It looks like he watched an atom bomb get tested and then went to the bathroom, looked in the mirror, and said "Fuck it, good enough."

When the Duke Nukem Reloaded team are not working on the game, they're all going out for appletinis.

I really don't get the point of rebooting Duke Nukem. Usually the reason to reboot is to rid yourself of the constraints of canon etc, but the Duke Nukem series has practically no canon to begin with, of all the Duke games only four are part of the "main" canon. and even they don't really line up. It's a series you could do pretty much anything with story- or gameplaywise and get away with so why reboot? You could still cal the next game "Duke Nukem" without rebooting.

The best you can hope for is if Gearbox pulls a Fallout 3. And it was a miracle that game came out as good as it did. Personally, I stuck with the first two games. The new one is far too simplified and constrained for my taste, but I can see why so many love it (I still haven't tried New Vegas, despite it having many of the original developers from Fallout 1+2). Everybody thought that franchise was dead after the atrocious Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel game for Xbox/PS2. Even Fallout Tactics was pretty bad. Interplay had immediately announced a sequel based on record preorder numbers, but canceled it barely 2 weeks after release when the sales plummeted. Hmm, sound familiar?

In a few years when Gearbox can't get funding for any original projects they'll dig up Duke Nukem.

Interplay. God, I hate thee. Those cocksuckers are the reason why I'll never play Descent 4 or FreeSpace 3. Seriously, every time I hear their name I just get furious thinking of every single person they have fucked over, both inside the industry and out.

I'm still hoping for a Deus Ex type return. If Gearbox genuinely wants to make a good game (and good games sell) then they'll put the time and effort into thinking up how to make Duke fun again. The good news is that they already have a model of what NOT to do (DNF). If they do pretty much everything the complete opposite of what was done in DNF then they should be ok.

[Rellik]

Yeah, if DNF is DX:IW, then with any luck, the next Duke will be a DX:HR

For some reason, that made me LMAO.

I'm not a fan of this reboot(if it's true).

Besides, DNF is sorta a cliffhanger.

So throw me some rep for it. Apparently people think that dick jokes and gay jokes are too "high class" for a Duke Nukem Forever forum, and someone neg repped me for it. Faggot.

I'm excited. Gearbox didn't have much time with Forever. It was rushed, and it wasn't bad for a rushed game. Duke Nukem Begins sounds cool. If Gearbox does the same stuff they did with Borderlands, It would be worth it.

Theres an expansion pack on the way. Hopefully it continues the story.

What are you talking about? Gearbox had the game for basically a whole year, and the singleplayer campaign was practically finished when they got it. They then threw a tonne of manpower at it. I think they had plenty of time.

Done.


And Duke_Forever...WTF?? All Gerabox did was polish it. They had PLENTY of time to get their shit together for this game. I'm diggin the concept for DNB, But really, I want a Duke game in the mood of *ugh* Reloaded (just no stealth please ) or Zero Hour. I always tought that type of enviorment fit Duke best.
