Thinking about Duke Nukem Forever

[DEATH eVADER]

When I ponder, I think about stuff that really stands out, such as the Batman franchise. How does a 30's Comic sensation turn into a laughable TV series? How does a corny, and, frankly, gay 60's TV series turn a bitter and dark story of Batman Begins?

With that in mind I wanted to take you into the Frnachise that is, Duke Nukem. With its beginnings coming from a 2D scrolling shooter and then with progression through technology, the Duke games have evolved from Duke Nukem 1, all the way to Duke Nukem 3D and beyond.

Things that have evolved:

from
Dukes one liner "I'm back!" (From Duke Nukem 2)
to
Dukes 1001 ripped-off movie one-liners

Medical pickups
to
Picking up atoms for an extra +100 health gain

With that set, it should be interesting to see how Duke Nukem: Forever would have progressed (That is if we ever get to play it). With dialogue becoming a priority for story development, it would be interesting to know how characters, as well as duke, develop the story. Will we be given the origins of how he became the Duke?

What are your ideas? Was he some sort of experiment, super hero, just some bad ass?

I won't buy it. *cough*

 

[Dalamari]

It's never coming out, so it doesn't matter

 

[Qonfused]

It's been vaporware for so long, it's not even a funny joke anymore.

 

[Mutley]

Maybe it's a 10 year advertising trick?

Im pretty sure in the next pc gamer US there will be something on DNF. It had a little teaser on the back issue.

"I have no idea what tasty info they could be talking about. Someone at PCG feel free to contact me - I'm curious

The more and more we talk about it, the more I'm pretty sure we'll lead off with releasing our own videos of the game, then do press after that. We'll see, but thats certainly the prevailing attitude internally."

I hope you like thinking about Duke Nukem forever.

You will be doing it alot.

Maybe it will be the first game on the real holo game in star trek style.

When(If) it comes out, I'll buy it no matter what.

Because, to be honest, the only thing they had in common was the names of stuff. Everything else about the 3 mediums was fairly different. And have you read Dark Knight Returns yet?

There was something similar in the back of PC Zone

To compare the Batman and Duke Nukem series is insane.

Interesting. Probably something big coming. Maybe the first screenshots or features article. Cant wait!

Why we're waiting so long is because, Duke isn't ready to come out of the closet just yet.

We're in for a big surprise.

I know it is a bad example, but it would better to say that Duke Nukem is what Sin City would be like, if it had extra aliens in it.

In the mean time, lets check out the trailer made some time ago, and let us remember what we could possibly be missing out on ;(

QFT. It's just sad.
