Dude Nukem Forever?

09/03/10 9:39 pm | #1

Last Friday, Take Two Interactive Software announced that they had taken over the production of Dude Nukem Forever after the collapse of 3DR, is nearly finished with it, and we can expect to see it hit the XBox, PS3, and PC sometime in 2011.

Now im sure most of us know that when somebody says "look guys! we're almost done with Dude Nukem Forever! its coming out soon!" that we should be very very careful weather to actually listen closely or not. its kind of like the little boy who cried wolf. after a while, we just don't believe it anymore. not to mention this monster of a post by Heckitic back in Dec 07 when this was last spoken of on the sight. http://xboxamerica.com/threads/Duke-Nukem-Forever-Lives i can only imagine the new stats that would be in that post in just the 3 years since THEN.

so what do you think. is it real this time?

Yeah it's real. People are playing an early build of it at PAX.

Supposedly, the game was only about 9-11 months away from release before it got canned for the last time. Gearbox has the rights now, and they are intent on getting it out. They are going to polish it up some but for the most part it's still the same game it was back then, ie using Unreal Engine 2.5 heavily modified.

Yea I hope Gearbox gets it done right and it doesn't feel outdated.

Lol, Dude Nukem? But yeah looking forward for it, I got confidence in Gearbox though, because Borderlands and Brothers in Arms were pretty good imo.

In other news, Duke... Where's my car?

My big thing is I don't understand what DNF is supposed to offer in this day and age.

Originally, George Broussard and his team at 3D Realms were going to make the most cutting-edge FPS type game they could, with the newest engine, tons of tweaks, yadda yadda. This is why the title had so many iterations and development chewed through potential game engines so fast.

The other thing is, back in the day when gamers were playing Blake Stone and Commander Keen, Duke Nukem represented a big middle finger to political correctness and paid blatant fan service to its core demographic.

Now here we are in 2010, and the state of the games industry is in an entirely different place. They could do DNF on the latest version of the Crytek Engine and they'd still not be "cutting edge".

On top of that, the Duke's trademark attitude and machismo are more a goofy anachronism at this point than anything else. Having the enemy be policemen that are also pigs? C'mon man, there are a ton of games out there where you can slaughter realistic styled police from either "side" of the law.

It was a big deal to be able to interact with background objects back then, and even more so to be able to tip a stripper and get a quick peep show, but nowadays we have destructible environments, relatively good AI and processing power for tons of objects and NPCs with physics behind them, not to mention full nudity in a lot of games.

What exactly is it Duke Nukem Forever could possibly offer anyone at this point? I feel like Gearbox has as good a chance as anyone of making a decent game out of whatever was left of the 3DR debacle, but I just can't figure out why they want to in the first place.

I think this is going to be a rental for me. I like Duke Nukem, but the promo vids didn't really excite me that much.
