Re: Duke Nukem Forever

The appropriate April Fools joke would be that it was actually coming out on time.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

while funny, it smells of a marketing/business tactic. LA Noire comes out in May, and might just dominate all other games released near it like Red Dead Redemption did. Rockstar is a beast. This lets them move back and also heat up the internet buzz again.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

I did enjoy the delay announcement video, however. Randy Pitchford (president of Gearbox and the guy that bought Duke Nukem from 3DR) appears to be a really enthusiastic guy.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

Am I the only one happy about this? There are way too many great games that have just come out or are about to so this extra time is actually good for me. Crysis 2 might have been enough to keep me busy until June, never mind TW12, Shift 2, Nascar and Topspin 4. Luckily I decided not to get the Show this year.

Duke Nukem Forever is such an appropriate title.

I wanted to but I just couldn't do it. I like playing every game and not simming and the baseball season is too damn long for video games and I'll end up playing nothing else. Too many good games this spring that I would never end up playing because by the time I got thru with the Show then the fall hits and bunch of other new games are out.

Re: Duke Nukem Forever

2K Games and Gearbox Software announced today that Duke Nukem’s glorious comeback in Duke Nukem Forever ® will now explode at retail on June 10, 2011 internationally and June 14, 2011 in North America on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Windows PC. With gamers jumping out of their seats and waiting in line for hours to play the game at PAX East, it appears that the fans have spoken - Duke Nukem Forever is worth the wait.

“In case you haven’t heard, Duke never comes early,” said Christoph Hartmann, president of 2K. “We’re committed to deliver a laugh-out-loud, politically incorrect experience that people will talk about for years to come. We thank Duke’s fans for their continued patience - I promise this won’t take another 15 years.”

The incredibly unapologetic Duke Nukem Forever is the video game realization of the ultimate Hollywood summer blockbuster on steroids. Starring the iconic and legendary titular character, Duke Nukem Forever promises to reinvent the key ingredients necessary to create a summer smash hit that’s boiling over-the-top with irreverent humor, catchy one-liners that will make your mama blush, and frantic, bone-shaking action sequences that will simultaneously rock your world and neighbors’ walls. A statement from Randy Pitchford, president of Gearbox Software, is available to view at the following location - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Za0ho-vvkXU.

“I'm very sorry for the added delay. We've all been working extremely hard and are very eager to deliver the game to you," added Pitchford. “I’ve been thinking of these lyrics from the great country song, ‘He's The Duke’ - ‘He told us if we waited we could Come Get Some, but I never knew Forever was going to be so long.' If you're like me, June cannot come quickly enough."

In the interim, Duke Nukem Forever fans can pay their respects to the King by visiting the official Duke Nukem Forever website - www.dukenukemforever.com . It’s loud, lewd and definitely Duke approved. The site provides fans with stimulating content that will ease their eagerness, including Duke’s Boobtube channel and The Duke Cave, featuring babe and alien surveillance. Fans can also “come get some” by pre-ordering the game, along with the Balls of Steel edition, while supplies last.

Duke Nukem Forever will be available internationally on June 10, 2011 and in North America on June 14, 2011. For more information on Duke Nukem Forever , including where to pre-order a copy, please visit www.dukenukemforever.com. Duke Nukem Forever is rated M for Mature by the ESRB.

I recently bought Shogun Total War and The Show. No other game is on my radar for the next several months. There are a couple of games that might be worth a rental, but Duke is Duke.

Hopefully they use the extra time well.
