Duke Nukem Forever - Always bet on duok

[Kaisha]

All I'd want from it personally is the art book, but it looks like it'll be one of those friggen tiny DVD-cover sized ones (like my ME2 book) which make it impossible to appreciate the artwork done for the project.

Hope they do a print run of a proper sized book, and perhaps some literal balls of steel. Don't really care for anything else in the package. Duke bust is too small and likely made of cheap plastic for my taste. Duke deserves better.


Still waiting for my damn demo though. ;/

Baals of Steel



Somewhat unrelated but still funny.

+) 4 gameplay modes: Dukematch, Team Dukematch, Capture the Babe and Hail to the King (King of the Hill mode). Dukes on other teams will have either red or blue shirts.

+) 8 player max, 4 vs 4 teams only

+) In 'Capture the Babe' when you grab the other teams babe sometimes she'll start to freak out as you take her back to your base, so you have to give her a gentle smack to quiet her down

+) 10 maps at launch, maps include; remade Dukeburger where all Dukes are miniature running around a giant world, 'Morning Wood' old west town, Vegas Casinos, etc.

+) Jetpack only shows up in some multiplayer maps, isn't in single player

+) Holoduke will be just like Duke 3D, but this time around the player becomes cloaked, allowing for sneak melee kills

+) Steriods allow Duke to do one hit kill punches, also allows for faster run speeds, cannot use weapons, not sure if their immune to Shrinker anymore like in Duke 3D.

+) When shrunk by the Shrinker, the mini-Duke can still use weapons, but they only do 10% of the normal damage

+) You can plant trip bombs on players and enemies

+) Confirmed weapons; pistol, shotgun, ripper chaingun, pipebomb, rpg, shrinker, railgun, freezer, devestator, tripbomb. Can only use 2 primary weapons at once along with pipebombs and tripbombs.

+) As you kill other players you gain experience points, which, when acquiring enough of them, you can spend the points on customizing your Duke. Basic kills get basic points, but specialty one time achievement kills like killing someone when using the holoduke or funny kills like killing yourself with the pipebomb by accident, gives you bonus points.

[Corrderio]

I don't know why, but the dildo cracked me up for some reason.

I wish I had 100 dollars to blow on the balls of steel edition.

Wait for it......wait for it, DELAYED


http://www.joystiq.com/2011/03/24/du...rever-delayed/

Take-Two claims that the industry's eternally charging Lancelot, Duke Nukem Forever, is now set to arrive internationally on June 10th, and in North America on June 14th. At this crucial point in the game's comically extended timeline, though, you should probably just wait until the unboxing video before you start believing again.

[Arnwulf]

This game truly is cursed. I fear it will never be released.....ever.

What did they do, build the original development studio on an Indian Burial Ground or something?

[vrumpt]

pretty nice production value just to announce a delay. love gearbox

[Tyrath]

At the very least the announcement video was funny :/

[vrumpt]

Also good for them tactically. no point in releasing this when Portal 2 and MK9 is coming out 2 weeks before it.

MK9 is zzzz, Portal 2 though.

[Minions]

Title should be changed: Gearbox proves you should always count on Delays

[Kiarax]

MK9 is zzzz, Portal 2 though.

2 weeks is gonna be 1 week and 6 days longer than you need to beat Portal 2 anyway. As if it would have made any impact on Dooks sales.
