Title: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: ZWarrior on May 07, 2009, 02:24:55 PM: :shocked2:

3D Realms is done, stick a fork in it. The site (http://www.3drealms.com) is not even responding any more. Duke Nukem Forever is terminated.

Hope you didn't pre-pay.

Post by: Mr_Anderson on September 04, 2010, 09:32:52 PM: I heard about that. So, who is going to buy it if Gearbox Software can put an end to the curse?
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: opiesilver on September 05, 2010, 02:08:28 AM: I want to see a playable demo first.....wasted way too much money on games that sucked in the last few years.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: Mr_Anderson on September 05, 2010, 01:27:14 PM: They had a demo at PAX which you can read here. (http://kotaku.com/5629782/duke-nukem-forever-impressions-two-girls-one-duke)

Looks interesting but I wonder if that was a demo from when it was at 3D Realms that Gearbox Software finished or if its a brand new one. I know they stated that a lot of the work was done for the game which was mainly the assets to make it and that they where going to use most of it.

Post by: ZWarrior on September 06, 2010, 01:01:48 AM: I might just because I have waited for so long. But then again, I may want the demo first.

Post by: ZWarrior on March 24, 2011, 07:02:07 PM: and now Gearbox is about to drop it on the world!!!!!

It as been delayed until June, but that it the closest we have been in years.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: Mr_Anderson on March 24, 2011, 08:35:42 PM: They wanted to make it really special before release by delaying it one last time!

Post by: opiesilver on March 25, 2011, 12:15:27 AM: And if you haven't read the info about the leaked multiplayer....

Post by: ZWarrior on April 23, 2011, 12:30:35 PM: Yup, it's Duke alright.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: JollyRoger on April 25, 2011, 04:34:48 PM: I'm sooo trying not to be excited about this. As you all know this game has been, well for lack of better wordage a big ol' tease. I am infact very excited and can't wait for it to come out. I'm glad that gearbox took this project over. They're the perfect team for this kind of game, beings that they're completely twisted in the head and all. By the way How's everyone? It's been a minute since I've been around. Super busy with life. I miss the good old days of running around COD2 Blastin' and laughing. Any who, not to take this off topic, All I can say is; I so want this to happen. I know it will, but I'm not going to let them break my heart again...yes I will...crap...

Post by: Mr_Anderson on May 19, 2011, 11:22:00 PM: Thought I'd share this teaser

Just a warning, it is mature.

Post by: opiesilver on May 20, 2011, 02:01:14 AM: LOL...that was good.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: ZWarrior on May 23, 2011, 06:53:41 PM: Still not sure I want to get with the language and material.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: opiesilver on June 07, 2011, 07:39:15 PM: T minus one week and counting......
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: Mr_Anderson on June 14, 2011, 02:34:26 PM: Ouch.. here is what one review (http://arstechnica.com/gaming/reviews/2011/06/duke-nukem-forever-review-barely-playable-unfunny-and-rampantly-offensive.ars) had to say about the game.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: opiesilver on June 14, 2011, 09:42:37 PM: Since I am now the owner of this game let me offer my review. IT SUCKS!!!! :swear: :swear: :swear: :swear:
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: ZWarrior on June 14, 2011, 10:44:51 PM: Really? What makes it so bad?
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: opiesilver on June 15, 2011, 03:59:16 AM: Even by my standards, and that's pretty darn low, the game is vulgar. :puke: The game play is stuck in the mid 90s and the content is lacking to say the least. You would expect this kind of game format on a Nintendo, not a modern PC game. Oh, let's just keep running down set paths and see if we can click the action button fast enough to get away from an enemy. What a monsterous waste of money. :swear:
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: opiesilver on June 15, 2011, 10:04:38 PM: OK....finished the first person part of the game and my opinion is just as bad as in my other posts. There is little if any original content to this game. Makes me sick that I wasted my money on this. Maybe multiplayer will be better.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: ZWarrior on June 16, 2011, 09:40:18 AM: Sooo, I was fine not to by it? So sad that such a fine series had to die in a flaming pool of poo.

Granted it took 12 years for it to finally hit the group with a horrendous *thwup*.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: Mr_Anderson on June 16, 2011, 12:41:14 PM: That's what it sounds like. Its gotten so bad for the PR department that they had something interesting to say to the reviewers. (http://www.wired.com/epicenter/2011/06/duke-nukems-pr-threatens/)
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: opiesilver on June 16, 2011, 07:39:23 PM: I liked the game a hell of a lot better when it was just vaporware.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: opiesilver on June 16, 2011, 07:40:04 PM: And that PR firm was fired and black listed by 2K Games today.
Title: Re: It's official... Duke is dead
Post by: Mr_Anderson on June 16, 2011, 08:12:37 PM: I figured that would happen sooner or later. You don't ever want to attack the people that review your products.

Post by: Mr_Anderson on August 30, 2011, 05:07:30 PM: Haha, I don't think the Duke saga is over yet! (http://kotaku.com/5835392/it-sounds-like-the-next-duke-nukem-game-will-be-better-and-will-be-revealed-soon)
