Oh god not again. How many years they will take to release this game. Damn its been about 14 years on its development and still its being delayed.

If Alan Wake can release, then so can this game. I'm sure they ditched the release as LA Noire is supposed to release on 17th May. Not to mention, a whole bunch of other titles are going to be out in May. So it's a tight schedule for game releases.

Btw , has anyone preordered the Balls of Steel edition?

From Joystiq:
The "Balls of Steel" Edition (yep), revealed to DNF "First Access Club" members, is overloaded with stuff, including a hardcover artbook, postcards, a logo sticker, a comic book, poker chips, dice, playing cards, a foldable papercraft, and -- oh yeah -- a bust of Duke Nukem. There's even a numbered certificate of authenticity, to prove to others that it's the genuine article. Notable omissions include steel stress balls and, in fact, anything spherical or metal.

It's 100$ if I remember right , and the bust is the highlight in that pack.

was introduced to the Duke in Manhattan Project which was an immensely over the top and fun sidescroller [2003]
i have been waiting ever since for the next installment
these THQ guys did take the word "Forever" too seriously :lol:
on the brighter side, 8 years of teasing and speculation made sure that the prices of the THQ stock never plummetted :|

This will probably explain why everyone is so excited about Duke Nukem. Probably.. DNF is the only AAA game in recent time to have a ESRB description of that size :p

Yeah true but its quite funny that it still got a "M" rating rather than "A".:))

You kiddin? AO games are banned in most of the retail chains and stores. And not to mention, on all the consoles. I think, they tried everything to surpass that AO rating.
gameranand
Apr 9, 2011 at 1:18 PM
Yeah I know that they are banned. But you know thats a quite big list from ESRB for a mature game well good for us that it didn't got a "A" rating.

Found this quite Amusing video

is it safe to rename the game to Duke Nukem 2011?
gameranand
Apr 11, 2011 at 6:38 AM
^^ Hmmm. No. They are making this game for a decade using this name changing this name would affect their business and so.

Why would you do that ?:|

What I think, he did, is, he has taken 'FOREVER' in the game title as an implication of the the release date (because of it's past history). As the game is releasing now, he is asking to name it 'DUKE NUKEM 2011' as a positive attitude towards the game releasing this year. I don't think he really meant to rename the game name to 2011. :p

Read the story of Duke Nukem here
The Duke Nukem Forever List
heres a small part
Duke Nukem Forever was a computer
game that had been under
development by 3D Realms since its
announcement on April 28th, 1997,
originally slated to use the (then) state
of the art Quake II 3D engine. A few months later, screen shots were
published in PC Gamer magazine,
along with an intended release date of
mid-1998. Excitement grew in May of
1998 when a few short video clips of
Duke Nukem Forever were shown at E3... Surely a final release of the game
was right around the corner! Just about when mid-1998 arrived
(June, specifically) 3D Realms
announced they were changing 3D
engines to Epic's Unreal engine.
George Broussard, the producer and
co-creator of the Duke Nukem series insisted that this change would not
cause any significant delay, despite all
logic pointing to the contrary. Also at
this point, Broussard assured
everyone Duke Nukem Forever would
see a 1999 release.

Or maybe they are being generous and that could help in sales. I mean if game is priced at 2500INR then very few people would buy the game but if game is cheaper then it would help a lot in sales.

I'm sure most of you would have seen the Ventrilo harassment of Duke Nukem on Youtube?

It's the funniest **** I've ever seen , even Jon St. John (Voice of Duke Nukem) admitted that he'd never seen funnier ****. Link below for your convenience , BALLS OF STEEL!

Looks like the game is out. I don't know how the full version is , but it looked like the demo only let you carry 2 weapons at any time and had a health regen system.

Umm... this is a more accurate duke nukem forever story. old, old story, but one of the most illustrative ever on the process of developing a sequel to a very successful game.

completed the game and personally I've enjoyed and liked it - the last boss fight was too easy

I never go for rating the game got from reviewers. Reviewers gave it a bad rating also because so much was expected from this game which it didn't delivered. I played it and enjoyed it. Alice the madness the madness returns also didn't got good reviews but is a damn good hack n Slash game so is beawulf which also got bad ratings. It entirely depends on personal taste.

I also have personal choices and taste but in case of fps nah..i have a lot choices to spent my money.

There are a flood of fps'es and i get one if something is special in it.
Why one will enjoy a pixelated blood if he has black ops , mw2 and similar.

Only Duke crazy will enjoy.

I found the little duke to be very cute and killing those rats and mini aliens was great fun though it was a bit tough when those heavily armored big bad ass alien soldiers tried to smash duke and but they got nuked anyway ;-)

Yeah the game is harder than I thought. Boss fights were kinda hard for me or maybe its just me. :)

Like I said before Personal Choices. I didn't liked the game much but I played it anyway. After all it took 14 years to develop the game I wanted to see what the heck were they doing for so many years but I was disappointed by that for sure.
