Duke Nukem Forever: Most Epic Game Ever or just a long wait for a crappy game?

July 1st of 1991, Duke Nukem or Duke Nukum is released. A typic game for pc with a great story and a character that now in 2010 would be famous all over the world. Duke Nukum was a basic sidescroller that consisted in finding doors to pass the levels. The story was basedin the normal Hero Vs. Villian situation. Although old and basic I still play it very much because i haven't even finished it.Anyway, Duke Nukem 2 was released in December 3rd of 1993 for pc and despite it's good new things in weapon upgrades those where few compared to the bad new things in everything else. The objective, story and gameplay where very similar: Duke was fighting aliens after being kidnapped, to complete e level you had to reach the exit and it was a sidescroller which was almost everything back in 1993 so that doesn't count. This game had the annoying characteristic of Duke not being able to jump which made the game way longer.

January 20 of 1996, Duke Nukem 3D is out and for me it's the best Duke Nukem game ever. The 3D expierence made Duke even way better than it was before. But, you know every ying brings its yang and Duke 3D was not safe of this saying. Even with 3D graphics the story was repetitive and very knownand if you were killed you hadto start the level all over if you dind't save the game. Duke fighting the aliens again and making me start all over? I expected something new, but back then it didn't matter it was Duke Nukem the hero with the balls of steel.

Then a lot of Duke games for both Nintendo 64 and PS were released: Land Of The Babes, Duke 64, Zero Hour and Time to Kill. Despite Duke Nukem 3D sucess I was starting to think Duke was getting annoying and repetitive. LotB, Zero Hour and TimeTo Kill had the new feature of Duke in a 3rd person prospective rather than 1st person as in 3D.

Then the final drop came: Duke Nukem Manhattan Project. I hated that game so much. Duke got to the point of being repetitive to death. Duke against mad scientist and monsters. Come on 3D realms you can do better. But then an announcment caught everybody's eye: Duke Nukem Forever.

With a delay of 15 years they say this will be the best Duke Nukem game ever, but first they have to get over the legal problems of course. Anyway someone said: "This game will come in God's second visit to earth". But as i watched the gameplay I tought maybe this could be just another Duke game with the same old story about aliens and the same gameplay about shooting things and Duke saying random stuff. And so I think, is Duke Nukem Forever gonna be the best game ever or just a crappy game we waited for 15 long years? What do you think?

it got canceled so i doubt it will ever see the light of day

I dont' think so go read it at wikipedia (:

I loved duke 3d back in the day. But I dont think duke forever will ever come out and if it did there is no possible way it would live up to 15 year delayAutoPilotOn

It's actually coming out or thats what i expect because 3d realms said it will go out when it ready. And because of that i expect a great game (:

isephi

LOL why right there?

I believe it's pretty much canceled, though that doesn't mean there can't be another Duke game.paradigm68

Actually it's not canceled just delayed because of the many console changes first it was going to be for xbox and ps2 but then xbox 360 and ps3 came so they had to do a new one and now kinect and ps move are on the way so i expect more delays

Duke Nukem Forever will never happen. But other Duke Nukem games can come.

Duke Nukem Forever was cancelled, we will probably still see another Duke Nukem game sometime in the future but it wont be Forever it will be something else

[QUOTE="ThatOneP0ster"] Wow kid stop embarrassing yourself over stuff you don't know. There isn't a Wikipedia team that work for the website that check facts, that's the whole point of wikas is that random people add/correct things. That article just isn't very up to date. ThatOneP0ster

YOU MADE AFIGHTOUTOF A DUKE GAME WOW YOUSUCK

wow this kid is in denial

I just wanted to post this...

Best thing is that was 4 years ago.

If Duke Nukem Forever is ever released They should release it on a Playstation 1 CD-Rom (3Disc set) or actually release it on a N64 cartridge. Since Duke Nukem Forever was supposed to be "coming soon" when those systems were in production. As well as PC-CD Rom windows 95 edition. Guns N Roses took forever to release "Chinese Democracy" Back in 1994. A new Guns N' Rose Album was coming! Then in 2008 G'N'R finally released "Chinese Democracy" and the Album ended up sucking massively. So if Duke Nukem Forever is ever released The game will suck.

I dont think its cancelled...

It will come but i think it would be fail to the newest games :(

Whether Duke Nukem Forever comes out or not, it will never live up to its hype. Elian2530

Looks better than I would have expected but it still doesn't look amazing yet. Still looks like a fun game though and I will be keeping an eye on it.

Gameplay

This game is on Duke Nukem Forever in name, it can in no way be what the game was originally slated to be. It not only changed developers, but it started back in 97, back when the standard at the time was GoldenEye, Doom, Perfect Dark things like that. The FPS scene has changed so much since then, that the complete design had to be thrown out constantly over the last 13 years. I mean it has level designed after Halo, this game is a shell of what it was suppose to be. Not to say it wont be a good game, but it wont be the game they promised back then, its a decade too late for that. Sepewrath

Agreed

In my opinion, FPS became stale with the exception of those who tries something new with the genre. (i.e Borderlands) The game might be good but it won't be anything we didn't seen already, it would've been a decade ago but now, it will take more than Duke's fancy quotes to make the game memorable.

P.S. I heard the game uses auto life regen, bad start if you ask me...

It might be pretty good, I'll keep an eye on it - I've liked what Gearbox has done in the past. Other than being a Duke Nukem game it'll probably be just a standard on the rails fps with a campaign and competitive multiplayer. Gearbox track with shooters and the humor they put in to Borderlands probably made them a good choice for 2k to finish this game. It'll make them money if it's good because of the famous IP, i hope they do something to differeniate it from other shooters though.

If it ever does come out I'll give my ratings as a brand news series considering most people that would buy it are barely old enough to remember it's roots. Yes that's a slam to the amount of development time this game has gone through. Second thought I'll go with another crappy game, because I just couldn't see myself saying... "oh wow, this game is awesome" and then having to wait another 15 years for the next in the series.

i hate that i have to eat my words on page one, but so glad its coming

Wow at this thread.:P

I like Chinese Democracy, lol. On topic, yeah, games that take forever to make aren't necessarily going to be great, just look at Too Human...

tl;dr your post. honestly its not worth spending five minutes on a freaking Duke Nukem history lecture. But anyway, Duke Nukem is epic because its crappy, and because of the astonishingly bad one-liners.

duke nukem is a classic franchise that deserves a new look and feel. I trust gearbox they made borderlands i believe and I love that game.

the game looks dated but i really want it to be at least fun

I think it will be like the Chinese Democracy, It will be eventually released however due to the mass exception of this game being the second coming of God the game will greatly disapoint many and Duke Nukem will then be turned into a yearly released game till the evental slow death to a beloved game character.
