Press release:

2K Games and Gearbox Software Announce Duke Nukem Forever® Has “Gone Gold”

Vaporware no more! Gaming’s most legendary hero makes his triumphant return this June

New York, NY – May 24, 2011 – 2K Games and Gearbox Software are proud to announce that Duke Nukem Forever®, one of the most anticipated entertainment properties of all time, has “gone gold” and will be available at retailers on June 10, 2011 internationally and on June 14, 2011 in North America. The road to gold was paved over the course of 15 years and its legendary path climaxes on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. Gamers who pre-order the title from select outlets will ensure that they are among the first to experience this legendary piece of gaming history when the demo* launches on June 3, 2011 for all platforms, exclusively for Duke Nukem First Access Club Members.

"Duke Nukem Forever is the game that was once thought to be unshipppable, and yet here we are, on the precipice of history,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “Today marks an amazing day in the annals of gaming lore, the day where the legend of Duke Nukem Forever is finally complete and it takes that final step towards becoming a reality.”

Created over the span of 15 years, Duke Nukem Forever was first developed with the intense passion and commitment from an inspired group of dedicated designers, artists and programmers at 3D Realms under the direction of game industry icon, George Broussard.

“Duke Nukem Forever and its journey to store shelves is legendary,” said George Broussard, creative director at 3D Realms. “It's an epic tale of four game development studios that banded together and did the unthinkable and shipped the unshippable. When you play this game you will be reminded of that epic journey at every turn and in every small detail of the game. The character, attitude, interactivity, gameplay and political incorrectness combine to make a Duke Nukem game a unique gaming experience. In the timeless words of Duke Nukem it's finally time to 'Come Get Some'. Come be a part of gaming history.”

In 2009, after many believed that Duke Nukem Forever would never be completed, a small team of intrepid developers, known as Triptych Studios, resurrected the dream. Through their inspiring and steadfast commitment to the game and their exemplary talent and skill, they finally assembled the pieces to create an incredible, epic and cohesive gameplay experience. Under the production of Gearbox Software, Triptych Studios, Piranha Games and many other contributors joined together in a heroic effort to complete the long awaited game as a polished, full-featured triple-A title.

"Always bet on Duke, I did," said Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software. "I bet on all of the developers who have ever been a part of this legendary project and I bet that none of us want to live in a world without the Duke. I've played the final game and it is an incredible experience - a once-in-a-lifetime opus of interactive entertainment that reminds me once again why Duke Nukem is our King. The developers of Duke Nukem Forever at 3D Realms, Triptych, Piranha and finally at Gearbox deserve our thanks and respect for never giving up and have truly shown us that they have balls of steel!"

Strictly for the biggest Duke Nukem fans, the First Access Club grants members exclusive access to the pre-release demo on June 3, 2011 so that they are amongst the first to experience gaming history in the making. There are multiple ways fans can join the exclusive First Access Club, by pre-ordering the game from select retailers or by purchasing the Borderlands Game of the Year Edition on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 system and Windows PC.

True Duke Nukem die-hards will want to get their hands on the Duke Nukem Forever Balls of Steel Edition. This package is spilling over-the-brim with legendary content that is not to be missed by those who want the ultimate experience of this historic arrival. Premium items, such as a Duke Nukem Bust and an art book that chronicles the development of Duke Nukem Forever, flank a package that is overflowing with content. Check out http://www.dukenukemforever.com/preorder/ to see exactly how much stuff could be crammed into one box.

Apologizing to no one, Duke Nukem Forever is the high-octane video game equivalent of a Hollywood summer blockbuster. Starring the legendary lady killer and alien slayer, Duke Nukem Forever brings gamers back to a blastastic time when games were filled with head-popping, bone-rattling action, brazenly crude humor, impossibly statuesque women dying for affection, and catchy one-liners meant to make you laugh out loud.

Duke Nukem Forever is rated M for Mature by the ESRB. For more information on the game, including where to pre-order, please visit http://www.dukenukemforever.com.

That annoyed me alot, what is the point being duke if you are not carrying a shit load of gunnishment! i hope they patch that because, unless it was done for a technical reason, going for "realism" with duke nukem is silly :|

Thoughts?

I'd say that the game was..a bit confusing, but still OK. A mediocre mix of old and modern FPS shooter, but Duke Nukem himself made the game enjoyable even though it was a bit linear, full of cutscenes and had the 2 weapon system. DNF had its moments though. I really liked how it was full of references to the gaming and online genre :lol: and Duke still hasn't lost his charm.

Not a masterpiece but definitely not a complete failure (like Daikatana :shock:)

I've only been able to rock a few hours a night so far, and I have not yet finished the game. It's pretty rough, and from what I have seen and heard, in the 2 years or so gearbox have had the game, they have pretty much just ported it to the consoles. But, I never bought the game thinking it would be as beautiful as crysis 2 or play like a wet dream, it's duke, it's trashy, tacky, sexist, cheesy and fucking balls to the wall fun :mrgreen: I love all the humour and one liners! Throwing my first dumbbell at an alien's face was heavenly!

The problem with games like this is that they are trying to live up to the nostalgia that we all have with the DN3D and that is just impossible to surpass, because it is an emotional value. I'm really enjoying it and the only thing that is shit is the inability to carry more than 2 weapons, but it is not the end of the world. The beauty of duke is, he will empty a clip, chuck the gun to the floor, and pick up something that looks like an alien sex toy and shoot green shit into some swines face ! ! !

*walks past a suit that looks a lot like Master Chief*

Ha I don't need any of that fancy stuff!

And then proceeds to have a regenerating health bar (something halo is pretty much famous for with its shield), only carry 2 guns (another Halo thing)....

Overall it's fairly good. It has its moments, like Duke Burger which I found to be pretty damn good, but then it drags with some really dull areas like the Vegas streets right after you defeat the Assault Commander and talk to Graves. Some areas look pretty nice, like the Alien hive, while others look old and dated. It's very inconsistent in terms of looks and gameplay but otherwise I'm having a pretty fun time. The Mighty Foot part was nice and exciting.

One area that I'm disappointed with, apart from the regenerating health and 2-weapon system, is the level design. DN3D was quite non-linear, you could venture off the set path and go find secret areas and explore the overall map. In DNF it's just corridor after corridor with respawning enemies that you need to defeat in order to continue or otherwise a puzzle that you need to complete. There's no actual exploring since the levels, apart from Mighty Foot which is open but still there's hardly any reward for exploring the country side, are so enclosed.
For example the Hive part, while it looks good, its design is so incredible enclosed; you can't go exploring because if you do then you'll fall down a fucking pit and die. They could've done some really amazing with this, both in terms of conceptual grandness and gameplay wise.

Is it a worthy sequel to Duke Nukem 3D? Hell no. Is it a bad game? No. It's a fun though inconsistent game that could've been something really special if it'd been released back in 2001. Now it just feels old and dated.

By the way, when you complete the game you unlock some extras. In this menu you can look at some old screenshots showcasing the previous iterations of the game including the 1998 and 2001 E3 trailers. There's also two new videos which have never been showed before, these show what it looked like in 2003 (looks very much like the 2001 version apart from the Doom 3-esque lighting effects) and 2006 (looks much like the released version but still has some major differences).
