Who's getting Duke Nukem Forever?

Archive: 23 posts


Who's getting Duke Nukem Forever (http://tinyurl.com/4hcqpp7)? I am still a bit on the fence with it and I originally saw the Balls of Steel edition was set to like $350 on Amazon. YIKES! But now it's $90 so I guess that $350 was a mistake.

Anyway, I loved the original Duke so, so long ago and I like the developer who's got it now. Hopefully I see this game next week at PAX East and can get my hands on it. If so, I'll let you guys know how it is.

But who already plans to get it or knows they are not getting it? Anyone on the fence like me?

As with alot of games I'm on the fence until I get to sample it or hear sufficient feedback from reviewers and the general public.2011-03-04 16:48:00

It looks good, I played almost all of them, I remember when playing PS1 I actually triggered the lara croft Phone custcene while my parents were close XD
my fav one was the 3rd person one on PS1, so I gotta admit im a bit on edge about the new one, but after all Duke Nukem was First Person in the first place =P

It looks pretty good, the story just made me lol
But idk if I will get it, its a awesome game its hilarious but this one might be a bit to graphical and im not alone in this house nor single lol.

So leave me a space in the fence seat!

I've never played a Duke Nukem in my life. I've heard plenty about them though. So I'm highly interested in this one. I won't be buying it though. I'll be renting it from Gamefly. By the way will this game have a multiplayer feature.2011-03-07 00:46:00

Basically seems to be a more story-based/corridor version of Borderlands - which is not a bad thing... the art style of Borderlands would be perfect for a Duke Nukem revamp.
Hopefully it'll still be as chock full of easter eggs as the previous ones.

I wouldn't expect anything new from the game, I reckon it'll be a review of classic FPS gaming - much like the original - but it's been a while since we've had a back to basics shooter.

Might not get it at release, but will definately be picking it up at some point.

Although it sounds good I dont think duke nukem should be made in some artistic style, I dont think it will have positive results, the same has happened to MK and now its going back to the root.

Thought duke nukem has never lost its originality though, only the change from, side scroll, to FPS, and then 3rd shooter, everything else pretty much the same to me.
Only better graphics etc and stuff.


Edit* Cliffy yeah it most likely will have a Kick a-- multiplayer like it always had, blowing each other to pieces, its gonna be hardcore so yeah

As much as I love Duke's ridiculous banter, I'm probably not getting this.

There are way too many games releasing around April and May and with the promising announcement of Serious Sam 3 this summer, there's just not room for an average FPS. I just don't think I could spend over $30 on it.

If they were smart, they would've just made DNF a cheaper downloadable title. I have a feeling it's not going to generally sell well in retailers.

Hi-larious!

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't delayed, and they are merely trolling us just for the lulz.

As for me... not getting in. Never was interested in Duke Nukem, and to me, this should have stayed a joke. It will always have been a better joke than a game. /sigh Ah well...

I have incredibly fond memories of the old PC & N64 versions - both single player and multiplayer.
I just hope that they're not ruined by this new version

I do want Duke Nukem: Forever, but it's not like I live alone. I remember the days I used to play Duke Nukem 3D and Duke Nukem: Manhattan Project on the computer. On 3D, there was an option to censor the stuff on it, and on Manhattan Project, I just had to lower the sound effects down, because there was no option to silence the voice volume.

I'm hoping that GearBox puts in a censor option like 3DRealms did. Because if there isn't, I'm gonna wait a while before getting Duke Nukem: Forever. (Note that I decided to wait a while, nobody else decided for me)

There's not much good space left in the year for another delay, this delay has moved it out of the crowded May launch window. The only real competition in June is Infamous 2 then it's about 2 months with nothing before the new Deus Ex starts the end of year release marathon.2011-03-26 18:43:00
