There is something just kinda "fuck yeah" about Duke Nukem Forever finally being released. It doesn't matter if it's mediocre, out-dated and juvenile; the fact that the people involved, including the chaps over at Gearbox, refused to let it die is just such a testament to their love for Duke and those early days of FPSes. Back when they were still called "Doom clones."  Hail to the King.
Quite. No matter the quality of this game, it's still one helluva story in gaming lore.

Terrible trailer, all due to the fact that it lacks the Duke Nukem theme song.

There's a lotta jank in that trailer.  This game probably isn't gonna be good, and that's to be expected with all it's been through.  But I've faith in Gearbox to make the next one great!

YES. I need more silly fun in video games. Fucking Crysis 2, Modern Warfare x, or pretty much any FPS coming out in the past years. This is FUN.
I might actually enjoy this. Call me immature. Go on.

 I admit it, I laughed. That said, I'll wait until this hits $20.

I kinda wish they would have gone with music from the year 1997as background music, just to add to the void of time. "Dirt" would have served nicely here-

And to think, if DNF came out any earlier, we wouldn't have been able to have that song in the trailer.

Won't be playing it but I hope it sells a million copies and ends up being an A+ rated game.

Not interested myself, but I'm glad some developers are still wiling to make games like this. Enough Modern Warfares, Battlefields, Crysis..es; there's something to be said for mindless, over-the-top insanity.

people can justify it by saying it's meant to be excessive or however else they want, but this still is a game designed by men that continue to view women as sexual objects and aren't afraid to show everyone in the most blatant way possible. i'm sure there's supposed to be some irony there, but it's overshadowed by ill feeling i get inside knowing that gearbox's design team made a conscious decision to take one insignificant aspect of duke nukem 3d and expand it into this gigantic sexist thread running through the entire game. because it obviously adds so much to the game. congratulations to them for shrinking the consumer base and completely losing my and other's respect, purely out of stupidity.

God, that trailer had seriously awful pacing. Strange considering that the last one kicked ass. Good song though.

So when do you guy's think we are gonna see the next Duke Nukem game? Randy Pitchford said they bought the license to develope it further, not just to release this one game. Maybe after Borderlands 2?

@stonepawfox  I understand and sympathize with your reaction to that, but lets put credit where credit is due: Gearbox essentially finished the game with the refuse that was left over from the last desperate attempt to finish this game, so I think the fine gentlemen at 3D Realms can be blamed for any and all misogynist garbage that might be found therein.  
 
Now when Duke Nukem 5 comes out in three years and is filled with the same crap, we start pointing fingers at one Randall Pitchford.

Just caught this on tv. I virtually never see tv spots for games, so to catch one for a game we never thought would see the light of day is pretty mind-blowing.

@HubrisRanger: do you think babe slapping mode was a 3d realms venture? I mean in any case, I imagine they overhauled the shit out of this game considering how many more resources gearbox had than the rapidly decaying 3d realms staff. gearbox didn't need to go with it. it doesn't affect the gameplay. surely they could have removed the majority of it without a huge time commitment or effect on the overall product.
 
Fourth grammar related edit: not letting 3d realms off the hook here, just saying. they aren't releasing this game, gearbox is.

@stonepawfox  
In regards to adding the butt-slapping mode, I'd suspect that if it wasn't already in the pseudo-functioning version that Gearbox inherited, it was at least somewhere in the design document. This is partially because the idea of adding something at the 11th hour to Duke Nukem Forever sounds like fucking insanity to me, and partially because Pitchford and others have shown a real reverence and respectful for the ELEVEN YEARS OF WORK that those guys did.  
 
So yeah, entirely possible that was added by them, and stuff like holding a press event inside a strip club doesn't let them off the hook, but ultimately this game is a weird love letter to George Broussard's weird love letter to dumb 80s action films of the late 80s. My general rule of thumb would be if its dumb, juvenile and almost deliberately un-PC, that it was at least talked about at 3D Realms. Exhibit B: The dudes made that Lo Wang game.

Hopefully. they will be seriously leaning on the humor and a descent shooter.  Leaving all sense and realism behind.

@HubrisRanger: then perhaps i should dedicate my criticisms to the males of the gaming industry at large, and I will admit that duke nukem forever is little more than one particular example in a world of horribly sexist games, but that doesn't really make it any better. also i didn't hear of that strip club bit, god what a sleazy group of people. i mean when you make being ignorant and offensive part of your marketing campaign it kind of goes above and beyond any duty they had to be faithful to 3d realms' "vision". ah well. i still see duke nukem primarily as a game where you shoot police officer pigs and quip one liners instead of "that game with guns but also naked women" but maybe there really is a quantifiable market for stupid bullshit like that.
