I'm now looking forward to this (as long as it does get released). I don't care if all they did was remake Duke Nukem 3D, I'm picking this up after watching that trailer.

There is this gearbox-approved Duke Nukem 3D: Reloaded coming, too.

[Creaphis]

Jeez, this was in development... for a really long time!

I prefer the old one. I'm a sucker for the prosaic and minimalistic.

That new boxart is thugly. Luckily it will probably be changed

[Scuba Steve]

I'm torn on the cover art. It looks ugly... but if the intention was to be a parody of every action movie/video game of this last decade... Mission Accomplished. It's a brilliant parody but a terrible cover.

It figures this would come out right after I lose my computer and am in no financial posistion for the next year to be buying a new one. Ugh. At least it's finally almost here.

You think that's bad?

I don't have electricity.

Hey, a release date... Wow....

And a new trailer.... Awsome.

"What about the game Duke? Was it anygood?"

"Well after 12 fucking years it should be."

I think that box art was just a place holder.

[hervoheebo]

They should have used this one:


I know that the new box looks fresher, heh heh it looks like the gun's his dick and all that but the ultimate irony and in time truth of "ALWAYS BET ON DUKE" can't be beat.

Outdated Trailer

No I know where Game Stop gets all of their Screenshots from DNF now.

Hail to the king, baby!

What? You thought I was gone Forever?

[caco_killer]

That is the official boxart, I highly doubt it will change.

[Technician]

I've gone back to play the second game. Thumbs up if you think Duke Nukem Forever should bring back the explodo-molar.

Every time an "epic" game comes out, it's accompanied with a "kickass" trailer that's meant to make us "pumped" to the max.

I can't help but feel all the excitement and desire just drain out of my chest, down my legs, and out through my feet when I watch trailers like these. Am I alone in this? I constantly pine for a video game that holds substance over style, fun over graphics, and the player's decisions over the storyline. I see nothing in the trailer that would lead me to believe this is the case. For me, it's just a never-ending treadmill of wishing and waiting.

It usually drains out through my groin before it gets to my feet, but yeah, I know what you mean.

that one looks gruesomely good

the Duke Nuke Forever cover for PC mentioned in here is just ... DoucheNukem...

[Phobus]

I like the look of the cover myself - it largely sums up what Duke is all about to me.

Which is, as Scuba nearly said, a brilliant parody, but a terrible character.

[Captain Toenail]

Duke just looks goofy with that stupid grin, and he appears to be ten years younger than usual. :/

The original cover is x10 times cooler IMO, if a bit dated now.

[Varis Alpha]

That cover is... odd, to say the least. Actually, it's pretty terrible. Duke doesn't look cool at all, he looks too laid back and relaxed.
As CT said, the original cover art makes Duke look badass.

He looks a bit like Johnny Bravo and I wouldn't call that a bad thing.

Whether real or not, my friend and I made a bet 2 years ago whether DNF or Dr. Dre's Detox would be released first. Both of us are pretty much sure-fire that we aren't going to win that bet (my money's on Detox). They've both reached the point of a punchline, and fuck... they're both so old that when it actually gets released, I won't care.

It's funny how these 2 are supposed to be released within 2 weeks of each other... Detox is scheduled on 4/20 (derp). Honestly don't care about that anymore. The Duke trailer, on the other hand... I'll have to give a try on a computer that isn't a dinosaur.

[caco_killer]

Detox is actually being released?!!

I have a feeling that epic trailers are also attempts to hide how the shitty the game might actually be.

This may not be true but it's plausible considering that todays FPS games are diminishing in quality.

[caco_killer]

I sincerely doubt DNF is going to be like Call of Duty.

But people do judge by reviews. Users who left comments on Youtube

Well now there's your problem. They seriously ought to make people provide a print out of their youtube commenting track record before they allow them to vote, drive or breed.
