Duke

the_syco

Duke Nukem 3D was released on January 29, 1996 for the PC.

Now, they said DNF will be released 2011, so I wonder will there be a demo on the January 29th 2011?

More than likely Febuary 29th 2011.

Probably closer to the listed April release date.

Unless I missed something, what happened to the trailer they showed off behind closed doors since they announced it was completed? I know they needed to get an offical rating for it but....

Can't wait to go shooting with Duke again, it's been too long.

Oh really? Missed that date completely on the 2KGames site

Only know about Randy saying

The game is absolutely coming in 2011 and in late January or early February we're going to be peeling back the next layer of the game, so to speak. And that will make a lot more things clear not just about the game itself, but about its launch.

Game.co.uk list it as April (that's a new relisting) and I was sure Amazon listed this too, but it's gone now. Probably best to ignore me.

I thought it was due for release earlier in the year than April, but that's still cool with me. New Duke and the new Kombat released in the same month?
Bye bye, social life. It's been nice knowing you.

Not long ago my Steam version of Borderlands received a code for early access to DNF whenever a playable version comes along.

I lol'd.

As it turns out, we now know when that's happening.

"Somehow the guys at Game Informer magazine discovered Duke Nukem Forever's launch date before I did," joked Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software and executive producer of Duke Nukem Forever. "But I cannot imagine any better video game news source team than Game Informer to reveal the moment of truth for the most inconceivable, incorrigible and inspiring turn around story in the history of the video game industry – the coming of Duke Nukem Forever on May 3, 2011."

“The moment fans all over the world have been waiting for is almost here,” says Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “May 3, 2011 marks Duke’s return as he unleashes his brash and brutally honest wit on the world. His return is going to be epic and one that will make video gaming history!”

May 3 is the North American release date. May 6 is worldwide.

:eek:

Some religious loonies did predict the end of the world in May 2011, they're not looking so wrong this time...

I'm calling it now - Biggest Disappointment of 2011 in the Boards Game Awards - Daikatana 2... I mean Duke Nukem Forever.

Hercule

I never stopped believing

Penn

At this stage, isn't Duke Nukem one of the 4 horsemen of the Apocolypse?

Hope it bombs to be honest. Just for the sheer hilarity

AnCapaillMor

So the mayans got it wrong, the world won't end 2012, it'll be may 2nd 2011.

Just in America, we have to wait till May 5th

the_syco

May? That's like five one hundred and twenty five months away :P

Still hoping we get some sort of beta/demo in March/April/now.

To be fair; it can't be anything but a disappointment after this amount of waiting. Astonishing to think that I was five when the last one was released.....

Nah, it'll be decent. Everyone's so convinced that it's going to be a steaming turd that when it turns out to be an average shooter, they'll be impressed.

SOLD!

Duggy747

I always bet on Duke, can't wait to collect my winnings!

I just hope it's not a plate of poo I'll win.

Nah, it's Duke, of course it'll be good. If it's a long game (and it's promised to be really big and long) then I'll be happy. I don't want a game-changer, I just want funny shìt and action with Duke one more time!

Retr0gamer

That actually looks like a load of fun.... My brain can't take this.

marco_polo

I'm going to go and collect my flying pig after work.

kiddums

Man that looks soooo sweet. (Yea I said it)
I want the demo tho. I won't be able to get the game when it comes out.:(

dreamers75

Borderlands team involved reckon it will be an 8/10 game nothing new just stupid big guns and Duke.

Sierra Oscar

I am not getting my hopes up for the gameplay . . . but hopefully I will be pleasantly surprised.

As long as it isn't a linear, rail-line game, full of pointless cutscenes and predictability like COD then I'll don't care.

I hope this game runs decent enough too. Would be a bitch if it was buggy, bastards had plenty of time to QA it.

Retr0gamer

Threads merged.

Venom

The visuals and gameplay look sweet but Duke's wisecracks come across as pretty lame tbh.

Professey Chin

This looks like so much fun

Corkfeen

After watching that trailer, i'll admit that I can't wait for it.... Even if it's god awful; we can still enjoy the joe duffy complaints about it...:D

So, you mean typical Duke? Excellent!

Cos we've heard them all before, or that they're badly timed? Either way, I'd say it'll be better in the game.

Healium

Eh, I'll get Bulletstorm instead. Like the idea of the Skillshot system

Sarky

From the trailer I get the horrible feeling that Gearbox want to make me their bitch.

Still, there's footage there that we haven't seen for the last Christ knows how long. What if... What if it's actually going to be released, and shocks everyone by not sucking monkey-ass? It's going to be really weird. What will people joke about then?

You could take out a loan and spend the next 12 years paying it off .

I already have a loan I can't pay back, and they won't give me any more.
They won't even give me a credit card.:mad:

Duke would so kick my ass and insult me for being such a little b**ch.:o:(
Tho that would mean I'd get to meet him.:pac:

Tell them it's for Duke, and they'll just start start shovelling money at you.

Duggy747

Can't wait, I've spent the past 14 years playing Duke3D on & off. Last time I got back into it with the high-res pack and it still had it's charm

Mr. Presentable

Most expensive game ever. Gonna cost me €1549.99

But if the rating warnings list is anything to go by:
Blood and Gore
Intense Violence
Strong Language
Mature Humour
Nudity
Strong Sexual Content
Use of Drugs and Alcohol

Totally worth it

New PC and a copy? Or are you being generous and it's free copies for your fellow boardsies?
