Duke Nukem Forever at PAX - Release Date: 2011

Well, it appears to be legit this time. What do you all think about this? Appears we may actually see this game released.

Update - now confirmed, release date 2011 - Hail to the King Baby!

If it eventually is released, and if it's true that Gearbox is the developer, it may actually be awesome. I've enjoyed everything Gearbox has worked on before.

Heh, a lot longer than that my friend. Duke Nukem Forever was first announced 13 years ago, April 1997. I remember talking excitedly with my friends about this new sequel back then. We had some crazy fun LAN parties back in the Duke Nukem 3D days. Cant wait for it. Hail to the King! :D

If this game will get a 8 or 9, meaning if its above average, it will outsell Halo.

Mark my words, haters and fanboys, mark my words. This game will be a phenomenon.

They better have a collectors edition or something!

collectors edition's of duke games are often referred to as atomic editions

Does anyone truly care? There is absolutely no way the game will live up to the insane expectations, and probably won't even live up to the standards set by modern shooters.

Well considering the fact that there are at least 2-3 threads about this on about 20 major gaming sites(checked myself, and yes, i'm high)... yeah, they care.

Like i said, it will outsell Halo, baby.

And yes, i love you to.

Even cooler!! I'll get it for PC and 360, just cause it's Duke8)

I care. Nuff said. Sorry phoenix but your argument is done. jedikevin2

Amen!

The president of GearBox is acting like a hyped 12 year old, and there are literally thousands of people lined up there! Oh my f'ing God.

This game will be a phenomenon.

I just want to see that trailer already. The beginning of it sounded epic!

Man i haven't ben so hyped up in my entire life, i'm telling you, this game will obliterate every FPS on the market on the fact that the name alone is incredibly well known.

This thread needs more Duke Nukem Theme.

Don't forget...

My favorite one too. All hail Megadeth too!!

I really hope that they keep the same sort of theme for the music of the game.

Previous Duke nukem games had awesome music, Especially Duke Nukem Zero Hour, and Duke Nukem 64.

Those games were so fun, I would definitely get Duke Nukem Forever if it has the same style of music like the games before, as long as it doesn't suck.

Maybe not a game I get at launch, maybe once it gets down to like 20-30 dollars on amazon or something.

the megadeth version was ok, but there have been better versions of the song imo.

We need to see/hear more awesome metal/rock music that Duke Nukem showed us back in the day, with this new Duke Nukem.

Ahem.... Scuse me whilst i CHANGE MY FREAKING PANTS!!!lucfonzy

If there's an Atomic Edition (Collector's Edition), I'm buying it in a goddamn heartbeat.

I'm right there with ya! Hopefully they make it extra special for PC gamers!!

That gets a 9 out of 10 on most gaming sites and becomes game of the year.

Yep, i agree with you. :P

The footage we saw was anything but run of the mill. It's a worthy follow-up to Duke 3D. How many modern games feature that level of interactivity and variety?

And it has that specific Duke Nukem humor too!

Storytelling... sheesh. All I want is a great adventure like in the old days. I've had enough games trying to be movies and books this generation. From Duke I only expect to save our women and the world from aliens and pig-cops.

Exactly. It'll probably be a run of the mill shooter with lousy storytelling. Times moved on. biggest_loser

What?

Storytelling in a Duke Nukem game?

That is a joke, right?

So, haters said this game will "suck" and and no one cares. Well, i'm here to disagree because:

1. IGN disagrees.

2. Gearbox and 2k games disagrees.

3. The entire gaming community with the exception of a few old turds disagrees. (just google DNF at this moment, that'll prove my point, alsolink 1link 2 link 3 )

Nope, sorry haters, it seems everyone cares. And until you actually post some valid facts that "no one cares" i'll keep copy-pasting this post until you grow tired of the same 'ol BS you keep saying about beeing "outdated" wen in fact you:

1. Didn't play the game.

2.Obviously didn't check out the FULL PAX live stream.

3. Have no idea of its features, or its gameplay in general.

4. Refuse to aknowledge the fact that FUN is subjective, and no one gives a f-k. Because IF the game will be fun, it will be played. Proof of that is that old games from the 90's are still being played despite so many cutting age new games.

:P

Hey look! They ruined the series by making the new game generic and brown!

I sure didn't expect that!

This is not duke. This is an autistic child of MW2 and Borderlands.

Thank you, consoles.

Surely that's because half of the demo was set in a desert?

Also, Borderlands is colourful.

Surely that's because it's a generic console FPS.

Regeneration (and don't tell me about that EGO crap. It's the same thng). No health bar, the screen just turns red when you get hurt. Modern-style sprint. Gamepad controls. YOU CANT CARRY MORE THAN TWO WEAPONS HURRR.

It's everything bad that happened to the FPS genre.

wow the prophecy we've been hearing about for the last 8 years might be true :D

Just wait, 2011 comes around and it will somehow get delayed...AGAIN!
