Duke Nukem Forever Is Big and a Lot of Fun, Says Gearbox

[Denamic]

That's according to Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, who called the single player campaign "huge" and said it weighed in at roughly three times the size of Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.

So...
It's 9 hours long?
That's not really that impressive.

Wow, MW2 gets shorter and shorter every day. First it was only eight hours long, then six, now it's whittled all the way down to three. I want to shake the hand of the man who beat MW2 in three hours on veteran.

That isn't something to get excited about, that makes it what, 15 hours?

I am so terribly pessimistic about this game and I will not buy it unless it is as good as over a decade of hype has made it out to be.

Unlikely.

 

[AndyFromMonday]

So it lasts 12 hours? That's not "WoW" by my standards tbh.

 

[mParadox]

Gotta love the hype before the let down.

Amen. It will apocolyptic to see the reaction the reaction if the game turns out to be 'teh shite'.

 

[Retardinator]

The funny thing about DNF is that it will come out before HL2 Episode 3. Now, I thought THAT to be impossible.

Here's another thing. One of the things that influenced the DNF cancellation when it was back in the 2001-era build was the announcement of Half-Life 2.
History repeats itself? Unlikely.

I'm hearing a lot of size jokes about their massive package, and how stiffly it deals with openings in the market, but we all know about men who brag about how big there's is.

I'm just hoping it leaves people satisfied without being a huge phallusy. It's got a lot more to do with how its used than being a huge release.

....Heh....Heh heh. Heh. That was most amusing.




Heh, penis.


OT: Well, for all we know it really is perfection. This could be the best game ever, a masterpiece every step of the way.

What? It might be...

 

[PunkZERO]

The boss of a company says that a game they release will rock.......sacre bleu, never heard that before

Regarding DNF: For some years now I'm pretty comfortable with following this simple rule:

Don't believe ANYTHING DNF-regarded, 'til the game is finally released...and if never so: well you didn't expect anything in the first place ^^

Im still ROFLing over it...

Anyways, Duke Nukem Forever could very well be total shit... and ill still buy a copy new just because its the fucking DUKE! Thats more than enough of a reason. If it is as good as he says, than thats just icing on the cake.

Would someone please take this game off life support? It's been in a coma for longer than I've been gaming. There are no signs of life. Have some mercy and just let it die.

Obvious troll is obvious.

Moving on, DNF couldn't come out quicker now, we're in the home stretch. I'm so amped!

 

[Mr Pantomime]

I never actually played Duke Nukem, but im buying this game. Clever marketing isnt it? Well played Gearbox, well played

...so you completely missed PAX then? I assume so, since that's the only reason I can think of for that blatantly wrong statement could possibly exist.

also, it's not like there aren't at least 2 news a day mentioning this game.

Take this news for instance. Claiming the single player campaign will be HUGE because it'll be much longer than MW2.... really? that's your big news? everyone has gone out of their way to say how the single player campaign in that game is so short that it's almost an afterthought.
What's next in the news section? "Duke Nukem Forever has much better graphics than Quake 3"?

I'm getting sick of people quoting me on this.

Look, it was supposed to come out a decade ago. It still hasn't come out. Now it's with another developer: Even if it does come out, it won't be the same game for which you people have been waiting; it'll just have the same name.

Bound to be disappointed guy is bound to be disappointed. We've been in the home stretch for a decade. Relax.

 

[VanityGirl]

I'm already getting sick of seeing too much Duke Nukem news. This makes me think this game will be an overhyped piece of junk.

 

[UtopiaV1]

I can't wait for Duke's big game to penetrate my life and make me his *****! EEEEEEEIIIIII!!!

 

[JUMBO PALACE]

Saying it's three times as long as MW2 sounds better than 12 hours
