Duke Nukem

[Memorex]

Microsoft now owns Bethesda, and they should buy Duke Nukem rights and give it to id Software

When I was referring to the real Duke Forever I was referring to the 1998 trailer:

and the 2001 trailer:

This version is supposed to be "almost complete" so before a new Duke game in 2021, I would test the ground with this version of Forever. I'm pretty sure that a wonderful game is hiding behind those trailer.

nah Duke Nukem Forever was very bad game. Only voice actor was cool.

Shadow Warrior 1 was what i wanted from Duke Nukem.

3D Realms have been making some awesome games recently, and they are the original publishers of Duke Nukem, so I believe they deserve the rights more than anybody.
Still, an ID Software spin off or something like that would be awesome.

Nah, I wouldn't trust 3D Realms with a Duke reboot. They sat on it for 15 years and just made a mistake after mistake. Duke deserves better. id would never do it though, it makes no sense when Quake is a lot more bankable name if they intend to do another old school shooter reboot.

Eh, I thought they did a good job with Ion Fury.

If it is not Gearbox that did Duke Forever . . . I dont know, I could not enjoy that game (could not find as horrendous as people said, or hating it, but could not enjoy either . . . dont know, maybe the pace of the game, or the bad jokes that did not work aside from the "power armor is for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" one, that was a funny Halo pun there) but maybe also because I did not go too far, maybe I would find it horrendous later on . . . or maybe, who knows, even start to enjoy it.

Duke Nuken Forever sitting there, who knows, maybe a day I go for it to complete, I did not refund because I decided to give it a chance, just not that time.

They did, but that's a build engine game. I wouldn't trust them with a big budget Duke reboot.

That's one Nuked Duke.

Recently? RECENTLY?!? Duke Nukem Forever was a decade ago, and it was ANYTHING but awesome. It was a pile of dross that was the equivalent of an inbred bastard child of a game. It was awful, wasn't fun and relied on toilet humour jokes that while might have been funny in 1996 when Duke Nukem 3D came out; wasn't funny in the 21st century - Plus, John St. John sounded tired as ♥♥♥♥ when he recorded those lines.

Then, I think the mobile phone games before them were pretty uninteresting and didn't get much marketing, so it comes down to Manhattan Project in 2002 which got mixed reviews.

Duke Nukem hasn't done a decent game since the turn of 2000, and Zero Hour was probably the last great game they ever made.

Duke Nukem Forever is an excellent game. I don't understand all the hate for not being Duke 3D 2.0

Easy... the hate for it was because it was a ♥♥♥♥♥♥ game that had mediocre graphics, no new enemies or even weapons (I mean for ♥♥♥♥♥ sake, they still had the Cycloid Emperor, Octobrain, Troopers, Pigcops and the Battlelord and most of the exact same weapons) in the game - all enemies and guns used 15 years prior in Duke 3D.

Games have to evolve, which is why Serious Sam 4 is starting to disappoint fans.

Just imagine what Hugo Martin could do with Duke Nukem. He'd single-handedly bring it back. Just like he did with DooM.

Or consider that in theory, id Software could make a game with Master Chief, Doom Slayer, BJ Blaskowicz, and Duke Nukem all in one.

Uh, did you even play it? Duke 3D got glowing reviews and won many awards at release, it's game world was more interactive than in any FPS before it, shooting felt great and still does, the city and alien levels were very impressive in design and scope, it's more fun than Blood or Quake to me still. I get not liking a popular game, but calling it "awful pile of dross" is just dumb. Especially when you compare it to other games that were out at the time.

By 1 decade ago I guess he was talking about Duke Nuken Forever not Duke Nuken 3D

yah duke 3d is from 1996, 25 years old. that's well over two decades.

speaking of which i played through duke 3d megaton and anniversary editions just a few days ago. it was great.

Doh! You are right. My bad. I'll delete that post.
Still I enjoyed Duke Forever for what it was, it's very short and they kept changing things up so it rarely bored me, and the new versions of the old enemies were well recreated, plus weapons felt good so I had fun fragging the aliens. Many of the new vo's made me laugh too. Not a great game, but far from being awful in my books.

Sorry - I was talking about Duke Nukem FOREVER. Pile of crap. I mean what they presented in 1998 was interesting, but the video from 2001 looked like it would have been a great game.

What we got in 2011 was just the remains of what could have been...

Duke Nukem 3D was great, so it was such a shame to see it fall so far from its lofty mantle.

[~Neon Doom~]

Duke is dead Duke Nukem forever spent 14 years in development and is a total flop clunky controls just garbage
Randy Pitchford sold out so did John Romero and Carmack

Doom is doing great without em
ID needs to focus on more doom and not Duke
