Coming to you from 1997... Duke Nukem Forever

[X-SOLDIER]

Loved the trailer.

I won't lie. I'm pretty fuckin' excited, but it still feels like a dream that I'll wake up from.

Fingers crossed for May 3rd, 2011 to actually come and not be interrupted by the apocalypse.


(First post updated with the trailer)

As I was saying, you can't even trust vaporwares to not be released those days XD

Man, Duke Nukem Forever has been my vaporwer joke since... well, forever. What's going to take its place now? :/

I'm looking for impressions from gamers first. But I'm kinda sure my boss's gonna buy it anyway lol. This is exactly his kind of games XD

There's still Half Life 3. And Versus.

 

[Eerie]

Wow, I just noticed the way I wrote "vaporware".

And Versus has still years to go before becoming anything like Duke Nukem Forever XD Even HL3 can't hold the cake.

I even heard that Fortress 2 was even going to be released. Pff, you definitely can't trust vaporwares to stay as such nowadays :/

[but yeah, to be on topic, the DNF trailer was kinda epic XD].

 

[Ghost X]

The trailer doesn't really do anything for me. I loved the original game, but I think this one is looking quite average.

 

[Interslicery]

Invaders Must Die was an odd choice for the music. A heavy metal song would have fit better.

 

[Joe]

This game is gonna be like waiting to bang a Milf. Sure you're still gonna do it, but there's a difference between a 40 year-old, and a 52 year-old.

 

[Cthulhu]

Invaders Must Die was an odd choice for the music. A heavy metal song would have fit better.

That, and a shitload of other things. Better voice acting, for example, . In the end, it'll be a rather average game.

Some early images from the press event in Las Vegas, "Duke Nukem's Titty City".
Expect news/reviews on Wednesday and video on Friday.

Link isn't working.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

The goddamn "h" got cut off from the beginning. Sorted & enjoy.

It's not an opinion, it's a fact.

Guys, guys oh shit! DLPB has totally possessed Dacon! Get Father Merrin in here fuckin' stat!


But while we wait for the priest, I loved the hell out of some Duke Nukem back in highschool and am once more cursing my lack of a console game system as we speak. One day, damn it, one day...

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Live updates from the event. They'll be playing the first 6 levels of DNF in their entirety.

2KGames & GearBox Software are updating their Twitters with photos all day (Gearboxes go to the Duke Nukem Facebook, I believe). Press reviews tomorrow, and video on Friday. At the VERY least, these guys know how to throw a fucking awesome party. I'd suggest checking out all the links for the images, because they're just fantastic.

• Kotaku's Brian Crecente's review is up, and I really enjoyed it.
• The Escapist has a LOT of information about the game development process, and information from Randy Pitchford.
• G4 goes into some decent detail, and has an AWESOME bit about a hint given when the game started.
• Worthplaying has one of my favorite reviews so far, in appreciating the focus where the game variety succeeds.
• 1up probably has the most objective preview of those I've read, and is very much worth a look.
• Joystiq has the most complete version of Randy Pitchford's quotes from the event.
• Gallery link of the new images.


Overall, it sounds like it's going to be almost exactly what I'd expected. Especially in the latest parts, and getting to hear what Randy Pitchford's been doing with the game, I'll gladly be getting a copy.

[Tetsujin]

That's...quite the special edition. O.o

 

[Interslicery]

I like the special editions that actually have useful/cool stuff in it. Like the poker chips and cards. Most of the time they have crap like you get an art book, and a special in-game skin! woo!

Tho alot of the stuff in there is lame. Certificate of Authenticity? yeah, cause uh, there's alot of special edition duke nukem ripoffs goin around huh?

I was also pretty glad to see that it had stuff, side from just the normal CE-stuff that'll sit around on a shelf.

Almost any figure that's part of a limited edition run comes with them, I've got quite a few of those little cards sitting around my house from other CE models and such. It helps if someone wants to sell them on eBay later, but like you said, I can't see Duke ripoff busts being a super hot item.

Some New Footage from Gametrailers TV

• Interview with Randy Pitchford
• Side bit with Micho Kaku & Red Faction
• Doug Huggem Sketch
• New DNF Footage (NSFW)
• Something else (wasn't paying attention)
• A little bit more footage.


The other news is that the singleplayer is apparently averaging around 14 hours of playtime.

(Just thinking about this now, it'll probably have the longest ending credits of any game ever made).


And completely unrelated, just for fun, & not at all new:
Jon St. John outtakes from DN:3D, & reading Text Edit menu trees.


Update: 6 PM MST & Gamestop is (apparently) already sold out of the Balls of Steel edition.*
Update 2: (2/14) Turns out it was an issue with their system provisioning. They're still available.

[Gym Leader Devil]

After waiting as long as they have, the fans deserve a badass special edition. Truth.

 

[Hisako]

Most of the time they have crap like you get an art book, and a special in-game skin! woo!

I mean yeah this CE looks fantastic compared to other ones but what's wrong with art books >:

 

[Interslicery]

Nothing really wrong with them but I dont give a shit about them.

 

[X-SOLDIER]

Gamestop's taking pre-orders still. Their system apparently wasn't updated when I went in on Friday, so they were showing no more available copies, even though the product was in their system. That's all sorted, so if anyone (aside from me) wanted to pick it up from there, and was initially discouraged, it's back & functional now.
