HTTKC for free for everyone who bought World Tour. But only to those who bought it at full price, not during the fall sales. Then Gearbox is fully redeemed.

Ok, not really. But it'd be something!

[HulkNukem]

Bulletstorm featuring Duke Nukem seems too real an outcome; I pray it is something more Duke related.
If not a full fledged game, then at least a great smaller scale game like Manhattan Project.

[hismasterplan]

No idea what to expect tomorrow. Last time we had so much hype for another Duke 3D release. Now there is no hyping, but would silence lead into a new Duke or is this a strategy to keep expectations at bay?

[HulkNukem]

Borderlands 2 on steam just got a 1.3GB update, likely has something to do with the announcement tomorrow
*edit* Also the last two DLC's they released for it were messed up and can't be played now. Either this was some automatic update that messed up the DLC, or they released an encrypted update for something new and it just happened to mess up those two DLCs.

Duke Nukem as a class in Borderlands 2. Hurr.....ay?

EDIT: and he just confirmed it's 100% Duke so those Borderlands fans can stop betting it's BL3.

Gearbox are making a full blown AAA FPS prequel to Rad Rodgers

He wouldn't budge on saying anything about World Tour, why would he suddenly be open about tomorrow?

[MusicallyInspired]

I'm getting quite excited about what's in store tomorrow. With the Duke news and the Doom soundtrack live in concert with SONIC MAYHEM....I'll not want to miss this stream! What time is it on anyway?

[xMobilemux]

I'm gonna miss the stream due to my damn job, hope to come home to a rad Duke trailer.

[Micky C]

Don't tell me people are actually getting their hopes up for a new Duke game? So far a lot of evidence is pointing to it being some kind of crossover. So the questions will be:

1. Will he even have a significant presence?
2. Will it be any good in the first place?

If the answer to either of those questions is no (and the chance of that being the case is quite high), then it's nothing to get excited about.

Don't forget, Jon thought DNF was awesome too.

Don't even think about getting your hopes up, guys. You fucking should know better.

Greatest NO I've read this year. Glad it's not a crossover BS.

[xMobilemux]

It's definitely not gonna be a Gears of War crossover, Gearbox has nothing to do with the Gears franchise, though they are rereleasing Bulletstorm which is rather similar to Gears.

It's extremely unlikely to be a brand new FPS Duke game, though it'll impress the hell out of me if it is.

I'm leaning more towards being it being the Bulletstorm rerelease with Duke as a Co Op character skin as Worst Case or a whole side campaign featuring Duke as Best Case.

Bulletstorm did after all have that mini campaign mocking the Call of Duty franchise.

For now all we know is, that it isn't THAT particular crossover. Still possible that it is another crossover.

[Tea Monster]

Please, no more countdown clocks (that don't work).

[MusicallyInspired]

I know it's not going to be a Duke game, it's just nice to hear that Duke is still relevant. Take that, all you DNF-deriding journalists.

[hismasterplan]

Agreed. Hopefully these new efforts will get newer gamers curious and more pumped for a sequel. It's frustrating to read people write Duke off because of one bad game. When an off Bond movie comes out, they just move on make a better one. Wish that logic could apply to games more often.

Horribly analogy. There have been far more Bond installments. And if Thunderball(the 4th entry) took 12+ years to produce and epically failed to meet expectations, it would be nigh impossible to renew the public's interest in the franchise. Besides, I don't think there's ever been a 007 movie that has missed the mark nearly as much as DNF did.

[hismasterplan]

Very different franchises, but my point is I want more forward thinking. I'll just have to keep on wishing.

Every 007 film since Casino Royale has sucked.

Quantum of Solace - boring
Skyfall - James Bond has crazy plot armour in that beginning scene, and the end battle scene is like Home Alone.
Spectre - Cheesy.

This.

Apparently this time Jon St John was flown out to Gearbox for a full fledged recording session, I don't know for sure if this means he is finally being directed this time cause I'm unsure if the World Tour lines were done from his home studio or not, I think DNFs were done at Gearbox, I can't remember.

But Gearbox seems to want people to start talking about Duke on their forums(Haha like that's gonna happen) and they are more active in posting Duke related stuff on the Duke Twitter and FB pages.

Maybe Randy's statement about Duke not being good business at the moment is not far off and Gearbox (possibly) putting him in Bulletstorm are slowly trying to make Duke great again by having him make small appearances and slowly rebuilding his popularity over time and then when Duke has pretty much become huge again they'll finally give him a brand new game.

[Micky C]

Are small appearances going to work in terms of bringing him back into the spotlight? It's an intriguing idea if it's done well. IF.

What are the odds of them doing an MCU-style shared universe?
