This must be a dream within a dream. 
The fact that this game is coming out after all this time makes that game the bomb no matter what. It can suck and haul ass, but it is still going to rock!

" @kmdrkul:  The thing is though, is Duke is made through its sense of humor and throwback to the 90s.  If you're looking at this game for new mechanics and a revolutionized genre, you're asking too much of any game.  Even if it's taken a decade to make. "

Duke Nukem Forever will drag Gearbox down into the void as well, I'm calling it.

I still remember playing duke 3d way back when I was too young (10 or 11?) to even understand half the shit that went on in it. Playing through it again (now 18) is a blast on way too many levels. From the sounds of it, its going to be more of what I love with a more modern feel/look. Cannot wait.

Sure it's in production again, but for how long?

The first time I got excited about this game was 12 years ago. And that is not a joke.

Anyone else looking forward to the collectors edition dual layer blu-ray disc "Behind-the-scenes look at the development of Duke Nukem"?

This article is a lie!

Bet on Duke (esp. a Gearbox Duke) to be overwhelmingly "meh" and filled with too much tom-fuckery to be taken seriously.  
Who knows, maybe it'll be just the right amount, but Half-Life Blue Shift still exist in this world, raging its awfulness against all the ground Borderlands regained for Gearbox.  
We shall see about Duke, we shall see.

So... How did it actually play? Was it fun? 
 
I dunno about DNF anymore. For like 10 years, I believed that it would be awesome (yes, I'm an idiot). Then 3D Realms got all dismantled and I figured 'well, that was that. At least it's over.' 
 
And now it's coming out. I'm confused.

Is it true you can only carry 2 guns?

If so, I'm not sure how I feel about that...

Gearbox damn better create something magical...something pure...something GORY! with DNF.

Totally sounds like Duke Nukem to me. I guess that's a good thing.

This sounds like exactly the game that people would want in a modern Duke game.

" @louiedog: I believe it's PC, PlayStation, Saturn, and Game Boy Color. "

I think this game will meet my expectations, being that I have absolutely none.

" Can't wait to play this game, and all the people pissing and moaning about it can go fuck themselves. Every shooter in this day and age is exactly the same as all the other ones, the only difference is what gets wrapped around it, and the Duke-A-Verse is one hell of an interesting one to play in.   The only thing I'm worried about is gearbox's involvement. After them butchering the PC version of Borderlands I have zero faith in them as a company and a development house to create a quality product. I'm hoping that we won't get a repeat with this game, because I love the Duke character and I don't want to see them ruin a game I was looking forward. "

interesting

I fear this will be like the release of Chinese Democracy; so much time has passed by that no one gives a shit anymore

"and he's playing while receiving oral service from two ladies. Classy."
 
hahahaha :D

Balllls of steeeel. I am still very very happy about this.

It's finally time to kick ass and chew bubblegum. We're all full on bubblegum pop. Let's chew this shit up.

You didn't Bet on Duke Jeff. Frankly that's ill-advised.

wow that is crazy that it is coming out, but that is cool the gearbox  guys picked it up and are working on it. Also hopefully when it comes out it, it will not feel like a couple years old.

My mind is blown once again. I can't comprehend this news. 
 
I refuse to believe that this game exists until I see it on the store shelves.

I kinda hope that Gearbox can make something decent out of it. Great record in the past and the humor they had in Borderlands could sort of work for Duke. 
 
Now, the whole oral service part. I'm slightly uncomfortable with it being in the game. Nothing may be shown but it is suggested and even though all the previous games had breasts and strippers, this is weird. Even though the game's character about T&A, I just don't see it necessary.

I guess its one of those games I have to buy, not necicerily to play, just to own.

wait who should i bet on without a doubt even when the odds are ridiculous who should I bet on?

 variety of wepaons

Was it all a dream,   I used to read Word Up magazine,   Salt n pepa and Heavy D up in the limozine.

I don't believe you Jeff...

Shooting pig cops in their pig cop faces. SOLD.
 
 
I secretly hope it never gets released and remains as mythical as any cryptid.

This is just crazy.

Any indication what percentage of the game is new Gearbox stuff and what is old 3D Realm stuff?

I kinda agree. It seems like their doing it to be outrageous and shock people. Duke was dirty but never blatant like that (at leas that's what I remember). "

Duke was rather blatant, maybe not in the first Duke Nukem 3D (and of course, not at all in the first two sidescrolling platformers), but in the expansions and the spin-off titles. That might be explained by that  it was other developers that did them, I'm not sure.

Life's a beach and Manhattan Project were really blatant, to the point that I barely felt like playing them.

I guess my 5 dollar preorder at Eb Games is still good!

Wow, I really had no idea that Duke Nukem was the antithesis of what I want in a video game.

If they release this in a dead spot next year it could do ok.  If they release it up against any real games it will probably get crushed.

Oral service, good times.

Also, Cool.

What I'm most afraid of right now, when we're the closest to actually getting the game than we've ever been before, is that we might just have waited 13 years for another Daikatana.
