If it's real I'm buying it. I HATE modern shooters. They all suck rancid cocks.
OT: Duke Nukem isn't the most challenging title in the world, never has been. You're there to shoot pigs, seduce strippers, gamble, spout tired one-liners, and BLOW SHIT UP. I for one think it's a fan-mod, but I can guarantee this game will sell more than CoD:MW2 if they finally manage to develop it to fruition.

I don't think this is a late April Fools, it looks to polished.
Looks more like a Halo 3 mod to me. It'll probably pop up on XBLA in a few months.

This link here will take you to George Broussards Formspring. A social Networking site where anyone can ask him anything. In the questions someone asks if that trailer is real. He says the footage is real, but the audio has been put in.
Calumon: Hehehe. Always bet on CALUMON!
I'm not sure it's real, but more to the point I can't really find myself caring about Duke Nukem anymore. Yahtzee was actually right when he talked about how our culture has moved passed the immature, hypermacho antics of Duke Nukem. The game looks like Half-Life 2, except the Duke, unlike Dr. Freeman, just won't shut up with the stupid, psuedo-macho one-liners. It was kinda cool when I was 10, but it's just immature and outdated now.
The way I see it, there are two paths that any new incarnation of Duke Nukem could go:
a) He could go the path of modern shooters and adopt a grim, psuedo-neanderthal macho attitude similar to the path taken by Bionic Commando (this will likely end in failure).
or
b) He could go the path of humorous, over-the-top throw-back parody, notching the cheese up to 11 and poking fun at the franchises history, similar to what House of the Dead: Overkill and Matt Hazard of Eat Lead! (which is itself a parody of the Duke Nukem franchise and it's cliches, satiracle macho-ism, and Hasselhoff/Shatner cheese factor).
I believe the 2nd path could actually prove to be successful. Duke Nukem was designed originally as a parody of over-the-top 80s action heroes, despite the straight-faced macho appeal he garnered during the 90s. Any hope the Duke has of a comeback requires him to not only re-embrace the level of parody existent in past incarnations, but rachet it up to a whole new crazy level, as the humor and satire hasn't aged well and if underdone will only come off as another generic, wanna-be tough-ass protagonist that come dime a dozen in modern shooters.

I don't even play the series, but if this game ever did come out, I'd buy it just for the novelty of saying I own a copy.
Yea, that looks like a rad fucking game. Doesn't sound like Jon St. Jon either but who knows, a voice could change a lot in 10 years. If that isn't real DNF footage then I hope it's a mod that will soon be playable by me. Then again, the control graphics were for XBox 360 (press red B to reload or not die or something).technoted said:
Looks like they have a lot of Half Life 2 esque puzzles in there. It looks like some funis to be had here. When it comes out in 20XX, I'll definitely pick it up.
It's legit, some of that gameplay has been shown before, although always in brief snippets. Looks pretty good too, been too long since someone released a decent run & gun since every developer seems to be busy wanking to that 3rd person duck & cover junk.
Now don't get me wrong, the whole 3rd person cover thing can be fun. But when it seems like every single game is doing it now... blarg!

Looks pretty cool (Although it may end up being fairly generic like the most recent Wolfenstein, by the looks of it), but I seriously doubt it's legit.
Would be cool if it is, though.
