Hope to see this baby on Steam ^.^ perhaps a package with Duke Nukem 1/2/3D maybe even the later additions too =]

[ShiFteDReaLitY]

The announcement of this game being official now confirms 2012 Doomsday. :laugh:

Also: Its about time its going to be finished cant wait to play it!

[shakey]

If your PC can play any of the new games from this year I don't think you'll have a problem with this on the PC as well. I doubt it'll be raising any bars.

Ha, I wish I could play the games from this year decently ;P I'm running a Intel Celeron ( single core, but based off the dual core models ) 1.8ghz oced to 2.5ghz, with only 2 gigs of ddr2 ram, and a nvida 8600gt card. I'm lucky I have been able to push it as far as I have. One of the reasons I got a ps3, because I did not feel the need to spend much more on a PC again at this point. I have been away from consoles really since the dreamcast, so I have plenty to catch up on :)

remember this?

I remember it. The game still looks like it would be epic to play right now lol.

Hail to the king baby!

[rajputwarrior]

i still don't believe it

[Smashing Pumpkin]

Hahahaha, looks a little crap but good to see something I suppose :p

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

Still in shock tbh, but so happy they own the IP.

Not really expecting DNF to be amazing but subsequent games should be :D

[medicnick83]

I'll also buy this, depending on if I see a demo prior or something similar...

[soniqstylz]

Not feeling quite as targic now.

BTW, gearbox confirmed development is "complete", they're just polishing.

[DrunknMunky Veteran]

More like they just sewed together the parts 3D Realms created and are making a cheap buck releasing it :p

From the cam gameplay so far I haven't seen anything new yet. Just the same desert area and NFL stadium.

I'm all out of gum.

While this does slightly bother me, its at the point where i don't care who gets the money I just want the game. I feel sorry for the poor buggers who worked for DNF at a lower then norm wage expecting to get a cut of the sales... Wonder how thats going to work now? :p

Probably because that was the first thing 3D Realms completed and thus is likely to be the most polished. Don't want people playing a section that isn't very polished, of course.

[SomethingDark]

I'll believe it once I'm holding the disc.

Actually, scratch that. I'll believe it once it's installed. I mean, what if I pop in the disc and a screen pops up and goes "OH MAN, YOU BELIEVED US? LOL!"

That would be epic. Especially if done with Duke's voice -- before the various company animations.

Lol i think people would actually bomb the studio. I wonder how many threats 3D Realms has already had from hardcore fans? haha

So we can expect 2 awesome levels and the rest is filler :laugh:

Definitely worth the 13 years of waiting!

[mad_onion]

And isn't it still based on the Unreal 2 engine?

Really, I could care less about single player. Duke 3d revolutionized multiplayer games and how you could tweak and make almost anything do whatever you wanted it to. I sure hope we somehow, even on consoles, get a little portion of just that. I loved making the freeze ray actually enlarge someone to explode, or making cameras be able to shoot at people who passed by, or having the pistol shrink people. You could edit everything in the config on the pc to make it to almost anything. It was just crazy. Also, I hope a sdk is released to allow level creation as in the first. With everything Duke 3d had to offer, if it just does that with updated graphics, I will be pleased.

Now I miss those old school duke multiplayer days, but oh how I hated Ten.net :p

Just remembered a map where I laid like 50 pipe bombs in a custom "school" type map, and every room my friend would enter, the pipe bombs were set as proximity mines, and he would just die as I hide behind some rooms desk. He got so ****ed lol.

Bioshock was based on the Unreal 2 engine, FYI.

If that's the case why were they playing on the PC and not natively on the 360? :s

[Joshie]

Is anybody else here old enough to see Borderlands and mistakenly read Broderbund, or is it just me?

/my mind, it misleads me
