The duke is coming, May 3rd

[Subotan]

I'm going to be criticised for this, but I'll say it anyway:

I have a horrible feeling Duke Nukem:Forever is going to be a disappointment. Hyped up for so long, I think it's going to inevitably disappoint a bit, but the game could very well feel and play very dated that a game that didn't have such a popular franchise attached to it wouldn't get away with. I don't want it to do that, and I hope it won't, but I think it's a big possibility.

Duke Nukem Forever? Wasn't that one announced almost a decade ago?

Better be damn good, 12 years of waiting.

The ONLY reason I'm interested in this is that Gearbox are the ones releasing it. They did such a good job with Borderlands that I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, even with a game as troubled as DNF.

Borderlines is great fun, just wish there was more enemy variety

Took me 20 minutes but i beat the demo on the hardest difficulty. All I can say is, I don't think i can wait 11 more days...
Its kind of interesting how they do life. You have ego, and more you get hit the lower your ego gets. I can't tell for sure, but it looked as though the more I killed the higher my Ego got. Devastator feels just like it did in D3d same with the shrink ray. Even though i only had it for a couple of seconds I loved using my chain-gun cannon

Spoiler Alert, click show to read: 

Took a few screen shots too. As in 18 of them. Here are my favorites.
First shot of the duke once you can control him


These guys come up with some great strategies.


Duke vision, cause night vision was so last week.


If this guy wanted to live he wouldn't be standing on the tracks.

The game was scrapped half finished and started again at least 3 times over the decade.

I read an article about it in PC Gamer a few months back. Updated with recollections to Duke Nukem 3D. New story however. 'Time to kick *** and chew bubblegum!'

[Husar]

I watched the trailer and wasn't impressed. At all.

[rajpoot]

This game has had a tough development cycle and it's an achievement in itself that it is being released at all.
Also I think that people will have to approach the game in a correct manner. This might turn out to be more like a Serious Sam type of shooter. And I don't think the fans will mind.
Hell, Duke Nukem is to FPS what Clint Eastwood is to Westerns......who watches a Clint Eastwood movie and says that the acting was bad?

Ya. Will be ok, 7,5 material. It can't afford to not to be a mindless shooter, how can you expand on that. Serious Sam did something new with massive levels and hundreds of enemies. What's going to set the Duke apart

You predicted it. Eurogamer gave it 3/10. IGN was also less than complementary.

[rajpoot]

Critics might pan the game but I'm sure fans will still love it.

I'll be getting it just because hearing the Duke's one liners again will be like going back in time.

That it would be this bad comes as a surprise though, I don't know what's more baffling, that it is a technologal mess, or that it's simply uninspired. No new enemies, no new guns wtque. The 'I hate Valve puzzles' part is simply emberassing, especially since the same joke was in the now mostly forgotten 'Sin' over a decade ago 'Don't play withe Valves'. Sin was a good game at the time though

Yay! I was right!...Oh, wait, I just made myself feel bad.
