What will Yahtzee do in response to Duke Nukem Forever's Resurrection?

[McMarbles]

So unless you live under a rock, you know that Duke Nukem Forever is alive and kicking after more than a decade of "production." Anyway, what do you think Yahtzee will do in response to this reveal (if he does anything at all)? After all, he did do a great DNF Zero Punctuation episode like a year or so ago (which eerily won the viewer's choice award the same week that said game was resurrected) so now I feel like he's going to have to eat his words. What think you, oh fellow people of The Escapist?

Other than a really scathing review when it actually comes out, I don't see what he would do.

 

[kouriichi]

Just watch.
it will end up being a 9 hour long rick roll with the king ((not elvis)) singing the song.

The game, or Yahtzee's review, or both?

Hopefully just the game.

Knowing Yahtzee, the review would 7 minutes of of meatspin and harping on how fat and disgusting the average video gamer is.

 

[Pigeon_Grenade]

he is gonna do what he always does, ignore it, or insult it Alot

 

[Funkiest Monkey]

Absolutely Nothing. It is not relevant anymore.

It is, now more than ever.

Always bet on Duke.

 

[Custard_Angel]

If the game comes out, Yahtzee will review it and either declare it shit or not shit. Like... you know... all the games he reviews.

One thing people dont seem to get with his reviews is that he doesn't lie about them. If he doesn't have fun with a game, he says that he didn't have fun. If he actually liked a game, he doesn't pretend it didn't happen (See: Gears of War 2).

Will he bring the whole eternity-long development thing up? Fuck yeah. Will it affect the outcome? Not really.

It just means that if the game sucks he'll call them out on the fact the game took 15 years to suck.

Notice how this came just immediately after the DNF review was crowned king? Makes you think... Whoa, that's pretty crazy.

 

[AMMO Kid]

I HOPE he will make a video. HOPE. hope is something I've learned not to depend on with yahtzee... Hope rhymes with pope///

 

[hermes]

He'll write an Extra Punctuation about how little he cares.

This.
Which will actually prove the opposite.

It's a conspiracy!

 

[joshuaayt]

And then it turned out that the DNF video was just a cover, and Yahtzee himself was making it in his spare time (Explaining the delays, I mean, he's just one guy, guys)
How else can you explain the timing? That's right, you can't.

 

[Jekken6]

He will stand by his original review of it. And probably mention the actual DNF in an XP article

"Well butter my love nuts, Duke Nukem Forever - or as it shall now be known DNF (Which coincidentally is short for DID NOT FINISH in car racing) - the great Vaporware of the 20xes has returned to continue taunting the 201xes. Watch me anticipate its releace by tonguing my own balls! *Sounds of grunting before a loud thud* Ok maybe I'm not that flexible."

 

[Mr. Gency]

He'll explain that they're re-releasing it because it was so awesome the first time that no one remembers it.

 

[Mr. Gency]

It's a conspiracy!

There is no such thing as a conspiracy. Now if you excuse me, I have to go meet up with my assassin buddies and kill some Templars.

 

[Oliver Pink]

how could he not talk about this? duke nukem forever is a legend coming true

To be fair, many Starcraft 2 fans would argue that Starcraft 2 was a Huge event - and he couldn't care less.

na duke nukem is like 100 times more manly-er

And also just as over-rated

Though he probably Will do it just 'cause it's an FPS.

 

[lapan]

Nothing, for all we know the devs are laughing that people still fall for the joke that is Duke Nukem Forever.

 

[Oliver Pink]

im pretty sure he'll do it cause DNF was supposed to come out in 1997 and because its sort of a running joke now

Perhaps, but I don't think he'll make a big deal out of it.
