Not yet. Stream is still off the air, though I was just hearing some ads.

EDIT: http://kotaku.com/5628894/its-official-duke-nukem-forever-coming-from-gearbox-software

I've been chewing bubble gum for far too long.

 

[taviow]

Stream working now.

I'm guessing it's gonna be something like "DUKE NUKEM FOREVER: NOW POPAMOLE CONSOLE SHOOTER"

 

[_-_-SELAS-_-_]

Wooooooo but the sound in the stream is having issues..

 

[taviow]

It's just been confirmed that it's coming for PS3, 360, PC on 2011.

Also, some guy who played the game: "The graphics need a bit of polish but you know, it's early so it's ok" ROFL

Also I *think* I just saw regenerating health, not sure.

 

[ChiliFan]

Hahaha they had the camera guy and interviewer hang around filming the crowd for 15 minutes, then they go inside the booth to see the trailer and after this big announcement it's like "just a few rules....no video" and the camera guy has to leave the room.

 

[taviow]

Honestly though, odds are, after 10 years, all we're getting is a console port.

I don't think I've seen even a single keyboard in there so far.

 

[Sedako]

Also I *think* I just saw regenerating health, not sure.

 

[taviow]

Yeah I'm pretty sure regenerating health is on now, also console port, etc etc.

 

[B_MAN]

i'll wait for better quality
but glad it's actually happening
and from a good studio too

 

[Lucid]

I am thoroughly enraged.
Gearbox has turned the game into a console port.

After all these ****ing years, I've been quite literally waiting for about 10 or so years.

God damn it.

 

[Ravioli]

yupp, looks like console port.

those who missed it, i recorded some. Il upload the rest soon

Tbh, you could have seen the regenerating health in the leaked gameplay from months ago. In fact, the gameplay here is the exact same as before.

 

[Krynn72]

Drawing on the dry erase board was cool. If the game has lots of little touches like that, I can forgive the consolitis.

 

[taviow]

PLUS, I haven't seen any strippers.

This. AND if it has a kick function.

 

[He11raiser]

Anyone know if Gearbox is still working on Colonial Marines?

 

[T-6000]

Yeah, based on what I have seen so far it seems more or less similar to the recent gameplay leaks earlier this year. Maybe Gearbox will polish it up. And the leaked gameplay footage didn't wow me, so I'm a bit concerned. I'm waiting until there is better footage before judging it, but it would be a shame if after all these years it turned out to be mediocre.

As for a 2011 release, I won't hold my breath on it. I know there's another developer at the helm this time, and I hope Randy puts his foot down about not wanting to drag it's development further. But too many times already have I seen gameplay footage of DNF, with a release date, and that date ends up slipping.

 

[love_nutz2]

better be ****in' good

 

[Paulaner]

Starcraft 2: checked
Duke Nukem Forever: checked
Ep3/HL3, now it's your turn.

 

[love_nutz2]

I think you mean one 3rd of starcraft 2 is checked.

 

[Remus]

Starcraft 2: checked
Duke Nukem Forever: checked
Ep3/HL3, now it's your turn.

It hasn't been released yet so, no, not checked.

 

[Matorbogl]

Always bet on Gearbox to make it suck.

 

[_-_-SELAS-_-_]

QFT

You never know when they give up even in later dev.

 

[love_nutz2]

Aren't they just finishing 3dRealms work, it isn't a redo?

 

[Vegeta897]

As if 3D Realms would make Duke Nukem have regenerating health.

 

[love_nutz2]

You never know. Remember Prey.

 

[Lucid]

Prey had regenerating health?

 

[Remus]

It will have all the standard features of consolitis:
-narrow, headache inducing FOV
-slow moving character
-guns that sound and look like toys
-regenerating health
-sprint function
-iron sights
-no quicksaves
-no dedicated servers
-no modding tools

EDIT:

Prey had regenerating health?

No it didn't. It had a system similar to half Life. Health pickups, and consoles on the walls that would heal you.

 

[TwwIX]

I smell another half assed and forgettable Prey like outcome.

 

[love_nutz2]

EDIT:

remember when you died, and you fight spirits to regenerate you health :|

 

[Bad^Hat]

GODDAMNIT GEARBOX, CONSOLIZING MY VAPORWARE. ;( ;( ;(

Seriously why does anyone still care about this. It was going to be shit either way and you know it.

 

[Shakermaker]

Any non-shaky videos out yet?

 

[T-6000]

I'm......starting to think I'm the only one here who actually liked Prey. But anyways, I still have an open and optimistic mind and will give it a chance when it comes out. I just hope it'll have a demo before release, though I won't hold my breath on it since those are rare nowadays. Oh, and here's my early prediction for one of DNF's achievements:

ALWAYS BET ON DUKE!: Complete Duke Nukem Forever.

 

[Remus]

I'm......starting to think I'm the only one here who actually liked Prey.

I liked it too. I especially liked all the ideas it had: seamless portals, walking all over spherical planetoids, shifting gravity etc.

 

[Ravioli]

Quick interview for those who missed it. Talks a bit about the health regen

[Remus]

remember when you died, and you fight spirits to regenerate you health :|

That is not what I would call regenerating health. Hiding behind a corner and waiting for your health and shields to recharge however is.

 

[YROC]

Updated photo of receipt. It's so brown now. This is glorious.

 

[stemot]

I liked Prey as well, so much so I'm going to re-install it now on Steam. I haven't played it since the system I used to run it on came to a crawl on the sphere sections.

 

[Lucid]

Prey had some nifty level design but other than that it sucked.

Anyways, I'm pleased that they're keep some of the old weapons.
**** YEAH SHRINK RAY.
