy enough to justify its vulgarity, but it was still a crappy game and the 'thrill' of shooting pig-cops and rescuing pixelated strippers wore pretty thin pretty fast.  Now I'm older and more mature and I really can't stand the franchise, let alone understand why there's sill a lot of fanboyism for the IP among people who probably should've moved on a long time ago.  I think the games media needs to look past thier nostalgia and call a spade a spade.

    If they can just focus on big explosions and solid action, I'm all for it. I don't think innovation is anyone's motivation to play a Duke Nukem game. Yay!

    If Duke Nukem 3D was a tribute to the 80th action star... now is the perfect time to release the sequel. Movies like The expendables and Predators has proven that we who grew up in the 80ths have cash to spend and a void to fill.

    I can see this game being a throw back to older shooters, like The Expendables was a throw back to 80's actions flicks.

    Except that Duke Nukem Forever (and, as seen, NARC) exactly is the kind of game that people think will make them mature.  Nukem rides on appealing to 13-year-olds who wish they were mature, like the 14-year-olds, who wish they were like 15-year-olds,  who wish they were like the 16-year-olds, trying to be so focused on "adult" instead of "good".  Then, by the time psychological adulthood is finally reached, you don't care so much about looking "adult" anymore.  You don't need to prove it through sex and violence....you simply are, and that frees you to enjoy whatever you'd like, no matter what created-by-children social stigmas are attached.

    I'm guessing fertility rates will jump 3,500% when this game ships.  Prepare yourselves, men, because once your woman gets a whiff of the Duke being balls deep in your console, there's no turning back.

    Everything I hear this game is older than Google, it blows my mind. At least Gearbox puts out games. They have released 17 games in one form or another since this game started development.
